Ever wondered who to call when the storm drain starts to flood your street, how you can facilitate historic preservation, or what ways you can support your neighborhood Dallas ISD campuses?

You can answer these questions and more on Saturday during the annual Dallas Homeowners League Boot Camp. The event held from 8:15 a.m. to 1 p.m. at Dallas City Hall will also include a panel discussion moderated by Dallas Morning News reporter Robert Wilonsky on what neighborhoods need to do in today’s changing urban environment. Expect a lively back-and-forth from panelists Monte Anderson of Options Real Estate, housing expert Mercedes Marquis urban planner and blogger Patrick Kennedy, and D Magazine founder Wick Allison.
