One More Reason to Love East Dallas: Munger Place Neighbors Nab Burglar Together

Munger Place Burglar

It was so cool to see my old neighborhood in the news, and for a good reason.

Neighbors on Reiger Avenue had been plagued by teenage burglars and vandals breaking into their cars and relieving them of their property, but one thief was caught in broad daylight by a bunch of fed-up Munger Place residents.

This is all just after the annual Munger Place Days festival, a three-day home tour and bazaar that highlights the cool historic district’s inherent charm. These are the people that wave from their front porches as you walk your dog, so when they banded together to take down a criminal, the results were spectacular.

Way to go, Munger Place!

    I stopped shooting weddings and bar-mitzvahs – neighborhood take-downs are much more fun.
