Candy's Lease of the Week: Pretty Little Thing in The Wyndemere is Easy to Love

By Joanna England / April 9, 2013 /

It’s not too often that you can get a condo with a fireplace, but here one is, in the Wyndemere.   I love this little one-bedroom, one-bath condo, and here’s why: it’s super sleek with black granite counters in the kitchen and bath, fresh floors, a huge closet, and did I tell you about that…

It’s Time To Get Outside: Margaret Chambers Has Tips For Making Your Outdoor Space an Extension of Your Home

By Joanna England / April 9, 2013 /

Every spring I face a dilemma: What do we do about our back deck? We’ve tried a lot of different things to make it more inviting — having a corner bench built, putting up a Coolaroo shade, adding plants, putting down an all-weather rug — and still, when the summer starts to peak, we head…

We Asked, They Answered: District 14 Candidates Bobby Abtahi, Judith Liimatainen, and Jim Rogers

By Joanna England / April 9, 2013 /

Editor’s Note: This is the second installment of our series of Dallas City Council candidate questionnaires. You can see the first here. We attempted to contact each candidate in every contested race (10 races total), and those who responded with a working email address received the same eight questions. We gave them until April 5 to respond. Below you’ll find the answers to our questions, which we did not edit or abridge.

We chose District 14 candidates Bobby Abtahi, Judy Liimatainen, and Jim Rogers to be our second group of questionnaires posted here on CandysDirt.com. District 14, a seat vacated by the popular Angela Hunt, has a wide field of candidates and is considered one of the biggest races to watch. While we sent questionnaires to all seven District 14 candidates, only three responded to our brief questionnaire. Find out more about these candidates and their views on hot-button Dallas real estate news and issues below.
