Wanna Have a Little Chat with Harry Reid and Chuck Schumer? Head On Over to Crescent With Very Fat Wallet

By Candy Evans / April 12, 2012 /

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and New York Senator Chuck Schumer will be in Dallas tomorrow at a $30,800 a-plate event for majority trust — or just $10,000 for the “chair” — Democratic fundraiser at the beautiful $4.2 million home of Russell and Dori Budd at 3707 Crescent at 1 p.m. That is very close to Doris Jacobs’ gorgeous listing at 3507 Crescent, listed for $6,995,000. Crescent is a very short street so while you’ve got them jam-packed in there, Doris, might be a good time to hold an open house or sip and see… you think?

I mean, now that Lamar is leaving the Mavs. So far not a word on trying to get out of the $7500 a month lease on unit 2604, and I’m told they have a sealed deal through August 2012. Then owner Mack Hicks will probably lease it again or put it on the market, obviously with Allie…

Monday Morning Millionaire: The House that (Lots and Lots and Lots) of Skewered Beef Built – Fogo de Chao

By Candy Evans / April 9, 2012 /

Actually, Micky Munir of the venerable Sharif & Munir Custom Homes, Inc. built 9996 Hollow Way, and I have been all over it. It is LOADED and perfect, as every home Mickey Munir builds is.
