One of My Fave Dallas Real Estate Agents Reports From Hanover, New Hampshire: Animal House Lives On

By Candy Evans / June 13, 2012 /

I have told you that I have an extremely soft spot for Dartmouth men. They would be my husband, John Sughrue (Harvard first, won’t hold that against him, but holds an M.B.A. from Dartmouth), Maxwell Anderson, Mickey Stuart, boyfriends in my past, and of course, Allie Beth Allman’s Ira Archer. Ira is up in Hanover…

Tuesday Two Hundred: Live in the Honeypot of Oak Lawn and Club It Up

By Candy Evans / June 12, 2012 /

Let’s face it: living in Oak Lawn is just fun. Oak Lawn was the first place we ever lived in Dallas, and you get a kind of free swinging singles vibe that can be fun at 25 or 65. And of course, you have the best entertainment in town come Friday night there on Cedar…
