Angela Hunt Responds: I Do Not Support a Taxpayer-Funded CSI Lab Devoted to Analyzing Canine Excrement

By Candy Evans | November 14, 2012 |

Aside from her vote on Dallas taxes a few years ago, I knew I’d like Angela Hunt. She took the time to write me that her quote made it sound like she was supporting Poo Prints, the dog-poo DNA program in effect at The Ilume and other Dallas apartments. Here is another thing I like…

What Would the (Purported) Secession of Texas From The U.S. Mean to Texas Real Estate Values?

By Candy Evans | November 13, 2012 |

Update 11/13: UnFair Park has a list of questions to be answered before we secede. Surely you have heard of Micah H., an Arlington resident, who has petitioned the United States of America, technically the newly elected President of the United States, for permission to remove Texas from the rest of the country.

I’m in looooooooove! It just took one look at this magnificent home — 4612 Watauga in Bluffview — and I was swept off my feet! The front of the home is so lush and gorgeous, you can practically imagine the Harold Leidner landscape was airlifted in from the Dallas Arboretum. And the backyard is just…
