Bishop Arts District
Happy Friday! Here’s a great home to end this week on — a gorgeous, freshly restored prairie-style house within walking distance of the Bishop Arts District. Lots of great homes can be found in North Oak Cliff, a favorite neighborhood of ours. Why do we love it? Diversity of architecture, fabulous shopping, walkable and bike-friendly…
Last December I had my hissy fit about Roy’s Transmission & Autocare at 138 W. Davis. The shop lies splat in the center of the city’s plans to create a cute million dollar plus plaza and streetcar stop at Zang and Seventh. Basically, Roy Smith has been fixing cars at this location for 18 years. The city wants to buy Smith’s tire shop property to build a way cool entrance to Bishop Arts, including a children’s playground. Smith has no objections except the green kind: he wants to be paid enough money to relocate and get another business. Last year, he said he had his property appraised at $775,000 when the city offered him “only” about $205,000.
