Last night Candy and I, both Pink Wall property owners, attended the (hopefully) final neighborhood meeting with Transwestern on their proposed complex on the northeast corner of Preston and Northwest Highway. It goes before the City Council on Aug. 20. While the proposed structure will not win any design awards, it’s inoffensive. And of those…

When It’s This Hot in Texas, You Need a Home With Trees, Bees & Two Master B’s
