  Dallas Drudgery

  Residential 1 Comment
  Here’s our good friend Steve Brown over Dallas News. He says DFW property values are down 5%. You can tack this onto his never-ending list of conflicting statistics.

  In all fairness to Steve though, some of the differences do lie in time frames being compared.

  Top HOA Websites

  Local Stuff, Residential No Comments
  I spent some time going through local HOA websites to try to find one that should really be the standard. It was a close call, but I have to put them in this order. It was really close call on some of these, but I had to put the top three in the following order.

  1. The Villages of Woodland Springs. I have to admit, I wasn’t exactly sure where Woodland Springs was at first, but this Keller community has by far the best HOA site I have seen to date. It is well designed, with an active blog, and the FAQ resources are just outstanding.
  2. Fairmount Southside. The Newsletter resource really stands out on this site, everything is kept up to date and readily available. Extra points for the community garden. I honestly expected this to be a little more aesthetically pleasing than it was.
  3. Arlington Heights. This is a very attractive clean looking site that keeps in touch well with its membership. I would have rated it higher, but there is no access to a blog which I believe they have, and the newsletters are outdated.

  The neighborhood site is a great tool that can be used to really add to your community. I suggest that all areas model themselves after one of these sites and do everything that you can to make your neighborhood stronger.

  Frogs host Super Bowl Team

  Local Stuff No Comments

  TCU does have some immaculate facilities, and those facilities have afforded the school an opportunity to host the AFC contender for the 2011 SuperBowl. The team will stay at the Omni hotel in Downtown Fort Worth, and practice at TCU’s indoor facility.

  This is a fantastic PR piece for TCU, and great for the entire city. I look forward to the event and what it can do for Fort Worth. I don’t look forward to being on any major highways during that time.

  Perhaps this may serve as a wake up call for more serious public transportation.

  Lancaster gets Light

  Pretty nifty stuff lighting up Lancaster Avenue with these tremendous sculptures.

  Isn’t it interesting how much the small things can do for a city?
