Dr. McCollum, These Guys Deserve Proof of Your Whereabouts

These two Parkie husbands are loved by women everywhere. I think they look confused because they’re wondering how they got roped into bar tending last Friday night for Susan McCollum’s “Tinis and Tiaras” party. I mean, David McCollum lives there but he took it as an opportunity to “speak at a conference.” Whatever, Dr. McCollum! More to come…

Re: Chocolate Rage

Re: Wassup (What is up) With the Fountain?

Thanks for the clarification, Jason. Merritt’s ghetto “wassup” had me totally entirely confused. Entry two on Urban Dictionary clearly explains what Merritt meant. I am glad we have such a useful tool at our disposal. We can add “wassup” to the list of words Jason dislikes.

Do you know what is happening to the fountain on Preston and Armstrong?
There is construction all around it.

I was hoping to find some information on the Park Cities People Blog.

A Twist on Chips

Needing something crunchy and delicious, yet somewhat healthy, Stephanie and I ventured to Whole Foods. Stephanie normally would have reached for the green bean chips, but they were out. But our eyes were immediately drawn to the bright orange display of carrot chips.

Stephanie, always the adventurous one, immediately reached for a chip and tried it. She said it was good. I’m a little less-than-courageous when it comes to trying new food, but I trust Stephanie.

So I reached for a bright chip and (more…)

Real Estate Buzz: Hot on the Market, Beverly at Preston

Everyone has been talking about the beautiful home at Preston and Beverly that was for sale by owner, but as of today, the property is listed with Keller Williams. (I guess even a property that visible was difficult to sell without a Realtor?) So here are the details: 4201 Beverly, asking price $2.495 million, on .4314 of an acre. The listing agents are Mary Jane Young, Cathy Baldwin, and Mary Ann Evetts of the Mary Jane Young Team at Keller Williams. Cathy said it should be on MLS today and will be on the Keller Williams site shortly.
