Can't believe I didn't post that last week the expansion of our neighborhood conservation district passed the final stages. Vickery Place was made a conservation district a few months ago, but the area covered was just a portion of the neighborhood. We then fast-tracked additional blocks into the district, our block included. The conservation district designation puts a few limitations on what can be built with the hopes of maintaining some of the charm of our 90+ year old neighborhood. Jim and I are very happy about this. And I'm quite proud of my husband. He was our block representative and spent many hours pounding the pavement looking for support among our neighbors.
In some sad neighborhood news, we discovered that Whole Foods will be moving into the Minyards location in Lakewood. Good for the company in that the building here was unable to expand so they can now build an 80,000 sq ft store and still be in East Dallas, but bad news for those of us who have gotten used to a Whole Foods being four blocks away.
