North of Richardson, North of Plano, North of Allen, North of McKinney, North of Frisco, And North of Prosper is the little community of Celina. Urban sprawl has come to Celina, and it is beginning to boom. It is still a small quiet community, but many of the major builders are building homes in this […]
There is no playground. There is no Dollar Menu. BUT – There is a drive-thru. Fast food that is handmade and wholesome is the goal of Start at 4814 Greenville Avenue in Dallas. (There is a new location at 4023 Lemmon Avenue in Dallas also.) I distinctly remember a conversation with Ever-Lovin’ when the kids […]
As a result of the unexpected accident that resulted in my broken hip, I found myself at the new Methodist Richardson Medical Center. This facility has been open for about eight months, and Ever-Lovin’ was eager to take pictures of this shiny new medical center so I could have a look/see. My experience here was mainly looking […]
I love recommendations – and it is something to get a recommendation from down south Houston way. Ever-Lovin’s sister Cathy is a regular reader of Lanabird. (Thank you very much!) She wrote to comment that she enjoyed the blog about Off-Site Kitchen, and… she had a recommendation for us. Thank you! “We stumbled on a place […]
Off-Site Kitchen (OFK) is on several “lists” (Eater Dallas, D Magazine, Dallas Morning News, Yelp, Crave dfw….) of burger joints to visit in Dallas. OSK had been on my “Want to Do List” for a long time. In fact, we tried to go there once and could not find a parking space so we had […]
Super Sister and I shop when she comes to town. On her latest visit, I asked her where she wanted to go. “Where is that shop where you got that black and white jacket?” she asked. Earlier I had told her that I got the jacket at a consignment shop. If Super Sister wants to […]
Alert! A new business called Richardson Mercantile has opened in Richardson. Richardson Mercantile has various small shops in booths that sell a vast variety of items – antiques, crafts, clothes, decorator items, jewelry, paint, and collectibles. Honestly you can find a little bit of this and that in this mall. Occasionally I have enjoyed shopping at the Frisco Mercantile, but […]
The George W. Bush Presidential Library was on my “Want to Do List” this Christmas. I was afraid that I was going to miss the opportunity to see the current exhibit – All Creatures Great and Small – that displays the ornaments from the 2002 White House Christmas tree and paper mache animals from that year’s White […]
On the Monday after Thanksgiving in 1914, students moved into an eight room modern red brick schoolhouse on Greenville Avenue. On December 6, 2014, students, staff, alumni, and members of the Richardson community, celebrated the 100th anniversary of this historic building. In 1927 more rooms were added to the red brick schoolhouse. At that time, people […]
The highly anticipated (by me at least) Twelve Days of Christmas display is open at the Dallas Arboretum. Order your tickets, and you too can enjoy the fun. As we entered the gardens, carolers in Victorian attire serenaded us. What a delightful way to begin our nighttime excursion to see the twelve decorated gazebos throughout […]
