Summer Social Recap
On July 3rd, PAHA held its monthly meeting and a social at the home of Sherry Swanson and Brent Duncan. Sherry treated guests to tours of the amazing renovations she and Brent have done to the house and then guests mingled with each other over drinks and appetizers. PAHA President J.W. Brasher led a brief meeting. He described the proposed Reconciliation Outreach plan to renovate the Brannon Building at the corner of Peak and Bryan into a charter school. Brasher summarized plans the neighborhood has heard so far and indicated that the Board and Old EDAN believe that a school in this location is a poor use of a great space. Brasher also detailed plans for an apartment complex development near the intersection of Fitzhugh and Live Oak. The apartments are currently slated to be large, upper to medium priced apartments with a Craftsman exterior. Brasher commented that this developer had been very responsive to the concerns of the neighborhoods and made numerous changes after speaking with neighborhood representatives.
Pamela Ashford, our city services coordinator, spoke about her job and updated guests on recycling options in Dallas. She encouraged guests to call her if they have a problem with city services.
After the meeting, guests ate hot dogs and burgers cooked up by Clark Mitchell and Mark Staring and enjoyed the pot luck side dishes. In spite of the heat, everyone had a great evening of good food and good fellowship. Join us for our next general meeting.
