XNeighborhood News
by Mary Jo MelbankThe newsletter, beginning with this issue,
will carry news on the activities of Dallas'
neighborhood associations. News this month
is from the following neighborhood asso-
ciations.
The Northern Hills Neighborhood Asso-
ciation (NHNA) is proudly waving its green
thumb. Thirteen crape myrtles and twenty-
five live oaks were recently planted in the
parkways. This impressive neighborhood
beautification project came after much con-
sultation with landscape planners, nursery-
men and horticulturists. Since Northern
Hills already has many beautiful live oaks
and crape myrtles, it was decided to plant
additional trees in the sparse areas of the
parkways. A cooperative purchasing plan
was arranged whereby a homeowner who
agreed to have a tree planted in his parkway
would pay half the cost of the tree with the
Association bearing the other half. The As-
sociation collectively bought the trees, so
the actual cost to the homeowner was under
$20.00. Planting and care instructions were
also provided to all participants in the proj-
ect. The diligent members of the "tree com-
mittee" were Margaret Tallman, Kay
McAtee, Eleanor Maclay and Suzy Streich.
Another landscaping problem that NHNA
sought to resolve, and did so successfully,
was improving the condition of the circle at
the intersection of Overbrook and Glen-
wood. Through the efforts of Kay McAtee,
president of NHNA, the neighborhood
signed a letter of agreement with the city for
improving the circle. The city cleared out
excess shrubbery and agreed to allow the
neighborhood to plant and maintain the
annuals in the circle.
Munger Place Homeowners Association
recently elected new officers for the 1980-81
year. The new officers are Jerry Erwin, Presi-
dent; Marvin Kuers, Vice-President; and
Don Criswell, Secretary-Treasurer. The As-
sociation also selects Block Captains; they
are Joan Criswell, Vince Hendricks, Roger
Carroll, Tom Salas, Kevin Moran, Doris
Thompson, JoAnn Erwin, Kevin Hall,
David Hill and Larry Johnson.
Munger Place will be participating in the
Urban Pioneer Tour scheduled for Septem-
ber 27th and 28th. Molly Eichenberger is
the chairman for Munger Place, and prep-
arations are in the works for a beer garden
and a crafts fair to complement the tour of
homes. Munger Place homes on tour this
year are Doug and Linda Jones, 5123 Worth;
Don and Joan Criswell, 5107 Junius; The
Beilharz House on Reiger and Joe Goyne's
Restoration House of the Year, 5012 Junius.
President Corky Sherman reports from
the recent meeting of the Old Oak Cliff Con-
servation League (which includes the neigh-
borhood associations Winnetka Heights
and Kidd Springs) that the League will par-
ticipate again in the Urban Pioneer Tour.
There will be five houses on tour and for
the first time two of them will be in the
Kidd Springs area. In the past, all the houses
on tour had been in Winnetka Heights. Butch
and Carla Boss are this year's chairpersons.
Two other items of interest from Old Oak
Cliff are first, that the League is finishing
up the work required in making application
to the National Registry; and second, it is
presently jostling with the city over jurisdic-
tion to enforce the Planned Development
Zoning Code against two recent violations
in the Old Oak Cliff area. Briefly, the PDZ
Code freezes homes at their existing density
level, e.g. single or multi-family. The main
objective is to maintain the number of sin-
gle family dwellings. The current violations
have to do with creating multi-family homes;
in one instance, a triplex from a single family
home. Resolution of the problem lies in
part with the city deciding which of its de-
partments has jurisdiction for enforcing the
code. More on this subject later.
The Swiss Avenue Historic Association is
beginning to plan for the 1981 Swiss Ave-
nue Tour of Homes. Cathy Doyle will be
chairman and the tentative date is Mother's
Day Weekend. Six to seven homes will be
featured on the tour with a parade headlin-
ing the weekend's festivities. A number of
Special Events are being planned as well. It
will be the 9th year for the tour with this past
year being the most successful so far. Earn-ings from the tour are placed in the Associa-
tion treasury, earmarked for neighborhood
projects. Members of the Association hope to
be voting in September on various proposed
improvement/beautification projects.
Jack Gosnell, president of the Vineyard
Neighborhood Association, was happy to
announce that five houses in the Vineyard
area will be on the Urban Pioneer Tour. For
those unfamiliar with the neighborhood'sformal name, it is the popular residential
and commercial area bounded by Maple,
Allen and McKinney. "Taste of the Vine-
yard" will be the neighborhood's highlight
activity during the Urban Pioneer Tour. It
is a buffet supper held at the Quadrangle at
7:00 p.m., September 27, featuring repre-
sentative dishes from twenty-five restaurants
in the Vineyard. Reservations are required
(651-0129) at $10.00 per person. Steve Byars
is chairman.
The Central Business District Association
is again sponsoring Cityfest activities dur-
ing the month of October to highlight Down-
town Dallas. Watch for announcements on
these special events.
A new 1980 "What's Up in Downtown
Dallas Tour: scheduled for Saturday, Octo-
ber 25, at 9:00 a.m. will feature new and
proposed developments in downtown Dallas.
This will be the fifth individually designed
tour since 1976 sponsored by the Central
Business District Association, SMU, and
several cooperating organizations. Featured
this year will be the Plaza of the Americas,
One Dallas Centre, Reunion Arena, the Belo
Home, and the Fox and Jacobs downtown
houses.
Guides for the tour will be architects, city
planners, and businessmen especially trained
for the tour. After lunch at Reunion Station,
four authorities on downtown development
will speak on "The Downtown Dallas Meta-
morphosis."
Call Jo Fay Godbey at SMU's External
Affairs, 692-2532, or Toni Strother at the
Central Business District Association,
757-8555, for reservations. Cost, including
luncheon and materials, is $15.
The Annual Cityfest party will be held on
Wednesday, September 25, from 5:30 to
8:30 p.m. at the Mobil Building. All

gue are invited to attend.
