Ispend a fair amount of time interviewing potential employees. Luckily, it’s not because we have lots of employee turnover; rather, it’s that we have lots of ideas and opportunities.
Recently, I was interviewing an applicant, this one a writer/editor interested in replacing someone moving back to California. So, out of curiosity, I asked the applicant about a couple of ideas we’ve been kicking around.
I mentioned to her we have a robust and active readership online (about 800,000 monthly), a fact that seems to elude a high percentage of our print-only magazine readers (about 180,000 monthly). I also asked her what she thought about potentially charging our online readers $1 per week to help support the multiple daily stories we write about neighborhood events, crime, development, news and restaurant/retail openings and closings, most of which never appear in our print magazine. What we produce online is like receiving a neighborhood newspaper for free daily; we even send the information out weekly via e-newsletter to more than 34,000 of you (check it out and sign up at advocatemag.com/social).
So, I asked, do you think readers would help us if we asked?
She thought about it for a bit, which I’ve found to be a good sign when considering applicants; people who have an instant answer for every question tend not to be all that interested in teamwork, given that they already seem to know everything.
By RICK WAMREvidual monthly magazine is now about $2 apiece, and our advertisers support 100 percent of this cost. If readers don’t pick up a magazine, thumb through it and buy products from our advertisers, we’re “dead meat” in a business sense.
So I tried again: What about potentially selling a small advertisement on the cover of our magazines, one that advertisers may be excited to purchase but shouldn’t interfere with the stories we’re telling? Would an ad like this, which would help generate additional income to pay our expenses, be OK with our readers?
As a journalistic purist, this idea seemed to be a bridge too far for her: “I don’t like that one,” she said, “but again, why don’t you ask your readers?”
So that’s exactly what I’m doing this month: Would you please take a couple of minutes to give me your thoughts about these ideas, as well as any others you have to help us improve?
If you will send me an email at rwamre@advocatemag.com with your suggestions, I promise I’ll read and respond to every one of them. Or better yet, visit prestonhollow.advocatemag. com/survey and complete a 10-minute readership study that is part of our regular circulation audit, enter your ideas in the space provided, and you’ll have a chance to win $500 or one of three sets of $100 restaurant coupons.
As for the applicant? She decided this isn’t the kind of place she wants to work at this point.

Families listen to popular children’s tales at Toddler Storytime.
Most students are ecstatic to abandon their notebooks and book bags for the summer. For parents, keeping their children occupied during the three-month vacation can be daunting.
From messy science experiments to interactive art projects, the Dallas Public Library’s summer events series engages children across the city when the weather is sweltering and parents are busy working.
“It gives kids a place to go during the summer and shows the value that the library provides,” says Lauren Hough, the children’s librarian at the Preston Royal branch. “We’re not just books. We’re a place for knowledge.”
The Preston Royal Library’s programs are so popular that Advocate readers voted it the best place to take kids in
Preston Hollow during our annual Best Of Contest in 2015.
Hough starts planning the summer series in January, so there’s plenty of variety for families. This year, 40 activities are slated throughout the summer. Kids can try their hand at creating color-changing slime, visit with raptors and watch skits performed by the Dallas Children’s Theater.
“I try to mix it up,” Hough says. “I like to get community helpers in the library, so they can see who is making the city great.”
All activities are slated at 2 p.m. For a complete list of summer events, visit dallaslibrary.org.

DID YOU KNOW: The pops are made with locally sourced ingredients and mixed with lemon juice, water and organic cane sugar. They’re time-consuming, but not complicated, to produce, says general manager Jonathan Veazey.
Two Steel City Pops locations weren’t enough to satisfy Dallasites’ ravenous craving for ice pops, so the Alabama-based company opened its third store in our neighborhood this year.
Now, Preston Hollow residents can stop by Preston Royal Village for the sweet treats instead of driving across town to Lower Greenville or Casa Linda.
The center’s rapid redevelopment and neighboring homes made the shopping center an ideal spot, says general manager Jonathan Veazey. He and owner Jim Watkins hope the shop’s laid-back atmosphere makes it a community staple the kind of place where teens hang out together and families meet after their kids’ soccer games.
“I really feel like we’re the anti-chain,” Watkins says. “Any time we go into a place, we want to know the neighborhood and community.”
Watkins launched Steel City Pops in 2012 after he grew bored of life as a musician at an Alabama church. The past five years, he’s worked to maintain a partnership with local growers, expand the frozen empire and test out new flavors.
Unconventional pops like pineapple jalapeno and hibiscus were deemed delicious enough to make the menu, although other flavors, such as honey and brie, were disastrous.
“So many things have been awful, but that’s part of the creative process,” he says. “If you don’t have failure, then you’re not pushing yourself hard enough.”

WHETHER CRUISING the street was a Saturday night pastime or a way to get a date, cars became engrained in pop culture during the 1950s, ‘60s and ‘70s. Movies like “American Graffiti” and “Back to the Future” paid homage to vintage automobiles and celebrated what some call the “good ole’ days.” Here in Preston Hollow, many residents restore these classic vehicles to preserve a piece of their free-spirited teenage years.
Ron Rendleman had a feeling that the 1933 Plymouth Coupe he bought as a Highland Park high-schooler could be something special.
But the Preston Hollow neighbor never expected the car would be his one constant over the past 60 years.
In 1957, Rendleman cruised around in a reliable, yet lackluster Chevy. The Plymouth Coupe came into his life when a carpenter at his high school made Rendleman an offer: $75 for the pale yellow coupe.
Rendleman was enamored with the vehicle’s short stature and hydraulic breaks. He begged his parents to lend him the money and promised to give them his paper route earnings the following week.
“As soon as I bought this, it changed my entire life,” he says. “I just knew I could do something with it.”
The classic car is memorialized in Rendleman’s major teenage milestones. He drove the coupe to his senior prom. His date wore an off-white ball gown that barely fit inside the car. He had to “all but push her into the damn thing.”
He drove it to college at the University of Texas at Arlington, where he was an ROTC student. Rendleman planned to be a commercial airline pilot, but the U.S. Army had other ideas. He received orders to deploy for Vietnam with the 119th Aviation Company only 11 days after he got married. The coupe sat in his parents’ driveway as his family patiently waited for him to come home.
Rendleman transported bodies and dodged bullets in a helicopter for a year before returning to the states. As he walked down the stairs onto the Love Field terminal, he saw his wife, longtime friend and family surrounding the car with the sign “Welcome Home from Viet Nam” on the passenger door. His friend, Allan “Bunky” Garonzik, spent days tinkering with the engine to surprise him.
God Almighty, Rendleman thought.
“I had no idea I was going to walk into the car,” he says. “How Bunky got them to agree to put that on the terminal, I don’t know.”
They thought the gesture would make Rendleman feel a warm welcome home from a controversial war, Garonzik says. The airplane’s passengers zoomed passed the car, but it caught the attention of the Dallas Morning News, who wrote several stories about Rendleman’s near-death experiences overseas.
“I felt, as I recall, that he was a little bit surprised, and he wasn’t expecting anything,” Garonzik says. “Knowing him, he may have been embarrassed.”
When he returned to Dallas, Rendleman got a job as an engineer designing printing equipment, a skill that proved useful when the car underwent major renovations in 1995. Many of the parts, like the hood mechanism and rearview mirrors, he manufactured himself.
Rendleman initially thought he’d only repaint the car, but it turned into a fiveyear project. The car’s pale yellow paint was replaced with a bright red coat. He refurbished the interior and replaced the engine.
“I had no earthly idea I was going to go this far with it,” he says.
It’s no longer the only vintage car Rendleman owns. A 1966 Army Jeep is stationed in his yard, and his garage houses a 1933 two-door Plymouth Sedan that his son found on eBay from an East-Coaster.
He alternates displaying each car in shows and won so many awards that he dedicated a room in his house to the trophies.
“I really prefer older cars,” he says. “The technology on Chryslers was so far ahead of any other at the time.”
“As soon as I bought this, it changed my entire life.”
George Caruth was 17 years old when he owned his first Chevrolet.
If he received all Bs on his report card, his father promised to pay for a Ford, Plymouth or Chevy. The cars weren’t terribly expensive, but they looked distinguished enough that Caruth wouldn’t carelessly leave gum wrappers on its floor.
That was enough of an incentive for Caruth to earn good grades at Highland Park High School.
“When grades got bad, [my father] took the battery cable off of it,” the Preston Hollow neighbor remembers.
After Caruth graduated, he learned the mechanics of the car so he could drag race at places near Dallas like Caddo Mills and Green Valley, which were popular in the late 1950s and ‘60s. He was hooked on the adrenaline rush of competing, but settling down to raise a family made the hobby shortlived.
“I just didn’t want to do something that might hurt me, and here I am with kiddos and a wife,” he says. “I just had to give up the drag racing, but I didn’t give up my interest in vehicles.”
Even though he’s owned roughly six classic cars since then, he jokes his current 1957 Chevrolets are his children. Like many parents when their kids move away, he missed his two-door sedan when his newlywed daughter brought the car to Denver in 2000. She convinced Caruth that the fire-engine red vehicle would be the perfect getaway car after her wedding. He agreed to leave it at their vacation home in Evergreen, where he only got to drive it three months out of the year.
“I got lonesome for it here in Dallas,” he says.
Caruth’s mechanic caught wind that a man was selling a boxy Chevy sedan delivery that once was used to transport materials for the U.S. Forest Service. Frustrated with the time-consuming renovations, the owner hadn’t reinstalled the vehicle’s engine or transmission, and an empty milk carton was its only seat.
Caruth knew it’d cure his empty-nest syndrome. He dedicated his spare time to having the Chevy restored. Nine months after Caruth bought the vehicle, it was up and running.
“It wasn’t a hobby,” he says. “I certainly haven’t done very many automobiles. It was a challenge to build this car the way I wanted, specifically the engine and transmission that I wanted.”
Caruth sold his home in Colorado four years ago, so both vehicles are back in Dallas. He doesn’t plan to let his kids out of his sight again, he says.
George Caruth’s Chevrolet sedan delivery and two-door sedan pay homage to the year he graduated high school: 1957.“I just had to give up the drag racing, but I didn’t give up my interest in vehicles.”
Johnny Brown keeps his eyes peeled for classic cars when he walks through Northaven Park on his mail delivery route. He’s even known to chase people down the road to compliment their vintage vehicles.
“If I see a classic car of any kind, I’ll walk out in the street to get them to stop,” he says.
The mailman’s infatuation with automobiles took off as a teen in Wichita Falls, where he spent most weekends racing cars and vying for girls’ attention. He’s the current owner of a 1976 Corvette and a 1971 Torino. His latest project is restoring a 1936 Chevrolet.
When Brown saw the 1956 Ford Thunderbird that Northaven Park neighbor Von Irwin renovated, the two immediately struck up a friendship. Irwin’s teenage
years consisted of joy rides up the Tail of the Dragon, an 11-mile stretch of highway that twists through the Smoky Mountains.
“We grew up in an era where mass transportation was new, and the automobile was the greatest thing of all time,” Irwin says.
They’re proud to have completed much of the restoration work with their own hands. Irwin spent a year holding
Johnny Brown’s white 1976 Corvette and Von Irwin’s red 1956 T-Bird underwent massive renovations.
“Wednesday Night Prayer Service,” where he and his buddies renovated the T-bird. Every nut, bolt and washer was stripped from the car before they replaced the interior and gave it a fresh coat of paint.
“Working on cars, if you hurt yourself, you prayed a lot,” he says.
Irwin and Brown have cut their hands in the midst of repairs more than a few times, but they prescribe to the paperand-tape treatment plan. It’s given them bragging rights, and they often swap stories.
They don’t mind how tedious renovations can be. It brings them back to their youth, something other generations may not appreciate like they do, Irwin says.
“It doesn’t bother me because I’ll have my classic until the day I go 6-feet under,” Brown says.
“Working on cars, if you hurt yourself, you prayed a lot.”
Tyler Wayne’s dream car was covered in dirt and rust.
Then a high school senior, he kept seeing it, parked in the back of a shop that he used to drive by every day in the Austin neighborhood where he grew up.
Finally one day, he asked the owner about the car, a 1968 Mercury Cougar XR7, and found out it was for sale.
“I asked my dad about it, and he was really excited,” Wayne says.
He paid $1,600 for it in 2004, towed it home on a trailer and started cleaning it up. Thus began a lifelong love of American muscle cars and motorcycles.
Wayne, now 30, is a Southern Methodist University graduate who lives in Preston Hollow and runs Wayne Works, a small business where he makes furniture and lighting.
When he got the Cougar home, its original cranberry-red paint had faded to a flat brown. His dad, always a car guy, was supportive but hands off.
“It was a baptism by fire,” Wayne says.
He read old shop manuals and the history of Ford motors. He learned acetylene welding, how to rebuild the engine and whatever else his project needed. After moving to Dallas for college, he’d continue working on the car during breaks. He finally got it restored, painted it a dark metallic grey and drove it back for his daily driver as an SMU junior.
“It has a lot of sentimental value,” Wayne says. “I’ll never sell that car.”
In 2012, Wayne and his dad decided to begin working on another car they’d always wanted. They bought a 1965 reproduction Shelby Cobra kit from Factory Five Racing.
Wayne is almost giddy when he describes the day it was delivered to his garage. He remembers the exact date: Aug. 22, 2012.
They worked on the Cobra about
every weekend, and in February 2013, they painted it Brittany blue, a period correct color. The paintjob alone cost about $7,200, bringing the car total to around $50,000.
They brought it to the annual Cobra Club meet in San Marcos that March and put a couple of hundred miles on it.
Wayne’s mom made a photo memory book of the whole process.
“It’s learning new things, achieving milestones, and doing it all with people you want to spend time with,” he says.
The ’68 Mercury is in pieces right now. Wayne still likes to tinker on it. He and his dad have taken the Cobra on a few other excursions.
Wayne says he still has car goals: A ’67 or ’68 Austin Healey, which he calls “A Sunday gentleman’s car.” He’d also like a ’49 or ’50 Mercury, a “lead sled.” And a ’77 Trans Am because of “Smokey and the Bandit.”
“It’s an element of nostalgia for a time that I didn’t grow up in,” he says. “It’s hard to be in a bad mood when you see a car like that. It makes people smile.”
—RACHEL STONE Tyler Wayne with his ‘68 Mercury and his Shelby Cobra reproduction. Both cars are projects Wayne worked on with his dad.There were cocktail parties and picnics, but there wasn’t much drinking or dancing.
By today’s standards, celebrations in Preston Hollow were seemingly lackluster throughout the early 1940s. Residents hosted social events at their homes, where liquor rarely was served.
“There was never a place you’d go have a beer. That was unheard of,” says longtime neighbor Eva Potter Morgan, whose family first purchased property on Park Lane in 1926.
Preston Hollow didn’t incorporate until 1939. The 2-square-mile municipality consisted of dirt roads, rambling estates and a lone grocery store.
Surrounded by wooded thickets and fields, the town was bucolic, Morgan says.
Preston Hollow enforced strict rules to maintain its wholesome reputation during the short-lived stint as a suburb. Selling alcohol and dance halls were banned, along with loud speakers and loud talking, according to archived documents.
Preston Hollow could’ve inspired the 1984 film “Footloose.”
But the catalyst for all the rules was the town’s sole restaurant, not rebellious teens.
When businessman Sam Lobello opened Lobello’s at Northwest Highway and Preston Road, the neighbors were rattled by the drive-in’s neon signs, blaring megaphone music and a tower lit up so bright that it spewed green reflections into the intersection.
“Here we were surrounded by corn and cotton fields, and it was a ship coming out of the night,” Morgan says.
Homeowners thought the establishment was gaudy and its beer-drinking patrons too raucous, according to archived documents. Waste and debris from Lobello’s ran through a drain ditch and flooded nearby property. Customers yelled and honked their horns. Smoke from the kitchen polluted the air.
In response, the town held an election to outlaw the sale of alcohol and quell the restaurant-goers in 1940. Lobello begged neighbors to reconsider the proposal in a letter.
He would take their criticism seriously, he said, and even hired a watchman.
“In a desire to build up my patronage, I am sorry to admit that I overlooked certain important matters concerning the welfare and comfort of you, my neighbor,” he wrote in the letter, dated Feb. 23, 1940, that is featured in Morgan’s book “Preston Hollow.”
Lobello’s attempt to appease failed. Community members voted 97-49 to outlaw liquor sales, according to a February 1940 Dallas Morning News article.
“Preston Hollow voted dry to protect
the community from damage resulting from undesirable places opening up along Preston Road,” prominent resident and developer Ira P. DeLoache told the newspaper. “I’m sure the vote was not against liquor as such, but to keep its sale from getting too close to our doors.”
Prohibiting the sale of alcohol didn’t calm the community. Five months later, residents petitioned the Town Council of Preston Hollow to curtail the lights, smells and sounds emitting from Lobello’s, too.
“We contend that a public nuisance exists … that our home lives are being disturbed … our peace and privacy destroyed … our property values jeopardized,” the petition reads.
The council approved yet another ordinance in hopes of halting recurring shenanigans. Businesses couldn’t use loud speakers to broadcast radio or music. “Spieling or loud talking” in public places was also banned. Punishment wasn’t taken lightly; fines ranged from $10-$100.
The ordinances didn’t keep residents from complaining about the sewer water leaking onto their property or its tacky appearance. Lobello’s never stopped serving customers, though. The restaurant ultimately outlasted the town. Preston Hollow was annexed into Dallas in 1945, and Lobello’s didn’t close until the mid1960s.
“Here we were surrounded by corn and cotton fields, and it was a ship coming out of the night.”
The vast majority of Preston Hollow people are married, but keeping connected in this busy world can feel daunting, when it’s harder for a husband and wife to spend time together. Here, local couples with relationship longevity share how they use the neighborhood and joint activities to keep the spark glowing.
Leah and Scott Mann recently basked in a mutual love of the arts during a painting class at the Preston Royal Library. They have been together 24 years and moved to this area several years ago from Bakersfield, Calif. They love Preston Hollow and, being foodies, they especially enjoy trying the new restaurants in our area.
“We also like to occasionally grab our bicycles and ride up to the trails of Brookhaven College and enjoy the outdoors,” says Leah.
When not exploring all Preston Hollow has to offer, they love hopping in the car to see where they end up. When they don’t want to go far, they just like to sit in their own living room and listen to records with a nice glass of wine.
“If I sum up what we like to do together, it’s always something different: eating out, dancing, music, movies, day trips, vacations, you name it,” she says.
Esther and Riqui Villarreal, married six years this June, enjoy having long conversations throughout Preston Hollow and their deepest conversations have taken place at a late-night Starbucks.
“There’s something special about being out on the town at 10 p.m., watching people hustle in and out of the shops, feeling like our city is alive,” says Esther.
The couple also enjoys reading together at Barnes and Noble, and even though they’re not talking, they’re spending time
together. Esther thinks it’s important to spend time doing mundane things.
“We love going to the grocery store shopping together at Central Market, grabbing some sushi and eating it out on the patio. We also love riding bikes through the neighborhood and finding a way to get healthy together.”
One of Robin Carafiol’s and Brad Crumpecker’s favorite things to do is stay home on a Friday evening, cook dinner, drink a nice bottle of wine and just hang out together.
“We love to turn on some good music while we cook, then sit down to eat din-
ner and tune into some of our favorite TV shows or watch a movie,” says Carafiol.
The couple of 13 years also loves Preston Hollow and can often be found exploring the shops and restaurants at Preston Forest and Preston Royal.
“I go to Central Market a couple of times every week and we love Fish City Grill, Neighborhood Services, Woodlands and others. We frequent these restaurants and feel like we’re dining with neighbors, which is a comforting feeling to be with neighbors,” says Carafiol. “The key is to plan to go out and do something—just have fun doing whatever it is and enjoy being together. We take our fun and happiness with us wherever we go.”
“There’s something special about being out on the town at 10 p.m., watching people hustle in and out of the shops, feeling like our city is alive.”
NEW TO THE NEIGHBORHOOD
TreeHouse isn’t the only Austin-based business headed to the Hollow. Hat Creek Burger and Tacodeli recently announced they’ll join the eco-friendly home improvement store at The Hill Shopping Center near Walnut Hill Lane.
Costco opened in May only six months after construction began. Located just outside our neighborhood on Coit at Churchill, the Washington-based company received $3 million in economic funds from the City of Dallas to buy the $16-million land.
The T. Boone Pickens Hospice and Palliative Care Center is Dallas’ first standalone hospice center. Located at 12477 Merit Drive, the center is expected to serve 1,200 families per year.
Knox-Henderson’s The Gypsy Wagon is making an appearance at the Preston Royal Village this summer. The boutique is opening a pop-up shop between Toy Maven and Pure Barre through July 30.
In July, Fossee’s Shoes will close its doors for the last time. The Preston Forest Shopping Center staple opened in 1986, and owner Nancy Fossee is ready to try something new. “I’ve been here 31 years, and I guess it’s time to move on to something else,” she said.
Dough Pizzeria traded its Preston Hollow shop for a spot in Plano. Co-owners Brad Liles and Keith Hall, who live in the suburb, cited its recent growth as their reason to relocate the eatery.
Fast-casual Japanese eatery Sumo Shack replaced SMU Boulevard’s Banh Shop, which closed this past January. The restaurant focuses on quirky hot dogs, bao and ramen.

Churches are not exempt from the consumer mentality
Shocking. Heartbreaking. This. Believe. Surprising.
These are a few of the common clickbait words used in Internet headlines to lure you into reading. So, it shouldn’t have “surprised” me to “believe” that I would have clicked on “this”: “Survey shocker: music dead last, sermons first, as worship draws.”
The story got my attention, especially because I like empirical reinforcement about how important my sermons are. There, I said it. I wasn’t as happy to read the low esteem for music. My sympathies were roused for worship leaders ministers, choirs and instrumentalists. Then I realized people who took the survey probably don’t go to my church, so they can’t be blamed. Of course, I figure they all do go to my church about the sermon part.
The Gallup people who did this recent survey found that fully three-quarters of respondents cited sermons that illuminate the scripture and apply it to daily life as the top reason people attend a particular church. This comes in just ahead of spiritual programs for children and youth, and engagement in community outreach. Last on the list was music, whether a good choir or praise band.
But think about what worship would be without music that raises our praises to God. And imagine a church with great preaching and dreadfully poor music. I suspect excellence in one is tied to excellence in the other. And that’s true across the board, whether education or community involvement.
Sometimes surveys like this try too hard. My biggest complaint is how they play into the consumer mentality of why people go to church. We have too much “à la carte religion” today: people picking and choosing according to their tastes
and preferences. Next thing you know, we’ll be installing Facebook-like buttons in the pews with emoji choices of like, love, haha, wow, sad or angry.
If there is a positive aspect of the results of the survey, it may be counter to the point I just made: Maybe people are looking for depth after all. And that’s worth celebrating.
As one survey commentator put it: “Churches feel they need to keep entertaining people in the pews to keep them coming. We’re a culture that likes to be entertained. … It can be a part of our lives but it shouldn’t be what we live for. I think churches are probably responding to modern man’s need to be entertained all the time It can feel

like we’re watching a talent competition instead of answering deep meaningful questions about our God.”
It used to be that we went to the movies to be entertained and to church to wrestle with life’s questions about meaning and purpose. Sometimes now it seems to have switched. Faith communities should remember their reason for being.
Church aims to call us out of a self-centered living and invites us to participate in the story of what God is doing in the world. In other words, it’s about God, not us. Only God is worthy of our worship.
