WHAT’S UP WITH NEIGHBORHOOD BUSINESSES
Preserving East Dallas
Peak’s Addition neighbor Nathaniel Barrett is a CPA by trade, but he moonlights in development. He owns Barrett Urban Development, a boutique firm that focuses on revitalizing buildings rather than demolishing. Barrett has devoted his time to restoring a pair of commercial buildings in Old East Dallas built in 1926 and 1946. The two 3,700-square-foot buildings that were once a pharmacy and hair salon have been divided into five commercial erties Co. purchased the center in 2011 and has upgraded many of the buildings since then.
Vivian’s Boutique Spa is now open for business at the corner of Greenville and Ross.
Food News
If you’re craving something sweet, Edith’s Pâtisserie Boulangerie at Mockingbird Station is serving fresh macarons, croissants and cakes. The European eatery also serves breakfast, lunch and dinner in a dog-friendly, Parisian-inspired environment.
Hello Dumpling is rising from the ashes of Good 2 Go Tacos, which was laid to rest in January. The restaurant at 1146 Peavy Road plans to offer roughly 10 varieties of the Chinese staple. An adjacent tea salon will take the place of Cultivar Coffee.
spaces. Renovations have been time-consuming; he’s replaced the roofs, installed new electrical outlets and repaired the plumbing. But he hopes to have tenants in place shortly, and says a donut shop is interested in one of the locations.
In a last-ditch effort to preserve two East Dallas buildings, Dallas’ Landmark Commission approved requests that could prevent their demise. Both the Elbow Room and Dallas ISD headquarters on Ross Avenue are undergoing the city’s “Landmark Status Process,” although they already have been approved for demolition. “The city needs to make some decisions about whether initiating landmark status offers any protections [for buildings after demolition permits are issued],” says David Preziosi, executive director of Preservation Dallas.
New Developments
Lakewood Shopping Center has a new owner: Stockdale Investment Group . According to its website, the company is interested “in investing, developing, and managing real estate assets that are well located, but are either underperforming or functionally obsolete.” Lincoln Prop-
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.
Closing Time
Dallasan Cards and Gifts is closing up shop after at least 53 years around the neighborhood “I’m not closing because I want to but because the face of retail has forever changed,” says Chuck West, a Lake Highlands dad who has owned the shop since 1999, back when it was Dallasan Hallmark. “Millennials and those younger crowds simply don’t buy traditional greeting cards. I can get mad about it, I can stomp my feet, but I can’t do anything to change that.”
Excellence ER of Lakewood has shut its doors after a three-year run in the Skillman-Live Oak Shopping Center. It’s the first standalone emergency room in Lakewood to shutter, although many speculate the business model won’t last longterm because of the high cost to patients. The often unclear pricing has been a widespread complaint, and the Texas Legislature is considering a bill to prevent “surprise bills” at such facilities.

The heat is coming. That means months in the refreshing waters of a cool swimming pool. Use these tips to stay safe in these sweltering months.
• Swim in areas designated by lifeguards.
• Never leave a child unattended near the water.
• Protect your skin with sunscreen that is at least SPF 15. • Re-apply every hour, especially after being in the water.
• Drink plenty of water, even if you’re not thirsty. Avoid alcohol.
• Make sure there is approved swim equipment close by for emergencies and inexperienced swimmers.
