UPDATE: DOUGHERTY’S MURAL
Our coverage of Dougherty’s Pharmacy possibly painting over the mural on the outside wall of its building received a lot of response. But Katherine Burrow, managing director of business development at Dougherty’s Pharmacy Inc., says there are no plans to remove the mural. The general manager of the Preston Royal Village store, who was quoted in last month’s story, no longer works there, Burrow says. Here is a sampling of reader comments:
Danny Hurley: “Not a fan of the mural. I’d like to see something new, but please don’t go away. Shopped there since it opened.”
Michele McMaster Hart: “The mural is only 10 years old, far from being a ‘Dallas landmark.’ Dougherty’s is the landmark pharmacy, not the mural.” Lindy Rainer: “What a shame it would be to remove that beloved mural. Perhaps the ones who update the Forest Lane murals will be able to freshen it up.”
Mike Hellmann: “No! Don’t do it! This quirky mural is what helps keep us apart from the boring suburbs.”
Coyotes Among Us
People on Nextdoor Hillcrest Forest are posting sightings and photos of coyotes. Sandra Pettit reported three coyotes trotting down the road in the 7200 block of Kenny Lane. Bonnie Bradshaw, president of 911 Wildlife, a company the City of Dallas contracts with, offers advice. Coyotes are thriving in Preston Hollow and other suburbs because of the high density of squirrels, rats and cottontailed rabbits. Those animals are a coyote’s favorite nosh.
What not to do if you see a coyote: Take a photo. “That teaches the coyote that it’s safe,” Bradshaw says. What to do if you see a coyote:
• Use the technique called “hazing” — act aggressively toward them. “If you get out of your car, shout, clap your hands, wave your arms, challenge the coyote, it will run away,” she says.
• Make sure you’re not inadvertently feeding the coyote. Bird feeders attract rats, squirrels and birds, she says. “So that becomes a coyote feeder. Instead of taking pictures and putting them on Nextdoor,” Bradshaw says. “Clap your hands, shout and make sure that you’re not inadvertently feeding them.” For more information, call 311.
