Pilates studio open at Preston and Forest

Neighborhood resident Elizabeth Lindberg celebrated the grand opening of The PilatesBarre, located at the northwest corner of Preston and Forest next to The Mercury, on Sept. 12. The locally owned company’s original branch is in Snider Plaza. The new 2,500-square-foot studio will offer Pilates and boot camp classes seven days a week. The studio is equipped with 12 state-of-the-art “Megaformers,” which are Pilates devices that provide more versatility and resistance for a better workout. The PilatesBarre uses the fitness philosophy of Sebastien Lagree, who expands upon strength and cardio training in addition to the holistic teachings of Pilates. Lindberg used to work on Wall Street in corporate finance and investment banking at Morgan Stanley. She did international banking with Citigroup’s Asia Pacific region. She discovered Pilates after enduring tennis injuries, and trained with Lagree himself in Los Angeles last spring. Lindberg has lived in Preston Hollow for 20 years and is active in the Junior League, Preston Hollow Women’s Club and children’s organizations.

Undeveloped land south of NorthPark to become senior housing

Buckner International has acquired the three-acre tract of undeveloped land on the southwest corner of Northwest Highway and Central Expressway with plans to build senior housing. The nonprofit Christian ministry runs other senior communities and orphanages in the Dallas area. The land, located just south of NorthPark Center, is the last remnant of the old Caruth family farm, settled in the 1800s.

Community

Forty-four Preston Hollow girls received the Gold Award from the Girl Scouts of Northeast Texas. It’s the highest award earned by high school Girl Scouts, comparable to the Eagle Scout award in Boy Scouts. To earn the Gold Award, girls must find an issue they’re passionate about, execute projects and fundraising events related to the cause and recruit others to take action. You can find full list of our neighborhood girls who received the award at prestonhollow.advocatemag.com if you search “Gold Award.”

Preston Hollow resident Leslie Ezelle won HGTV “Design Star: All Stars.” As winner she’ll make another TV appearance that has yet to be announced.

Another part of the money went toward lingering breast cancer bills.
