HOME PRICES IN PRESTON HOLLOW CONTINUE TO RISE, DALLAS’ HOUSING INVENTORY KEEPS SHRINKING Story by CHRISTINA HUGHES BABB | Photography by MATT JONES
THE MONTHLY HOUSING REPORT from Zillow, which covers February, shows a national market drastically changed from two years ago, with the number of homes for sale down by half, prices higher by onethird and rising, and rents hundreds of dollars more a month. In Dallas, the typical home is $361,270, up 39.6% since 2020 and up 2.4% month over month. It’s a little above the national average which is $331,533. Our area’s inventory dipped in February, breaking with past yearly trends, and now stands at 47.3% below February 2020. Home value appreciation is shooting up; the typical home in Dallas is worth 39.6% more than in 2020. And rent prices are accelerating too — average rents in February hit $1,699, up 21.4% since February 2020. The national average rent is $1,883. Lack of inventory is driving these historic price hikes. “A wave of millennial and baby boomer buyers have depleted housing inventory that was never really replenished following the Great Recession,” says Zillow

economist Nicole Bachaud. Looking ahead, Zillow economists expect annual home value growth to continue to accelerate through the spring, peaking in May before gradually slowing by February 2023. Strong demand finds that the houses that do get listed in the Dallas metro area are scooped up in just 16 days. At a national level, more homes transacted last month than in either February 2019 or February 2020, though sales are lower than in 2021, Zillow reports.
PRESTON HOLLOW-AREA HOME VALUE INDEX FOR FEBRUARY FOR MIDDLE-PRICE TIER OF HOMES: 75230: $796,262, up 18.5% over the past year. 75220: $443,695, up 19.2% over the past year. 75225: $1,556,265, up 18.5% over the past year.

30 years of neighborhood news
Y
ears ago, an employee described Advocate Media best: “So many dreams. So few people.”
Thirty years ago this month, we began with a simple goal: Help make life in Dallas more like life in a small town. Connect neighbors. Build friendships. Support local businesses. From the beginning, — regardless of race, economics or politics — if you read an Advocate, you’re a neighbor. To achieve that goal, then as now, we make our publications free to everyone. If we can help neighbors feel like a part of our neighborhood — particularly if work or family issues keep you from attending meetings or meeting the people next door — we’re doing something good. Originally, we decided the best way to accomplish this goal was to ask neighborhood businesses to help pay the cost of distributing our print publications. Businesses bought affordable advertisements, and we told their story to 180,000+ neighbors, hoping that readers realize many of the things we need are just down the street. Our first publications were tabloid black-and-white newspapers hung on doors. Over the years, we switched to a magazine format with glossy paper and colorful neighborhood news and photography — always created by and for neighbors. Then the internet allowed us reach more people more frequently as we added neighborhood websites with daily neighborhood news updates. Then we added social media sites and weekly email newsletters. At some point in the daily smallbusiness grind, we started facilitating more than 1 million engagements
monthly among neighbors. One thing about our business never changed. Although we’ve always been a “for-profit” entity, the “profits” didn’t amount to much compared with the efforts we invested. That’s not a complaint, just the truth. So as we reached our 30th year of neighborhood community service, we talked about how to put us on the right road for the next 30 years. So in 2021, we decided to recognize the reality of the community information business — instead of being marginally “for-profit,” why not reconfigure to be officially “nonprofit”? Becoming a nonprofit better reflects our neighborhood status anyway — we’ve always tried to be a helpful, caring neighbor. Nonprofit status allows us to approach businesses with different sponsorship opportunities, and it allows us to ask readers to help in different ways, even as we continue donating more than $250,000 annually in media space and promotions to neighborhood schools, non-profits and groups. We’ve always leaned on readers for help, and your support is even more important as we begin our nonprofit journey. And while I’ll still be along for the ride, our nonprofit board will be led by publisher Jehadu Abshiro. If you can join us, please do. From selling advertisements to writing stories to donating a few bucks, we need you. Email jabshiro@advocatemag.com or rwamre@advocatemag.com, and we’ll tell you about our plans and our needs. We’ll probably always have more dreams than people. I hope so, anyway. We need to stay idealistic and ambitious if we’re going to make a difference.

renna Elliott’s fascination with history began at Dallas cemeteries. “Somehow, don’t ask me, I don’t know, I got into studying cemeteries — going to cemeteries, filming, taking pictures and making slideshows and putting music to it and then learning about everybody I had just filmed,” she says. She had already retired when she began diving into local history. As a student at Stephen F. Austin State University, she had taken some flying lessons and decided she wanted to be a commercial pilot. But her parents said no. Her first real job was back in Dallas, her hometown, working three years for an edible nut broker whom Elliott says was the first person in the city to have an automobile phone. There, she learned about sales and marketing and how to deal with everyone from a businessperson in New York City to a farmer in San Saba. By then it was the late ’70s, and Elliott relocated to Houston. She was hired at an employee-placement firm, M. David Lowe, where she worked for two years. “I learned the most outstanding basics of recruiting and headhunting, the most honorable and the way it should be,” Elliott says. But she really missed Dallas, so she moved back. With support in the form of a $6,000 loan from her father, she opened her own firm, Lusk & Associates. Her client list included Trammell Crow and Raymond Nasher, who was also the landlord of her office, which was located in NorthPark Center. Later, Elliott opened a temporary division, “which can turn you into a serial killer overnight,” she says, because of the intense pressure to fill spots on short notice with quality candidates that would fit a company’s needs. She had the same employees during the 25-year run of her company. Then she joined a friend and started a retain-search business called SearchScience. Part of the appeal was that she would be paid a retainer up front; she had been working on commission since she was 28 years old. For the last seven or eight years of her career, she was doing about four deals a year in the retain-search industry, mostly finding candidates for the C-suite positions. Then she retired and began studying cemeteries all across Dallas. Once, she was even chased by three doberman pinschers in one in South Dallas. Cemeteries got her hooked on history, and she started getting acquainted with neighbors who had a breadth of knowledge on the subject. Having grown up in Dallas, Elliott already had a feel for the city. She spent her middle- and high-school years on Princess Lane in Sparkman Estates.
“It was stable and a good place to hang around and lay in the grass in people’s yard and play games,” she says of the neighborhood. Elliott joined the Dallas History Facebook group and met Debby Massie Lacy, the group’s founder who became Elliott’s mentor. After Lacy died, Elliott didn’t immediately create her own history group. But she was at the car wash one day, and “Live and Let Die” started playing on the speaker. Lacy was a huge fan of the Beatles, and hearing that song gave Elliott the confidence she needed to establish her own group. She founded Dallas History Guild in 2015 with the goal to educate, preserve and discover. It now has 11,000 members. She hopes to one day have a brickand-mortar museum. “I formed Dallas History Guild because I wanted to be a voice when I have a petition going for something that’s being destroyed that I can take before the Landmark Commission, or somebody can, and push that forward,” Elliott says. Until the pandemic started, the guild also hosted events. Once, they visited the Dallas Police Department Museum and then were loaded in paddy wagons to go to the Mounted Unit in Fair Park. “We’re not a memories group. We’re not a shoutout group,” Elliott says. “It’s like you’re in a classroom but you’ve got a good professor and you’re having lots of fun.” In 2018, Elliott, a graduate of Thomas Jefferson High School, was appointed to the Dallas Historical Commission by Judge Clay Jenkins, and she served a two-year term. During that time, she was part of the effort to approve historical markers for Little Egypt and Martyr’s Park. Over the years, she’s met some of Dallas’ most notable movers and shakers. She interviewed the widow of Henry Beck of The Beck Group, a construction and architectural firm. She attended a family reunion of the Buhrer family, dairy farmers whose land was in East Dallas. Elliott has also interviewed members of the Goforth family. The City of Dallas acquired more than 400 acres of land from them during construction of White Rock Lake. Elliott has known Teresa Goforth since elementary school and also interviewed her father, David. And she became friends with Beverly Heart, who had ties to Casa Linda Plaza and Estates. It was developed by her father, Howard Brown, who was following the vision of her grandfather, Carl Martin Brown. “We’ve got to continue the awareness,” Elliott says. “And it’s not what you remember that, for us, is critical. It’s the history.”

ARIA FRESCA, CIBO FRESCO Eataly’s Terra is all about local, seasonal, traditional ingredients Story by JEHADU ABSHIRO | Photography by JESSICA TURNER
FROM THE SEASONAL MENU TO THE DECOR’S WARM WOODS, HANGING PLANTS AND STONE-LAID WALLS, TERRA IS SIMP LY E A RT H Y. “Terra is really a chef ’s dream restaurant,” Executive Chef of Eataly Dallas Jake Epstein's says. “It’s a beautiful space, large, so you can have a lot of play on the menu we have.” Eataly's Terra, the rooftop restaurant focused on seasonal ingredients, wood-fired grilling and a tradi-
tional four-course, serves a cornucopia of Italian cuisine. Almost every item on the menu includes smoked elements using hickory or oak. The herbs, vegetables and meats hang over the grill. The concept is high-quality ingredients cooked simply — lightly charred Texas quail, smoked ribeyes from local ranches or vegetables grilled for hours before being turned into a puree. The rotating menu was developed as a four-course meal broken up into antipasta, spiedini (grilled and

skewered), fresh pasta from the market downstairs and woodfired entrees featuring pork chops, wagyu, halibut and a three-day brined chicken. “Whatever’s seasonal, whatever’s local, whatever is a tradition from Italy, that’s what we want to bring here as well,” Epstein says. “The mixture of those three things makes Terra what it is. Mastering those three things and really understanding where everything fits is what we continue to try to do.” The mild, sometimes rainy winters and hot, usually dry summers of both Texas and Italy provide similar produce, allowing the restaurant to develop a traditional Italian menu. For instance, Caprese salads and tomato burrata make an appearance only during the summer to utilize the fresh tomatoes, but for fall, the burrata uses squash. “And really, I got to play with seasonality and local ingredients, which is my bread and butter,” Epstein says. Epstein, 29, worked at Craft Los Angeles, a restaurant known for using seasonal and local ingredients, for several years. After a brief stint running fried-chicken restaurant Birdies, Epstein got a call to work at Craft in New York City as a sous chef. He eventually made his way to three-Michelin star Eleven Madison Park. Then he got another call. This time from Eataly Flatiron. “A lot of their manifesto really connected with my farmto-table background at Craft,” he says. He s t a r t e d a s s o u s c h e f manager, overseeing projects around the flagship location before becoming chef de cuisine at rooftop restaurant Serra, where he overhauled the menu and brought in a new staff.

tually became executive sous chef just as the coronavirus slowed the restaurant business and as Eataly Dallas prepared to open. Then another call. The second floor La Pizza & La Pasta needed to be developed. After completing that project, he moved on to Terra. “It was very fun to use all this information that I have gained these years at a completely new environment with all of the bells and whistles that you could really want in a restaurant,” Ep-

stein says. “And I love the process of openings.” Epstein got his start after school in his own kitchen, making whatever he could find in the fridge. “And it turned into really like a fiveday-a-week thing that I was doing, and going to school was never really my thing,” he says. “Just kind of popped into my head that this is something that I love doing that I wanted to pursue.” The original Iron Chef, from Japan, was a favorite show.

father was a restaurateur in Los Angeles, and he’d go out to eat with that family. His first restaurant job was at a Fresh Brothers Pizza, a quick-service Chicago-style restaurant. “It just became very much of like an embedded passion that I had,” Epstein says. After working at full-service Pici Enoteca in Beverly Hills, he applied to the Culinary Institute of America in New York. “Probably one of the highlights of my life,” Epstein says. “And I learned more there in two years about what it means to be a chef and how wide that spectrum really is. It’s not just about cooking. It’s not just about being a good manager. But it’s also about being guest-focused.”

Brunch, which is not inherently Italian, features a colazione completa, a four-part meal of a shakshuka-style egg dish, fresh bread with butter and apricot jam, moka pot espresso, and meat and fingerling potatoes. “With everything that’s simple with Italian food, it’s about the quality of ingredients that you use,” Epstein says. “You can’t really make a bad decision here.” Terra, 8687 N.

Crystal Wilson spends hours each weekend working on the mural on Forest Lane, which spans 2,000 feet.
MURAL MURAL ON THE WALL A Forest Lane landmark since 1976
Story by RENEE UMSTED | Photography by CORRIE AUNE
IN THE 1960S, the road to cruise down was Forest Lane. Hundreds of people would show up on Friday and Saturday nights to drive the strip, which was separated from a residential neighborhood by a graffiti-plastered brick wall. W.T. White High School art teacher Mary Beth Neale wanted to do something about it. She went to the City and was granted the proper permits to paint a mural on the wall. Senior art students from W.T. White’s

class of 1976 drew the original graphics that would be painted, among them a sun, an eagle and a car. The drawings were enlarged, projected onto the wall and traced, and the art students told volunteers which colors to use. Phillips rode the bus from W.T. White to the wall every day after school to help paint, along with about 30 other people. “We had the best time of our life doing something that has been a wonderful exhibit of our time,” she says.
APRIL 2022
It took be tween three and four months to finish the 2,000-foot mural, and after nearly 50 years, the paintings can still be seen. But it hasn’t come without countless hours of restoration. The first major work came in the ’90s, when one woman spent years painting the entire mural to bring vibrancy back to the faded colors. Then in 2011, a car crashed into the wall and left a dent, and someone painted the word “goof ” over it.
Brent Herling, who was at W.T. White when the mural was originally done, has been keeping an eye on it for decades. Anytime he notices graffiti — “goof ” included — he removes it. In this case, Herling used SpongeBob Squarepants to cover it up. He intended it to be temporary, but some alumni were upset over it because they thought it took away from the 1976 graphics. Herling removed SpongeBob months after he painted it. Then in 2014, some homeowners were pushing to paint the whole wall beige. Herling, who lives just a couple blocks west of the wall, wouldn’t stand for it. “I told them pretty flat out, ‘You’re not going to paint this wall beige. It means too much to people,’” he says. With neighborhood support, he restored the paintings. A portion of the wall was damaged in 2015 when a truck ran into it. Herling was ready with paint and volunteers to redo the picture of a cave opening. It’s not just people who were there to see the wall get painted in the first place. Crystal Wilson moved to Dallas from out of state almost six years ago. She lives just around the corner from the mural and drives down Forest Lane on her way to the pet store. “I would see the wall, and I would think, ‘Oh my gosh, I love this wall, but it’s in really bad shape,’” she says. She contacted Herling and did her first restorations of the wall about two years ago. Wilson doesn’t have professional experience as an artist, but her grandmother and aunt did, and making art was something they did when Wilson would visit them. For the first six or eight months she was working on the mural, she bought paint from Lowe’s and received a discount. But eventually, the store stopped extending the offer, which meant she was paying around $33 per bucket. At one point, she asked neighbors for a donation, and she received about $400. But she says she doesn’t really like asking for money. Wilson, 58, spends 8-10 hours every weekend working on restoring the mural, and she even used her vacation time during the pandemic to work on it, taking a break from her job in finance at a software company. Neighbors have warmed up to Wilson taking on the project, but at first, she was receiving some pushback. It subsided when she convinced people — especially the ones who were there in 1976 — that she was focused on keeping the design and colors original, not trying to make any changes. “Because of the efforts that were done painting the wall to get rid of all the graffiti, it was the first time I’ve ever seen that proved you could use art to get rid of such a nasty thing,” Herling says. “And pretty much, people didn’t mess with it. It stayed in its beautified state.”

Where the Sidewalk Ends THE CITY HELPS PAY FOR SIDEWALK AND DRIVEWAY REPAIRS Story by RENEE UMSTED | Illustration by JESSICA TURNER
SIDEWALKS ARE THE EYEBROWS OF THE STREET: They go unnoticed until they’re not there. Though they may seem commonplace, sidewalks can play important roles. For example, they improve safety for pedestrians and promote eco-friendly modes of transportation, like walking or biking. So when there’s a lack of sidewalks, or they’re not connected or level, people might be nudged to use a car. According to a 2021 survey, part of the Connect Dallas plan, 34% of respondents reported they often travel by walking, and 72% of respondents said they wanted to rely more on walking as a way to get around. One of the top two reasons why people said they didn’t walk more was because sidewalks aren’t connected. Last year, a study commissioned by the City of Dallas found that the cost of repairing half the existing defective sidewalks and filling the gaps was $2 billion.
At the time, Dallas had more than 4,500 miles of sidewalks, including 195 in City Council District 11 and 276 in City Council District 13. District 11 had the fewest miles of sidewalks of all districts. Also included in the City’s inventory was a count of missing sidewalks; it amounted to about 2,000 miles across all Council districts, with 146 in District 11 and 330 in District 13, which had the most missing sidewalks of all districts. The City leaves it to homeowners to replace sidewalks and driveways when they become problematic. It’s in the City Code. “When a sidewalk, driveway or any appurtenance to a sidewalk or driveway becomes defective, unsafe or hazardous, the abutting property owner shall reconstruct or repair the sidewalk, driveway or appurtenance,” according to section 43-63. “And the expense of such work must be borne by the abutting property owner.” In 1985, the City Council approved
APRIL 2022
a resolution to establish the replacement of curbs, gutters, sidewalks and drive approaches on a cost-participation basis. The program is called the Sidewalk Replacement Program, and it is available to all single-family residences, including townhomes and condominiums. A spokesperson for the City of Dallas told The Advocate that 11,860 residents have taken advantage of this program. Neighbors pay for the drive approach removal and replacement. But for existing sidewalk removal and replacement, the City splits the cost with neighbors 50-50. It’s up to the City to procure any needed permits, and there’s a one-year warranty on workmanship. It takes about two or three months for the City to take a look at a property and provide a quote. After neighbors pay, the project could be completed in as little as three months or as much as nine, depending on demand. To take advantage of the program, call 214.948.4127 or 214.948.4287.

In The Old Days GROWING UP HERE IN THE MID-20TH CENTURY
Compiled by RENEE UMSTED
Homes in Preston Hollow
have changed over the decades. Some older, smaller houses are being sold, torn down and replaced with modern structures that span the whole lot. But some remain. As residents move and the environment shifts, it’s helpful to know what the neighborhood used to look and be like. Here are some descriptions straight from people who lived there.

Prestonshire Lane Georgann “Gee” Finberg Lieb moved to Preston Hollow from Highland Park in 1951, when she was 4 years old. From the house they built on Prestonshire Lane, Lieb says she could almost see to Hillcrest and Walnut Hill because there were so few homes. By the time she was a student at Preston Hollow Elementary, the population of the neighborhood had grown, and there were houses on every lot. Her house was pretty typical for the time and area, she says. It was a one-story house with four bedrooms,
three bathrooms, a large backyard with patio and a fenced area for their dog. There were cosmetic variations among the nearby homes, with different bricks and colors, but structurally, they were all about the same. Lieb’s family also employed a maid, who had a oneroom annex with a kitchenette by the garage. They sold the house after Lieb’s father died in 1976, but it still stands. “It doesn’t look a lot different, although the landscaping is definitely different and the color of the brick is different,” she says. “Otherwise, it looks a lot the same.”

ACCESSIBLE TEXTILES HOW A DALLAS COMPANY CONNECTS SMALL RETAILERS TO INDIA Story by RACHEL STONE | Photography by EMIL LIPPE
ANYONE WHO’S BOUGHT B E D D I N G f r o m Wa l m a r t , Ta r ge t, Kohl ’s, Costco or Belk most likely has touched Preston Hollow resident Arun Agar wal’s business Nextt USA . "Every two seconds a sheet set supplied by the company is sold,” according to marketing materials. A ga r w a l ’s n e w v e n t u r e , E x p o Bazaar USA, connects wholesalers and makers in India with small-business retailers in the United States. Expo Bazaar USA launched in March and is a technology and logistics company connecting Nextt USA with Expo Digital India, the trade center Agar wal started with R a ke s h Ku m a r a n d D i l e e p B a i d in India. The idea to make Indian exports easily available to small retailers had been rolling around in Agarwal’s head for years before he decided to make it a reality after the pandemic started. T h e n e w c o m p a ny e m p l o y s a p r o prietar y technolog y platform where retailers can order goods online, but it’s not just a jumble. All the products are curated for the American market by some of the same buyers who procure goods for big retailers via Nextt USA. “We hired a very sophisticated merchant team who works with the sourcing team in India,” Agarwal says. They also do photography, set design and digital storytelling to market the products for American buyers.
T he foc us on independent r etailers here and manufac turers in India benefits small businesses in b oth pl aces. The platform “will give single-point access of unprecedented s c a l e t o In d i a n s e l l e r s a n d U. S . b u s i n e s s b u ye r s ,” a c c o r d i n g t o a media r el ease. “It’s a digital marketplace that’s supported by brick-and-mortar on b oth ends,” Agar wal says. In Dallas, the company is headquar tered in the Design Dis tric t, where Nextt USA has been located since its founding in 2004. T he Agar wal s moved to Preston Hollow several years ago when their daughter, who is n o w i n c o l l e g e , e n r o l l e d a t Ur s u l i n e Academy. “ We a r e o p e n i n g d o o r s t o t h e magnificent diversity of India and ar e cr eating a c urated col l ec tio n of distinc tly Indian merchandise. We are also opening another door to wel come b usiness fr om acr o ss Amer ica, pr oviding access to t he diver sity of Indian pr oduc ts an d heritage. With manufacturers working closely with ar tisans, we wil l b e showcasing a massive assor tment of produc ts across multiple categories and sub-categories i n t h i s s e g m e n t ,” A g a r w a l s a y s . “ We a r e d e d i c a t e d t o c r e a t i n g a social, c ultural and financial impact on the lives of artisans, small manufacturers and suppliers from India and building this robust supply chain network empowering independent U.S. r e tail er s.”

I n n e r w i sd o m I f we co u l d s h a re w h a t we n ow k n ow
I
was checking email the othe r d ay w h e n a s e n d e r n ame c a u g ht my att en tion : “Note t o s elf.” N a t u r a l l y, I t h o u g h t i t w a s a spam email. But, the subjec t line re vealed it was an email from my email account because I happened to be included on the listser ve. I’m grate ful for Microsof t 365 for its i nt e nt i on a l w or d i n g. It’s caused me to ponder, what would I say if I were to send a note to myself ? What would 25-year-old Matthe w implore me to remember and not give up on? What would 90 (presumptive I k n o w ) - y e a r - o l d Ma tt h e w a d v i s e o n t h e s t at e o f t h e w o r l d ? W h at might he sug ges t I hold onto and cherish? What would your note to y o urs elf s ay ? I t ’s a n i n t e r e s t i n g t h o u g h t e xperiment to e xplore. T he truth is, I think we carr y wisdom within t h at we o f t e n d o n’ t g i ve w i t n e s s t o . S o , i f we wer e t o write a n ote t o o ur s elve s , I t h i n k we may ju s t come to discover that the notes that would be most impactful and significant to our presentday selves would be filled with wisdom and freedom to trust what we know to be true in our present l i ve s . One of my favorite singers o n g w r i t e r s , B e n R e c t o r, h a s a s o ng en t i t l ed “ Not e to S e lf.” His lyrics reveal the wisdom path found throughout our ordinary e ve r yd ay li ves . “Note to self, don’ t le t yourself worry quite as much; it’ ll end

prestonhollow.advocatemag.com
u p fin e e nough; it al ways has up u n t i l n o w. S o m e t h i n’ e l s e , y o u should think of other people a little mor e; y ou shoul da thought of that before. One more thing, call your mother back, talk for too l o n g ; i t ’s p r o b a b l y h a l f o f w h a t s h e ’d like; she’s the onl y mother that you have. Maybe one day, I’ ll f i g u r e o u t y o u d o n’ t f i n d p e a c e until you love somebody else. Note to s e lf.”
What might he suggest I hold onto and cherish? What would your note to yourself say? Should we never get around to writing such a note, may we u s e Be n’s wor ds as a guide. For I be lie ve the y wil l not onl y or ient us to the holiness found in the e v e r y d ay, b u t t h e y w i l l p o i n t u s toward s the path of wisdom. REV.
