I think Omar is relishing in the news that he can finally get his apartment in Farmers Branch.

Candy,
I’m curious why you keep writing up the Harris family and the Pit Bulls. You keep posting the Harris address so I thought it should be fair using our public info for everyone to see where you live.
It shows you live a good 1/2 mile from the Harris home, (and that is almost as the crow flys), yet you write these blogs as if you lived next door and were one of the victims. From all accounts that I have heard is the attacks happened on the Harris property, or a yard or two at most from the Harris home. You have created this fear in the neighborhood that these dogs are running up and down the streets attacking at random, and the attacks are happening all over the neighborhood.
W. Ricks Circle is on the other side of Northhaven, hardly the same neighborhood as the Harris home. The W. Ricks Circle homeowners are proud to be a neighborhood inside a neighborhood, and want little if anything to do with “neighbors” not living on or in Ricks Circle. You all have your own crime alert number just for the two or three streets that are in Ricks Circle. I know that Ricks Circle little association did not want to join up with neighboring crime watch associations during last years crime spree, because you all already have a paid police program that drives through your area. (A patrol you can set your watch to). I guess when you have a +$2 million home, you need that special service eh?
I now see why you have this ivory tower, bored housewife attitude. You have nothing better to do, than moan and groan about things that don’t effect you. You have chosen to complain loud and proud and be the champion for the “hood”. A “hood” that doesn’t apply to you.
I’ll be curious when you get that $500k home just for your husbands trophies. I guess the little condo you have off Averill isn’t big enough to hold them all?
Candy Evans@ May 29th, 2008 at 10:16 am
Wow. You got me. (Ouch!) I am just a bored little housewife plunking away at a keyboard from her Ivory Tower Dream House. The Averill Way condo belonged to my late mother, who died recently, thank you. For the record, I wrote up the Harris family as a factual news report. When more than 100 people turned up at a hearing for the THIRD biting incident, it was newsworthy. Channels 11, 5 and 8 were in our ‘hood for days. (This is, after all, my bored housewife job.) For the record, our crime watch includes many streets south of Northaven. For the record, during past year’s crime spree we tried to help other areas launch a crime watch program, which they did successfully. We did not want to “water down” our coverage by adding more homes. We are thrilled they have coverage and will continue to be good neighbors to support their efforts. For the record, we love dogs, have four, and absolutley laud Mr. Harris’ rights to do whatever he wants with his dogs. This is called news, freedom of the press, usually the first thing to go in a dictatorship. Thanks for the transparency —now can anyone help me get rid of squirrels (or some other pests) in my attic?
I counted 86 people at the “hearing” for the Haris dogs. There was not over 100 people at the hearing as reported in the media. (Surprised?)
The house you mention on Averyill shows you owned it since 2003.
The “third biting incident” was not even known about until the day of the hearing. The people who went only knew of two incidents.
Channel 5, 8, and 11, will show up for anything on a slow news day. When you have someone who is a vocal as the “victim” I’m surprised Larry King didn’t show up. Put this same incident(s) in Oak Cliff, and nobody would report it, not even you. Only because it happened in “Preston Hallow” is it laughable news worthiness.
Its not news if you keep distorting the facts and making up accusations that are totally unfounded and posting them. ie. Celebrity Cafe.
I’m curious if the home in the Hampton’s is truly yours, or if you as an editor of the D Magazine blog space are continuing to “report” (lie) about things that are not true. Please stop using the D Mag, as your personal high society chatter box and stick to facts.

Why are there so many “Debbie Downers” commenting on this blog?!?
Drew@ May 30th, 2008 at 9:42 am
I think you’ve just found your ivory tower Barbie dream house owner (Bump).
Positive Penny, I think Debbie Downer has been passing out her bitter pills, obviously.
Candy, I still say good for you. Keep being you and have fun laughing at the bitter sadness of some of these folks. It truly is entertaining to see how ridiculously dumb some of them can be.
Omar@ May 30th, 2008 at 10:29 am
Candy, I’m flattered, I didn’t realize you were ready to move to the next level so soon. You know we have a love-hate relationship. You love me because I bring spice to this boring blog, yet hate me because I also bring rational thought to your emotional scribblings about Pit Bulls. By the way nice crib you got! Here I thought you were Debbie O’Connor the whole time.
I’ll send you some flowers just to get the neighbors all talking! Nothing like a friend with benefits.
Candy Evans@ May 30th, 2008 at 10:30 am
Honey, I’m ready….

So Jack (and others),
are you saying that there is no room for local news (in addition to gossip + juicy rumors) on a blog called “DallasDirt?”
hmmmm…….I do remember the housing market crisis, the credit crunch, and the current state of our country’s debt being covered AND localized right here–not to mention breaking news like Avery Johnson’s condo going on the market. This is a blog, not the New York Times (or Fox News, whichever rag you prefer). Lets try to have a sense of humor…some news mixed with tidbits of fodder and “infotainment.”
DallasDirt is a daily discussion and dissention of the Dallas-Fort Worth real estate market, led by D Home Real Estate Editor Mary Candace Evans with contributions from real estate experts and aficionados. Topics include house porn, hot neighborhoods, hot agents, hip pockets, celebrity listings, second homes, vacation homes, real estate trends, data analysis, tips for buying, selling, or staying put. If DallasDirt were a house, it'd be a three-bedroom, two-and-a-half-bath ranch transitional on a quarter acre lot with stainless kitchen and granite countertops: sophisticated with designer touches, room for expansion. Make an offer.
Meow!

Dog bites man/child = no story
War in Iraq = story
price of gas = story
national debt = story
P.S. Thank God you didn’t post my other house:
