I just have to set the record straight: that huge house on Northwest Highway is NOT being built by President and Mrs. Bush. Here’s the story from Frontburner. (Owner is Tom Dundon.)I have more details on the home as I have been in it with the builder, Mark Molthan. (Some of the pics on his website are from the house.) This joint will give total new meaning to the phrase “over-the-top”: there will be a gymnasium, electronic batting cage, dance studio, swim park, putting green, go-cart track, stocked lake, even a slide from the second floor to the first floor family room Traildust style. Stay tuned to a future issue of D Home — we’ve got the whole story sewn up for you. As far as Bluffview, I do know that calls have been made by the President’s agent here in town asking several people if they might consider selling, and a handful of those calls have have been made to Bluffview homes. Finally, I was told by one of Laura’s relatives (off record so cannot reveal name) that whatever they buy in Dallas will be very, very low key. “You know how cheap Bushie is,” she told her relative.
“You know how cheap Bushie is” — Maybe. When spending HIS OWN money.
what? you didn’t like your “economic stimulus” check? Didn’t you go stimulate the economy (the economy could use a little stimulating)? or use that check to offset the decline in value of your home / pay the increase in DCAD’s assessed taxable value of your humble abode? I know I used mine for investment purposes…yeah…
I’d like to know what “low key” means for a former President–because moving from the White House to pretty much anything else (short of say the Dallas White House on Strait or into what could have been the Chateau De Triomphe farther down the road) is going to strike the average tax payer as “low key.”
