DFW Around Town posted details six hours ago. (I am so competitive!) But what I am really wondering — what is that Tatum Brown homebuilders sign (tan colored) all about? My fingers are walking right over to my cell phone… could it be that construction will begin on a new Bush abode once the gate goes up? Or is this a spec home (Tatum Brown are master home builders; you will note most of their inventory is SOLD) sure to sell like hotcakes on the Darias…  dialing, ringing, hi, may I please speak with Mark Danuser?

Bushgate. Again. So says Zac Crain, but my question is this: how long does it take to build a darn tootin’ gate?

But what I want to know: if the Bushes don’t have any furniture, what was in those moving vans?

Like when I heard that the Bushes are looking at a re-design of the gate they ordered for Daria Drive — seems the first design priced out too high, and since they are footing the bill for the gate (which is so nice of them!) they wanted to go back for something a little less simpler. Tell you what, I’ll bet they are just shocked by how high building prices are.

Also heard there may be flying restrictions in force over the house.

Contenders for the next season of The Bachelor? (Can you imagine a DPD officer handing off a rose to a group of tearful, tense ladies?) The DPD declined to tell me if they would be staked out 24/7 at the entrance to Daria Drive off Meaders Lane until the gate is erected, for security reasons, of course. When asked if I could drive into the cul de sac(s), they said not unless I had business there.Also: the one officer I chatted up said all the neighbors were happy with the extra police protection — not one complaint.

The entire street is now blocked off by police. Earlier today, a Mayflower moving van was spotted coming into the cul de sac along with a large storage truck.
