Lakewood Advocate

August 23, 2012 By Talya Tate Boerner

Yes! That’s my Lucy on the cover…. (July 2010)
I will soon be blogging for the Lakewood/East Dallas Advocate! The Advocate has been a local news source for Dallas neighborhoods for 20 years with a monthly magazine, daily website and social media covering dining, schools, business, history, nonprofits, development and stories of interesting people.
My weekly or bi-monthly pieces will feature neighborhood history mixed with my personal experiences.
I hope you will read, follow, like, share, tweet, comment, pin,  and/or digg my blog posts:)  Even if you don’t live in East Dallas….

Thanks!
