Welcome to Six Blocks from my house.   

Six Blocks from my house is something new for 2014. Each week or two I’ll highlight a few things going on only six blocks (or so) from my house. Maybe a new place, an event, a person, who knows?  

East Dallas is funky and fabulous and filled with unique history. I plan to show it off.

There’s also disparity between the haves and have nots. The hidden, disregarded and not-so-clean-and-tidy will sometimes be included. That’s part of our neighborhood too.

    I love this idea! I’m gonna have to check out some more of the local stuff here in Bowie and wrote about it! I’ve already got a couple of ideas in mind 🙂
