The story about a new home constructed by Sharif-Munir on Hollow Way Drive at the intersection of Walnut Hill Lane ran in Preston Hollow People last week, shortly after the home sold. A handful of neighbors had complained about all the charity parties and other events held at the home, calling them a real nuisance. Let me tell you — I lived in that ‘hood for ten years and valet parties are a normal part of life there. When the Lacerte family celebrated their new U.S. citizenship, they even had fireworks! Granted, they have 9 acres. But that is my point. Most of those lots are at least an acre. And while it may be against city law or rules to build a model home in established neighborhoods, there are more spec houses in Dallas than squirrels. And to move these spec houses, builders are throwing party after party — in fact, I was at a party one block from Mickey’s home on Falls Rd. last Thursday. We had wine, food, it was a “builder’s party”! Also, one of the most beloved and established neighbors in that ‘hood runs classes from her home that my children attended. What do these folks want to live in, a morgue? And PS, I was wrong about Mickey’s home in my last post. It’s a spec home, not model.
Well, while I appreciate the homeowners not liking all the traffic from the Charity Parties, i must remind them that most don’t want to walk even 1 cars length let alone a block and without Valet and the great job they do, the charities would suffer.
