Our Friends Across the Pond Think Dallas Real Estate is Hot. They Are Spot On, Sort of

Mt Vernon classic

The Brits are singing the praises of our real estate market. The Financial Times has singled us out, thanks to the Brookings Metropolitan Policy Program, which says (and I saw this recently) that Dallas and “nearby” Fort Worth:

Friday Five Hundred: An Epic Trip in The Wayback Machine, Minus The Shag Carpeting

Flipping through the photos of 6441 McCommas Blvd. makes me hum Steppenwolf’s “Magic Carpet Ride” completely by reflex.

Note to self: Put “Dazed And Confused” on my Netflix queue.

The interior of this 1975 Spanish style in Bob-O-Link estates is so incredibly well-preserved, right down to the foiled wallpaper and wood paneling. And boy, is there a lot of wood paneling. Like, two stories of wood paneling and then some. Continue reading
