To wrap up the week, here’s a look back at some recent East Dallas news nuggets from around the web:
- Robert Wilonsky wrote a story for the DMN about 111-year-old Davy Crockett School on Carroll Avenue. Years ago, the school was sold to Ken Good, who promised to renovate the building. Now Good is trying to sell or lease the 50,000-square-foot structure that holds designation as a Dallas landmark. Read more.
- There have been more driveway robberies recently, but police say they aren’t sure whether or not the latest incidents are related to the previous dozen. The DMN reported today that the “Dallas police confirmed late Thursday that two people were in custody” for driveway-style robberies. Read more.
- The Dallas Morning News Charities fundraising campaign raised more than $1.6 million for local DFW nonprofits, and a portion of the proceeds benefit charities serving the East Dallas community, including White Rock Center for Hope off Garland, Family Gateway near downtown, Austin Street Center and others. This is the 14th year the charities raised more than $1 million, and the first year to receive a single donation of $500,000 – the largest gift in the campaign’s 28-year history — according to a press release.
