Drop in, chill out, wind down, catch up at this month’s Happy Hour from 6:30 to 8 p.m. on March 26. Ted Thomas and Mary Maddox will welcome us to their home at 1611 Hollywood Ave. They’ll provide the beer and wine, you provide the fun. If you prefer a concoction of your own making, bring [...]

pick-up update

Good news, Hampton Hillers: Crews may finally get around to moving the mountains of brush, branches and limbs you’ve left at the curb. So far, crews have collected 13,500 tons of debris from the Feb. 11 snowfall. They’re working six days a week, moving about 700 tons per day. The Sanitation Services Department says the brush [...]

pick-up problems

If you’re in need of a gray trash container or a blue recyclable container, you must call 311 and make a request. Don’t rely on your neighbors to request one for you. Each individual resident must make his or her own request. Also, if your trash/recyclables were not picked up, call 311 and request a pick-up. [...]

yard of the month

Congratulations to Tony Medaris, whose beautiful home at 1606 Montreal Ave. received the Yard of the Month for March. It’s hard to maintain a beautiful yard throughout the winter, but Tony has managed to do so. If you haven’t made your way to his area of Montreal Avenue, you owe it to yourself to drive or [...]

a second chance

If your trash or recyclables weren’t picked up today because you had your carts in the wrong place, don’t fret. Call 311. Mary Nix, Dallas’ director of Sanitation Services, says trucks will swing by tomorrow. For the next couple of weeks, the City is giving everyone a second chance [...]

good news about odd fellows

Good Neighbor Phil Leven checked out the special use permit issued to Odd Fellows Hall at 1808 S. Hampton Road back in the 1970s. As it turns out, the only possible uses for the building would be another Odd Fellows Hall or “a great little church.” The bottom line: We don’t have to worry about having [...]

some bolsa swag

Dallas meets Austin at Bolsa, a bar and café with a shop that sells wine and local products. Housed in a hip redo of an old auto garage near the Bishop Arts District, Bolsa blends fresh ingredients with rustic flavors in an eclectic ambience. Attendees at the HHNA monthly meeting in March will have a chance [...]

a good time had by all

The first HHNA Happy Hour was a great success! About 20 residents gathered at the home of Cliff and Jon Garinn to enjoy libations from mixologist Cliff, lively conversation and lots of laughs. It was a perfect way to end the work week and the month. Next month’s event will be hosted by Mary Maddox and [...]

response from the sanitation department

Mr. Garinn:

As follow-up to our phone conversation today, please be advised that the collection point for the 1300 and 1400 blocks for Hollywood will be collected in the alley. We will notify each affected customer on Monday, March 1 that both recycling and refuse will be collected in the alley. Just in time for their OneDAY [...]

president's letter to delia jasso

Dear Councilmember Jasso,

As president of the Hampton Hills Neighborhood Association, I have heard from many residents who are unhappy with the decision to move their trash pickup from the alley to the curb. They can’t understand why this should have to happen, especially since they have enjoyed alley pickup for many years. If the carts take [...]
