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 [...] 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 [...] Neil Sperry says the best spring-flowering trees for our area are redbuds (“Oklahoma,” “Forest Pansy” and other varieties), Mexican plums and, later in spring, “Little Gem” southern magnolias. “Aristocrat” pear trees have much stronger branching than brittle “Bradfords.” Buy in bloom for [...] The average date of the last killing frost is March 20.

Lids are not typically made of the same plastic as the packaging. And in the recycling business, the two types of plastic can not be mixed. Something about contamination. The lids and caps can jam recycling machinery and containers with lids still on [...] 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 [...] 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 [...] |
