Sorry for the late notice - but it's something you don't want to miss (or at the very least, you'll want to know why all you neighbors are outside partying). Tonight is National Night Out for many Dallas neighborhoods. What is National Night Out, you ask ... it's a big block party and, officially, "an annual celebration to say 'goodbye' to crime and drugs in the community."
I know the L Streets area is planning a party. Neighbors will meet at the end of the 10400 block of Lanshire for a big block party until dark (at which time mosquitoes will commence to eat you alive). This is a great chance to meet those new neighbors.
I don't know how and if all of the LH hoods are celebrating tonight, so I just mentioned my neighborhood. But please use the comment section here to let us know about your neighborhood's plans. You can also send me your photos and you might wind up in the "Scene & Heard" section of an upcoming issue of Advocate.
I wish our neighborhood's Night Out was in October, instead of the insane month of August when it's a billion degrees out. But our National Night Out is a victim of its own success - it's much too big a production to move to October.
