M Streets in the House
Nov 1st, 2006 by admin
It’s so funny, the neighborhood we lived in Dallas was called the M Streets, but tucked into these streets was one that stood alone; Kenwood.
Why would city planners put a K street in the middle of the M Streets? Not being from Dallas, when hubby and I started looking for houses, we didn’t realize that it was a big deal to live on an actual M street, not a K street in the middle of all these M’s. People on the M Streets had freakin bumper stickers that looked like those Euro-stickers with the country code on them, but they simply had a M on it. So, feeling like the drama/band/goth/math club outsiders, we started calling ourselves the M-ish street crew. But like a lot of outsiders, we were never organized enough to get a bumper sticker.
I went back to Big D this weekend to meet up with the girls to start shopping for Carey’s wedding dress. Do you want a peek?
Ha! Ha! Too bad. This is all you’ll get.
But if you go to Dallas and you’re staying in the Uptown/Highland Park/Ross Avenue area, here’s the places I recommend:
- Gloria’s on Greenville Ave
- Cafe Izmir on Greenville
- Mi Conzuelas on Main
- Bread Winners on Hall
- Times Ten on Skillman
- Aw Shucks on Greenville
- Luby’s on Mockingbird
- Campisi’s on Mockingbird
- Central Market on Lovers
- Cafe Brazil on Central Expressway
Here we are at Times Ten:

Unfortunately I was in Plano, the land of Applebee’s & IHOP. Never really saw anything of Dallas apart from the airport, which was half the size of Texas. Man!
You know, I’ve only been to Plano a hand full of times. Believe it or not, there’s one cool pocket in D-Town.
