A ‘City Within a City’: Looking back on the hi

A ‘City Within a City’: Looking back on the history of East Dallas’s Casa Linda Plaza: 80 years after it was developed, the plaza continues to be an important fixture in the community. | The Dallas Morning News written by Meagan Hurley
_
Casa Linda, a quiet neighborhood in East Dallas, has been around since before World War II. Developed on farmland bought by Carl M. Brown in the 1920s and 1930s, the neighborhood was considered a rural escape from the city… Even after eight decades of changing hands and redevelopments, the plaza is still a fixture in the East Dallas community.

🎬 The theater was the first major building and one of the most distinctive features of Casa Linda Plaza. Its grand opening was on Aug. 9, 1945, at 7 p.m. with a showing of Joan Fontaine and George Brent in Hal Wallis’ production The Affairs of Susan.

🐎 The Mobil gas station was one of the longest-standing stores in Casa Linda Plaza. The station was known for its red terracotta roof and the Pegasus perched atop the building. The red winged horse was originally displayed at the 1939 World’s Fair in New York before making its way to Dallas.

🍧 Skillern’s Drugstore opened there in 1950 with 10,000 square feet of floor space and a “40-foot combination soda fountain and lunch counter specializing in tasty menus for breakfast, lunch and snacks throughout the day.

🎼 The Dallasan Record Shop at the plaza was its second location, and the store carried “a full line of phonograph records and players in all three speeds, RCA Victor television sets and RCA Victor players, as well as radios, appliances and Hallmark greeting cards.”

“Our places can serve as the canvas for authenti

“Our places can serve as the canvas for authentic connection that is also transformational for the soul—places where we are encouraged to convene around a shared sense of gratitude and purpose. Transformative placemaking is about community building. Yes, increased engagement drives commerce, but EDENS’ ultimate goal and mission is to enrich communities and the businesses who serve them—economically, socially, culturally and soulfully.”

Yoga Hive co-owners Lori Risetto and Rebecca Galla Jones have been yogis and friends for more than 20 years. When pandemic-related restrictions finally began to loosen in Atlanta, they curated fun and healthy outdoor class promotions with other Toco Hills retail partners including @kalemecrazy and @yumbii that measurably drew communities back together to re-engage, renew and rediscover joy.

The majority of Congressional internships are unpa

The majority of Congressional internships are unpaid or low-paid, creating a barrier of entry for students with limited financial means or no political connections.

A political system is only effective when it truly becomes the representative body it was created to be.

@collegetocongress is building a more inclusive and effective Congress by empowering the next generation of public servants with a comprehensive program that levels the playing field for Congressional interns by providing financial support to cover their costs and needs while living and working in DC, in addition to mentorship and leadership training.

Welcome to DC, Brianna Stonick, the EDENS-sponsored College to Congress summer intern. A recent graduate of Boston College, starting today, Brianna will be working in the office of U.S. Senator Chris Murphy of Connecticut. Excited to pursue a career in service, she wants to work to make the world a more equitable place, and ultimately work for the U.S. Department of State. We wish success and empowerment to the entire 2021 cohort as you take this exciting next step!

🍸 🍹 🍧 It's five o'clock somewhere and @Esquire has named our retail partners, @noble_riot in @rinoartdistrict and @serenatadc at @lacosechadc, in their 27 Best Bars in America, 2021 List — we couldn't be more proud!
Wherever you are, grab a friend for your favorite cocktails (or mocktails). It's Friday!

@noble_riot | “The fact that Colorado makes some pretty interesting natural wines is just one of the things you’ll learn at Noble Riot, an unlikely wine bar located down a graffiti-and-mural-adorned alley in Denver’s RiNo neighborhood. In general, whether you’re perusing one of the zine-like menus or being recommended pét-nat from Chile or pairing a big red from Palestine with a bucket of crunchy fried chicken, what you’ll discover is that wine can be wild and fun, even in the middle of craft-beer country.”

@serenatadc @lacosechadc | “At this gently curving bar in the heart of La Cosecha, a newish Latin American marketplace, the drinks, overseen by Serenata beverage director Andra “AJ” Johnson, can have a pantry’s worth of ingredients. The results, a showcase of Latin American spirits, are cocktails that are incredibly complex and stunningly presented, yet as easy-drinking as anything you would want on a tropical getaway. The elegant French Kissed in Jalisco, a kind of tequila vesper, will have you realizing there’s a bigger universe to explore when it comes to agave.”
