🎙️Hi from Emma—two streets over, dog that thinks he owns the sidewalk. I’m writing like we’re leaning on the same fence, swapping “did you hear?” and “you gotta try this” without the drama. Dallas feels friendlier when the news lands like that.

📎Dallas Happening Now
✈️ Love Field’s next chapter is moving — DAL finalized its “Love What’s Next” plan and is rolling into the LEAP capital program (about six years, ~14 projects) including a concourse expansion, a new terminal headhouse, and upgraded roads/parking; I’ll keep tabs on detours and wayfinding so you don’t have to.
🌳 Free trees for Dallas yards (through Sept 30) — Branch Out Dallas is open now: one free 5-gallon native tree per household with quick online registration, and November pickup; shade, curb appeal, lower summer bills—hit the form before it’s gone.
🌍 New long-haul options from DFW next summer — American Airlines is adding nonstop flights from DFW to Athens and Zurich for summer 2026, giving North Texas more one-hop Europe choices; handy for early trip planning and miles redemptions.
🏡 House of the Week
🏡 Casa View cutie that won’t torch taco night 🌮: 2709 Province Ln — 3 bed / 3 bath / 1,808 sq ft. Built 1955 and freshly styled with a Danish-modern kitchen (custom millwork, quartz, glossy tile), a cozy sunken living room with gas fireplace 🔥, and a low-maintenance backyard (deck + turf) plus a rear 2-car garage. Peek the photos here: Listing link.
Why it’s a win: the East Dallas sweet spot—single-story flow, updates you’d actually choose, and a price that starts with $499K 💸. Systems/windows/roof got love ~5 years ago, which is a nice breather for a mid-century. If you orbit White Rock/Lochwood/Casa View, make this your first walk-through.
Little neighbor note: listings move fast—double-check availability before you go. If you tour it, report back on whether that sunken living room feels as good as it looks.
