Visiting Studio of Architect Wilson Fuqua
Wilson Fuqua is best known for the renovation and preservation design he has done on many of the most important historic and architecturally significant homes in Highland Park. He has also designed over 25 new homes in the finest neighborhoods of Dallas. It is always a treat to visit with Wilson about Dallas, Highland Park, architecture or life in general. He is a great asset to Dallas, and today it was fun to see him work, creating space within the four walls of the original structure that I did not think was possible.
Ascension Coffee at White Rock Lake
Garland Road, beyond the Arboretum, for years was only known for having Richardson Bike Mart and Barbec’s across the street. In the last few years, there has been a proliferation of fashionable bars, restaurants and coffee shops. Ascension Coffee at 9353 Garland Road is another addition to the neighborhood that provides great coffee and delectable food. The high vaulted wood and steel ceilings and long open space give a hint of the original chapel that inhabited the space.
Orphan Outreach Honors Blair Pogue
The generous amount that people in Dallas contribute and the wide range in which they do it never ceases to astound me. Here at the Hyatt Regency Dallas Reunion Ballroom next to Reunion Tower, Blair Pogue and his family were presented with the Children’s Hope Award by Orphan Outreach. The event was headlined by Tony Dungy. Blair Pogue has established over 200 personal relationships with orphans from Latvia to Russia on trips, Zoom calls and correspondence. He gives these orphans more than hope. Blair gives them confidence and optimism as they navigate their future. I am pictured here with Blair Pogue, Cristin Pogue and Tony Dungy.
Tony Dungy won a Superbowl as a player and as a head coach with two different professional teams. He has 12 children, 9 of which he and his wife adopted, along with fostering many other children. He passed on a tradition of Family Day on the Saturday practice before a Sunday game. This tradition of bringing children to practice spread across the NFL as players take their children to the practice before the game.
It was an honor to witness this celebration of Blair Pogue and Orphan Outreach.
Celebrating in Orange
Lee Cullum inspired a birthday party in her honor in which guests were required to wear orange, the favorite color of the celebrant.
Dallas Art Fair
The Dallas Art Fair has become one of the leading art fairs in the nation. Art galleries from across Dallas, the region, the country, and the world have come to Dallas every spring to showcase their favorite artists. An added bonus is the beautiful spring weather Dallas enjoys and the location in the Dallas Arts District next to the Dallas Museum of Art.
