1. Remember how SMU had plans to build a dorm complex north of Mockingbird? Well, those plans are about to become a reality, thanks to a $5 million gift two Denver-living former Mustangs. From the rendering, it looks like the new complex will abut Ford Stadium and the Dedman Center for Lifetime Sports, and perhaps push south to Potomac Avenue. Also, the incoming SMU class of 2017 will have to live on campus for both their freshman and sophomore year. Is this good/bad? Discuss.
2. The numbers are in: The Junior League of Dallas raised more than $17,000 through its Rummage Roundup. The April 29 to May 1 event at Dallas Market Hall featured thousands of donated trinkets at deep discounts. Congrats, ladies!
3. Today is the big day for University Park Elementary fourth-grade moms. For those performing a skit, I salute your humility. Also, I want pictures. Video is better.
