Cedar Springs isn’t the only neighborhood in transition; Deep Ellum has struggled with its own issues: perceived high incidents of crime, DART construction impeding access, vacant buildings. To address these concerns, the Deep Ellum Foundation is hosting a town hall meeting with Mayor Tom Leppert and others in attendance. The topic will of course focus on the Downtown neighborhood, but if you haven’t met the mayor, and want to judge for yourself whether he should be “deemed ‘gay friendly,'” this might be your chance.
The meeting takes place at the Sons of Hermann Hall on Friday (June 27) from 2 to 4 p.m. Â
It’s interesting that both Mayor Miller and Leppert have done these large scale town hall meetings in Deep Ellum. I’m all for it and think Deep Ellum needs the city’s attention.
But what about a mayoral town hall meeting in Oak Lawn, East Dallas or in the north or south?
I kinda hoped posting this notice would do just that: Encourage people to see if we could do a town hall in Uptown.
