This week on What In East Dallas Is Going On?!, Rich and Camille sit down with Skyler Colman and Shannon Ramirezto talk about something that’s become a staple in East Dallas, the White Rock Home Tour.
What started back in 2006 as a small idea from a group of Hexter Elementary PTA parents has grown into something much bigger. At its core, it was about two things. A love for mid century modern homes and a desire to support their neighborhood school.
We get into the story behind those iconic Ju-Nel homes designed by Lyle Rowley and Jack Wilson. The kind of homes that stop you mid drive. Low rooflines, open spaces, natural light pouring in. The kind of architecture that makes you feel something.
But this isn’t just about homes.
Every dollar raised goes right back into Hexter Elementary, a National Blue Ribbon school that’s doing some incredible things for kids right here in our community. From technology to literacy programs to campus improvements, this tour is about investing in something that actually matters.
It’s a conversation about architecture, yes. But more than that, it’s about community, purpose, and what can happen when people decide to show up for something bigger than themselves.
Give it a listen.
