New Four-Star Golf Resort to Open on Northwest Highway

I need some help, dear FrontBurnervians. On my way last weekend to secure an Easter ham, I saw the below house under construction on Northwest Highway, just west of Inwood. DCAD and Google street view weren’t much help. Anyone know who is building that monster?

Update: You’ll find the answer in the comments.

Ding, ding, ding! We’ve got a winner!

Thanks to the helpful FrontBurnervian who pointed me to the right DCAD account. Moving into the digs when they’re done will be Thomas Dundon, CEO of Drive Financial. They’re in the subprime business — but think cars, not homes. Drive was sold late last year for $636 million.

yeah I saw that estate back in December and was absolutely gob-smacked by its size. Maybe Ms. Crenshaw knows

T.W.P.,
That can’t be true, since the only black person Alan Peppard has ever met or spoken to was a waiter at Al Biernat’s.

But wait! There’s more!

Check the NW Hwy home on the far right. It’ll be 19,500 square feet. And, yes, it will have a mud room.

At least his cars will be safe from (cue dramatic music) THE CARSONIST….

Speaking of weird places on NW highway

Plaza de Toros is possibly the awesomest place in Dallas currently. A Taqueria has built an authentic Mexican bull ring behind their restaurant. Complete with bull riding(real kind, not mechanical gringo kind), mock midget matador bull fights, goats dressed as clowns.

Dare anyone to find a cooler, odder place than that within the Dallas city limits.

Olé!

Hey, Tim, Dundon works out at your club! Should make those noon pick-up games kinda tense, huh Rogers?

I’m so happy that I have no idea what a mud room is. Now, we do have a wine tasting room at our Casa View Estate. We usually call it my it’s less formal name, kitchen

My parents have a mud room. It’s basically room, usually between the garage and the kitchen, where you can take off your muddy/wet clothes and shoes. Sometimes the washing machine and dryer are in there as well. If they’re super fancy, they have tubs and stuff for rinsing off those muddy boots, and all sorts of accoutrements.

Timmy, next time you want a holiday ham order it from Ham I Am. I can’t believe you drove across town for a Honey Baked Ham.

I thought a mud room was a vulgar nickname for the bathroom.

thanks for the link, Bethany.

“Since a mud room bridges the space between indoors and outdoors..”

Now, we call that a porch mat in casa view.
Bethany @ March 25th, 2008 at 4:36 pm

The detritus my stepdad can acquire on his person can often eclipse the bounds of a porch mat. When they built the new master suite, my mother insisted on a mud room.

Does no one remember when this site was the local YMCA (back in the ’70s I think)?

By the way, no mud room of a multi-million dollar manse in Dallas is complete without a drip/dry area & a dog-wash-sized shower aera.

Buncha city slickers. Every farm house in the U.S. has a mud room.
