Today, I come to you for help. My ship has fallen under attack and I’m afraid my mission to bring you to Alderaan… Okay, it’s nothing that dramatic. I just like any and all excuse to showcase my amazing Star Wars knowledge. Anyway, I’ve been running the roads, searching for the best new construction in and around Dallas for an upcoming issue of D Home. I need houses that are visible from the street–no gates. And this is all about a lovely and amazing exterior. I don’t care about the inside–so something inside can’t be the thing that makes it great. (So nothing like: “Forget the scary moat! There’s a 5-million-bottle wine cellar!”) And when I say “new construction,” let’s say nothing built earlier than 2005. Do you, your real estate agent, builder, architect, and/or real estate loving friends have any ideas for me? You can be specific: send an address! You can be vague: send a street name or neighborhood! It doesn’t have to be something I can walk to–I’ll drive to Allen! Feel free to send me a note or leave a comment. Or, if it makes you feel better, you can talk to Candy Evans on DallasDirt. My feelings won’t be hurt. Thanks for your help.

Kostelny, are you paid by the exclamation point?
