LakesidePark2 It was too hot to truly enjoy Lakeside Park, as idyllic a spot as it is, when D Magazine online editorial intern Ryan Jones took a look around Highland Park. (He’s touring all of the best suburbs of Dallas on this year’s ranking.)

So Ryan set himself the challenge of enjoying Highland Park Village on a limited budget.

Here’s his report.

  1. Dear Online Editorial Intern Ryan,

    You’re handling this series quite capably, entertainingly, even. Not easy. But.

    Well, my Mom said it best when I was at the tender age of seven: For Christ’s sake, Daniels*, she snorted. You’ve had five-and-a-half Bellinis. And you admit it?!

    But Mom, I countered weakly, grasping instantly that my nascent manhood had, in her eyes, permanently withered. They only cost a buck, and I was so hot from shoveling coal all day.

    She derisively threw my sister’s Barbie at me and mumbled go play with this why don’t you. I shed great tears of hot bitter shame.

    Fin.

  2. I can’t think of anyplace else to DO anything in HP proper but The HP Village. I guess you could get a fancy car wash down the street, maybe get a book at the library. Oh then there is the bar at Javier’s………..
