  • Oral History of Bonton and Ideal Neighborhoods in Dallas, Texas
    ORAL HISTORY OF BONTON AND IDEAL NEIGHBORHOODS IN DALLAS, TEXAS Briana Payne Thesis Prepared for the Degree of MASTER OF ARTS UNIVERSITY OF NORTH TEXAS December 2015 APPROVED: Andrew Nelson, Committee Chair Beverly Ann Davenport, Committee Member Matthew Durington, Committee Member Lisa Henry, Chair of the Department of Anthropology Costas Tsatsoulis, Dean of the Toulouse Graduate School Payne, Briana. Oral History of Bonton and Ideal Neighborhoods in Dallas, Texas. Master of Arts (Applied Anthropology), December 2015, 145 pp., 3 tables, 67 figures, references, 223 titles. The Bonton and Ideal neighborhoods in Dallas Texas, developed in the early 1900s, experienced physical and social decay throughout the 1980s. Neighborhood organizations and resident activism were vital to the rebirth of the community in the 1990s. Current revitalization efforts taking place there have been a source of contention as the neighborhood continues to overcome inequalities created by decades of racialized city planning initiatives. This thesis focuses on how the structuring structure of whiteness has historically affected, and continues to affect, the neighborhoods of Ideal and Bonton, as well as acts to identify how black residents have navigated their landscape and increased their collective capital through neighborhood activism. Copyright 2015 By Briana Payne ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS First, I would like to thank the Neighborhood Investment Program for providing me with the opportunity to work with them as they continue to improve the Bonton and Ideal neighborhoods in South Dallas. Without their acknowledgement of the importance of conserving the history of this community, I would not have been able to share the important life stories of the residents.

What kind of culture if any has been created by Architourism and is it authen c or inauthen c. What kinds of developments have occurred there recently and what has this done to boost or change the local community. In the 2010 census the city of Dallas saw less than a one percent increase in its total popula on while Ft Worth increased by more than 38%. Did Architourism play a role in this? If so, what? Our analysis will begin with researching the demographics of the local users and types of tourists, their income level, race, educa on and loca on of residency. We will also include looking into the histories of selected sites with respect to their economies, culture, tourist ac vi es, and rela onship to the built environment.

Under the FDIC’s ex parte communication rules, the bank was not in a position to engage in dialogue or commentary due to pending merger applications with our regulatory agencies. Now that the merger application has been formally approved, we are in a position to provide this response. We are proud of our outreach programs and are actively involved in the entire community, a commitment we expect from our bank and our employees not only in the City of Dallas, but in all of the markets in which we operate. We offer a full suite of products that serves all socio-economic groups and are always looking for ways to engage within the communities we serve. We have partnered with and financially supported a number of organizations (including your own), and have provided a number of diverse investment opportunities within the market to aid us in reaching underserved communities and populations. BancorpSouth is committed to serving the credit needs of our communities, and we look forward to continuing to build our outreach and relationships with equally committed partners.

  • How to Make Urban Growth More Inclusive: the Dallas Experience
    HOW TO MAKE URBAN GROWTH MORE INCLUSIVE: THE DALLAS EXPERIENCE J.H. Cullum Clark Director, George W. Bush Institute-SMU Economic Growth Initiative January 2019 The author has adapted this essay from a chapter he wrote in Joel Kotkin, ed., “Beyond Gentrification: Towards More Equitable Urban Growth.” The author thanks everyone who helped research housing and neighborhood issues in Dallas and provided advice on this essay, particularly Tillie Borchers, Joseph Cahoon, Duane Dankesreiter, Klaus Desmet, Jon Edmonds, Jack Matthews, Christie Myers, Doug Newby, Linda McMahon, Pamela Stein, Todd Williams, and Philip Wise, as well as his George W. Bush Institute colleagues Ken Hersh, Holly Kuzmich, William McKenzie, Ioanna Papas, Matthew Rooney, Kristin Spanos, Jenny Villatoro, Enisha Williams, and all the members of the phenomenal research team assembled by Joel Kotkin and Wendell Cox. The opinions expressed in this essay are the author’s alone. George W. Bush Institute-SMU Economic Growth Initiative 1 The Dallas-Fort Worth (DFW) region is a microcosm of America’s latest urban evolution. The metropolitan area is booming, fueled by a range of thriving industries and a tremendous influx of people and businesses. Like other central cities within big metro areas, the City of Dallas – home to 1.3 million of the 7.4 million in the DFW metro – has experienced a stunning resurgence from the dark days of the 1980s, when the city was reeling from an oil and real estate crash. Yet for all its heady growth, Dallas still faces many of the defining challenges bedeviling other major cities and the nation: a dwindling middle class, growing bifurcation into “have” and “have-not” neighborhoods, an emerging home affordability problem, and rising numbers of poor citizens who feel left behind by 21st century prosperity.

    STRONGER, HEALTHIER, SAFER THE YMCA OF METROPOLITAN DALLAS 2018 ANNUAL REPORT www.ymcadallas.org 1 Dear YMCA Family and Friends, 2018 was an outstanding year meeting the needs of the communities we are fortunate to serve. We did this through terrific programs serving all ages in our community, including two new programs, the Summer Learning Academy and Kamp K’aana. Focused on education, the Academy keeps at risk children on grade level and slows the challenge of summer learning loss. K’aana gives children who struggle with weight the opportunity to learn about a healthier lifestyle while spending an active two weeks at Camp Grady Spruce. Needs were also met at Y branches as members improved their health and wellness while spending time with new and old friends. All our work is underscored by our mission, “To put Christian values into practice through programs that build a healthy spirit, mind and body for all.” The Dallas YMCA is in our 134th year of service to our community. The beauty of the Y is adapting to the changing needs of fast-growing communities. We look quite a bit different than we did in 1885 but we’re consistent in standing ready to serve those that need the Y. We are proud to share with you a snapshot into the life of your Y over the past year. You are an important part of what makes the Y great and we appreciate your commitment, participation and support. This is Our Story. Warmly, Crayton Webb Curt Hazelbaker Chief Volunteer Officer President and Chief Executive Officer 2 BENEFITING OUR COMMUNITY COMMUNITY INVESTMENT $4.3 Million COMMUNITY ASSISTANCE $5.5 Million DIRECT COMMUNITY ASSISTANCE TOTAL Membership, Program, & Income-Based Scholarships $2.7 Million COMMUNITY BENEFIT INDIRECT COMMUNITY ASSISTANCE Agency Scholarships, Subsidies, etc.
