“Between the Creeks” Gwen Pettit This is a compilation of weekly newspaper columns on local history written by Gwen Pettit during 1986-1992 for the Allen Leader and the Allen American in Allen, Texas. Most of these articles were initially written and published, then run again later with changes and additions made. I compiled these articles from the Allen American on microfilm at the Allen Public Library and from the Allen Leader newspapers provided by Mike Williams. Then, I typed them into the computer and indexed them in 2006-07. Lois Curtis and then Rick Mann, Managing Editor of the Allen American gave permission for them to be reprinted on April 30, 2007, [email protected]. Please, contact me to obtain a free copy on a CD. I have given a copy of this to the Allen Public Library, the Harrington Library in Plano, the McKinney Library, the Allen Independent School District and the Lovejoy School District. Tom Keener of the Allen Heritage Guild has better copies of all these photographs and is currently working on an Allen history book. Keener offices at the Allen Public Library. Gwen was a longtime Allen resident with an avid interest in this area’s history. Some of her sources were: Pioneering in North Texas by Capt. Roy and Helen Hall, The History of Collin County by Stambaugh & Stambaugh, The Brown Papers by George Pearis Brown, The Peters Colony of Texas by Seymour V. Conner, Collin County census & tax records and verbal history from local long-time residents of the county. She does not document all of her sources.

The Hall of Honor and the Move to Tier One Athletics by Debbie Z
The Hall of Honor and the Move to Tier One Athletics By Debbie Z. Harwell rom its earliest days, the University of Houston rose to Fthe top in athletics—not in football or basketball as you might expect, but in ice hockey. The team competed for the first time in 1934 against Rice Institute in the Polar Wave Ice Rink on McGowan Street. It went undefeated for the season, scoring three goals to every one for its opponents. The next year, only one player returned, but the yearbook reported that they “represented a fighting bunch of puck- pushers.” They must have been because the team had no reserves and played entire games without a break.1 The sports picture changed dramatically in 1946 when the University joined the Lone Star Conference (LSC) and named Harry H. Fouke as athletic director. He added coaches in men’s tennis, golf, track, football, and basketball, and a new director of women’s athletics focused on physical education.

DEHRING, CRAIG A. DEPKEN and MICHAEL R. WARD* We investigate the impact of a potential new sports venue on residential property values, focusing on the National Football League’s Dallas Cowboys’ search for a new host city in the Dallas-Fort Worth area. We find that residential property values in the city of Dallas increased following the announcement of a possible new stadium in the city. At the same time, property values fell throughout the rest of Dallas County, which would have paid for the proposed stadium. These patterns reversed when the Dallas stadium proposal was abandoned. Subsequently, a series of announcements regarding a new publicly subsidized stadium in nearby Arlington, Texas, reduced res- idential property values in Arlington. In aggregate, average property values declined approximately 1.5% relative to the surrounding area before stadium construction commenced. This decline was almost equal to the anticipated household sales tax burden, suggesting that the average expected amenity effect of hosting the Cowboys in Arlington was not significantly different from zero.

FAIR PARK PROSPECTIVE FUTURE TENANTS REQUEST FOR INFORMATION DALLAS, TEXAS Fair Park First is seeking Request for Information (RFI) from organizations interested in opportunities for tenancy at Fair Park. This RFI is intended to attract business owners and institutions who share a common vision and innovative ideas for activating Fair Park. Proposals will be considered for uses such as recreational, civic, cultural, educational, entertainment, arts, retail, food and beverage, and other park activating uses. FAIR PARK HISTORY Fair Park is a 277-acre park campus located in Dallas, Texas. Fair Park is approximately three (3) miles southeast of downtown Dallas and is registered as a Dallas Landmark and National Historic Landmark. Fair Park hosted the Texas Centennial Exposition in 1936 and most of the Art Deco Buildings were built in preparation for the celebration of Texas’ Centennial. The State Fair began in 1886 on land donated to the City of Dallas. Over the years the Park has grown to include many cultural institutions including performance venues, museums and sports stadiums. The historic Cotton Bowl sits majestically inside Fair Park serving as one of the identifiable landmarks that populate the landscape. The Hall of State and the Tower Buildings evoke historic milestones and reflect the many cultures inhabiting Texas. BACKGROUND In 2017 & 2018 the City of Dallas fostered a competitive process to determine which non-profit organization, with experience and intent, would manage Fair Park as a Private Professional manager. Fair Park First was selected through a lengthy evaluation, review, and public process to become the City of Dallas’ partner. Our team comprised of Spectra, Biederman Redevelopment Ventures (BRV), In The City For Good and Fair Park First was selected and awarded the contract on October 24, 2018.

Art Deco at Fair Park
Art Deco at Fair Park Fair Park is home to one of the greatest concentrations of early 20th century Art Deco exposition buildings in the world. For the Texas Centennial Exposition and World's Fair of 1936, a total of fifty structures were erected. Twenty -one of those survive today, including the centerpiece of the entire project, the Hall of State. Enjoy learning the history of Art Deco, touring the art and architecture of Fair Park, and discovering some of the episodes from history that inspired the vision of Hall of State architect Donald Barthelme. Teacher’s Materials Teacher’s The Origins of Art Deco The term Art Deco comes from the 1925 Paris Ex- hibition Internationale des Arts Décoratifs et Industriels Modernes (which translates to the “International Exhibi- tion of Decorative and Industrial Arts”). The exposition was dedicated to the display of modern decorative arts, exhibiting the work of thousands of designers from all over Europe. Several countries sponsored pavilions, deco- rative temporary buildings that housed exhibits showcas- ing the splendors of their national culture. The exposition attracted over 16 million visitors, marking the high point of the first phase of Art Deco. The Primavera Pavilion, inspired by African thatched huts. The host city played a very large role in the exhibition. Following the devastation wrought by the Great War, Europe entered a rebuilding era, and France was determined to lead the way. Parisi- ans had traditionally been trendsetters in fashion and the arts, and once again they sought to be the world leaders in style. The exhibition helped to es- tablish the preeminence of French taste and luxury goods.

followed in his unique footsteps. This chapter contains beautiful copies of paintings by his early influences, the Europeans Turner and Corot, but ALLIE VICTORIA TENNANT also paintings by artists who followed Reaugh, for example, Alexandre Hogue and Melissa Miller. This book rightfully promotes the idea that Reaugh was, indeed, the “Dean of Texas Artists.” His works and those of his students and the students of those students are prized by collec tors throughout the United States. Because the breadth of Reaugh’s influence on American art continues today, this book should be in the library of every collector of American art, not just collectors of early Texas art. — Scott Chase VISUAL ARTS IN DALLAS Light Townsend Cummins, Allie Victoria upt Tennant and the Visual Arts in Dallas (C o lle g e Tow nsend Station: Texas A&M University Press, 2015, C um m ins 336 pp., $335) As Dallas lawmakers and citizens once again debate the future of Fair Park and its art deco treasures, it seems a fitting time for historian women’s history.

After All, Cotton Bowl Stadium Is
FP-018 Cotton Bowl Stadium Does the structure in front of you really need an introduction? After all, Cotton Bowl Stadium is renowned worldwide as the venue that for more than 70 years hosted the Cotton Bowl Classic, pitting two of college football’s premier powerhouses against one another on -- or near -- New Year’s Day. The roster of gridiron greats who have played inside this stadium reads like a roll call of athletic superstardom. Davey O’Brien, Bobby Layne, Sammy Baugh, Bart Starr, and Ernie Davis (who was the first black player to win the Heisman Trophy). Let’s not forget Roger Staubach, Joe Theismann, Joe Montana, Bo Jackson, Dan Marino and Woodrow Wilson High School graduate and Heisman winner, Tim Brown. Oh yes, and Troy Aikman, Doug Flutie and Eli Manning, as well. You HAVE heard of some of those people, haven’t you? For more than 70 years, this stadium has also been the host of a piddly little rivalry you’ve probably never heard of, a rivalry between one team that wears Burnt Orange and White, and another that wears Crimson and White. And to be clear, down here that rivalry is always called the TEXAS/OU game … never the other way around. The stadium also hosts the annual State Fair Classic featuring Grambling University and Prairie View A&M, perhaps the one football event in the country where the halftime band performances are more exciting than the game itself. And in 2011, the stadium became the home of the new Ticket City Bowl, featuring teams from the Big 10 Conference and Big 12 Conference or Conference U.S.A.
