• Sheriff Lupe Valdez Asks For Your Support

  I had been looking forward to voting in this election for weeks, and finally got to cast my vote today. The last election was my first time voting and due to living out of state, I cast an absentee ballot, which didn’t quite have the same adrenaline.

  Pulling up to Our Redeemer Lutheran Church, I noticed a bunch of candidates signs and people encouraging voting for specific candidates as voters walked in. One person was none other than Kings Highway Conservation District resident Lupe Valdez, asking voters to re-elect her as Dallas County sheriff.

  Don’t forget to vote — tomorrow is the last day of early voting!

• JFK Trolley Tour Rolls Through Oak Cliff

  If you want to take a trip down memory lane or learn more about your neighborhood, the JFK Trolley Tour might just be for you. The Dallas Morning News ran a feature today on the tour, which departs near the Sixth Floor Museum at Dealey Plaza.

  Oak Cliff locations include the boarding house where Lee Harvey Oswald lived, the scene of Officer J.D. Tippit’s slaying, and the Texas Theatre, where Oswald was arrested.

  Let us know what you think about this tour and the draw it will bring to the Oak Cliff area.
