Jefferson neighborhood celebrates diversity, housing mix
The area offers distinctive architecture near downtown.

When the Jefferson neighborhood was little more than cow pasture in the early and mid-1900s, developers touted it as the premier place to live. It was just minutes from downtown, yet far enough removed to be disease-free at a time when tuberculosis, smallpox and other contagions ran rampant in the muggy, cramped center of town.

It was where people with money could go and escape from the city, yet live with all the comforts of civilization - water, sewer, electricity and gas lines.

In its day, it made national news for the unique architectural style of Jefferson High School, built in the early 1930s. About a decade later, the Jefferson Village in the heart of the neighborhood became the first shopping center of its kind in the nation.

But there was one stipulation to living in the neighborhood. Residents must be Anglo.

I am going to Paris in January and would like some ideas for something different to see and do there. I have visited the city several times in the past and am familiar with all the usual sights: Notre Dame, Arc de Triomphe, Galeries Lafayette, Defense, The Opera Garnier, Cemeteries Etc. What about some of the less well known attractions ...

I am making a trip to Paris in the New Year. Where can I go to hear French music of the 1940's 1950's - Piaf, Trenet, Josephine Baker etc? Are there any concerts in January recreating the period? Also I believe that there are some cafes that have evenings of such music, and the clients sing along. Thanks.

I am a hispanic woman wanting to relocate with my 3 kids to Seattle, however, ppl here in Texas are telling me that it would not be a wise decision b/c there are not many hispanics there and I would be a target for racism. Does anyone know if it is true? If not, is there a certain part of town that maybe has more hispanics?

We live in the philippines so we don't have winter. I have experienced snow when i was in europe BUT my brothers still haven't. We are planning to go to China next month which i believe is winter time. Which part of china gets thick thick snow? I don't wanna disappoint my brothers. Although part of our itinerary is to see the great wall which is already "great" enough BUT of course it would be really nice if they can see some snow too.
