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 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 are going to The Price is Right game/show in Las Vegas. We already have tickets (or will be picking them up at willcall). How early do we need to be there?

Some people report getting there 2 hours early and that seems a bit "over done" to me?

Thoughts?

Thanks,

I'm leaving tonight for New York...I will only be there for the weekend. What are some great things to do with limited time.

I'm mostly interested in art museums, but are any open during the weekend? I don't care for the touristy stuff like the Statue of Liberty or Empire State Building, Ground Zero is too heartbreaking and the Broadway shows I would have liked to have seen are on strike.

I'm sure the possibilities are endless....any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

I currently live in St. Louis and was planning to move to Dallas, when I was shocked to find that houses there do not have basements. So it made me wonder how many other cities have houses with no basements.
