Twas the night before
Christmas, and all through
the town, not a pedicab was
stirring; their application
was turned down.
The Hi ghl and Park
Town Council on Monday
approved an ordinance
that prohibits pedicab
businesses. The legislation
came after one company
sought a permit to run
pedicab tours through the
towns streets during the
Christmas season.
We just didnt see that
there was a crying need for
these types of things in our
community, as a business,
Mayor Joel Williams said.
For the uni ni ti ated,
a pedicab is a passen-
ger vehicle powered by a
cyclist. Robert Tobolowsky
of Dallas Pedicabs, the
company that applied for
a permit, was understand-
ably disappointed by the
councils decision.
Were not happy. We
were tryi ng to meet a
demand we saw for our
services, he said in a
phone interview.
Tobolowskys company,
which he co-owns with
four fellow SMU gradu-
ates, operates pedicabs
in Uptown, downtown,
Victory Park, and Deep
Ellum. He said he and his
partners wanted to expand
to Highland Park for the
holiday season, to com-
pete with the horse-drawn
carriage tours inspired
by the towns extensive
Christmas-light displays.

Some people think Love
Fields name is a tribute to
Southwest Airlines; a nod
to the companys heart
logo, perhaps, or its LUV
ticker symbol, or the brand
of all-around lovey-dovi-
ness that has endeared it
to discount flyers since the
early 1970s.
Not so. The airlines
branding was inspired by
the field, not the other way
around. And the field is
named for a person. And
the person one Moss
Lee Love, a first lieuten-
ant in the 11th Calvary,
who died in a 1913 prac-
tice flight over San Diego
will be honored all over
again when a permanent

About two and a half
years ago, Beverly Hill
awoke from a dream that
was hard to forget.
She was left with a vivid
image of a clothesline
suspended high off the
ground, with pairs of baby
booties dangling from the
strand. The shoes hung
on the line, one foot apart,
as far as the eye could see
in either direction. As a
sculptor, ideas like this
could be inspiration for
Hills next piece. But she
knew it was reserved for
one thing something she
had been rallying against
for quite some time.
The dream woke me up
in the middle of the night,
Hill said. I thought, I
know this is about gender-
cide.
Nine months later, the
University Park resident
began the Gendercide

group designed to raise
awareness of the elimina-

The Hi ghl and Park
Community League has
been fined $200, after a
Texas Ethics Commission
investigation revealed that
the group violated various
campaign laws.
In its Aug. 30 decision,
the commission deter-
mined that the league
represented in campaign
communications that a
candidate held an elec-
tive public office that he
did not hold and did not
include the highway right-
of-way notice on political
advertising. The candi-
date in question is cur-
rent Mayor Joel Williams.
The sign read Highland
Park Community League
Endorses Mayor: Joel
Williams, then listed the
other candidates for the
Town Council. The com-
mission held that the sign
should have included the
word for, as in Highland

After a trip to London
decades ago, University
Park residents Dudley
and Aimee Simms became
obsessed with Old English
design. So much so, that
they wanted people in
Dallas to enjoy it as well.
You may remember
Highgate House as a pop-
up shop in Highland Park
Village or Snider Plaza,
but the antique store now
has a permanent home in
the Design District, which
attests to the owners pas-
sion to building their busi-
ness and brand.
Approaching the first
anni versary f or thei r
Dragon Street location,
the Simms have branched
out f rom t hei r ori gi -
nal aesthetic, featuring
contemporary artists in
their store. On Saturday,
dovetailing with Dragon
Streets annual gallery
walk, Highgate House will
have an artist reception
for three painters who
Dudley said complements
the stores English aes-
thetic beautifully.

tioned to selling contem-
porary art, because it looks

messy as a horse carriage,
Tobolowsky said. We
dont smell as bad.
Odors aside, Highland
Park i s consi deri ng a
change to the ordinance
t hat regul at es horse-
drawn carriages.
Applicants for carriage
licenses would be required
to provide daily schedules
detailing how many car-
riages would be on the
streets and when. (The
current ordinance prohib-
its carriages from oper-
ating between 12:30 a.m.
and 5 p.m.) The hope is
that such schedules would
allow town officials to limit
traffic congestion.
No action was taken on
the carriage ordinance
Monday, but related issues
were discussed. Carriage
licenses are good 365 days
a year, and the mayor
wants to limit that.
They re real l y j ust
used in the holiday sea-
son, Williams said, but
the holiday season seems
to expand, starting earlier
every year.
Department of Public
Saf ety Di rector Chri s
Vinson said the only times
hes seen horse-drawn
carriages operate out-
side the Thanksgiving-to-
New-Years window were
a couple of weddings and
the occasional Halloween
hayride.
Williams also discussed
raising the fees for car-
riage operators, who are
charged $50 for a license,
plus $50 for each carriage
and $25 for each driver.
To me, they re kind
of nui sance charges,
Williams said. Its not
very much.
Vi nson sai d that fee
schedule was designed just
to offset the cost of pro-
cessing carriage operators
paperwork.
But he and Williams
agreed that the fees should
be raised to help cover the
cost of repairing street
damage caused by metal
horseshoes. Vinson also
suggested that the town
could require some kind
of rubber- composi t e
horseshoe, but Williams
said some carriage opera-
tors have said such shoes
are unsafe, because horses
wearing them can slip on
slick streets.
The mayor, the council,
and the towns staff agreed
that raising the fees for this
holiday season would be
unfair to the carriage oper-
ators, because they havent
had a chance to budget for
higher fees and at least
two of them have already
paid in full. But operators
should consider them-
selves warned: Higher fees
are on the way.
The town is, in effect,
subsidizing the carriage
operators, Williams said.
The pedicabs ordinance
approved Monday also
prohibits the commer-
cial use of neighborhood
electric vehicles, which
are not to be confused
with golf carts. NEVs can
be outfitted with doors,
and some models resem-
ble conventional vehicles,
even though they cant
exceed 45 mph.
Ri ck Pyl e, assi st ant
director of the Department
of Publ i c Saf et y, sai d
Highland Park has not
received an application
to operate such a busi-
ness. NEVs were added
to the pedicabs ordinance
simply because town offi-
cials noticed that many
other municipalities have
lumped the two together.

the store, Dudley said.
The art were featuring at
the event is new, fresh, and
vibrant. It ties everything
together.
But tieing everything
together in the boutique is
no easy task, Dudley said.
Their store is packed with
whatnots. Most of their
inventory is comprised
of reproduction furni-
ture tables and desks
handmade in England.
They also have a variety of
home furnishings that they
import from England, and
custom-made lamps he
and his wife create.
The majority of our
f urni ture comes f rom
England, and we supple-
ment our inventory with
t hi ngs we f i nd f r om
antique fairs here in the
country, Dudley said. We
dont go to abroad much
now, because we have
built relationships with
English dealers and trust
what they send us. There,
we have skilled craftsmen
build 19th-century-style
tables that look old and
distressed, but are not rick-
ety, like true antique tables
are.
The tables, which run
from $3,000 to $6,000, are
quality. Naturally, since
the heavy tables are from
abroad, a chunk of the
cost goes to shipping. But
Dudley said he has not
found a better craftsman
in the states. For the past
20 years, he has been sell-
ing tables from the English
furniture maker in Dallas,
and the family who pur-
chased one of the first
tables he sold still use it
today, he said.
Ai mee, an i nt er i or
designer by trade, reuphol-
sters a lot of the vintage fur-
niture they sell at Highgate
House. Dudley said she is
busy playing many roles,
including being the stores
chief curator, as well as a
mom of four.
The Simms house on
Southwestern Boulevard
matches their store and
has numerous reproduced
tables in it. They also
have a number of antiques
that Dudley said they had
intended to sell in the store,
but couldnt part with.
Our house is the same
aesthetic as the store, but
since we ve opened up
shop, weve had to shift
our attention to starting
the business, Dudley said,
claiming their home hasnt
seen many updates in the
last year. But our house is
a kid-friendly place. And
there we have a lot of sen-
timental pieces that have
history. Thats one of the
things we like to provide
our customers: history
behind each piece of furni-
ture we sell.
