Mother Jones Pays a Visit to Highland Park

|

Writer Josh Harkinson, who is from Dallas, begins his look at 75205 from Highland Park Village or, as he calls it, “a strip mall clogged with Ferraris and fashion boutiques.”

Nothing that anyone familiar with “the Bubble” doesn’t already know, except perhaps this bit about Dallas Country Club, which references Wick’s column about the club’s de facto segregation:

Lambasted as recently as last year for not admitting African Americans, Highland Park’s 117-year-old Dallas Country Club revealed, after repeated calls, that it does in fact have black members but wouldn’t say how many or when they joined. A Parkie friend whose family belongs to the club told me he has never seen a black member.
