Dallas’ Favorite Realtor Celebrates 102. Ebby Halliday will turn 102 on Saturday, so she had a celebration yesterday at Southfork. Here are just a couple reasons to love Ebby: 1.

She’s been selling houses (and doing a pretty good job of it) for longer than you’ve been alive.
Dallas County Sheriff’s Department Still Using VHS Tapes. I know. I was shocked by that headline, too.
