1. There will be a community meeting tonight to discuss turning the old Ramada Plaza Hotel on Akard Street and Interstate 30 into a homeless shelter. If the plan comes together, there will be 200 rooms made available to the homeless. All the developer has to do is get the community on board. Piece of cake.
2. This is an unfortunate case of she said, they said. Habitat for Humanity built Mattie a home. One stipulation for the home was that Mattie not move in as a single person. She said that’s fine, because her grandkids lived with her. But she said they only lived with her for a year, and she says they come back often. Even if that can be proven, it looks like it might not be enough.
How did this issue come to light? It appears that when the title was drawn up for the lot Mattie lives on, someone accidentally also included the neighboring lot (which it looks like Mattie’s not paying for). So Habitat needs that title to build another home. They’re offering to buy it for $10.
Here’s the way I look at it: if you didn’t really own the lot and you never spent money on the lot, but now you’re being offered $10 for it, take the deal! That’s a win. Of course, the whole being pushed out of your home because you didn’t meet the requirements thing is a loss. So best case scenario? Mattie breaks even. Kind of.
3. Awhile ago, Tim said he was disappointed that the Cowboys weren’t breaking the law the way they used to. Then Jason told you about Michael Irvin getting accused of allegedly raping a woman in Hollywood, which was the second Tim-worthy, law-breaking incident by a Cowboy (ex-Cowboy, whatever). So Jason deemed that a trend and said that Tim Rogers cursed America’s Team. Well, it looks like the curse is off as no charges are going to be filed against Irvin. Apparently, the lady made the whole thing up. Find someone else to blame if next year’s season doesn’t go well. Here’s one suggestion.
