POST-MEMORIAL DAY ROAD TRIP: THE WOODSON PLACE

If you didn’t get through your book-on-tape on the long-weekend trip, why not head over to The Woodson Place? It’s about 74 miles east of Dallas, on County Road 2370 just off Highway 69, between Emory and Alba. On Wednesday, May 30, the public is invited to take a tour of this cool community, which has integrated “greenbuilt” homes with conservation development goals of wildlife habitat preservation and native plant wildscaping. (Note: You might want to go down in the Prius rather than the Suburban.)
