He lived in Highland Park, which is a GORGEOUS neighborhood, and he lived in a really pretty house that I loved going to stay at b/c it had all sorts of cool rooms and furniture plus a beautiful swimming pool and guest house. I usually went to see him in the winter or spring though so the weather was never very hot.

Highland Park? The "bubble" of Dallas? (Highland Park and University Park, collectively known as the 'Park Cities' are the bastions of old money and zero-lot length mansions (giant houses (pocket mansions) that take up most of the lot, leaving very little room for a front or back yard.). And the only independent cities completely surrounded by the City of Dallas.
Legend has it that the rivalry between Highland Park Senior High (the 'Scots') and Lewisville High School ('the Fighting Farmers') degenerated into the infamous 'Trash vs. Cash' football game, replete with stories of HP parents and boosters throwing cash on the field.
Don't forget that every fall, the Church of the Holy Gridiron (Archdiocese of Texas) has services every Friday night (high school football), Saturday afternoon (college football) and Sunday afternoon (pro football), with special pro services on Monday and Thursday night!
