The early days

In the early 1900s, lots could be purchased for $100 (yes, you read that right), but by 1926, lots were selling for around $1,500, according to the Mistletoe Heights Association. Land value increased partially because of Texas Christian University’s 1910 move to its current location.

Read on to discover more about the history of Mistletoe Heights + can’t-miss spots with recs from Williams Trew Real Estate.*

FTW-Sundance Square Cowboy hat

Today’s issue was written by Rebecca.

Editor’s pick: If you haven’t had the chance to check out the 16 ft. mirrored cowboy hat in Sundance Square, the sculpture will only be on display through the end of the FWSSR on Saturday, Feb. 4.

Over the weekend, we asked our Instagram followers what other sculptures could replace the iconic hat. Here are a couple of suggestions:
  • “A gigantic boot, four stories tall with stairs to the top”
  • “A longhorn steer”
  • “The cowboy hat is perfect”
Do you think the cowboy hat should be a permanent Sundance Square fixture? Share your thoughts with us.
