Plans are underway to have a first-ever Junius Heights Historic District home tour. The Board of Directors has tentatively selected the second weekend in November. If you would like your home or another home to be on the tour, or if you would like to be on the planning committee, please contact reneschatgtedotnet.
On Sunday, June 17, around 9:00 pm, an individual in the 900 block of S. Beacon jumped on the hood of his car in an attempt to prevent it from being stolen. The car traveled down Beacon before the victim fell off the hood. The victim was then assaulted with knives by two suspects.
Miraculously, the victim survived and is recovering in the hospital. The police were able to collect physical evidence but no arrests have been made. Please call 911 or contact our police community liaison, Keith Allen, at 214-670-0659 if you have any information.
