addison tx: Addison's Next Mayor?
- 06/27/10 01:27 PM

Next year, in 2011, in addition to council seats up for grabs, the mayor's position will also be open due to current Addison Mayor Joe Chow being term-limited and unable to run again.
Don Daseke, Addison's current Mayor Pro Tempore, has been quietly holding exploratory conversations with city leaders, past and present. Don is an entrepreneur and businessman and he held various positions in Addison before serving on the town … (2 comments)

addison tx: Rain Doesn't Dampen Spirits at Addison's Midway Meadows 2010 Block Party
- 04/23/10 02:22 PM
The on-again off-again rain last Sunday did not deter the residents of Addison's Midway Meadows subdivision.

Addison Police, Fire & EMS personnel joined us. Koby, our K-9 pup, and his handler provided a demonstration, and an Addison police officer on his Segway zigged and zagged through the crowd.
Several members of the Addison Town Council were also in attendance. All in all, a good … (3 comments)
