Support the independent voice of Dallas and help keep the future of Dallas Observer free.
What you see above is the former Shell station at the intersection of Preston Road and Royal Lane. Despite what we'd been told in February -- that Shell was retrofitting the property, which has been a gas station as long as I can recall -- not so much. Don't know who owns it now, but Highland Park Village-based Expedition Capital Partners is handling the sale for the new owner, who took possession two weeks ago. Expedition's Jason Claro says he "can't comment on" who he's repping or what's likely to go in there (like, oh, I dunno -- a bank?), only that interested parties can buy the property outright or just lease it. He did ask us to e-mail him so he could send our info to his client, who's out of town. Did I say "bank"? --Robert Wilonsky
Keep the Dallas Observer Free... Since we started the Dallas Observer, it has been defined as the free, independent voice of Dallas, and we would like to keep it that way. Offering our readers free access to incisive coverage of local news, food and culture. Producing stories on everything from political scandals to the hottest new bands, with gutsy reporting, stylish writing, and staffers who've won everything from the Society of Professional Journalists' Sigma Delta Chi feature-writing award to the Casey Medal for Meritorious Journalism. But with local journalism's existence under siege and advertising revenue setbacks having a larger impact, it is important now more than ever for us to rally support behind funding our local journalism. You can help by participating in our "I Support" membership program, allowing us to keep covering Dallas with no paywalls.
