...is happening at the exact same time as boulevarding for the NTSU game. Many outside activities in Arden Forest. I've asked Walt Marcum to add beer pong to the outdoor activities. He didn't respond yet.

I don't get it.

Where is Arden Forest? By Perkins on southwest end of Blvd?

[CalallenStang]

Arden Forest is a shadow of what it used to be, prior to the expansion of Perkins

Arden Forest was pretty much a forest way back in the day.

Did it get ita name from the Arden Club or the other way around?

1925 paining of the area. Sure has changed. Not for the better in some ways. http://digitalcollections.smu.edu/cdm/r ... bim/id/330

That's a lovely painting. Had no idea there was a stream, which I assume ran east/west.

Highland Park Methodist's sixth grade confirmation class is having an all day event at the on-campus church on the same day as the North Texas game. A good portion of that day is composed of outdoor, team-building-type activities which traditionally take place in the Arden Forest area just north of the church parking lot. I foresee a conflict with Boulevarding, so I emailed Walt Marcum, the HPUMC minister who runs the confirmation program.

Did you also suggest to him that they have a feral cat catching contests. Thus a win / win situation for all Methodists, both ( southern and united ) involved.

Thank you for explaining. I was a bit lost.

That is the same stream that now runs between Drexel and St. John's streets in Highland Park. You can see it in very old photos of campus

I posted a map of the stream at some point on here. It runs roughly by Perkins across to the old natatorium, then northish from there. Of course it is all channelized underground now.
