Abused children can't wait
Where are they now?
Star from BL mentors Broadway bound students By Shari Goldstein Stern Tina Walsh was just putting up her feet after returning home from an exhilarating, international tour of “Phantom of the Opera,” when she got a call from Tracy Jordan of the Dallas Summer Musicals (DSM) High School Musical Theater Awards (HSMTA). Jordan invited the Bishop Lynch ’77 alumna to be a guest DSM judge for its annual awards. He also asked her to coach DSM’s finalists to help them prepare for their final round of judging, and then to prepare the best actor and actress winners to compete in New York City at the national organization’s finals. And to chaperone. Pretty big request of a volunteer? No worries to Walsh.

Festival of Independent Theatres
Bath House welcomes one acts, collaborative productions By David Meglino The Festival of Independent Theatres returns with six new companies and two festival founders joining forces for a four-week run of summertime entertainment at the Bath House Cultural Center this July. Presented just a stone’s throw from the shores of White Rock Lake, FIT offers eight different one-acts, presented in rotating pairs, by eight of North Texas’ most notable theatre companies and is sponsored by the City of Dallas, Office of Cultural Affairs. This year’s festival is shaping up to be one of the most unique in recent memory as it blends long-time participants WingSpan Theatre, Co. and Echo Theatre with six new companies for its usual mixture of sophisticated storytelling and upstart theatrical events. Making their eighteenth consecutive appearance in the festival, Susan Sargeant’s WingSpan Theatre, Co. is known for its definitive productions of the classical cannon. This year’s entry will be no exception as WingSpan presents “Play,” an otherworldly rumination on infidelity and existentialism by
theatrical giant Samuel Beckett. “I’m tremendously excited to see this piece performed under Susan’s guidance,” said the festival’s managing director David Meglino. “Wingspan is the model of consistency when it comes to quality work, and it is truly a privilege to be able to work with them year after year.” Fellow founding company Echo Theatre has spent almost two decades promoting the female voice while delivering some of the most unique and diverse material on Dallas stages. “They’ve been with us since the very beginning and have been responsible for some of our most exciting productions over the years,” said Meglino. Brittany Willis’ “Blisters,” a quirky yet insightful look at love, loss and letting go, marks Echo’s sixteenth appearance in the festival. The remaining participants make their FIT debuts, presenting three world and three regional premiers, which explore a diverse range of issues including politics, murder, sexual assault, mental health, materialism and missed opportunity. A complete list of this year’s

Do your homework before renovating By Nathaniel Sillin Before the housing market collapse of 2007, all renovation projects — no matter how expensive — seemed like winners. Today, home renovation is a whole new ballgame and why you should carefully research any potential fix-up project you’re planning for your home. For the past 14 years, Remodeling magazine’s annual Remodeling 2016 Cost vs. Value Report has tracked cost recoupment on renovation projects nationwide and by region, as local tastes are important. Based on trends from transactions tracked in 2015, several guidelines emerged: • Aim to cover your costs. Pre-housing crash, people were investing heavily in their homes and seeing returns greater than 100 percent on their spending. In 2016, the cost and return at resale for the projects listed in the report averaged 64.4 percent for a home sold within a year of the upgrades. Making a profit on a renovation isn’t guaranteed, so aim instead to tackle projects that will allow you to recover your costs at the highest possible level. • Smaller projects focusing on essentials can provide better returns. A decade ago, it was an upscale outdoor deck or a gourmet kitchen. These days, new doors, which can cost under $500 to replace and install, are one of the most popular projects. A high quality fiberglass entry door replacement can recoup an average 82.3 percent of costs; a garage door replacement can return over 90 percent. • Upgrade rooms and spaces, but keep it modest. A minor kitchen remodel including
upgraded cabinet fronts, new hardware and the addition of one or two energy-efficient appliances averaged a return of more than 83 percent of original cost compared to the 65 percent for the gut jobs. After assessing the national and regional averages, you’ll need to evaluate your personal situation, local home market and the type of homes that are selling in your neighborhood. Let’s start with the questions you need to ask yourself: • What kinds of improvements make Photo courtesy of html-helper.net sense for my neighborhood? Generally, exterior renovations that complement nearby homes have greater value, so consider how your new exterior might fit in with other houses on the street. As far as interior renovations, keep your spending in line with your future sale price. For example, a $100,000 kitchen in a home that might not sell for more than $300,000 would probably be a wasted investment — but a kitchen update worth $10,000 or less might help your house move quicker once it’s listed for sale. • How long will I stay post-renovation? Remember, the latest Remodeling magazine numbers cover only one year of cost recovery on projects. People renovate for a variety of needs, either to make the home more livable or to make it more salable. The longer you stay, the more you’ll get out of the investment — but if you have to sell soon, think carefully about what you’ll need to spend to attract a buyer.

Things will be great when you’re downtown No finer place for sure, downtown Everything’s waiting for you — Written by Tony Hatch and sung by Petula Clark I “had” to go downtown the other day. I wrote “had” because I really wasn’t looking forward to it. It was blazing hot outside and I’m still hobbling around on crutches. The thought of having to find a parking space and then walk the 100 yards into my destination made me dread the trip before I even got there. But, you know what? Downtown was great! As I wove my way through the streets of Dallas, I was amazed at what I saw. What used to be a dirty and dingy part of town was now vibrant and alive with activities. I passed Klyde Warren Park, where
people were walking, children were playing and dogs were taking their owners out for a day in the park. Who would have thought a park built on top of a freeway would be so popular? Then I drove through the Arts District and admired all the wonderful buildings devoted to creativity: the Winspear Opera House, the Wyly Theater, the Dallas Museum of Art, the Crow Collection of Asian Art, the Nasher Sculpture Garden. When I attended Arts Magnet at Booker T. Washington during the '80s, dilapidated buildings surrounded the school. Now, Booker T. Washington High School for the Performing and Visual Arts is in the heart of the Arts District. Along the way, I passed a group of tourists taking a Dallas sightseeing Segway tour. They were all smiling as they rolled by with their tour guide leading the charge. I made a mental note to take my children on that tour (once I get my cast off ). I know we would all learn a lot about the city we live in. In the distance I could see the Margaret Hunt Hill Bridge towering over the city. I drove by the Kay Bailey Hutchinson Convention Center. And then I arrived at the old Sears building. For you youngsters in our reading audience, you may know it as the South Side of Lamar. But it will always be the old Sears building to me. Wow. What a difference a couple of decades can make. The building is now full of artists and lofts and galleries, but still maintains its historic charm. Downtown Dallas is truly a great destination. So, as Petula Clark sang, “forget all your troubles, forget all your cares and go downtown.” Everything’s waiting for you.

Rescue in Burma “In Memoriam” column article about Otha Spencer and the book brought back so many memories. My uncle was a radio man on a C47; he flew the “Hump.” The plane crashed in the Burmese jungle. Out of a crew of nine, my uncle and the pilot survived. They were lost in the Burmese jungle for three days. Their rescue was quite a story. These planes had no armament; the crew carried side arms. Just a note, while these planes were flying the “Hump,” refugees were walking out on the Burma Road. A friend of mine was a baby. His parents, aunt and uncle took turns carrying him as they escaped to India. — Billie Przybylski

Mull It Over
Voice of ballpark spent time in cornfields

Chuck Morgan has been a fixture in the Rangers broadcast booth for decades.
By David Mullen Officially, his title is executive vice president, ballpark entertainment and productions. To everyone else, he is simply the familiar, friendly voice of Globe Life Park and the Texas Rangers. Since 1983 — with a one-year hiatus in Kansas City in 2002 — Chuck Morgan has been the public address announcer at old Arlington Stadium and now Globe Life Park that welcomes fans to the ballpark and introduces players. He is credited with inventing the famous “dot race,” which has entertained fans for decades. No surprise that Morgan was raised playing and loving baseball. “I grew up in southern Illinois down around a place called Marion,” said Morgan in his resonant, but folksy voice. “It’s about a 120 miles south of St. Louis. So growing up there I became a big [St. Louis] Cardinals fan.” At the time, Cardinals games were broadcast on 50,000-watt powerhouse KMOX, anchored by Hall of Fame broadcasters Jack Buck and Harry Caray. “I’m one of those throwbacks that took the transistor radio to bed at night and loved the west coast games because I could listen until midnight,” Morgan said. “I grew up on Harry Caray and Jack Buck and always tell everybody that I was a big Harry Caray fan long before everyone turned him into a big buffoon. He was really a good broadcaster.” As a youngster, Morgan wanted to pursue
baseball as a player and growing up in southern Illinois, Morgan had a local athlete that he could look up to. “[Former All-star catcher] Ray Fosse is my cousin. He was the player in the area that everyone aspired to be.” Ultimately, he would find good fortune behind a microphone. “I would play in a little league game in Marion and hang around the park after the games. There wasn’t too much else to do in Marion,” Morgan said. “And at age 14, I did my first game, because the guy who did the PA for little league games had a date that night and he said, ‘I’ll give you a couple packs of baseball cards’ — he knew I loved baseball cards — ‘if you would do the game for me that night.’ And I said, ‘Sure.’ So I did the game.” He would do more PA announcing for local little league games until an impressed man offered him a chance unheard of for a teenager. “Suddenly, still age 14, I was doing the news on Sunday night for an automated radio station. I kinda’ got the radio bug then.” All the while, Morgan still was trying to get a baseball scholarship or play professional baseball. As most boys of his era, he played all sports and tried to walk-on as a football player at Southern Illinois University. “Back in those days, there were no freshman schedules or players, so there were just workouts,” Morgan said. “I got hit a couple of times and I thought, ‘You know what? Radio is much easier than this,’ and so I went into radio full-time and really pursued

Mull cont'd from page 3 that.” Morgan left college and moved to Nashville where his young career would flourish. “Within six months, I was working at a rock station in Nashville doing the news and it took off from there.” But being in Nashville, he naturally transitioned to country music and hit national fame in the late 1970s. “The last three or four years there [in Nashville] my nighttime radio show was on a clear channel station, WSM, and then the last couple years we went to a nationwide network. We were the second satellite-delivered show in America.” The Larry King Show was the first. “My show was artists coming in and telling us where they were going to be and things like that. [The hit CBS television variety show] ‘Hee Haw’ would come to Nashville twice a year and tape, so I would have a ‘Hee Haw’ themed show for a week. The show producer Sam Lovullo came in and said to me, ‘Why don’t you come down to the set and do some cornfield stuff.’” Yes folks, that was Chuck Morgan you saw popping his head up from the cornfield in reruns of “Hee Haw.” “In Nashville you had to work a lot of jobs to make any money. One of the things that happened in 1978 is

that Nashville got a baseball team. And I was pretty good friends with Larry Schmittou who started the minor league Nashville Sounds baseball team. He said, ‘I am looking for a PA guy’ and I was looking to get back into baseball, so I did the PA announcing 1978-80.” In late 1982, Schmittou joined the Texas Rangers as VP of marketing and picked up the phone and called Morgan. “He said, ‘Listen, I know you have a lot going and I know this is a shot in the dark, but would you like to work in the big leagues?’ So I thought about it for about a week, and I love baseball and really wanted to be a part of it.” He has been with the Rangers ever since, except for a one-year stint when coaxed into working for the Kansas City Royals. The next year, the Rangers asked him to come back and it was as if he had never left. Morgan is not just the Rangers PA announcer, he is a Rangers historian and responsible for all in-game entertainment. Because of his versatility in working small market media, Morgan already knew how to edit video tape and cut music tracks. In 1984, the Rangers installed just the second Diamond Vision scoreboard in the major leagues (Dodger Stadium had the first) at Arlington Stadium. He had to come up with interesting things to show on the
scoreboard. “[Sportswriter] Jim Reeves came back from Oklahoma City and said, ‘They’ve got this race they do on the scoreboard and you ought to do something like that,’” Morgan said. “So it took me about a month to design something and make it work. They had the programs to do animation but it was pretty prehistoric. So I came up with these live dots racing. I was involved with sponsorship sales as well, and it really took off when fans could win a free soft drink if they had the winning dot. It was pretty amazing.” Today, Morgan and his staff are responsible for all of the electronic packages at Globe Life Park including two HD scoreboards, ribbon boards around the stadium, musical sets played during batting practice and walk-up music for the players. “It’s like putting together a newscast or a sportscast during the day and having it air at night,” Morgan said. For a night game, Morgan’s day begins at 9:30 a.m. and lasts well after the game’s conclusion. His off-season is spent developing sponsorships and finalizing promotions and giveaways. With that schedule, he is lucky to have a caring wife, Starr, of many years. As Morgan points out, it helps that she is a VP in the Rangers financial department.

MOVIE TRAILER
By Spielberg standards, ‘The BFG’ not big film glory By Chic DiCiccio When some directors miss, they miss in a big way. When Steven Spielberg misses, he directs something like “War Horse,” which gets a “meh” for him but would be a lifetime achievement for most. With “The BFG,” Spielberg is aiming to tug at the heartstrings in the same way that a pudgy alien that made phone calls with a Speak & Spell once did. Considering that movie (“E.T.” in case you weren’t aware) and this Roald Dahl adaptation were both written by the late Melissa Mathison, it would have been a safe bet to assume that Spielberg pulled it off. The verdict? Sort of. This mostly silly adaptation features some of the finest motion capture animation every filmed, but the story stays firmly planted in the fanciful, playful realm without even a hint of the Spielberg melancholy that has made his films a pleasure for adults and children alike. For those not familiar with the book, the story follows orphaned Sophie (Ruby Barnhill) after she discovers that a giant (Mark Rylance)
Photos courtesy of Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures
Ruby Barnhill is introduced as the orphan Sophie in Spielberg's "The BFG." is roaming the streets of London. This big, friendly giant is caught by Sophie while supplying Londoners with their dreams at night. Since he can’t have her telling everyone that he exists, he grabs her up then takes her back to his island. The BFG’s island is also inhabited by a team of meaner and much larger giants that pick on BFG for being the runt. These giants, led by Fleshlumpeater (Jemaine Clement), also happen to eat humans, which offends the vegan lifestyle of the BFG.
Sophie convinces BFG to rid himself of the bullies and, in one of the more surreal and off the wall moments in Spielberg movie history, they enlist the aid of The Queen of England (Penelope Wilson). It’s one of the funnier sequences that Spielberg has ever created and the highlight of the entire movie. There is no doubt that Spielberg greatly benefits from working with his longtime pals, cinematographer Janusz Kaminski and composer John Williams. Thankfully, Kaminski and Spielberg let the fantastic scenery and CGI speak for itself without employing any of the screen f lares or film tint they seem to consistently apply. When paired with a very good Williams score, it makes “The BFG” look, sound and feel exactly how you’d hope it would. The “look” part is the revelation. Mark Rylance’s performance would be half as effective if the CGI wasn’t as fantastic as it is. Every facial expression is flawless and his eyes, whether expressing joy or sadness, are so realistic that it is
borderline creepy. Also, Spielberg and crew couldn’t have picked a better actor than Jemaine Clement to portray the clueless lunkhead Fleshlumpeater. “The BFG” is Ruby Barnhill’s first time on the big screen, and she’s able to hold her own, despite acting alongside CGI for most of the movie. Her character is a bit bossy and a know-itall, which could quickly irk adults, but she stays away from being annoying. Unfortunately, there just seems to be something missing. “The BFG” doesn’t grab you the way a story about an orphan and a small giant in a world of larger giants should. It seems strange to criticize Spielberg, a filmmaker who mostly gets static for being too emotionally manipulative, but “The BFG” could use some heart. It’s almost as if Spielberg was conscious of his own trappings, then did all he could to avoid them. But “The BFG” does have enough bodily function humor to keep the kiddos giggling, which may be what everyone involved was going for in the first place.

BL cont'd from page 1 number of credits, but recalls that while playing Cassie in “A Chorus Line” at Fort Worth’s Casa Manana, she got her union card. Her other local performance credits include Six Flags Over Texas. According to Walsh, the scholarship she earned while performing at Six Flags’ Southern Palace changed the trajectory of her life. Former Vice President of Entertainment and Special Projects for Six Flags Over Texas Michael Jenkins was in New York for the national high school awards competition and said: “Tina is a true professional. She made the students feel comfortable and treated them like adults.” Jenkins is president of LARC, Inc., and former president and managing director of Dallas Summer Musicals. In Las Vegas, Walsh was lead singer in “Jubilee” at the MGM. She originated the lead role of Donna Sheridan in the Las Vegas original cast of “Mamma Mia!” Tina was in “Phantom of the Opera” for eight years. She reprised that role in the international tour of the Andrew Lloyd Webber musical, appearing in eight countries and 10 cities. At the 2016 HSMTA, John Fredrickson won a best actor award for his performance of Bert in “Mary Poppins” at Guyer High School in Denton, where he will be a senior next year. He commented on his experience working with Walsh at the competition: “Tina helped us prepare. She was encouraging and inspirational, and she kept

She helped me prepare myself vocally for the competition. We worked on my support, stamina and placement to provide a way for me to healthfully prepare and use my voice.” The young thespian was awarded a Barry and Fran Weissler Foundation’s $2,500 scholarship. Walsh also mentored Kaiden Maines of Waxahachie High School, who won Dallas’ best actress award for her portrayal of Lady of the Lake in “Spamalot.” Maines won a special recognition scholarship of $2,500 from Tams-Witmark Music Library, Inc. “When the kids came in they didn’t think they were good contenders.

them on what is possible,” Walsh said. She added that her coaching was a rigorous program to bring out their best. According to Jordan: “Our DSM kids were very fortunate to have the opportunity to work with such a consummate professional. Tina was very gracious and generous with her time and talents in working with these talented young performers.” Walsh grew up in White Rock, where she attended St. Bernard’s Catholic School before graduating from Bishop Lynch High School. Today, she lives in her family’s White Rock home. She attended Richland College and graduated from the University of Texas at Dallas. The Dallasite remembers competing for a theatrical award through a Dallas Parks and Recreation summer camp, where she performed in two musicals. Before that she competed in elementary school musical productions and won a best musical ribbon. The actress also has fond memories of being featured in The White Rocker on occasions. Her newer memories are of working with colleagues like Michael Crawford, Tommy Tune, Hugh Jackman, Rick Springfield and many other noteworthy names, along with establishing a friendship with Sir Andrew Lloyd Webber himself. “It is important to pay it forward. You get these skills as gifts from wonderful teachers, actors and directors, and it’s rewarding to pass that on,” Walsh said.
Your Stars this Week The coming week will see the stars align in such a way as to promote the confluence of ideas and plans, theories and practicalities, ability and opportunity, and to give priority to expertise and know-how. This, in turn, will make it possible for many things to begin to come to fruition after having been in the works for a long while. Those who are at the helm of important projects will find that the harder they work, the more they will enjoy opportunities that arise — and the more accolades they are likely to receive. It's not the case that material rewards should be expected — but such things are ultimately less important than what a good job can do for one's reputation.

Here’s a new one: Barndominiums

By Stephan Sardone
stephan@sardoneconstruction.com Barndominiums — metal homes with inside living quarters — are becoming more popular this year. The pros outweigh the cons when it comes to this affordable, low-maintenance trend. Don’t worry, this home doesn’t have to look like a metal building. It can look like any barn you want, and there are endless possibilities on the inside. With so much available space and design flexibility, you can allow your creativity to soar. When you’re ready to build a home, you might imagine the long, arduous process laid out months ahead of you. From all the surprises and quirks of remodeling to the financial difficulties that come with it, building a home can be a dreaded chore. Fortunately, it’s much faster to build a barndominium than your average single family home. This is the perfect option for people who like to party — or simply entertain. Holidays, pool parties, Easter egg hunts, you name it; this home has room for everyone and makes outside accessible to guests. With the option to have a large porch and insulated barn doors on either side of the house, it creates a fun and welcoming atmosphere that connects you with the land you live on. The best part? These don’t cost any more than a regular home. Not only do these metal homes have low external maintenance requirements, lower taxes and insurance costs, but they are built to withstand hurricane-force winds. With all the storms and power outages we’ve had lately, a barndominium would be very beneficial to keeping things in place. Because they are so customizable, there’s a lot you can do with your barndominium, inside and out. Either keep the open concept or section it off into separate rooms with regular framing. It’s more common to leave the open concept of the barn and then create bedrooms off the main living room or build upward. Add a second floor, sliding barn doors to divide up spaces, and add on that wraparound porch. Candy cont'd from page 8 meetings were held to help fund the George W. Bush library. John Tolleson, a trustee of SMU, entertained George W. Bush Presidential Library Foundation donors here to help fund the library at SMU. Below the entertainment area, complete with scullery (housing warming drawers and cooled cold drink storage) is a walk-in wine cellar and two powder rooms — one formal, one casual. This is also the home of a full commercial kitchen that could service a large restaurant: Hobart, Viking, grill, exhaust, safety floor mats, concrete floor, stainless counters and storage, and a full elevator plus stairs to move food up on carts. Word is, more than 300 have been feted from this kitchen. About the home's vast entertainment capabilities: This portion was designed so a tent could be placed between the greenhouse and the party pavilion, smoothly and elegantly covering the terraced gardens. Guests can meander freely through the gardens to the greenhouse and back to the main pavilion. A total sound system is wired in every structure and covers the entire property. There are also triple layers of exterior security cameras everywhere. Nestled between the greenhouse and the east (limo) garage is a sand volleyball court. Since there is still plenty of acreage, the Tollesons installed a playground for grandchildren. But the very eastern edge of the estate holds a high powered CEO's biggest fantasy: a private putting green. This one was designed with a small babbling brook running through it, spanning the northern portion of the property. Natural, soothing water sounds take you right out of University Park. Nestling the brook is a thicket of trees, most

Metal homes are a hot new trend in affordable living. A common feature of the barndominium is a large kitchen. Make the most of all the space you have and fill it with the large pizza oven or island. Barns tend to have vaultStephan Sardone ed ceilings with exposed wood beams that give a very high-end rustic feel. Some people even use wood as the main material throughout the home, and thanks to high ceilings, the space won’t feel closed in or overwhelming. The romantic appeal of the barn home is that you still get that modern home interior with the vibe of living inside a barn, which many find charming and homey. This would be a great move for the whole family and can be the place everyone gathers for Thanksgiving this year. Stephan Sardone is owner of Sardone Construction and has been helping people improve their life by remodeling their home around their life. native, including one that is said to be at least 100 years old, that serve as a buffer to the street, which is still yards away. There is a charming, lit stepping stone path through this thicket that is almost like walking through the woods. Yes — woods — in the middle of University Park. I can only imagine the delight this “forest” has brought to generations of children. Then there is the limo or “east garage;” two huge bays with 700 square feet of air conditioned storage above. This is where many of the Cole Smith custom designed candelabras and candles are stored, along with the holiday decor this home is noted for. And that, my friends, is the Tolleson estate. Yes, this is a lavish estate, one of the five most lavish in the Park Cities. The total square footage is north of 16,000. It is a rare opportunity to own almost 3 acres in University Park on one of the most desirable streets in North Texas. But glancing back at the home from the far reach of the putting green, I could sense that unlike so many grand estates built by billionaires where budgets were no higher than the sky, this one actually has a spirit, a feeling of fun and love, of family and purpose. It's the reason why we house our families in the first place. And this is a home created of classic design and rock solid craftsmanship. Though it was created in the 1990s, the style is truly timeless. Now another lucky family can enjoy it for years to come, more happy children and grandchildren meandering through those in-town woods.

Blatt has bright food, blah service By Sara Newberry The first thing I thought when I heard about Blatt Beer & Table was “BLATT? What’s a BLATT?” Now I know that the restaurant is named for Rosenblatt Stadium in Omaha, Neb., where the chain began. The Preston Hollow branch is the first one outside of Omaha. The second thing I thought was “Oh, great, another sports and beer restaurant. That’s exactly what Dallas needs.” But Blatt is not your typical sports-oriented restaurant that focused on getting the TVs right and treated the food as an afterthought. In fact, it seems like just the opposite. The menu leans toward beerhall-type foods, with plenty of brats and wursts to accompany the wide selection of beers available. But there are also quite a few other options for those of us who want something with a little less oom-pah-pah. The Blatt Burger was a good mix of both: topped with Guinness-braised onions, it also featured parmesan-peppercorn aioli and was served on a pillowy brioche bun. It was an excellent burger with just enough originality to set it apart from a standard burger. The Blatty Melt takes you a little closer to the beer hall, but also to the deli; it’s bratwurst patty served on rye topped with Russian dressing and kraut. It’s such a genius pairing, I’m surprised I haven’t seen it on other menus. Fish and Chips is a nod to another beer-loving culture, and this version stands up to the others around town. The fish was crisp on the outside and moist on the inside. The fries were salty and crunchy. The coleslaw served alongside had zero seasoning, but it had excellent crunch. It’s served in a cut-open paper bag, which is a fun touch. The Bread and Spread is a perfect way to begin a meal at Blatt. The board is loaded with grilled bread, beer cheese and spicy house-made pickles. (I recommend adding the suggested smoked sausage.) The bread is chewy from the grill, the beer cheese is creamy and flavorful, and the pickles are just sweet and spicy enough to be craveable. Strips and Dip, a pile of chicken strips with a choice of sauce, can be made adult-oriented (with sriracha buffalo sauce) or kid-friendly (classic, with gravy or honey mustard). They were golden and crisp, and the serving was large enough that my friend couldn’t finish it. Blatt Mac contained cheddar and Havarti and is a baked version, with bread crumbs and a sprinkle of paprika. It was fine, but not so impressive that I would make a special trip. Like the main menu, desserts range from beer-laden (beer float) to not as much (bread pudding). We tried the bread pudding, drizzled with maple syrup and topped with a brown butter ice cream. It was tasty — we ate the whole thing — but it was more reminiscent of French toast than actual bread pudding. The ice cream was a little over-churned and had some bits of solidified butter in it. So the food at Blatt Beer and Table is pretty consistently good across the board. But the service is another issue. They are very friendly and knowledgeable. Our servers seemed

But on our first visit, we sat at our table for more than 20 minutes before our beer order was taken, then another 20 before the beers arrived at the table. They were a little busy, but two tables more than a party of four received — and finished — their meal before we got beers. When the food did arrive (about an hour in), it all showed up at once, so we were kind of rotating from what we’d thought would be a starter to our entrées. Again, it was all tasty, but I’d rather have a starter first, then my entrée. (I chalked it up at the time to a stressed served just trying to get food to us, but the same thing happened another time. They may want to revisit that.) Full disclosure, we were accommodated by the manager for the wait: he bought our “starter” and a round of drinks. But the service was what I’d call casual on a second visit as well, a Monday night with a half-empty restaurant. (And I heard of another friend experiencing long waits at lunch when her table was the only occupied one in the place.) If Blatt can get the service on the same level as the food, they will be welcomed with open arms. I sure hope that happens. Blatt Beer & Table

Sometimes this information might be available on their websites. If you know a real estate broker with significant knowledge of your immediate neighborhood, you might consider speaking with them about this issue. Consider consulting experts to help you answer the

basic questions you’ll have as you make this decision. Start with trusted financial professionals who can offer a second opinion on what you’re planning to do, how much you want to spend, and what particular tax issues may arise when it’s time to sell. If you need to borrow to renovate, that means it’s time to make sure your credit reports are accurate and you are prequalified or pre-approved for your loan based on what is required. In short, do your homework before you renovate your home. Bottom line: In 2016, home renovation is far from a home run. Know how long you’re planning to stay in the home before you start and make sure the project you choose makes sense for your local marketplace or you won’t get your money back.
