The week in review" 5/16 - 5/22

So the news came in on Saturday... The Eviction won Best Documentary Short from the Texas Ultimate Shorts Festival. Pretty darn cool??? You betcha. It has some upcoming festivals so it will be interesting to see if it gets in or not.

One of the subjects of the doc is CitySquare ( https://www.dallasnews.com/news/east-dallas/2015/01/03/citysquare-center-moves-to-south-dallas-spreading-opportunities--and-hope ).
