"A lot of times, you can see people just like they’re a little bit tense, and then they get a drink, or they get a first bite of food, and then they just relax and have a new time. There’s no better feeling than that, no better feeling," says Jeff Bekavac. His first solo concept, Goodwins, on Greenville, was created to be a neighborhood spot, polished yet an approachable staple where menu items read as inside neighborhood jokes. ⁠

Lake Highlands native Preston Pannek and his wife Adrienne make up The House of Pannek. The artistic duo, also the masterminds behind Blowouts & Company and Lash Loft, is responsible for the neighborhood sensation Moouis Vuitton, the life-size cow art piece, who made his first appearance in 2022. Moouis has been on tour, replicated, and even started a family of his own. ⁠
⁠
"My wife and I are big art fans ourselves, and I kept seeing people doing sculptures over the last couple years and I was like, ‘Man, Dallas really needs a Dallas sculpture, something that represents what Dallas is.’ We were joking around, and I was like, ‘You know what would be funny? A Louis Vuitton cow, and make it into a purse, we could put handles.’ I was telling my wife the whole thing and she was like, ‘That’s crazy.’ I was like ‘It’s super Dallas, though.’ What’s more Dallas than a cow that looks like a Louis Vuitton? And so we started from that idea," says Preston.⁠
⁠
"The reason why it got so popular is (because) we took it on tour. It just shows up places. Most art pieces stay where they are, and Louis moves around. You never know where he’s gonna pop up."⁠

Maddie Muller, a seventh grader who lives in Lake Highlands, is an ovarian cancer survivor using her journey to raise awareness and bring hope to others facing the disease. ⁠
⁠
“Maddie fell off her own growth curve and stopped growing well,” says Maddie’s mother Jennifer. Her short stature was related to being predisposed to ovarian cancer, and she was diagnosed with ovarian cancer at just 8 years old. ⁠
⁠
Jennifer says that although she works in the medical field as an OBGYN, there was plenty for her and her husband Brett to learn. “There’s not a playbook,” Brett says. “Trying to get clarity on what could impact us in the future, and what things could, if anything, we do preventatively to prepare her for other challenges that are related to having ovaries removed at such a young age.”⁠
⁠
“To see her go from being bald and so sick and so weak to now playing club soccer, thriving in school — it’s been amazing,” Jennifer says. “It was just an amazing turnaround.”⁠
