President Bush will soon leave Washington, D.C., and return home to Texas, but not to live on the family ranch outside Waco. The first lady wanted to live in Dallas, in the same lovely neighborhood where the family lived before Bush became Texas governor 16 years ago: Preston Hollow. On a beautiful Sunday afternoon recently, cars full of well-dressed Dallasites — fresh from church, with heads leaning out rolled-down windows — paraded past the Bushes' new home. But the parade will end soon. This little section of Preston Hollow is about to become a gated community, courtesy of the United States Secret Service.
"We're certainly annoyed by all the traffic and the gawkers, but we're very excited that the president and the first lady are moving back to Dallas and that they've chosen this neighborhood," said Preston Barry, who moved into a house three doors down from the Bushes' two weeks ago, only to find that he isn't the neighborhood's only new arrival.
Quite a few lawns have "Welcome Home George & Laura" signs, courtesy of a youngster in the neighborhood who had them printed up. There was some debate about whether the signs' familiar use of "George and Laura" might be a tad disrespectful, but in the end it was deemed to be acceptably Texan in style.
This neighborhood is full of Republicans, after all, according to Barry.
