Every month we profile a neighborhood resident who’s also a fan of our Facebook page. If you’re not a fan, become one now … we give away loads of free stuff, nearly every day. And, if you’re interested in answering a bunch of goofy questions and being featured in an upcoming profile, let me know at crobinson@advocatemag.com. Include in the subject line “I want to be a Facebook fan profile” and tell me what neighborhood you live in.

In our September issue is Preston Hollow neighbor Allen Dickey, 45, who’s an attorney along with his wife, Jennifer. They have two children, ages 6 and 2.
