Mechanics Create Whale of a Playhouse for Kids in Need

In Dallas' NorthPark Center, a village has appeared.  Quirky houses, clearly made for small folks and decorated to beat the band, turn up each year to draw smiles and looks of wonder. The playhouses on display for CASA’s fundraiser offer plenty of “ooh” and “aww” moments... but please don’t hold it against me if I insist that the playhouse SWA Mechanics built is the coolest one. It’s a... read more
