Casa View, Dallas
Casa View is a residential neighborhood in Dallas, Texas, United States, located near White Rock Lake in the northeastern portion of the city. The area has traditionally been nearly synonymous with the adjoining Casa Linda neighborhood.
In the 1960s Casa View was mostly White and Protestant and Roman Catholic. By the early 1990s it became mostly Hispanic.[1]
Shopping
The hub of shopping activity in the area, particularly in the 1960s and 1970s, was Casa View Shopping Center. Sears opened a store in there at Gus Thomasson Road and Ferguson roads in 1964. J.C. Penney was another anchor tenant.[citation needed]
It is also remembered as the home to a dance studio where Texie Waterman (November 25, 1931 - October 14, 1996) selected and coached the Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders. The squad made its inaugural appearance in the 1972-73 football season. She was the instructor through 1983.[2]
Another long-term tenant in the shopping center is Charles Blaylock Realtors. Blaylock was a Dallas firefighter who opened the agency in 1956. According to the Dallas Morning News as of 2006, he is "still at it and uses the moniker 'King of Casa View.'" [3]
