A small community close to downtown Dallas, which has a suburban feel and is known for being the old money part of dallas. Many girls from here grow up to become debutantes for la fiesta and dallas symphony orchestra league. The boys grow up to be in the honor guard and attend business school at SMU, Texas, and various prestigious colleges. Many of the people here are stereotyped as spoiled rich brats, but not everyone deserves this label, although there are people who most definitely do. Highland Park high school is a public school but may as well be private considering the rate of ivy league admittance and the number of kids who belong to exclusive country clubs such as brookhollow country club or dcc. Not everyone at the high school is rich but almost no one is below middle class, and you will be looked down on if you don't live in a million+ home. The people in HP are generally very good looking and the women and their daughters spend lot of time on themselves to keep it that way. There are many trophy wives with charge accounts at Neiman Marcus but many people are just educated people who have had success in life. Most people here are WASPs and conservatives, and HP probably funded a large portion of George W Bush's presidential campaign.
"omg, caroline did you see that debutante who fell down during her presentation because she was drunk off champagne, those highland park debutantes sure are beautiful though!"

May 22 Word of the Day
A moment that is generally agreed to have had a significant influence on pop culture and everyday life. While the term was coined by Rose McGowan in context of the #MeToo movement, and is mostly associated with the K-pop community, the phenomenon is universal and a basic component of how culture works.

Real world events such as social/political movements, the election of a new U.S. President, major catastrophes and disasters, as well as entertainment such as movies, music and TV, can all function as cultural resets. Notable cultural resets in relatively recent memory include:

* The Beatles appearing on the Ed Sullivan show in 1964
* The Watergate scandal of 1974
* The release of Nevermind by Nirvana in 1991
* The September 11, 2001 attacks
* The election and inauguration of Barack Obama in 2009
* The COVID-19 pandemic
"The Nineties politically started with the fall of the Berlin Wall on November 9, 1989 and the Soviet Union dissolving on December 26, 1991, and ended with both the 2000 Presidential election which saw the victory of George W. Bush and the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001 which left people so stupefied that it functioned as something of a cultural reset button." - TV Tropes' article on the 1990s

The girls are beautiful, the boys are well-groomed and cocky. The women are nosy and annoying (especially if mothers), and the men are aggressive and self-affirming. Money is everywhere, causing many people to simply throw change into trash cans. If you enjoy the eternal presence of cops, this is the place for you. Minorities beware: The people will act like they aren't afraid of you, but they are really terrified. Never has such a small community had so many specialized community newspapers. If you enjoy frequent ecounters with reality, do not move into Highland Park.
Hey ya'll, lets go to the burger place in Highland Park and look at all the beautiful people.

A small community in Dallas, Texas often referred to as the bubble. Lots of people diss HP but its really not that bad. People are PARTLY right in saying people here are snobby and rich, but saying that we are ALL really rude and snobby isn't fair though because there still some nice people who live here. We are used to expensive clothes and food, but that doesn't mean that none of us deserve it. Many people who live here own businessess and are doctors or other professions that bring in a large cash flow. People from HP are often called Parkies. Please don't pay attention to the definitions that say we are sooooooo rich and soooooo awesome and everyone is just mad because we are so much cooler than them! Those are the people in Highland Park who are conceited, spoiled brats who have access to their parents money and credit cards and can do anything they want. The majority of us are nice!
The Majority of the people in Highland Park are not snobby!

A community north of downtown Dallas, Texas. Highland Park has the biggest concentration of the following you will probably ever see: Skinny, cute blonde girls, cocky, athletic boys, and old money. Many people see Highland Park as a small community where you are looked down upon if you don't drive a BMW at 16 or wear Armani to school every day. Anyone who says this has never gotten to know kids in Highland Park. Kids dress essentially the same as any other high school in America, and drive average cars. Some kids drive very expensive cars, but most kids pay for their own.

Also HP is often called the "bubble" because unless you have a reason to go outside of HP (i.e. work, school, etc) there is no reason to. It has everything you could ever need in this 25 square mile community. HP is also the most expensive community to live in within Texas.

The landscape is a very tightly compacted residential area with a very large house popping up every once in awhile. This is because way back in the day people bought small houses on small lots in HP, but now people are buying ajacent lots and building large houses on them.

Highland Park High School has consistently made Newsweek's Top 25 American High Schools. This is because of their superb academics, and they also have one of the greatest overall athletic programs anywhere in the United States. So far, this year they have been state champions in football, golf, girl's swimming & diving, tennis, and wrestling. And we havent even concluded spring sports.
