Even the dog walkers in Highland Park seem to know where George and Laura Bush will be moving when they leave the White House in early 2009. "They're building a house on a piece of property around the corner," said a young woman, pointing south of Beverly Drive as she struggled to control two oversized golden retrievers. "It's going to be a big pain in the neck with the Secret Service there all the time," she predicted of the president's future abode. "When Dick Cheney visited a home in the neighborhood last spring, even the owners couldn't get to their houses." The location of the president's future home has become the biggest guessing game in town. "We've been told five or six locations by people who leave cocktail parties, where everybody is talking about it," said George Patterson, Highland Park's top administrator, who professes to know nothing. *** The White House, of course, wouldn't speculate on future presidential housing. The only public confirmation that the Bushes will move back to Dallas comes from a simple quote attributed to the president in a book released last week. "We'll have a nice place in Dallas," Mr. Bush told Robert Draper, author of the book, Dead Certain, which also noted the president's plan to run a "Freedom Institute" in Dallas that would promote democracy around the world. Of course, it's entirely possible the Bushes have not even started their search for a new home in the Dallas area, which means that this guessing game has only just begun.
