Let us know when you get to the area... sounds like a good excuse to throw a DFW FT gathering since we haven't had one in forever!
NotDuncan is right about the walking although it depends on what end of Heights you live on what you can walk to. I have friends on the eastern end of the neighborhood that always walk when we go out around W. 7th. But on my end (closer to the western part) I have a few restaurants (Luciles, The Original) that I can walk to... but I'm still lamenting the loss of my Starbucks.
