Dallas Morning News: How the warm smell of popcorn extends the welcome at Dallas’ Scottish Rite for Children
Scottish Rite for Children is known for being a bright, child-friendly place that does not look, feel or smell like a hospital. Across Scottish Rite’s three locations in North Texas, every detail is designed specifically for children.Â
Colorful hallways are kept free of medical equipment and filled instead with the smell of buttery popcorn – volunteers pop 6,000 pounds per year. This signature popcorn scent is symbolic of the Scottish Rite mission of giving children back their childhood. The Dallas Morning News took a look inside this one-of-a-kind place that is made specifically for kids.Â
