On the other side are two surveillance cam videos the Dallas Police Department just posted to YouTube as part of its ongoing effort to enlist the public whenever the department needs some extra eyeballs. In this instance, the department says that two men, at least one of whom carries a…
Linda Gray wasn’t sure she’d be able to attend. But yes, she and Larry Hagman were most definitely in Oak Cliff last night, as evidenced by this photo taken by the great Max Hartman, who graciously allowed us to share on Unfair Park…
Finally, a Tweet from Cowboys’ receiver that we can sink our teeth into. This from Dez Bryant last Friday night at 11:28: Just finished eating with chase crawford,Tony romo Keith and Aundre gurode…had a good time Not real sure about hanging out with Chace Crawford considering his little legal problem from…
Looks like Mike Morath’s going to become a Dallas Independent School District trustee earlier than he’d expected. He was already running unopposed for Jack Lowe’s North Dallas-Near East Dallas District 2 seat, which is one of the reasons why the district canceled the May 14 elections. (Carla Ranger and Adam…
A couple times this year I’ve questioned manager Ron Washington’s use — overuse? — of Rangers’ releiver Neftali Feliz. Like in the season opener, when Wash inserted Feliz to get the final three outs of a 9-5 win. And two days later when Feliz again pitched in a four-run win…
If nothing else, the timing’s certainly good: Just three days after Mayor Dwaine Caraway branded mayoral candidate Mike Rawlings the “Payday Loan King” in a series of ads to which Rawlings later responded, the city council’s Budget, Finance & Audit Committee is about to take up the subject of how…
8. We can talk about Brandon Roy’s constant ravaging of Dallas on isolation plays, but to me the biggest possession of the game came with the Mavs up 67-44 late in the third quarter. Instead of a simple bounce pass to a wide-open and cutting Peja Stojakovic that would’ve pushed the lead…
We spent much of Saturday in the Arts District, where the 7-year-old who lives in my house went trick-or-treating amongst the hundreds of Earth Day Dallas vendors handing out an ironic number of non-biodegradable goodies. At which point the boy pointed to the under-construction building across the street from Booker…
By now construction crews were supposed to have hung several Calatrava cables, or what Schutze calls “Margaret Hunt Hill’s Gee Strings.” But wind gusts in recent weeks have grounded construction workers; hence, but the two at present. And so it falls to Chris Heinbaugh to finish the task: During yesterday’s…
The battle over Yvonne A. Ewell Townview Center — which Dallas Independent School District Michael Hinojosa is splitting up in order to excise five of its seven principals next school year, over parents and Carla Ranger’s objections — has reached The New York Times, via its relationship with the Texas…
Speaking of great shows at Moody Coliseum …Floating out in the ether, all by its unmarked lonesome, is this resonant echo: R.E.M. at Moody Coliseum on November 18, 1987 — a stop along The Work Tour in support of that year’s Document, the band’s fifth and final album for I.R.S…
Larry Hagman’s already in Dallas — downtown, to be specific, where the once and future J.R. Ewing will speak at 11 this morning and again at 2 this afternoon during Earth Day Dallas doings. (Jock would be so ashamed.) Then, tomorrow night at around 8, Hagman is scheduled to stop…
Mike Rawlings called this evening to discuss, sort of, those ads in which Mayor Dwaine Caraway blasts the mayoral candidate as the “Payday Loan King,” a reference to Rawlings’s six-year stint on the board of directors of Ace Cash Express — the very sort of high-interest, short-term lender that local…
If you were out downtown this morning, you might’ve spotted that crowd in the photo above, marching down Main carrying a cross and signs. Every now and then, they stopped to catch attention from construction workers and dog-walkers, and to preach about something they said has been missing from any…
I was cleaning out the office last weekend and came across my copy of the 166-page indictment that eventually led a parade of people to the Earle Cabell thanks to that low-income housing development corruption case at Dallas City Hall. I didn’t know what to do with it, so I…
The two-day Earth Day Dallas celebration kicked off in the Arts District at 10 this morning, and right from the start it was absolutely packed — thanks to the Trammell S. Crow-sponsored event planners, who footed the bill to bring in 200 busloads of kids from all over the Dallas…
Repealing verified response quickly rose to the top of Tom Leppert’s to-do list shortly after he become mayor in June 2007. The controversial program required business owners to have someone at the scene of a burglar alarm to verify that a break-in had actually occurred before police would respond. Not…
Moments ago, during Robert Ashley’s show on KHVN-AM, an ad ran attacking mayoral candidate Mike Rawlings and his ties to Ace Cash Express — though it never mentions Rawlings by name. The speaker: none other than Dallas Mayor Dwaine Caraway, who is supporting legislative efforts to exclude payday lenders as…
As you’re no doubt aware, American Airlines’ flight attendants and service workers have long been at odds with the Fort Worth-based carrier over new contracts, leading to an endless parade of protests — including ones at Dallas-Fort Worth International during Super Bowl week and one on Wednesday at JFK in…
On Monday the city council’s Transportation and Environment Committee will devote its entire meeting to the subject of streetcars. In fact, there’s a field trip involved, as council members will bus out to Dallas Area Rapid Transit’s Northwest Rail Operating Facility to once again get a good look at that…
If you’re headed down to Earth Day Dallas, which begins right about now in downtown and runs through tomorrow, you’re invited to check out the mammoth map of the Trinity River Corridor Project that’ll be on display between Booker T. and the AT&T Performing Arts Center. (Above, that’s just a…
10. As we suspected, Portland’s team is pretty salty. But their fans suck. Booing Mark Cuban is cool. Throwing shit at him is lame. 9. The Mavs are the NBA’s best road team the last two regular seasons, but they’re now 2-14 in their last 16 playoffs games away from…
