Oh .. and there’s a Twitter account too. I found them all completely by accident — I was looking for something else about an hour ago, then came across his new Web site, where, yesterday, he (or, ya know) announced the launch of his Facebook page, where the mayor promises…
Just one week ago, Noah Jeppson sent us those photos of that suddenly barren corner of Elm and North Harwood, where Lincoln Properties said it had to remove trees severely damaged by contractors working for New York-based Fuel Outdoor, responsible for that Nike ad. A few hours later, Lincoln’s Laurie…
Thank you Jason Terry for acknowledging what a lot of us have been yelling out our TV screens the last two games: To play better, the Dallas Mavericks must play faster. Here’s hoping head coach Rick Carlisle and point guard Jason Kidd get the message. Before it’s too late. Down 3-1…
The filmmakers responsible for the doc about East Dallas fixture Robert Crawford, better known simply as Bob, send word: Days before His Name Is Bob’s debut during the USA Film Festival on Friday at 7 p.m., they’ve set up a new Web site filled with myriad photos, video clips and…
So tomorrow’s shaping up to be a very interesting Dallas City Council meeting: As Rudy Bush wrote yesterday, the mayor’s mighty unhappy with the no-bid concession contracts being doled out to Dallas Love Field Joint Venture and Hudson Retail at Love Field Airport, which council members have been behind for…
Back in February, we directed your attention to forthcoming route changes being proposed by Dallas Area Rapid Transit, which is looking to delete “costly duplications,” especially as the Green Line’s grown. From DART docs:For a number of years, DART service planning efforts have emphasized development of a fully integrated bus…
[Update at 8 p.m.: I just texted Michael Cramer to see if he was still in the hearing. He replied, just now, “Yes, judge is ruling now. Event is on. We have to stage parking elsewhere though.” More to come when he can call.Update at 8:51 p.m.: Cramer says that…
I know. Too easy. Actually, I’m not about to get all self-righteous and call 1310 AM The Ticket hypocritical. In fact, I’m shocked that producer/host Mike Bacsik’s Twitter posts on Mavs-Spurs Game 4 warranted a suspension and not a gold star. Not because they weren’t, as the saying goes, hot sports opinions: Congrats…
… it must be true. Via Burnt Orange Report, here’s some video of Gov. Hairspray and the noted stand-up comic at a town-hall rally in Tyler over the weekend, where Beck and Perry were married by state Rep. Leo Berman. The AP suggests the title of Texan was just, ya…
When last we heard — on March 29, if you’re into specifics — the fountain at Main Street Garden downtown wouldn’t be running but two hours a day (11 a.m. to 1 p.m. every day). And how wow is that? But, look, that’s all Park and Rec can afford right…
The Official Press Release isn’t due from Dallas Theater Center for about another hour or so, but why wait when Playbill’s already got a sneak peek at the cast list for DTC’s forthcoming (re)production of It’s a Bird … It’s a Plane … It’s Superman, which opens June 18 at…
Update: Mike Bacsik was fired by station management Tuesday afternoon.This just in from KTCK-AM — you know, The Ticket: Mike Bacsik, the former footnote in baseball history who became Norm Hitzges’s producer-slash-co-host and weekend show host, has been suspended by the station. Why come? Well, for tweeting nine little words…
Daniel’s on top of the Dallas Independent School District’s efforts to pay pennies on the dollar to Jubilee Park residents and businesses in order to make way for a new O.M. Roberts Elementary School building. He hopes, before the day’s out, to get some kind of response — any kind…
The good news: The Dallas Cowboys likely drafted the NFL’s Offensive Rookie of the Year and a linebacker who will signal the end of the Bobby Carpenter era. The bad news: The Dallas Cowboys still don’t have a play-making free safety or any depth along the offensive line. The Cowboys…
This morning, Frank Librio at City Hall sent two audits released this morning by Craig Kinton — one of which dives into whether or not the Dallas Police Department is properly counting crime stats per federal Uniform Crime Reporting guidelines. You can read the 29-page doc for yourself after the…
Got to Judge Martin Hoffman’s courtroom in the George Allen a few minutes past 9 this morning for a long-scheduled injunction hearing in the case of City of Dallas v. Museum of the American Railroad. It figured to be an interesting hearing, what with all the he said-he said going…
David Dennard just sent some devastating news: Floyd Dakil is dead. Circumstances remain a little murky, but his bandmates in both Floyd Dakil and the Pitmen and the Floyd Dakil Combo confirm that the man behind the quintessential Dallas rock single of the 1960s — “Dance, Franny, Dance,” recorded in…
I grew up with Drew Pearson, covered Michael Irvin and have the highest hopes for Dez Bryant. But should the Cowboys’ rookie receiver from Oklahoma State be allowed to wear the sacred No. 88? The Cowboys revere uniform numbers, but they don’t retire them. Should they? You don’t see No…
Late last night I was looking at the agenda for tomorrow’s Dallas Area Rapid Transit board meeting when I noticed this: The Planning Committee is scheduled to be briefed on the Alternative Analysis/Draft Environmental Impact Statement for the Dallas Central Business District-D2 Study. First I’d heard about it — and,…
Says this morning’s New York Times, sure, when you’re starting out in The Working World, New York is where you’d rather stay — the paychecks are bigger (that’s “the New York premium,” which I was offered for $5 in Times Square back before it was scrubbed up), and the delis…
10. Spurs’ rookie DeJuan Blair is a beast. Sunday he had seven points and seven rebounds in 11 minutes and even placed an elbow in Dirk Nowitzki’s ear to bait him into a technical foul. Roddy Beaubois may grow into the Mavs’ point guard of the future, but some of…
Every so often I like to post the pack of memos Frank Librio sends to council and media at the end of every week; below are the ones that went out late Friday. And it so happens that the very first item is covered in a story by Rudy Bush…
