Let's set aside for a moment the niceties of due process and innocent-until-proven-guilty and take Dallas police at their word. We'll take without further cross-examination the claim that they conducted a five-month investigation of Eternal Eden, a regular, all-night rave at Northwest Dallas' Jaguars strip club, and that undercover officers...
At approximately 2 a.m. Saturday, I jerked awake. In my dreams, my mind had constructed a computer that fabricated dreams based on the tone and pitch of my voice, as I read poetry aloud. On this screen of my subconscious there was a forest scene, and over the futuristic speakers...
When Jon Alexis took over TJ's Seafood in 2009, the fish counter was still just a guppy of an enterprise. Sure, it had more than 20 years of fish peddling under its gills, but at that point it was still a small shop tucked into a North Dallas strip mall...

Shane Garner's alleged scam was simple: Set up a reputable-sounding company, i.e. the Credit Alliance Group.

Convince the people who respond that they need to pay the company up front so it can negotiate down...
This is getting weird: That was my first thought as the plate came in for a landing. It looked like a pâté rolled inside a boneless tube of chicken and sliced into thick discs. A plump ravioli was perched on top of each round, mimicking a cartoonish mushroom, and fried...

For a long stretch of summer and well into fall, the flow of actual openings and interesting, new restaurants dried to a trickle; the scene cracked and opened up like Texas clay in a drought...

2014 has been a pretty good year for Dallas music. It's a bit of a cliche for the members of any music community to say their scene is "on the rise," but around here it's pretty hard to argue with. Bands have signed to labels, venues have opened, festivals have...

Three friends were riding their bikes along Turtle Creek after a night out early Saturday when, they say, a French couple in a black Volkswagen pulled up behind them and started honking. While that sounds like typical Turtle Creek driver behavior (minus the French accent), they say the motorist then...

Frieden, director of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and administrator of the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry, speaking on 7/31/2014: "It is not a potential of Ebola spreading widely in the U.S. That is not in the cards."
