Anyone who frequents the escort section of backpage.com probably already knows this. Ditto for anyone who has given much thought to how police vice units are adapting to an era in which much of the sex trade is orchestrated online. It bears mentioning nonetheless: The Dallas Police Department is posting...
At the Dallas law firm of Carrington, Coleman, Sloman & Bluenthal, LLP, diversity is important. Says so right here on its website. The problem, despite boasts of being "one of the first Dallas law firms to hire women attorneys," is that it's not very good at it. Out of 53...
Lowest Greenville Avenue hasn't been an easy place to run a bar or restaurant. The strip's tainted past, punctuated by a violent July Fourth incident that ended in citations, arrests and more than a dash of pepper spray, has drawn the watchful eye of the Dallas City Council. The resulting...

I first stumbled upon duck fat as an everyday kitchen ingredient about five years ago. I was testing a particularly chefy set of recipes for a magazine, and two of them called for a tablespoon of the stuff. Since I couldn't find it anywhere locally, I ordered rendered duck fat...
It seems like perfect timing. Wait until the masses have eaten so much deep-fried everything on the kitchen table, then artfully offer them a healthy alternative. The Texas Veggie Fair will drop all the veg that's fit to fry on Reverchon Park Sunday, October 20. Arteries are relaxing in a...

There's no definitive way to say how many albums, EPs, mixtapes and other new music came from North Texans in 2013. Bandcamp keeps track of tags, and it has over 400 releases for "Dallas" since mid-April. So figure somewhere well into the thousands. We listened to as many of those...
Science is Awesome has a story about 11-year-old Michal Bodzianowski from Colorado, who recently won a competition sponsored by the National Center for Earth and Space Science Education that will test the effects of zero gravity on brewing.

It was 1:30 a.m. when Cornellias Simon, aka "Bean," burst through the door of the apartment. The tenant watched as Simon staggered for a moment, then collapsed onto the kitchen floor, dead of a gunshot wound to the chest. That was the first surprise. The second was the man who...
