Here's a press release I got. They appear to be serious. About what I have no idea. Hurricane Sandy left millions of Americans without power while wreaking havoc on New York City. While most sought solace from the storm with nearby family or friends, many students living in New York...

Jack Bewley and Jeff Finkel have spent the last several years methodically strengthening their position in the Dallas taxi market. Their company, Irving Holdings, was established with the merger of five local cab companies. In 2007, they brought Freedom, Eagle and Jet taxi companies. Earlier this year, they brought State,...
Pop culture and music writer Dan Solomon, who until recently contributed to CultureMap's Austin and Houston sites, says his byline is no longer welcome at the digital-media venture. Apparently, corporate didn't take too kindly to this post on his personal blog, critical of CultureMap Dallas managing editor Claire St. Amant's...
I can't believe burger week is coming to a close, but it had to end sometime. One can only eat so many burgers before enjoyment is lost and the cheese from one burger experience melts into another. We had six smackdowns that each pit two popular Dallas burgers against one...

Her Corsage Has Seen Better Days
A couple weeks back we told you that comedy rainmaker Judd Apatow was in Dallas to promote his fourth directorial effort, This is 40, a sort-of spin-off of 2007's Knocked Up. As part of that press tour, Apatow -- who also directed 40-Year-Old Virgin and Funny People -- spent one...

As I walk into Dan's Silverleaf fresh off a particularly difficult serving shift at a pan-Asian joint just across town in Denton, the roughly 150 people in attendance are scattered throughout the bar. It's cold this Thursday evening, but many still huddle outside, smoking, drinking and sharing fellowship, their steamy...

YES MAN - We've Got A Fainter - watch more funny videos Chicken is a really complicated subject for me. Not because I love or hate it. I can take it or leave it. But, things got complicated in mass comm class in college when a hippie delivered a very...
Standing near the entrance of SMU's Hope Lobby at the Meadows School of the Arts, with its inscrutable black body fixed next to a bright wall of windows, "Monument to Berezovsky" makes for convincing and disciplined political art. It's a guest here, and it looks uncomfortable in the setting. The...
On Sunday, the Morning News' Tanya Eiserer took a lengthy peek at DPD staffing trends; what she found can best be described as alarming. Over the past two years, the number of detectives assigned to work the city's most pressing crimes has plummeted by 46 percent. The number of homicide...

In the years leading up to the collapse of Hostess — baker of Wonder Bread, Twinkies and Ding Dongs — it wouldn't have required a peek at the company's closely held books to figure out it was in trouble. Ask the guys who baked the snack cakes and bread. Ask...
When I spoke with Dallas Symphony Orchestra Maestro Jaap van Zweden earlier this year, he told me that the Meyerson Symphony Center is, in his opinion, "probably one of the top three halls in the world." "What is very important," he went on, "is not to underestimate the relationship between...
Ted and Shannon Skokos are heavy hitters on the Dallas philanthropy scene. Their names are engraved most prominently at the AT&T Performing Arts Center, into which they poured more than $2 million, but their largesse is wide-ranging, and they give grants that, per their foundation's website, "positively impact society by,...
Damn. Now I have to send Roland Dickey's barbecue book back to him. I got it a few days back. It was a gift. I looked it up online, and it's worth about 45 bucks with shipping. I want to say something positive about his wife today, so if I...
It was a sweltering afternoon in early July when several DEA agents and police officers showed up at the house at 1215 Lebanon Avenue, a tiny, burnt-orange home fronting some railroad tracks in Oak Cliff. They weren't sure what to expect. It was just a friendly knock-and-talk, meaning they had...

As we've mentioned more than once, Dallas Animal Services has been dealing with a few serious unresolved issues, some of them stretching back years: the HVAC system in the shelter doesn't work and apparently never really has, leading to stifling temperatures in the summer months; the shelter and field divisions...
As the sands in the hourglass run out here at DC9 HQ, and making year-end lists feels more like penance than pleasurable mental exercise, we thought we'd take a break from quantifying albums and concerts, and instead qualify some of our favorite posts from the last year with an, "Oh...
When I compiled tips for grilling burgers this summer, I felt bad that I left out home cooks who don't have access to a grill. To make up for the shortcoming, I challenged chef Nathan Tate at Boulevardier to cook us up a burger like he might at home: no...
I'm fascinated with Indian cooking. Obsessed. I love the way cooks build layers of flavor and aroma with onions and other aromatics, a cadre of spices and a long, slow simmer. If you've ever cooked a robust curry in your kitchen, you know that the smell that overtakes your entire...
