Clear Channel owns and operates six radio stations in the Dallas-Fort Worth market: KDGE-FM, KDGE-FM, KEGL-FM, KFXR-AM, KHKS-FM and KZPS-FM. But several times this morning, Friends of Unfair Park have sent this piece from Time Out Chicago that says at any moment, any or all of them could lose their...
Local, the sleek little restaurant in Deep Ellum, opened late in the winter of 2003. It was met with tempered praise from this newspaper, which lauded the elevated simplicity of chef-owner Tracy Miller's modern American cooking, touting her brilliance with fish and gently spooning other praise on a "restaurant unsullied...
Brothers Nolan, Danny, and Pat Wheeler have been performing with their current lineup (along with college classmate Danny Matthews and childhood friend A.J. Molyneaux) for about only 18 months, but in that short time they've already managed to impress a few country luminaries like Ray Benson of Asleep at the...
Dallas' The Strange Boys are turning into quite a prolific act. They've released a record every year since 2007, and this year's Live Music, set to be released next week on Rough Trade Records, follows 2010's gritty and well received Be Brave. But even with the proximity of the two...
"Who are you wearing?" was the first thing I heard as I stepped into the pre-dinner reception at the Sheraton Dallas. "Betsey Johnson," I said to the inquirer. I love events full of gay men. The annual Black Tie Dinner is certainly one of those events. Not that there isn't...

This holiday season, City Hall, the Dallas Police Department and the Dallas County District Attorney's Office would like to remind you not to buy your gifts out of the trunks of cars or through sketchy-seeming eBay sellers. At a packed press conference at City Hall this morning, Mayor Mike Rawlings,...
With a 4 p.m. deadline on the horizon, T.R. Sullivan wasn't hopeful at daybreak: "The word Wednesday morning was that the Rangers' optimism has waned a bit." Sources have been saying in recent days that Japanese pitching sensation and magazine cover boy Yu Darvish wanted a five-year deal, the Texas...
I may have complained about Taverna's dessert plate, but the uninspired closer came after what turned out to be a stellar brunch. Sure, Taverna has the mainstays. You can get eggs Benedict or a dry egg white omelet. You can get a Frittata cooked in their pizza oven and an...
Hold ye ol' britches because this bit of food news could blow them right off. This weekend at the One Arts Plaza Fall Block Party (details in a few), Chef David McMillan of the Screen Door will whip up some "bacon cotton candy." In my quest for more information on...

Earlier this week we came across the website, Drinkify, which claims to "generate the perfect cocktail recipe to accompany any music." Naturally, as fans of both music and all types of alcohol, the site proved to be the perfect happy hour time kill. Our findings? The site is not only...
Last Night: Youth Lagoon, Young Magic, Peopleodian Dan's Silverleaf November 8th, 2011 Better than: watching a televised poker tournament and wondering why people watch poker on television. The now-smoke free interior of Dan's Silverleaf hosted a fine collection of acts--one local, two national, to be exact--as the cold front finally...
For Hunter Hall, this holiday season is different from any other he's experienced in his 28 years. At the beginning of October, the singer and his band Folk Angel began recording their third album of Christmas music, something they've done every year since 2009. Around midnight on October 22, Hall...
Abstract paintings can appear so abstract that it's difficult to interpret meaning from the crowded geometric shapes or intersections of paint splashes and splotches. Abstract painter David Collins layers abstract images on each other in his works, but the result is not an onslaught of imagery that leaves one looking...
The Sigel's Winter Food Truck Festival grew out of its pants before it even got them on. The store's first festival was on a brilliant August day and drew over 2,000 people, all of whom risked melting into the pavement just for a gourmet grilled cheese sandwich. Given the anticipated...

Seven days. I've got seven days till the greatest holiday of all time commences, and I haven't done a thing to prepare. Once an avid home cook, I've prepared, no exaggeration, one meal since I moved here in July. A bowl of steel cut oatmeal, laced with sweet Texas honey...
Buried between the lines in a 246-page document released by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers today is a significant national story about the future of flood control in American cities. I doubt very many reporters will dig it out. I'll give you the thumbnail sketch. You may wish I...
Said it yesterday: Many interesting agenda items on the Dallas ISD board's to-do list Thursday. Among them is an update on that teacher evaluation system, of which we've taken note a few times in recent months as trustees spend the next year figuring out how to best grade the graders...
It was tequila. I was maybe 20 and celebrating a birthday with a friend from college. We split a bottle straight down the center, slamming shots with lime and salt while nursing beer to keep "hydrated." You know how this story ends: We lay on the floor for nearly eight...
