Premiered as a BBC1 telefilm, now flaunting its wasteful widescreen in theaters, Toast adapts the autobiography of Nigel Slater, a popular British food writer looking back in condescension on the Midlands of his youth. The film begins in the middle-class Wolverhampton home where young Nigel is raised on a tinned-food...
Urbandale is a surprise, a tidy, easily missed neighborhood bordering Pleasant Grove in southeast Dallas. There are liquor stores and tattered strip malls not far away, but here it feels lush, secluded. Trees with trailing limbs line a curving road. The houses, brightly colored and neatly fenced, sit on gentle...
It's been more than a decade since the federal suit first surfaced: Betty Dukes v. Wal-Mart Stores Inc., the sexual discrimination lawsuit that would eventually lead to a class-action suit and the book Selling Women Short: The Landmark Battle for Worker's Rights at Wal-Mart, whose author often compared the lead...
A couple weeks back we told you Mean Greens, UNT's sparkly new all-vegan joint, is set to open in a couple weeks. Well friends, that day was Monday, and thanks to some subtle snark from the previous post that resulted in a challenge from a commenter, I felt it necessary...
On a brisk December evening, Highland Park Village is awash in light. Tiny white bulbs blanket every branch and every twig of every tree along the sidewalks, illuminating the high-end shops and storefronts in their golden glow. The scene's almost akin to the Griswolds' family Christmas, there are so many...

So happened that Anna was hanging out at Chase Tower earlier today awaiting Occupy Dallasites who said they were going to parade, two by two, into the bank to close their accounts and transfer their dough into a credit union. Which is why Anna was joined by two very bored...
Actually, you probably just want better streets -- most of Dallas does. But a Complete Streets PowerPoint prepared for tomorrow's council briefing, during which redistricting will probably eat up most of the morning, reveals the findings of a Collective Strength survey conducted in August by Promark Research, during which 518...
I've taken one spin through Tom Waits's forthcoming Bad as Me, which is every bit as good as they say -- Rain Dogs redux times 10, turned up to 11. Hear for yourself: Anti- Records is streaming the lit-with-a-torch "Back in the Crowd" and the titular trash-can growl. Record's out...
We won't blame you if you didn't make it out to the Double Wide last night to check out the official after-party for our Dallas Observer Music Awards Ceremony, held earlier in the night at the House of Blues. It's been a long week of partying and rocking out, y'all.But,...
Linda Dee Guy is a printmaker, a collagist, a painter. But she's more than that. She's a historian too. She's a visionary. And she's a scientist. Guy's work is full of patterns: ones she has created, ones she's found, ones she has manipulated, repeated, and made into something wholly new...
Not all open-mic rap competitions are as friendly as the ones down in Deep Ellum these days, apparently: Multiple guns were reportedly fired and eight different people were injured by gunfire late on Friday night during a "Rap-Off Contest" taking place at Rolls Royce Club in North Dallas, near the...

On the night of September 18, as heavy thunderstorms blew through Dallas, neighbors on West Woodin in Oak Cliff heard a "heavy, muffled boom," they told a CBS 11 crew. A small apartment behind a house -- little more than a converted, detached garage just a stone's throw from R.L...

Art happens, no matter what. Neither poverty, madness, clueless critics or an unappreciative public can kill the relentless drive to re-imagine the world. Sadly, however, all but a lucky few artists must waste valuable creative energy in soul-crushing regular jobs to survive. But no amount of dog-walking, poop-scooping, telemarketing, sperm-donating...

While the rest of Deep Ellum bounced from music venue to serious slices on Friday night, I sat in a small makeshift restaurant in an unmarked building on Elm Street. The simple gray structure typically hosts My Private Chef, a Dallas-based food service that provides pre-cooked meals customers can eat...
Last Night: The Misfits, Juicehead, Hood Rat, Electric Vengeance, The Hammercocks Trees November 14 Better than: carving Crimson Ghost jack-o-lanterns with Evilive on. The Misfits might have delivered a much more satisfying set last night than Glenn Danzig's recent train-wreck performance at this year's Fun Fun Fun Fest. Yet their...

Talk about your good timing: Last night, Dallas City Hall sent word that the American Planning Association yesterday released its list of the Great Places in America, which is divvied into three categories -- Great Neighborhoods, Great Streets and Great Public Spaces.
