It Goes Deeper Than Late Fees
It's finally here. Pinch yourself. Your Texas Rangers are back in the World Series, and this time feels much different than last year's playoff run. There's a confidence flowing through my body that just wasn't there before, and I suspect the players feel the same way. Don't get me wrong...
First, an apology: Patrick's all out of good photos of Maurine Dickey, Clay Jenkins and John Wiley Price at that very first media what-for during which the unholy trinity acknowledged that mistakes had been made and that many Dallas County deputy constables had lied about serving papers to, among others,...
At 10 this morning on the steps of the Heman Marion Sweatt Travis County Courthouse, Rais Bhuiyan, who was shot in the face by white supremacist Mark Stroman as part of a post-September 11, 2001 shooting spree, will announce that he's filing suit today against Gov. Rick Perry and other...
Earlier this month, Dallas Police reported finding the body of 18-year-old Jonathan Sierra in a room at the Aloft Hotel downtown, across from Dallas City Hall. DPD suspected that the Skyline senior, who'd been to his senior prom and was all set to graduate, died of alcohol poisoning. At the...

I'm killing time at this point ... and this bottle of Old Fitzgerald. And while we wait for the county to update its election totals, I'm reading tomorrow's New York Times, which is full of local-interest stories -- more than our own daily, probably. Like this nice piece about Dallas...
On Thursday morning, the Dallas Independent School District's board of trustees will take its first long, hard look at a proposal to "streamline the process for implementing a charter school." It's the result of months of work by the board's Charter School Ad Hoc Committee, which was tasked with exploring...
The National Archives is holding an exhibit on the government's influence (or lack thereof) over American eating habits. According to the promotional website, the "What's Cooking, Uncle Sam?" exhibition shows how "Government has been a factor in the production, regulation, research, innovation and economics of our food supply. It has...
Fair to Midland are a difficult act to explain. For starters, there's the music, an unholy blend of influences that touch on everything from metal to prog rock to, in some rare instances, pop. Then there's frontman Darroh Sudderth's mind-blowing vocals; the guy's a hero, nonchalantly flipping from shrieking to...
Back in October, Sam wrote for the paper version of Unfair Park a lengthy piece about Dallas County's relatively new veterans court, which gives second chances to soldiers who come home from war -- some damaged in some way, many broke, most alone -- and turn to drugs or lives...
Michael Lindenberger had a great piece in The Dallas Morning News yesterday about public distortions of fact by former mayor Tom Leppert and backers of the Trinity Toll Road like the Trinity Commons Foundation before the 2007 toll road alignment referendum. The main thing the story got across was that...

Young women have been known to do any number of crazy things in order to cover the price of their nuptials. It's no wonder considering how expensive weddings are these days. But Rebekah Rutledge and her fiancé Stephen Kirkpatrick went off the proverbial hook when it comes to securing what...
From the beginning of last night's forum at the Avalon at Kessler Park, questions from the crowd of nearly 100 District 3 residents focused squarely on natural gas drilling and incumbent city council member Dave Neumann's ties to the industry. Neumann said the city is monitoring the results of several...
A long-time Deep Ellumite gave me a tip the other day: If you want to see a cool place where a guy with a great beard makes motorcycles from scratch, check out the gray building on Main Street.So I did, and that's where I met Aaron Kaufman, the 29-year-old self-taught...
Among the hodgepodge of videos to which we linked only yesterday are a handful of particular note today, as Texans mourn the death of Bill Clements -- the 94-year-old Dallas native, two-time Texas governor, U.S. Deputy Secretary of Defense under Nixon and Ford and chair of SMU's board of governors...
Kung Fu Panda 2 opened yesterday, just in time for the big box office Memorial Day weekend. The sequel to the charming martial arts cartoon will no doubt do massive ticket sales, but it won't be the first time an Asianploitation picture cleans up at the movies. Asian culture has...
As an artist/writer in Dallas you feel a bit like you're stationed at an outpost to complete a mission. You have a sense of space around your creative work, and I find that crucial.

What if there was a bulbous bearded man from generations ago, and then his head was splattered in such an excited rush of sporadic color that somehow the form of Popeye made it's way into the mix as a momentarily logical inclusion? What if there was an unidentifiable animal corpse...
While contemplating defensive coordinator Dwane Casey's departure to be the Toronto Raptors' head coach and whom they should take with the 26th pick in Thursday's NBA Draft, a couple more Mavs-related items buzzed through my brain this week. 1. Who from the championship team should have their number raised to the roof in...
Sure, you're satisfied this morning -- you just woke up in a city planning for a championship parade, dang it. But how 'bout the rest of the year? Reason I ask: On Wednesday the city council will get a look at the 2011 Community Survey, where, long story short, the...
Most Americans see Mexican cuisine through queso-colored glasses, content to crack open a box of store-bought hard-shell tortillas, stuff them with something fatty and vaguely chili-flavored and call the result "Mexican." In Texas, though, some are beginning to understand that Mexican food is more than gelatinous cheese sauces and leaden...
