On the other side is a memo City Manager Mary Suhm sent to the city council and Mayor Tom late last week in which she extends an invite to Thursday's "public discussion" of the Dallas CityDesign Studio's West Dallas extreme makeover. Brent Brown and Larry Beasley, funded by the Trinity...

While setting up on the floor at Rubber Gloves Rehearsal Studios on Saturday night, Denton's New Science Projects began to attract a pretty substantial crowd. With people lined up on all sides of them—some even standing on chairs—frontman and songwriter Dale Jones began belting out half-screamed words in his guttural,...
Heavy metal can be fun. And in Austin, a metal band shredding its way not only through the city but also around the world is indeed having fun. The Sword, led by vocalist and songwriter John "J.D." Cronise, have learned to use the fact that Austin's musical focus often lies...
Much to my chagrin as a kid, the only things I was ever capable of doing quickly were reading and writing. Neither skill was especially valuable in gym class. But in a newsroom, where deadlines are perpetually looming, high-speed literacy isn't just a parlor trick. It's extraordinarily helpful to be...
10. Some of us said all week that with the way the Jets celebrated wildly in New England, it was if they'd already won their Super Bowl. Proved astute right out of the gate as the Steelers set the tone with a 15-play, 66-yard touchdown drive to open the game. The Jets...
There's no shortage of names being tossed out there as would-be replacements for Kay Bailey Hutchison, who yesterday announced she won't run for re-election to the U.S. Senate. Top o' the list, of course, is Lt. Governor David Dewhurst, who made his intentions clear Thursday afternoon on his blog: "I...

Every year around March, the spillover effect from Austin's South By Southwest music festival sends hundreds of underground bands through North Texas. Which is good news for those whose wallets aren't thick enough to afford a 2011 SXSW pass (a basic music pass goes for $750), as there are more...
Despite the terrible weather, there is still a bunch of shows to look out for on this hump day evening -- two of which are even taking place in the same building...

Yesterday, we gave you the goods on Salvatore Gisellu, executive chef at Urban Crust. Today, we asked Gisellu to finish a few sentences for us. Tomorrow, he shares one of his recipes. (Gisellu's words are after the ellipses.) I was raised in...Sardinia. My friends say I'm...too Italian. [He laughs.] I...
Two different announcements have landed in the in-box in the last 24 minutes alerting our attention to the fact the American Institute of Architects has given the Dee and Charles Wyly Theatre one of its prestigious Honor Awards for Architecture, along with these other estimable edifices. One release says the...
It almost risks redundancy for the 1,000-kilowatt cooking couple of Gina and Pat Neely to do any kind of Super Bowl-related show. Since, by all outward appearances, each of their cooking shows seems choreographed to climax with a whoopin' and hollerin' game-style party involving friends and family members too numerous...

A solidly packed Monday evening of music awaits those who don't mind stepping out on a cold winter's night.....
Welcome to My First Show, where we give bands a chance to talk about the first shows they ever attended -- no matter how uncool and embarrassing those tales may be. Matt Pittman is a busy man as of late. When not working on new material for the (thankfully) still-active...
At this very moment, Mayor Tom Leppert -- for now -- is taking part in the annual Elite News MLK Parade, after which he will fly to Austin for Governor Rick Perry's inauguration. When he returns Wednesday, there will be a budget workshop at which time City Manager Mary Suhm...
For a good hour or so this morning, there was a parade of people to the briefing-room podium at Dallas City Hall to discuss the Mayor's Youth Fitness Initiative, funded with $1 million worth of seed money from Oncor. Among those on hand: Mike Rawlings, Park Board president and would-be...
You knew it was coming. And now, it's here: the lawsuit against the city of Dallas that Andy Siegel vowed to file by week's end in which he asks the court to void the results of last week's vote to allow the off-premise sale of wine and beer citywide. It...
So me and Charles Barkley call the Dallas Mavericks the best team in the NBA, but when I come back from vacation the whole thing's in shambles. What the what?! I believe when I left they were 23-5 and had just completed a season sweep of the Miami Heat. Now? Entering tonight's home...

Bonus MP3: Calhoun — “Lioness”
Patrick Michels, our go-to guy on all things having to do with XTO's efforts to drill for oil and gas at Hensley Field, is presently occupied, and so, once more, it falls to me to point out what some Friends of Unfair Park have mentioned in the comments below: On...
In this edition of This Week In Dallas Music History, former Dallas Observer music editor Sarah Hepola offers one of the earliest stories we ever published on the late Spector 45 frontman Frankie Campagna. In 2004, when the story was written, the then-17-year-old Campagna was already a familiar face around...
Let's not even get into the underlying issue of whether Robert Groden should be able to sell his books and magazines about the Kennedy assassination on Dealey Plaza downtown. Just for grins, let's put that to one side. What gets me is the extreme Vladimir Putin-style in-your-face we're-not-even-embarrassed-by-it thug-ocratic stupidity...
