Woke up this morning to find an in-box full of Blockbuster releases, chief among them the downtown-based video-rentalist's announcement that, sure enough, this morning it filed for bankruptcy in a federal court in New York. Says the company, the voluntary, "prepackaged" Chapter 11 filing is the result of a deal...
Earlier today, via The Twitter, reader Joe Roberts submitted this: "Workers are pulling boards off windows at the old Dallas High School building at Pearl Station. Any clue as to why?" Why, no, Joe. But I have heard in recent days that crews have been gutting the century-old structure --...

Yesterday, in the comments to our latest Good Guys item, Friend of Unfair Park LaceyB inquired about the fate of Chase, long rumored to be on NBC's must-cut list following weeks' worth of low ratings. Turns out, reports of its inevitable demise were greatly exaggerated: NBC just sent word that...
Dallas, at least as of this very moment, is all-wet when it comes to the off-premise sale of beer and wine. And as Rudy Bush noted this morning, there hasn't exactly been a rush to the Oak Cliff Municipal Center's permit office -- in large part because of the city...
Behind bars for more than 20 years, after being found guilty of the 1986 rape and murder of a Garland woman named Galua Crosby, Clay Chabot always maintained he was innocent. This morning, that all changed: In a Dallas courtroom, Chabot pleaded guilty to Crosby's murder. He was poised to...
Every four years, the American people act en masse to send a message to the nation's power brokers, and every four years, this vote is interpreted as a sign of the decline in taste, intelligence and moral rectitude of the populace. Every four years, a Jackass movie opens at number...

Edge's profile of Greenberg Smoked Turkey in this morning's New York Times no doubt whetted appetites nationwide for the Tyler smokehouse's "spice-rubbed and hickory-burnished bird," but the product's long been a local favorite.

Pomplamoose’s DIY Revolution
10. DeSean Jackson is fun to watch, and so easy to hate. After his 91-yard catch-and-run touchdown he stopped at the 1 and slowly fell backward into the end zone. Where's George Teague when you need him? 9. At 4-9 the Cowboys are officially losers (for the first time since '04)...

Bike-riding the few blocks to F.P. Caillet Elementary back in the day was certainly no big deal -- it certainly wasn't revolutionary, it certainly wasn't news. It's how we got to school. Flash-forward three decades, and our neighborhood -- same one in which I grew up -- stages a Bike...
OK, next time I have to write a complicated story about genetically modified salmon or high-fructose corn syrup, I'm illustrating it with a picture of a hamburger. Because if I'm interpreting the results of the American Society of Magazine Editors' annual best magazine cover contest correctly, readers can't resist burger...
Fascinating case over on Courthouse News involving a Waco woman named Dorothy Isabel who used to live in Dallas and says she can't return here to visit her relatives because, well, an old episode of A&E's true-crime series The First 48 ID'd her as a prostitute known as "Lady" who...
