This, in case you have not heard, is the "Summer of Justice." Which, as far as summers-of goes, ranks somewhere in between the Summer of Love, the "Summer of '69," The Summer of George and The Summer of My German Soldier, a sadly forgotten Kristy McNichol vehicle from 1978. The...

Still no word from Major League Baseball concerning its imminent seizure of Your Texas Rangers in order to expedite the sale to Chuck Greenberg and Nolan Ryan's Rangers Baseball Express. But, finally, there's been direct contact with Monarch Alternative Capital, the main lender holding up the deal with Hicks Sports...
There aren't too many bands that can do what Centro-matic has done in the last 12 years. Where most successful bands ramp up and then burn out, Centro-matic has steadily flown under the radar of the mainstream for the duration of its career. Will Johnson is the obvious driving force...
Cops approach domestic disturbance calls with an abundance of caution, knowing that these situations are highly unpredictable and can escalate quickly, turning dangerous, even deadly. When an officer pulls up to a residence, they don't know who's armed. Who's on drugs. Who's been drinking. And who's so pissed off they...
Unless someone knows exactly where to find the Dunn Bros Coffee in Dallas, then the first time they visit that branch of the award-winning coffee franchise there's a good chance they'll drive right past the drive-through coffee house and coffee roaster -- even Dunn Bros' baristas say that they often...
Had it not been for the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, federal investigators might never have known about conditions inside U.S. Global Exotics, the "massive international exotic-animal wholesale facility in Arlington" raided on December 15. For seven months, PETA had a man on the inside gathering evidence that...

It's difficult to dine at Yung Kee BBQ and not think about its rival just down the street, the more popular First Chinese BBQ. This doesn't mean I didn't discover some gems at Yung Kee. The restaurant has its share of worthy mentions, but atmosphere isn't one of them. While...
The Park and Rec board's meeting at the Dallas Zoo today -- appropriate, since the highest-priced item on today's agenda involves the Dallas Aquarium at Fair Park, scheduled to reopen in September as The Children's Aquarium at Fair Park under the privately operated auspices of Dallas Zoo Management Inc. per...
J. Paul Slavens is about as well-known and well-respected a commodity as there is in the DFW music scene. He's been kicking around the Metroplex for nearly 25 years, playing with bands like the much-heralded Ten Hands or the more experimental Chameleon Chamber Group. But he might have become even...
A Friend of Unfair Park asks that we take a long look at this item posted a few days ago to the legal-eagle blog Above the Law: "SMU Will Pay You To Hire Their Graduates." You read that right: The SMU Dedman School of Law has started a program called...
Based on the comments, shouts and full-on screams erupting from the standing-room-only crowd gathered in Methodist Medical Center's Hitt Auditorium last night, it's a wonder that the town hall meeting to discuss the Dallas Housing Authority and Metro Dallas Homeless Alliance's plan to turn 100 units of Cliff Manor in...
I've been trying to keep up with the dramatic doings at Avila's on Maple Avenue via SideDish for the past week, which hasn't been easy -- especially following today's item concerning the beloved restaurant's shuttering as family friends and members and other concerned parties weigh in with conflicting accounts. And...

Yesterday, you'll recall, those firefighters, police officers and assorted other first responders filed four amended lawsuits related to the 1979 referendum that gave 'em all pay raises (for how long's the billion-dollar question). We're still waiting to see how the Supreme Court of Texas is going to rule in the...

Maybe going bankrupt is the best thing that's ever happened to the Texas Rangers. On the field, at least, 2010 is shaping up to be the team's best season since 1999, the last time the Rangers made the playoffs, when they were sent packing in the American League Division Series...
When you awoke Thursday morning, something probably felt weird. It should've, because—barring a last-minute contract agreement—for the first time since the spring of 1998 Dirk Nowitzki isn't a Dallas Maverick. After a 12-year career, the greatest player in the history of the franchise is a free agent. As of Wednesday...
While we're at it, here's your YouTube link too.Jimmy Menkena knows as well as anyone how satisfying it can be to let loose screaming and just wail on the guitar onstage. By the time he moved to Dallas in 2006, he'd already done that, in a past life in a...
Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time's story hinges on a dagger that can rewind time, a narrative conceit that doubles as a taunt to those who endure this cacophonous, frivolous adaptation of Ubisoft's Arabian Nights-themed video-game series. Bruckheimered to the hilt with the same rollicking period-piece cheesiness that typified...

Earlier this week, SMU alum Astronautalis and longtime DC9 fave DJ Fishr Pryce joined forces to release a new, pay-what-you-want mixtape called DANCEHALLFLOORSOUND!!! I'd try to explain it, but over on the mix's download site, Astronautalis describes for us what the tape is:A mixed tape (in the contemporary sense of...
Just returned to the office from an interview to find three press releases in the Unfair Park in-box worth noting. As always, let's start with the unusually chatty Tom Hicks, who spoke today with, among other media outlets, Business Week and the UK Guardian. To the former he reiterates what...
In theory, Clark Vogeler joined the Toadies at just the right time. It was 1996 when he got his invite—only a month after the breakup of his former, locally adored band, Funland. "It was a pretty perfect situation," the guitarist says over the phone from his home in Los Angeles...
For more than 40 years, Dallas County Constable Jaime Cortes says, he led an exemplary life, rising up through the ranks of law enforcement in the last decade without running into trouble. But over the course of the last nine months, Cortes claims his reputation has been "smeared tremendously" by...
