At noon today in Victory Park, a group of enviro-activists dressed for Halloween dropped to the concrete to rather dramatically mark the end of analog television. The switch from analog to digital television was supposed to happen back in February but was delayed when an estimated 6 million U.S. household...

Just why would anyone drive all the way to Rockwall? I mean, unless they happen to be stuck to a mortgage there. Yeah, there's the big reservoir, but if you venture out on the water some weekend, you're probably not decked out in your Dallas clubbing best, right? So you'd...

I saw this today on our Twitter network: "World: quit bringing children to bars. I don't care what time of day or night it is. Inappropriate."But in many places around the world (well, Europe, anyway) parents regularly drag their kids to the pub. Prudish Americans think there's something evil about...
Taking an early glance at the 72-page budget briefing that the city council's Quality of Life Committee will thumb through today, we glean these few randomly highlighted cuts presented in no particular order of importance. Keep in mind, of course, that till City Manager Mary Suhm submits her final budget...
Among the first 60 commenters at yesterday's public hearing on proposed Environmental Protection Agency regulations intended to reduce emissions from cement kilns, there was obvious consensus on a few points: They liked the EPA's new rules. They felt they needed them, because the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ), depending...
Still no word from Dallas County Community College District officials concerning their decision to terminate Carla Ranger's contract, thus ending her 20-year tenure with DCCCD. But late last night, the Dallas Independent School District board trustee did post to her blog her short-and-sweet termination letter, which, she writes, was hand-delivered...
The Transportation and Environment Committee failed to vote Monday on the proposed booting ordinance, choosing instead to schedule a third meeting before the city council's July recess. In the meantime, booting companies continue their aggressive tactics, as we witnessed last night during a ride-along with a Dallas police officer patrolling...

The weekend's finally here, boo-yah, and it's a deceptively crowded one music-wise, actually. You should already know about the weekend shows we've already discussed here and in the print edition, but, in case you forgot, well, let's recap. Well, now that I think of it, pretty much every show we've...
We're talking about those times when you have guests over for drinks, of course. Despite the comfy chair and nice leather couch, the dining room table or poolside patio, everyone eventually gathers in the kitchen. This is so even when the space is cramped, narrow or has one of those...

On The Range: Chiles Rellenos
The headline says it all. But this missive, which we just received from Congresswoman Eddie Bernice Johnson's office concerning the fight over funding at Dallas Independent School District's magnet schools and learning centers, says it better.
