For months, Larry James, president and CEO of Dallas Central Ministries, and Larry Hamilton, the building's owner and the man responsible for copious downtown do-overs, had hoped to turn at least...
Russ Martin is a jackass. He's a vulgar, pompous bully who for years physically and psychologically tormented his Dallas radio co-workers to gain fame and fortune. "Stuff he'd say to us on the air he wouldn't say to us in the hall, because he's a coward," says J.D. Ryan, Martin's...

The Trinity River toll road is dead. DOA. Cold. Clothespins on noses. The Trinity River toll road is no more. From here on out, it's all bad money after good and proof our city is led by fools. Monday, the mayor of Dallas and a backup choir of politicians held...

Chewing The Fat: Pour Technology
The Wall Street Journal this morning examines airlines' inconsistently, almost arbitrarily enforced rules and regulations -- you know, the kind that result in "bewildered and angry fliers." As a prime example, the paper checks in with a frequent flier who found himself subject to the whims of an American Airlines...
At some point, no doubt, we'll get an official statement. Till then, well, here's what the Wall Street Journal (subscription-only, sorry) has to add to the story of Tom Hicks's refusal to pay off Hicks Sports Group's debt:Creditors to Texas financier Tom Hicks's Hicks Sports Group have declared the company...
The front end of a cow carcass was dangling from the ceiling. With a butcher's hook and a boning knife in my hands, I regarded the bright-red expanse of raw meat. The day before, on the first day of Beef 101 class, I had patted this steer on the forehead...
There will be good Tex-Mex and rumors of good Tex-Mex. Mostly rumors, though—at least in the Dallas area. It's a sad fact: apart from some fabled taquerias and a few notable exceptions, Tex-Mex restaurants in this part of the world survive on mediocre cooking and the forbearance of diners. They...

Although it has already been posted elsewhere, after the jump, you'll see a press release from the folks at Etc. Etc., detailing their stance and thoughts on why their Saturday night party at the 1800 Lear St. warehouse was busted up by the Dallas Police Department and the Texas Alcoholic...
In my review of the debut EP from local rockers The Semifinals in this week's print edition of the Observer, I applauded Andrew Strickland and crew's efforts fuse cute Emo with some old-school post-punk a la Gang of Four--and the results are pretty damn cool. Here's "Yr Fists," the best...
