Monday, September 23 Margaret AtwoodMargaret Atwood didn’t need a Handmaid’s Tale TV series to stay relevant.

The Dallas Symphony Orchestra’s annual SOLUNA International Music and Arts Festival is back for its fifth iteration, and with it comes some intriguing programming as always. In years past, SOLUNA has given us a mixed bag of sorts as it’s worked toward finding a true purpose within the DSO. Odd...
Dallas has some seriously cool shows to check out this week. Catch Sum 41 and Earl Sweatshirt midweek before the weekend lights up with down-and-dirty rock 'n' roll from Dead Mockingbirds, the daylong music festival JMBLYA, a reunion for Dallas electronic band Channel 69 and more. Sum 41 7 p.m...
A couple of years ago, we made a plea for Dallas to step up and produce a cool pinball lounge. A renewed wave of interest in the delightfully approachable game had made its way to other major cities like New York and San Francisco — but Dallas? Nada. Well, unless...

Monday was a weird time to be celebrating for Planned Parenthood. The venerable reproductive rights advocacy organization and healthcare provider faces attacks from all sides. President Donald Trump wants to strip the organization of millions in federal funding; multiple speakers at last week's Conservative Political Action Conference accused abortion providers...
In two mayoral runoff election debates so far between Dallas City Council member Scott Griggs and state Rep. Eric Johnson, half of Johnson’s entire pitch has been that he will bring an end to snarkiness, personal attacks and divisiveness at City Hall. The other half of Johnson’s pitch has been...
The French Room at the Adolphus Hotel is a long-standing institution in our city. It’s also one that’s seen some frequent change over the last two years. The newest change arrives in the form of chef Anthony Dispensa, who has hired a new back-of-house staff and revamped the menu. It’s...
At 7 p.m. Tuesday when polls close throughout the state of Texas — with one notable exception, but we'll get to that — only one thing will be left to do if you're the slightest bit politically inclined. No more doors to knock on, texts to send or votes to...
You don’t hear it often, but it’s kind of refreshing when a musician admits to something few fellow artists dare utter in public. “I actually like the business part of the music business,” admits country singer-songwriter Rob Baird.

Crazy, goofy and idiotic are not good explanations for people who are hard to understand. I’m going to buy a Cub Scout wood-burning kit that makes engravings on plywood and put that on a plaque. Maybe I’ll hang it from the rearview mirror of my pickup. But for years I...
The Margaret McDermott Bridge over the Trinity River in downtown Dallas is the city’s ne’er-do-well relative who shows up every year or so for yet another handout. Is it a mercy for us to give her more money, or have we just become codependent? Designed by Spanish architect Santiago Calatrava,...
José didn’t have to improve itself. The Park Cities crowd quickly adopted it as a favored Mexican food destination, and once the Park Cities crowd likes a restaurant, it doesn’t need to serve good food to keep their attention. José could have coasted for years by riding the pocketbooks of older Anglos with...
