I fell in love with the woman I married while attending the University of North Texas, so I don't know firsthand what "Love Dallas Style," the title of the Old Red Museum's Valentine's Day program, means. From what I've observed in the Little D, "Love Denton Style" means bonding over canned beer, indie-rock and brick-weed. I can only assume that the Big D counterpart involves name-brand vodka, club-house and cocaine. That's probably not what the museum will tell you, since the subjects are historical and fictional Dallas couples such as Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow and Sue Ellen and J.R. Ewing. Visitors can also create "vintage valentines" 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday during "Love Dallas Style" at the Old Red Museum, 100 S. Houston St. Admission is $5 to $8. Call 214-745-1100 or visit oldred.org for more information.
