• Eyewitness News: Surprise, Most Texas PD's Don't Have Lineup Policies

  In August 2007, as it was becoming evident that Dallas was becoming "ground zero for criminal justice change," in the words of Innocence Project of Texas founder Jeff Blackburn, Glenna Whitley wrote that faulty eyewitnesses were partially to blame for the convictions of so many innocent men. Which is why, earlier this year, the Dallas County District Attorney's Office and the Washington, D.C.-based Urban Institute began taking a good look at how the city goes about ID'ing criminal suspects.

• Gig Alert: Blessed By A Curse At Club Dada

  Ah, the joys of an unfinished basement.  (Kevin Reynolds Diomampo)What could be a better pre-Christmas gift than hearing a little Christian/hardcore/death metal? Hailing from Lewisville, the five chipper young fellows who ply their craft under the moniker Blessed by a Curse will bring their brand of holiday cheer to Club Dada tonight. And while it's difficult to discern the Christian elements in songs such as "Praying for Parasites" and "The Modern Day Failure," this quintet definitely has

• Gig Alerts: Looking for Inauguration Night Music? Here's Some Interesting Choices.

  Not a lot going on, music-wise, this inaugural evening in our area, but there are a few worthy performers out there who could help you celebrate Obamamania...Chance Anderson is a youthful, roots rocker from Lewisville (via Empire, Oklahoma) in the vein of Steve Earle. Anderson plays tonight at the Back Porch Grill in Grapevine and his workingman earnestness should fit the mood well. Songs like "Deal With It" and "This Town" have an edginess that should get better with each beer.Mo Robson brings

• Haggis: Did It Gag Us?

  Patrick MichelsAs per tradition, haggis is best plated on paper, beside a bottle of Belhaven.We see how it is. The Glenlivet reps come by the office to offer tastings of the company's 18 to 25 year-old Scotch and what do we who don't have our own offices get? Perhaps a dram of whisky? Just a taste? A drop, even? No, we get the can of haggis.That's right. Canned haggis. Thanks for reminding us of our place in the City of Ate.But, hell--it's free food. So a few of us got together Saturday night to

• License to Drive? Not So Fast, Even If You're a Legal Immigrant With a Valid Work Visa.

  A lawsuit filed in Austin on Wednesday has found its way to the Courthouse News Service: Miguel Salazar and Edgar Soria, both of whom live in Dallas County, and Avila Trejo, currently a resident of Denton County, are suing the Texas Department of Public Safety because it refuses to issue them a driver's license. As far as the Mexican men -- and the Mexican American Legal Defense and Education Fund -- are concerned, they have every right to drive in this country: They each have valid work visas

  Bartenders will tell you that floor space in any of the city's up-market lounges is tantamount to real estate.Well, they might not say "tantamount" and "real estate," but they recognize the value of a prime bar spot, high-visibility table, dark corner or bit of ground in between--value that wavers according to market vagaries. A patron reclining in a leather booth is more likely to attract positive attention than, say, some chump buffeted in the middle of a crowded room.This equation helped crea

  Think global; act coastal. That's what Abuelo's is doing during a limited-time, Mexico-inspired coastal celebration. And although we're not too close to the coast, unless you count the shores of Lake Lewisville, we can still take part. A few of Abuelo's celebratory offerings: · Shrimp Mojo de Ajo (angel hair pasta topped with a dozen shrimp sautéed in Mexican-style garlic butter and served with mixed vegetables.) · Tilapia del Cabo (Tilapia filet sautéed and served ove

• From the Spider Hole to Lewisville to SMU, Most Likely, the Journeys of Saddam's Pistol

  Till he gets his new SMU digs are done, George W. Bush is keeping his stuff in storage in Lewisville, and along with his futon, "grown-up" dresser and collection of framed mid-'80s Tom Cruise movie posters is Saddam Hussein's pistol -- quite the keepsake, as this is the very (unloaded) gun the Iraqi leader had on him when he was yanked out of his spider hole back in '03. According to this morning's New York Times, the former president kept the pistol close by when he was in the Oval Office, and

  Two days after The New York Times singled out Saddam Hussein's unloaded spider-hole pistol (band name alert) among the possible trophies to be displayed in George W. Bush's SMU library, and a week after Pulle's piece on the joint, comes this Associated Press report about the contents of the Lewisville bunker in which Dubya's stuff sits till the library's done dug. It's quite the massive collection of odds and sods -- 40,000 artifacts and 65 million documents -- including everything from "a purse

  ​Nothin' says summer like a hot dog. Okay, burgers and ice cream do a pretty good job of getting the point across. Cold beer, too. But you gotta admit, hot dogs hold a special place in our hearts. Why? Because no matter how you dress 'em up, they're always more PBR than Pinot Noir (kinda like us that way). You'll find no haute dogs on this list, no overpriced cheese-and-lobster renditions--just great Dallas dogs, perfect for the longest, hottest days of the year. The Angry Dog: Halt a ha
