• Holiday Crime Initiative, Not Just Another Excellent Band Name

  At this very moment, the city council's Public Safety Committee is meeting to discuss, among other things, the so-called Holiday Crime Initiative aimed at preventing crime during this most wonderful time of the year. Specially, today's presentation deals with two parts of town: the Dallas Police Department's North Central Patrol Division (which includes Galleria Mall, Valley View Center and NorthPark Center) and its Southwest Patrol Division (where you'll find the likes of Southwest Center M

• Those Strobe Lights on the Park Lane Tower Aren't Distracting At All

  Whilst out and about Saturday night, the missus and I were hypnotized to the point of distraction by the strobe-light twinklings coming from the new Park Lane development off N. Central Expressway. After the jump, a brief video from the residential high-rise under construction across the expressway from NorthPark Center; we grabbed it while at the red light. (Could have just parked there and sketched the thing: Everyone at the intersection seemed transfixed in place, except the dude in the Humme

• That's All Carjacked Up, or: How the NorthPark Hoax Made the E-Rounds

  About half an hour ago, Allen Gwinn alerted us media types to this Dallas.org item concerning a hoax e-mail being sent 'round concerning the harmful hustle that wasn't: folks taping fliers to the back windows of cars at NorthPark Center, which they use to lure would-be victims from their vehicles. Not true, know those in the know -- which didn't stop Sheffie Kadane's office from sending out the e-blast, despite alerts from the alert who'd already scoped the hoax on Snopes.Allen included with his

• Peace Out: Dallas ISD Kiddos Decorate NorthPark Barney's For Christmas

  Earlier today our downstairs neighbors at Big Thought sent the image above, which you've no doubt seen if you've window-shopped at NorthPark Center during this most wonderful (enh) time of the year. It's the storefront at Barney's New York, where the theme's "Have a Hippie Holiday," which, I'll assume, involves listening to American Beauty while stoned and unshowered. Says the accompanying release: "The famed Peace symbol, which celebrates its 50th anniversary in 2008, has been amazingly interpr

• AFI Dallas Moves to NorthPark

  Meant to mention this yesterday, when the press released landed in the Unfair Park in-box, but got otherwise sidetracked: The AFI Dallas International Film Festival has a new presenting sponsor, NorthPark Center. Which is a big deal because? Well, according to the release, the AMC NorthPark 15 -- which, in the past, hosted some of the bigger red-carpet and big-ticket events, including the 2007 Hot Fuzz Q&A pictured above -- will now become "even more of a home for this film festival," says f

  The 33.5-acre Park Lane mixed-use development, across Central Expressway from NorthPark Center, today announced that it's open for business -- which is to say, four of the 15 announced restaurants and retailers will commence to sellin' beginning tomorrow. First up is Nordstrom Rack, followed by the bows of Dick's Sporting Goods, which only yesterday saw its stock price rise after an analyst deemed it "well-positioned to weather the economic downturn"; The Children's Place; and Lane Bryant/Caciqu

It was the man's second stop in Dallas in as many days, after his visit to NorthPark Center Wednesday.A packed room of admirers sipped wine, noshed on free snacks and peppered the fashionisto with their deepest, direst wardrobe questions, like how to look hip and modern without giving in to the plunging n

  Corpus Christi native Farrah Fawcett, who died today at the age of 62 following a lengthy and very public battle with cancer, will be remembered for many things: Charlie's Angels, her hair, that pin-up poster, The Burning Bed (she could act!), her David Letterman appearance. But locals who actually saw Robert Altman's 2000 filmed-in-Dallas Dr. T and the Women will never forget how she made a splash in the fountain at NorthPark Center. (Update: Yes, sorry.

Thankfully, "Gadget Virtuoso" was there to document the finish-up; I reluctantly showed the boy the photos, and he sends a hearty "awesome" your way, sir.

  ​The council's Public Safety Committee's got a noon meeting on Monday, and even before Dallas Police Chief David Kunkle's surprise retirement announcement yesterday, they had plenty on their plates, including a look at the car burglary stats. There's even a Top 10 List, with the truck stop at 7425 Bonnie View Road considered the worst place to leave your ride (80 break-ins reported so far this year). But it's not all truck stops and Walmarts and topless joints (Baby Dolls!); rounding out the l
