  Friends of Unfair Park I like to call "Mom" and "Dad" suggested this photo op on Meaders Lane, where, from the looks of our drive last night, damned near every house between Preston and Inwood Roads appears to have one of these signs planted in the front yard -- on purpose, even. They're branching out too, as evidenced by the welcome-home placard on the northwest corner of Walnut Hill Lane and Tulane Boulevard. One guess what I got Schutze for Christmas. --Robert Wilonsky

• Preston Center, "An Oasis"

  This morning, Bloomberg News pays a visit to Preston Center, where a certain former president is about to set up shop, and finds that it's quite "popular with lawyers who don't want to be downtown, small accounting firms seeking proximity to wealthy clients, and investors who need office space outside their homes." Which explains the Sonic. (A tangent: Worst. Burger. Ever. But, as always, great limeade.) Marsha Lindsey, owner of Lucky Dog Barkery, is hoping for customers named Barney and Miss Be

• Pairing Off: Big Mac

  Patrick MichelsRevisit your old grade school or the patch of neighborhood grass where you played football as a kid and you'll likely find the once-vast expanses, um, seriously shrunken.Maybe it's the workings of global warming. Or perhaps the earth contracts naturally as it spins through space--I don't know. But the same force clearly affects McDonald's Big Mac. I mean, decades ago this was a daunting, dripping monster of a sandwich. When I ordered one over the weekend for the first time since..

• Revolving Doors: A Month To Remember?

  We were trying to think of any significant restaurant closings in Dallas over the last 30 days and nothing, besides that odd moment when Kavala in Oak Cliff shut down then reopened almost immediately. So, we had to call our buddy Teresa Gubbins and pry into her database-like brain.Thanks TG.Just glancing at the balance of comings and goings in Dallas, it's hard to believe there's a recession on. A few cases of swine flu are responsible for more closings--just schools, but still...A recap of the

• First Look: Roasters New York Deli

  ​Of all the perceived gaps in Dallas' huge, yet largely homogenous selection of restaurants, none has received such passionate attention as the absence of a true New York-style deli. Acceptable and even exceptional versions have come and gone, and one passable local deli-style restaurant is packed all weekend long. Yet the public still craves more. Where, they ask, are the mile-high sandwiches, the real-deal bagels and chicken soup like Svetlana used to make? Two newcomers are poised to

• Ladies in the Locker Room. With Coach Joe?

  ​So Coach Joe lures all these women into the locker room and then ... Actually, no, it's not a scene-setter for the most bizarre porn on the planet, it's Football 101 for Ladies. And it's not a bad idea. Not bad at all. The premise is that Joe Avezzano and his three Super Bowl rings know what they are talking about it. The extension is that women want to know football, but are generally too intimidated to ask their men. Enter "Ladies Locker Room", a weekly seminar on the ba
