We’ve got a handful of photo sets up from the weekend that, even if they’re not quite sports shots, are at least sports-related. Well, close enough they’re worth a mention here in the Sportatorium.First off, got to point out Mark Graham’s batch of photos from the big deal at Russ…
We already mentioned the candlelight vigil for Michael Jackson in Duncanville Thursday night here on DC9. Later that night, though, Dallas DJs did their part to keep the pop legend on everyone’s mind, while plenty of folks turned up in their vintage MJ-wear.As Tyrone Smiley & DJ Niro spun old…
After surviving last weekend’s Terror on the Tarmac, we figured photographer Danny Hurley had earned a sweetheart assignment for Unfair Park this week — so when we heard the Dallas Cowboys and Playboy bunnies were making red carpet arrivals outside AMPM Saturday night, we knew just who to call.The stars…
Sunday’s Million Gay March of Texas struck a different tone than that of the annual Dallas Pride Parade or other celebrations in Oak Lawn. Folks marched with hands raised in fists instead of waves to the crowd, chanted at those in open bars to join them in the streets, and…
Whether driven by an asinine Constitutional amendment, grand notions of urban planning or draconian dietary shackles, folks who find they have to suck it up, tug at their bootstraps and get down to business — they’re the ones who make the real innovations. This week, one way or another, from…
If you were wondering just how serious the city is about renaming that stretch of Young Street after César Chávez, well, looks pretty serious.Happened upon this sign earlier today whilst downtown, outside the Maceo Smith Federal Building at Young and Griffin Streets, and as you can see, the city won’t…
Rosa Parks Plaza at DART’s West End Station is still a noisy dust-covered construction site, but with help from sculptor Erik Blome, the corner at least has its centerpiece installed: a bronze statue of Parks on a bus seat, planted on a granite hill.The city had planned to open the…
Our own Melissa Crowe already offered her take on last night’s Jenny Lewis show and, by that account, with Lewis cruising the stage in a pair of Daisy Dukes, you needed a heart of stone not to find religion out in the Granada crowd.Thankfully these are 90 minutes that’ll live…
In our wildest dreams, we never thought a seal hunting protest would be worth noting on City of Ate–but the comments on our coverage of PETA’s downtown demonstration this afternoon has taken on a distinct culinary flavor. Readers have contributed a pair of seal recipes.It’s not all that much of…
When People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals came to Fort Worth earlier this month, they parked a woman in a cage, nearly naked and painted up like a cat, on a sidewalk downtown. So imagine our excitement to hear the animal lovers would be on a street corner in…
Update: Check out more photos in this slide show.Not far from a downtown courtroom filled with memories of a time when cash allegedly flowed more freely through City Hall, Mayor Tom Leppert officially welcomed aboard two new City Council members with a promise to work together to do more with…
Getting of the beaten path and trying new things can be especially rewarding when of comes to food, and this week on City of Ate proved it. From a Hophead excursion to Bonnaroo, to a taste of new gelato flavors for summer, we brought plenty of ways to avoid the…
In this week’s paper, Dave checks out Salum, where the lobster to beef tenderloin are complemented but not overwhelmed, and there’s plenty to recommend, even if you go for the smaller portions.For plenty more shots of what the restaurant’s got to offer, you can check out this week’s photo set…
WASHINGTON, D.C. — With Arlington’s own Rep. Joe Barton at the helm last night, the Republicans suffered a tough defeat in Washington, out-fielded and out-hit 15-10 by Democrats in the annual Congressional Baseball Game.Barton, a 22-year veteran of the annual game, wore a Rangers jersey with the No. 6 (his…
How sword fighting and not, say, pistol duels or throwing knives, evolved into a slick Olympic sport, I’ll never quite understand. With button-tipped foils and thick safety gear, fencing has almost entirely removed the element of danger that always made swashbuckling such a good time. Used to be, you could…
Doug Davis had the last word on last night’s Grizzly Bear show at the Granada… until now. Because Hal Samples was there to document the show from the front row–maybe even closer, from the looks of it–and we’ll close out the day on DC9 with his look at the show.You…
Barcadia celebrated its one-year anniversary last Friday night, with sailor hats, pin-up girls and the tribute band Queen For A Day onstage, and on Saturday, our nightlife crew hit up the Lizard Lounge for their annual “Meltdown: Summer Edition” party. Filo and Peri spun in the main room, while DJ…
Having handily dispatched the written word, television’s having its way with dining now, too — at least, that’s the idea you get after reading our last week on City of Ate. Not good news for those of us who write about food.From an Oxygen Network TV crew getting in our…
In this week’s paper, things get real as Dave drops some Wilfred Owen on a Central 214 waitress — but after unleashing phrases like “naughy kitchen” and “quest for world culinary domination,” chef Blythe Beck may get the best lines.Check out more shots from the restaurant, including her chicken-fried Kobe…
This was the scene at the Margaret Hunt Hill Bridge construction site not too long ago, shot right in the thick of the last big downpour before the morning’s storm cleared out.The Trinity River looked as mighty as ever, submerging the trunks of trees in the floodway — and the…
Keith P celebrated his birthday at the Cavern last Friday night, and the Lek Brothers were there to catch photos of the scene as the birthday boy spun goth, punk and ’80s new wave with DJ’s Tommy Boy and Pretty Vacant.Saturday night, the Leks caught up with Dub Assembly and…
In last week’s paper, Noah wrote about The Flatlanders’ enduring relevance and knack for writing about the times we’re living in–and, on Friday night at the House of Blues, Butch Hancock, Joe Ely and Jimmie Dale Gilmore put on a show to prove it.Check out more photos in our slideshow…
