One more reason why Wade Phillips is the best Cowboys coach ever. So, I’m trying to bang out my review of Charlie Wilson’s War, and it just occurred to me that the belly dancer looked awfully familiar — because she’s, like, Dallas Cowboys head coach Wade Phillips’ daughter. Yup, that’s…
Fred Holston Andrea Grimes, uncharacteristically shy this a.m., doesn’t feel terribly comfy touting her radio appearance today, so I will: The Girl on Top will join the Fort Worth Star-Telegram’s Cary Darling and D’s Zac Crain at noon today on KERA-FM (90.1)’s Think. Their subject: ” 2007 – The Pop…
Frank Campagna’s murals used to adorn the Gypsy Tea Room. Now, they’re at the House of Blues. You can’t help but see Frank Campagna all over this town. His rock-and-roll artwork celebrates musicians from Dallas and afar. The Deep Ellum Tunnel (R.I.P.) is a Campagna baby, and he’s painted for…
Jerry’s on Henderson — well, it used to be. Avi Adelman, who I think Schutze mentioned a few weeks ago, has the highlights of and lowdown on the planned redevelopment of the former Carnival grocery site on Henderson Avenue and Rowena Street, down to the conceptual site plan (nice pool…
Cantina Laredo in Terminal D at DFW — not bad at all, certainly better than the Reata Grill outpost The Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine, originally known as the Village People, today released its annual Airport Food Review — and, like me, it found the Cousin’s Bar-B-Q in Terminal B…
I’ve spent the better part of the morning trolling the highways and byways of Dallas — the side streets and parking lots too, damned near every nook and cranny of our fair city. And, of course, I never left the laptop: This morning, Dallas and Ft. Worth join Boston, Indianapolis,…
It’s no surprise that Kenyans took the top spots at yesterday’s White Rock Marathon — or that they beat our pathetic Matt Pulle, who finished a measly 17th because of “hamstring problems” and a “lack of support along Swiss Avenue” and “Ross Perot Jr.” Anyone who has ever watched even…
Always was a Six Flags Over Texas kinda gal myself, spending day after sweat-drenched day in black Jncos, circling the park with my best friend, hoping that a 17-year-old park janitor would pick us up and teach us the true meaning of love in Casa Magnetica. But there were occasional…
Tré Wilcox, out at Abacus Uber-cook and Top Chef competitor Tré Wilcox has resigned from Abacus to focus on leveraging his 15-plus fame minutes on a television career, according to a statement issued by Abacus’s publicist moments ago. Wilcox, who’s been with the restaurant since its inception seven years ago,…
I’m still recuperating from the White Rock Marathon, after limping to a 17th-place finish. I beat up my hamstring pretty badly and almost dropped out with 10 miles to go, until I saw my shivering colleagues, Merritt Martin and Andrea Grimes, offering up a liberal dose of hometown cheer. They…
Jerry Stackhouse, pictured on his Web site Two weeks after Washington Redskins safety Sean Taylor was killed in his Miami apartment, pro athletes are getting a little … paranoid. Some guys are buying dogs; others, guns. And most are just trying to keep their heads down, reports USA Today, which…
T. Boone Pickens just gave his son a very expensive Christmas present. T. Boone Pickens just got through ponying up $6 million in order to fund “a comprehensive revitalization strategy that will touch on education, crime, housing, employment and community services” in the Fair Park-area Jubilee Park neighborhood. Now, his…
Warning: Objects in your mirror may be more pissed off than they appear. Take cover Rangers fans, Milton Bradley is coming. In a move that makes you wonder why they ever really got rid of Kenny Rogers or Royce Clayton or even Eddie Chiles, the Rangers have agreed to a…
DallasCowboys.com From goat to hero — it’s a fine line. Ask Jason Witten. The Dallas Cowboys will have their annual team Christmas party tonight. Psst, I know what they’re getting: A gift-wrapped 28-27 victory over the Detroit Lions. If there was any doubt about this being a magical season of…
Eddie Sotelo’s million radio listeners will now get an earful about how they need a mouthful of Pizza Patron. Genius. Eduardo “Eddie” ‘Piolín” Sotelo is perhaps the most popular and influential radio-show host in the U.S. and A. (for now, anyway). Last year, through his nationally syndicated radio show (which…
At this very moment down in Huntsville, folks are marking the 25th anniversary of lethal injection in the U.S. at the Texas Prison Museum, which is hosting a panel discussion titled, fittingly, “25 Years of Lethal Injection: What Have We Learned?” Good question — same one the Supreme Court’s scheduled…
Down in Austin — Central East Austin, to be specific — they’re wrestling with how to keep giant McMansions from over-running a neighborhood filled with small lots and smaller houses, which doesn’t sound familiar at all. Yesterday the Austin American-Statesman profiled a neighborhood group trying to further tighten existing regulations…
Seem to recall it wasn’t so long ago that Dallas-based virtual advertising agency imc2 was recognized as a top-10 “digital agency” by Advertising Age. In May, the Dallas Business Journal ranked it as a pretty swell place to work, and only last week Adweek wrote a nice profile of the…
C’mon, Gold Anti-Trust Action Committee. Can’t you just hug it out? Far as I know, all the gold in California is in a bank in the middle of Beverly Hills in somebody else’s name. But that’s just not good enough for Dallas’ William J. Murphy III, who happens to be…
This wine tastes very … Northwest Dallas, with a hint of pepper. “This is one of the most unique and unusual holiday gifts opportunities ever available to Dallasites.” Hey, I’m all for that — especially if it’ll get you drunk. And, yeah, as it turns out there are some 300…
From an October 2007 Today show story — ironic, right? Question for Tim Wagner, The Voice of American Airlines and Friend of Unfair Park: Is it customary for American to return lost luggage to its rightful owner at 3 in the morning? Just wondering, because it happened to Don Teague,…
John Brown, lookin’ for oil in all the wrong places? Israel ain’t much of an oil-producing country — “only a couple thousand barrels of oil a day,” according to Slate last year. Which isn’t stopping Dallas-based Zion Oil and Gas, HQ’d on Abrams Road, from digging into some Holy Land…
