You probably remember this: End of the day Tuesday we posted that video shot during the wee small hours of the morning at Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport in which West Coast photographers Joe Ayala and Larry Chen are having a cute, no-harm-no-foul home-alone moment at an American Airlines check-in desk,…
Above is a video just posted by the Dallas Police Department in which two men smash-n-grab the Brook Mays on John Carpenter, stealing as many instruments as they can get their mitts on in the wee small hours of June 7. But it’s a two-parter: A few hours later they’re…
Much has been made about how former Dallas Police Chief David Kunkle has raised and spent pennies on the dollar compared to Multi-Millions Mike Rawlings, and most recent docs filed with the City Secretary’s Office show that in the days leading up tomorrow’s run-off election, Kunkle has spent just $53,891.77,…
Oh, right — the Texas Rangers, now but half a game up on Seattle in the American League West after losing five straight and eight of their last 10, three of those to the New York Yankees, including yesterday’s gut-punching 3-2 loss in 12. The local sports spotlight is all…
Pardon the delay — our photographer Mike Mezeul II was among those stranded on DART trying to make his way home from the American Airlines Center following this morning’s parade and the VIP after-party at the AAC. But in just a few we’ll have the entirety of his slide show…
Last week we told you about a questionnaire that Arlington state Rep. Bill Zedler wants Texas women to have to fill out before they can get an abortion, the answers to which would eventually show up in some state-run internet database. We asked for a copy, but Phil Fountain, a…
After hanging out along the parade route for a while this morning, Nick and I ducked into the convention center for what we’d been told would be a half-hour interview session with the Mavs before they floated their way to the AAC.Little did we know we’d be cooling our heels…
Courthouse News brings us this lawsuit filed two days ago in Dallas County District Court: John Tatum and Mary Ann Tatum v. The Dallas Morning News, inc. and Steve Blow. At issue is this column, which appeared in the paper on July 12, 2010: “Shrouding suicide in secrecy leaves its…
On and off since posting that original item about Andy Carl Valentin and Chris Durbin’s plans to save the Bottle Rocket motel in Hillsboro I’ve spoken with the twosome about…related matters, let’s say. And today, we can officially announce at least one significant bit of breaking news: The Austin-based Alamo…
Rick Carlisle just called Dirk Nowitzki “the best basketball player on the planet.” Screw it, let’s go with it. And, for the record, Carlisle did smile. And DeShawn Stevenson did show up, smoking a victory seeegar. Jason Kidd: “We already got this championship. Now we gotta go get that next one.”…
The tail end of the Mavs parade left the Dallas Convention Center moments ago; more to come from that traffic jam shortly. But till then, this just in from the folks overseeing the LBJ Freeway redo: The second — and final — wave of HOV lane closures is set to…
Pardon me as we take a brief detour from the parade route for just a moment, but Texas Monthly’s just posted its latest list of the best and worst state legislators — and Leo Berman made worst? No way. Anyway. The preview’s here, sans further categories awaiting their print and…
My personal fave: No. 9 from J.J. “Bareeia” — The congratulatory sext from Anthony Weiner…
Early this morning Mavs fans packed the intersection of Griffin and Young, setting up chairs and coolers and settling in behind the barricade along the first block of the parade’s route. And there, amongst the growing throng, was none other than the ubiquitous Robert Crawford — better known, simply, as…
As you might have heard, just a few folks have skipped work to hang out in downtown today to pay homage to a group of very tall men (and one of-average-height Puerto Rican). But with an hour to go, traffic’s an issue: Dallas PD reports that the Jefferson Street Viaduct…
10. It was a simple offensive rebound and putback layup off the glass, but when Shawn Marion produced it at the end of the third quarter on April 25 it gave the Mavericks a 14-point lead over the Blazers in crucial Game 5 of the first round, and it restored…
Nick and Patrick are at the convention center; another photographer’s embedded with the Mavs inside the barricades; another is posted at the American Airlines Center. That said, we won’t beat you down with all-day posts from today’s parade; only when it’s appropriate and when it’s over. But here, two hours…
Some of the staff’s already downtown for the parade — along with the thousands already on hand both at Victory Park and behind the barricades stretching back to the Dallas Convention Center starting point. And, this just in from Dallas City Hall:Accommodations will be made for people who are handicap…
Dear God: OK, Buzz is a little late with cracking wise about “The Response,” Governor Rick Perry’s national day of prayer and monster truck rally to take place next month in Houston. What? No monster trucks? Why, then, would anyone in his right mind travel to Houston in August for…
So when exactly did you give up on these Mavericks? There are those at Thursday’s championship parade through downtown Dallas who might have claimed, above the cheering and through the confetti, to have believed all along. But this is a safe space. Let’s lay it out there: Unless you’re named…
The great George Gimarc called yesterday to talk about … look, I forget what. But at some point, the man who introduced me — and a generation of kids who would have otherwise been stuck listening to Boston and Styx and Kansas in the early 1980s — to punk rock…
