“We’re so much more than Dallas the TV show,” says a Dallas tourism rep in a story that I swear I read back in 1987. Only, nope, it’s from today — in a Chicago Tribune by way of Kansas City Star piece about how Dallas is still trying to recover from the J.R. Ewing drinking binge that last 13 seasons.
