After delaying last year's event for several months, Spune, the organizers behind indie music festival Index, have decided to pull the plug this year. Originally slated to take place last September, Index was originally postponed until an unspecified date this...
Woodrow Wilson described D.W. Griffith’s notorious Civil War epic Birth of a Nation as “writing history with lightning.” Gary Ross’ Free State of Jones, which covers roughly the same period as Griffith’s film, is more like writing history with index cards. Diligent and informative but also fragmented and inert, it...
After the humble taco stand Trompo was named one of Bon Appetit’s 50 Best New Restaurants in America, a Redditor named Thrill_of_life turned their nose up at the $1.85 cost of Trompo’s tacos: “Too expensive in my opinion, bet they’re also going to raise the price.” Another Redditor, signel, agreed:...

Sorry, but I do think we are starting to have a Wylie H. problem. I know I am, and I believe others are, as well. We need to stop the speculation, the guessing, the false accusations. It is eroding our civic life and possibly even our psychological well-being. Yesterday during...
One of the few downsides of having a real, big-girl or -boy full-time job that comes with a salary and benefits is that, no matter how many hours the job requires, workers are likely exempt from federal requirements mandating employers pay overtime wages for those who work more than 40...
Dallas, thank goodness, is not Cleveland or Detroit. Its economy and identity have never had the Rust Belt dependence on manufacturing, and so it hasn't been hollowed out by American manufacturing's collapse. But make no mistake. Even though the Dallas area's population and economy are both famously booming, the city...
Folding meats, starches and other delights into dough and frying it isn’t a uniquely Argentine idea. You’ll find some variation of that theme on menus from Ghana to the Virgin Islands, but equating Empa Mundo’s empanadas to beef patties or pastelitos is like saying Jorge Luis Borges and Dora the...
The popularity of Lakewood Elementary has effectively warped the East Dallas real-estate market as upper-middle-class-to-rich families outbid one another for homes within the school's attendance boundaries.
