At 7 p.m. Tuesday when polls close throughout the state of Texas — with one notable exception, but we'll get to that — only one thing will be left to do if you're the slightest bit politically inclined. No more doors to knock on, texts to send or votes to...
The French Room at the Adolphus Hotel is a long-standing institution in our city. It’s also one that’s seen some frequent change over the last two years. The newest change arrives in the form of chef Anthony Dispensa, who has hired a new back-of-house staff and revamped the menu. It’s...
Monday, September 23 Margaret AtwoodMargaret Atwood didn’t need a Handmaid’s Tale TV series to stay relevant. The Canadian writer has enough brilliant novels (see Cat’s Eye and The Blind Assassin), short stories and poems to keep a lit professor agog for an entire semester without even mentioning her dystopian classic...
For longer than a year, as you made your way from the Green Room in Deep Ellum to grab a slice at Serious Pizza, you could see a building with the words Deep Ellum Hostel at the top. Peering into the window would result in seeing different stages of construction,...
A couple of years ago, we made a plea for Dallas to step up and produce a cool pinball lounge. A renewed wave of interest in the delightfully approachable game had made its way to other major cities like New York and San Francisco — but Dallas? Nada. Well, unless...

Monday was a weird time to be celebrating for Planned Parenthood. The venerable reproductive rights advocacy organization and healthcare provider faces attacks from all sides. President Donald Trump wants to strip the organization of millions in federal funding; multiple speakers at last week's Conservative Political Action Conference accused abortion providers...
You don’t hear it often, but it’s kind of refreshing when a musician admits to something few fellow artists dare utter in public. “I actually like the business part of the music business,” admits country singer-songwriter Rob Baird. Chatting before his December concert at the Kessler in Oak Cliff, where...
All nine candidates on the ballot for mayor of Dallas in the election Saturday have come out officially in opposition to corruption. Several have offered specific plans for combating corruption. Most of those proposals are aimed at catching people in the act of being corrupt. We could do that all...
Kenny Vasoli wants to break a curse that his band Vacationer apparently has with Dallas. He has nothing bad to say about the town itself, but previous shows here have resulted in some rather strange occurrences. At one show, two women got into a fist fight. At another one, Vasoli...
About halfway through Saturday night’s excellent set at The Granada Theater, Phosphorescent band leader Matthew Houck coughed one time too many. “I’m sorry, y’all. I’ve got quite the cold,” he announced to the surprise of few in the audience. After watching him power through a couple of false starts, rearrange...
In roughly six months, moving trucks will be loaded with the tables, costumes and autographed pictures that made up Dallas Comedy House as it moves away from its second location in Deep Ellum. The trucks won’t be driving far however, as they need to go only one street over, to...

In two mayoral runoff election debates so far between Dallas City Council member Scott Griggs and state Rep. Eric Johnson, half of Johnson’s entire pitch has been that he will bring an end to snarkiness, personal attacks and divisiveness at City Hall. The other half of Johnson’s pitch has been...
The rumors of St. Petersburg have finally arrived in Dallas. The beloved tale of the Princess Anastasia is touring for the first time and has set up shop at the Music Hall at Fair Park. But swap out Rasputin and the talking bat with communism. “We think of it as...
Justin Timberlake brought sexy back. Three times. His Man of the Woods tour stopped in Dallas last May for two dates and came back around for a third time, eight months later. We apparently just couldn’t get enough. Timberlake threw a party. Literally, he had his stage set up with...
Today, our Top 100 Dallas Restaurants issue hits newsstands around DFW, and you can read the list in its entirety online. In the interest of science, Food Critic Brian Reinhart, the author of the Top 100, did a breakdown of the list and the neighborhoods, cuisines, suburbs and even streets...
The Margaret McDermott Bridge over the Trinity River in downtown Dallas is the city’s ne’er-do-well relative who shows up every year or so for yet another handout. Is it a mercy for us to give her more money, or have we just become codependent? Designed by Spanish architect Santiago Calatrava,...
José didn’t have to improve itself. The Park Cities crowd quickly adopted it as a favored Mexican food destination, and once the Park Cities crowd likes a restaurant, it doesn’t need to serve good food to keep their attention. José could have coasted for years by riding the pocketbooks of older Anglos with...

It takes years to build a good name and only seconds to destroy one, so should you choose to organize concerts or festivals, tread carefully, always be prepared to take a loss and don’t bite off more than you can chew. Some neophyte promoters are legitimately slimy characters, but sometimes...
Crazy, goofy and idiotic are not good explanations for people who are hard to understand. I’m going to buy a Cub Scout wood-burning kit that makes engravings on plywood and put that on a plaque. Maybe I’ll hang it from the rearview mirror of my pickup. But for years I...
There are a lot — and we do mean a lot — of "best ____ restaurant" lists in the county, ranking everything from breakfast to burgers and anything in between. Hell, we even do a few of them ourselves every year. But one of the biggest such lists in the...
You don’t know this, because you don’t read D, the city magazine of Dallas, but they’ve been running a mayoral poll on their online Frontburner page. You click to vote for your favorite candidate. This week they admitted the poll probably is being gamed. Shawn Shinneman wrote: “It’s possible —...
