Bare-knuckle boxing has a 173-year history that was put on pause back in 1892. A little over a century later, this legacy picked back up where it left off. Dallas-Fort Worth’s own mixed martial artist, Johnny Bedford, competed in the first regulated bare-knuckle event earlier this summer.
... I imagined how whatever scene I was watching might have been staged and shot and acted out in a more traditional film — and I was inevitably disappointed by what has been lost ...
A thing of beauty is a joy forever, but affronts to architectural pulchritude live in infamy on Kate Wagner’s blog McMansionhell.com. McMansion Hell highlights a certain type of enormous, aesthetically baffling dwelling constructed across the country in recent decades.

Do you remember when it was fun to sit up election night watching the returns roll in? At our house we used to make popcorn. Now it’s like watching a dress rehearsal for the end times. We eat chocolate candy that’s really bad for us because why not? In fact,...
Last week I wrote about Dallas City Council member Jennifer Gates, who is white, appearing on her own Facebook page dressed in a Halloween costume as a caricatured Mexican man in a sombrero with a black mustache. Later Sharon Grigsby at The Dallas Morning News wrote a thoughtful column taking...
An eclectic wave of music sprouted up in Dallas during the first half of 2018, much of which was accompanied by music videos filmed in and out of town. It isn’t easy turning local spots into visual moods or even social commentary, so we’re giving due recognition to five videos...
Throughout the winter, much has been made about a feature in Google's Arts and Culture app that uses an algorithm to match a user's selfie to a piece of art from around the world. The results have ranged from amusing to terrifying, but Dallas has largely been left out on...
Now that we've successfully slogged through the first half of 2018 — a year filled with more Lime Bikes and Tide Pods than common sense, it seems — it's time to look back and assess. OK, so maybe Dallas still hasn't solved the affordable housing crisis or homelessness or that...

Wednesday The Disney empire is a vast, all-encompassing thing. They’re the masters of the Ice Capades, one of the biggest names in Broadway and have a virtual lock on the kids pajama market. Now, their reach expands to the world of a cappella singing. Yep, the domain once reserved for...
Cold, quiet weekday afternoon. One of my favorite East Dallas sausage and egg places, Barbec’s on Garland Road, is still as the tomb, empty but for this table, where a waitress hovers over five of us with a pot of hot coffee. Here I am, chatting up a table full...
To celebrate the frozen margarita, and all thing margarita, for that matter, Visit Dallas set out to make the "ultimate margarita bucket list" for visitors and residents alike, the Margarita Mile, a free app that leads "players" on a veritable margarita scavenger hunt to discover Dallas's best margaritas.
Bulla Gastrobar (pronounced like the '90s catch phrase “boo-yah”) opened in Plano’s Legacy West in February. The Miami-based chain emphasizes Spanish tapas and the inebriates traditionally served alongside them. Bulla, conceived by Carlos Centurion, president of Dallas-based prescriptive analytics company River Logic, opened its sixth location in Plano and has...
In contemporary music, it’s not rare to hear sounds echoing those of a previous generation. Some acts like the nostalgia behind the sounds; others want to further the genre. This, perhaps, is why many revival bands emerged in the early 2000s and continue to pop up today (see post-punk and...
Former Balch Springs cop Roy Oliver's murder trial began, finally, on Thursday.

... Like that of I Love You, America, Cohen’s apparent goal of exploring America’s multitudes belies his show’s actual focus on belittling, baiting or simply giving a platform to white Americans in particular
In a former auto garage tucked away off Northwest Highway, two longtime friends and veterans of the Dallas coffee industry have created the city's most forward-thinking coffee shop yet — not in Dallas itself, but in a quiet corner of Richardson. Gorgeous handcrafted wood accents fill the industrial but homey...
Sexist service is bad service. I hope that we can all agree on this. A server who treats a woman with condescension is doing his job badly. More broadly, a server who treats customers differently based on sex, sexual orientation or race is failing the basic standard of hospitality. I’m...
