The Cedars: up and coming or come and gone?
The Cedars neighborhood in Dallas is that area just south of I-30 and downtown, and has been an area of transition pretty much since the 1920’s. Around the turn of the century the Cedars was the place where the wealthy built massive Victorian houses, but after the Dallas Terminal Railroad came into the area, light [...]

Restaurant Week is upon us
Every year in late summer, scores of restaurants join forces to support the North Texas Food Bank in the annual KRLD Restaurant week. Here’s the lowdown: each participating restaurant offers a special $35 prix fixe, three-course dinner and then donates $7 per meal to the North Texas Food Bank. The big-damn-deal about Restaurant Week is [...]

Celebrate Julia Child’s 100th birthday or see Dallas, 1950’s Dada edition
There are a few awesome gems to check out in Big D this week of the food and art variety. All of the following events are located in indoor, air-conditioned spaces (because while we’re not positive, it’s most probably hot as hell outside). Julia Child herself may not be around to celebrate her 100th birthday, [...]

Five Ways to Get Wet in DFW
Other Rent Cafe cities are shedding tears about the end of summer. Not us. We know that even after summer is officially over we’ve got weeks of heat remaining on the calendar. There is no better way to pass the lingering weeks of warm weather than to take a dip and get wet. Here are [...]

Support local athletes that are representing in the Olympics
It’s that time again, when every desktop across the world has a streaming video in the corner of their screen and you know what? It’s actually okay because on questioning we just shrug our shoulders and say, “Sorry, I’m an Olympaholic. Can’t help it and by the way did you see Michael Phelps smoke everyone [...]

Budget furniture buying: a difficult (but not impossible) task
Whether it’s your first place, you’re changing roommates or going through a nasty breakup, having to outfit an apartment with furniture stops being exciting once you find out how much things cost. Unless you can find another roommate that has furniture, it’s either buy new stuff or live on lawn chairs, and let’s face it: [...]

Try your hand at open mic or fling some cream at the world’s biggest shaving cream pie fight
Well, we’ve finally reached hot summer slumps; that part of the summer (the dog days, if you will) where everyone is gearing up for fall, staying indoors and getting in that last quick summer trip.

Appreciate classical guitar, relive 70’s metal or dance once again to Rockabilly
There is quite an interesting mix of good finds in music events this week where you can keep it classy, keep it local or keep it decidedly un-classy. For something classier, make it classical at the Fort Worth Guitar Guild Music Festival at the Fort Worth Modern July 31 – August 4. Special guests and [...]

Valley View Mall to see major overhaul, eventually
Well it’s about time. Valley View Mall, located in North Dallas at LBJ (635) and Montford, has been in deep decline for probably the better part of a decade. While a few stores and the movie theater remain open, it’s mostly an empty shell taking up space with the only activity being one of those [...]

Design tips for scrappy bachelors
Okay, boys. You’re not in college anymore and it’s time to make your bachelor pad look a little less sloppy and a little more refined. Turning your messy “college” dump into a sleek abode is easier than you think. Ditch the sports stuff. Just because you’re still a diehard Aggie or Longhorn doesn’t mean your [...]

See Bob Schneider, reminisce old love songs or blow a harmonica

Irving residents’ patience pays off with the opening of DART’s Orange Line
Come July 28, a whole new section of town will have easy access to public transportation with the opening of a section of the DART Orange Line.

Meet your local Democratic candidates, commiserate with a drag queen or have beer and barbecue
This week has a whole slew of things to do get you off your couch and out of the apartment. With the Presidential elections coming up, politics is (like it or not) on everyone’s mind.

While Dallas isn’t quite in the throes of drought we had last summer, our area lakes are still not exactly bursting at the seems and with the rest of summer looming ahead we aren’t in the clear yet. With such an abundance of cheap, clean drinking water it’s easy to take it for granted. Don’t [...]
