Dallas’ landmark Thanksgiving Tower sold in foreclosure
Downtown Dallas’ Thanksgiving Tower was sold in foreclosure auction last week, after its owners (Younan Properties) defaulted on their $84 million debt. Younan, like many property owners these days, found themselves upside down on a debt that was worth more than it’s current value of $65.7 million. Younan paid $100 million for the property which [...]

Is your grandma a Dallas Cowboys Cheerleader?
Haha, that’s a silly question isn’t it? *screech of needle abruptly being dragged across record* Think again, wise guy. Someone’s grandma is, or I guess she might be. 55-year-old fitness impresario Sharon Simmons (no relation to Richard?) is trying out to be a member of the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders. She wouldn’t be the first NFL [...]

5K’s, fun runs kick off a fit and healthy spring
It’s spring, the weather is warm and it’s time to start thinking of outdoor activities again (especially with swimsuit season quickly approaching, just sayin’). Just because marathon season is grinding to a halt doesn’t mean you can’t still incorporate running into your fitness routine. DFW has 5K’s and fun runs all year long, so chop [...]

H&M opening this month at Galleria Dallas
I’m so excited and I’m sure many other fashion-loving bargain babes are, too. H&M, the IKEA of Scandinavian women’s fashion, will open its third Dallas area store this month at my favorite mall, Galleria Dallas. If you haven’t checked out the two existing H&M locations, at the Northpark Center and the Shops at Willow Bend, [...]

Dallas “awarded” rude city honors
Here’s a dubious distinction for the city of Dallas – we’re considered one of the rudest urban centers in the U.S. That’s not the type of award you want to frame and hang over the fireplace, but Dallas has apparently earned it, through less-than-cheery customer service, belligerent freeway driving, and generally coarse behavior. The No. [...]

Dallas to crack down on no-idling ordinance
Mama always said that idle hands were the devil’s playground. And Mama’s apparently the new sheriff in Dallas. The city of Dallas is now going to enforce a strict No Vehicle Idling – No Joke! Ordinance all year round. Previously, this ordinance was in effect but it was only enforced in the spring/summer months, also [...]

Hot dogs? No, the little guys were just fine.
Dallas first responders are facing complaints of using excessive force, but it’s not the usual case of a grandma getting tasered or a boyscout being hogtied. Police got a call about two dogs locked in a sweltering car. They called in firefighters for a rescue and freed the poor pooches. Our heroes hard at work, [...]
Dallas’ Lone Star Gas complex
The landmark Lone Star Gas building at between Harwood and Jackson streets will be converted to apartments and retail under a $27 million redevelopment. Lofts and condos will be among the residential offerings of the project, which is slated for completion this year.

Yes, the former tenant still has the key to your place
Changing the locks on apartment doors once a tenant leaves seems like common sense. Surprisingly, it isn’t done consistently. You could be moving into an apartment that the previous owners still have keys to! One new law in Texas is aiming to protect Dallas renters by letting them have sole access to their homes. It [...]

Dallas food trucks: Taking it beyond tacos
Dallas’ food truck scene has been stuck firmly in the taco lane for awhile now, but things are slowly starting to change. There are some emerging food trucks that aren’t serving strictly Tex-Mex, which is exciting for those of us interested in more diverse ethnic fare. Here are a few local favorite food trucks you [...]

Outsmart your lease by borrowing pets
So, your lease says that you can’t have a pet. And even if you could, the pet that you want won’t fit comfortably into your Dallas apartment. No problem! Residents can get their pet fix through venues throughout the city. And if you volunteer, you can get fuzzy animal lovin’ for free! Of course you [...]

Wake up and smell the cheaper Dallas coffee
Just recently Starbucks announced that its “tall” coffee would be 10 cents more expensive in some U.S. regions, including Dallas, Atlanta, Boston or New York among other, making it $1.85. Knowing that the average American coffee drinker consumes 3.4 cups a day, I invite you to do the math and see how much we spend [...]
