Dallas food writer Kim Pierce hit by SUV while jogging
I just now heard about this,..hope you are better by now Kim!!! Hang in there, April was a bad month for everyone,...I even had a small heart attack and was in Parkland for a while,..20% heart muscle lost, enlarged aorta,..but getting stronger and on a new healthy diet. May was pretty tough for many as well,...Jeff West died, former Director of The 6th Floor (JFK) Museum and many other bad things happened. Hello positive energy again and a brand new month coming up!

UPDATED: Cattle killed on northbound I-35 during wreck
I heard some cattle jumped off the bridge and it even got uglier,...the poor Dallas Sheriff'sDepartment helped with the clean-up. Heard it would re-open by 11am. But a difficult situation indeed. One can only imagine as only about 40 cattle survived this accident. Sad day on I-30, eastbound and westbound way out in Hunt County, I-30 was shut-down for hours as well due to a pedestrian fatality.

The "Parade of Giants",..can't really tell who is supposed to be who,...was Pancho Medrano one of them? Great three day celebration. I attended the sunrise 6:40am party Sunday morning,..was fantastic. Very private and all the former Mayors were there, Senators,... Secret Service for Ambassador Ron Kirk from the President Obama White House and more. Fun and solid!

Eight McKinney residents arrested in heroin ring
I have seen way too many drug and alcohol deaths FIRST-HAND as former Director of the 65 resident,......(lost 14 last yar alone)at The Dallas 24 Hour Club,....in some cases jail-time is the ONLY cure for heroin addicts,...sadly.

Lakewood Bar and Grill shut down on Wednesday
I stand corrected to a certain extent,...so is it always and only "all about the money?".

The landlord could have,.... and SHOULD have worked with this tenant,...now they will have NO revenue generated for this location/leased spot,...greedy, greedy and an "unamerican" move by the landlords,...in my opinion. We are in a depressed economy,..work with everyone people,...now many are out of work,...bands out of work and no more fun in that Lakewood area spot for now.

UPDATEDx3 personal account and photos: Electric Daisy Carnival in Dallas ended abruptly; one dead
Excellent reporting Pegasus News! I see the update/proven comments,...I am following this closely. But,...just now on Ch.8,5,4,11 the City of Dallas is worried as the event had rampant drug use on city owned property. Listen-- Party too much, one takes risks. It is that simple. Kiddo's,...take it easy,...take that from a pro and former party king,....too much, too quickly and you will have the ride of your life but also remember,....what goes up, must come down and sometimes you go down six feet under permanently. Take it easy and maybe just abstain altogether,...if you can? Enjoy the clubs and concerts, but don't overdo it. Just wanted to share my opinion guys and gals.

Been there, done that,..history repeats itself,...one or two will ALWAYS die from rave parties or other "huge and awesome party bashes",.. Just the way it is,...sadly. OK here we go way back,...how many died at that Woodstock event in the 1960's. Or when I ran the nightclubs in town like Area 51, after I took it over from The Starck Club,..some died, one kid fell from the Woodall Rodgers Freeway overpass, Point is you party too much, you cross the line, you die. PERIOD.

UPDATEDx4 with photos: Opening day at In-N-Out Burgers in Frisco is a zoo
They have the BEST PR Machine I have seen in quite a while. The launch here in Dallas was fantastic press-wise. EVERY local tv news was there,... not once but four times a day yesterday and the day before. It was awesome PR at it's finest. Most of the people in line were paid in advance to help market the whole event and this opening. Genius!!

Dallas a little less rich and glamorous since Khloe Kardashian Odom left
I saw her at a basketball game. I'll never wash my eyes again.
