Dallas family's Christmas will be less merry than expected
Sad, they should contact The Stewpot or The Salvation Army for possible, POSSIBLE assistance. I also think the Dallas Police Department might have a "theft victims relief" program,...just not sure.

Henry S. Miller, Jr. dies at age 95
Sad to have read this, but happy Dallas and it's citizens got Henry S. Miller Jr. and his wife Juanita as residents for so many years. They were pioneers, they brought class to Dallas and were heavy supporters of the arts. Knew them well, last met them in 2002, they were "old school Dallas royalty"!

Eat heartily this Thanksgiving without all the guilt
You better be aware, there is a REAL SHORTAGE of pumpkin pie filling and pumpkin products overall, nationwide. I am serious. Go buy it now if it is still on the store shelves, saw this on CNN last night.

Deux, new bar and catering operation, open at Mockingbird Station in Dallas
This is quite the place. Indoor waterfalls, exquisite decor, kinda a mix of Vegas meets New York. I was at the Grand Opening, it was fantastic. Quite a complete mix of people, very interesting and entertaining. As many of you know I have been involved with many restaurants and nightclubs in Dallas over the years and this place is "completely done right", it is a destination. Right in the heart of Mockingbird Station next to the Angelika Theatre and on the DART high-speed rail system, very nice!

How about "world record" for most blogging comments on an old news story?

Dallas Police cracking down on Car Wash on MLK for "open air drug sales"
Kinda funny, what I think "open air" means is these crack dealers usually carry, in thier bare hands, white chunk-rock pieces they sell of cocaine or crack "in the open air" in thier hands. Not sure though, but I HAVE SEEN that take place.

BODIES…The Exhibition to open in West End in Dallas on November 21
This would have been a great draw had it opened during HALLOWEEN, but now is also a great time to see it. DON'T FORGET the HUGE and LOUD military fly-overs in downtown Dallas this Wednesday at 11:00am for Veterans Day!!!

Recession woes penetrate Highland Park and University Park "bubble"
The Plano vs. Highland Park thing has ALWAYS been great banter for morning talk radio as it has been for here. Sorry if I might have stirred-up some emotions,....it is all in good fun and show-business. Everytime in the past,...when it was a slow news day or slow "bits for the show" day,...THIS topic would always come in handy!! Stirs folks up! But in good fun.

A good dose of reality is good for my old neighborhood and my old high school lifestyle. It will toughen them up and re-educate them all on the value of a dollar again. Good thing is most of the homes there are owned, not double or triple mortgaged like in Plano where most people "rent from thier banker" thier homes. Reality check there also!

Nice to see Avi back posting again. I am glad the event went so well. I also enjoy these comments so much, adds some spice to the day. BTW, has NSL closed down? I don't see any activity there until Friday or Saturdays only.

A male Boxer is missing near Oak Cliff in Dallas
Thanks again PegNews for this kinda stuff! By the way, when I read this headline, I thought a real athletic sports boxer went missing! Like George Foreman or Mohammed Ali went missing, awol or something!!

Eight-track exhibit at Barry Whistler Gallery in Deep Ellum plays well with music lovers
I had an 8-track in my 1975 Chrysler Cordoba which also had "real corinthian leather" thanks to Ricardo Montalban and his tv commercials! I hated that one could not fast-forward to the next song on those 8-track tapes.

There could be quite a few artists there if they did it right and put some advertising to work, but no vendor wants to go down there if the
