  Church's Chicken despoiling the name Texas with fried chicken in the U.K.

  Historical note: Church's Fried Chicken began in San Antonio during the 1950's. So, it has a legitimate claim to being "Texas Chicken" (although I MUCH preferred Leslie's, Church's was certainly a much tastier alternative to that damned Kentucky colonel who pressure-cooked his chicken).

  Some unexpected places closed on Easter Sunday in Dallas

  "If you hate America and capitalism, you can take your fascist attitudes elsewhere and impose communist control over their daily lives." Pavel Lishin, describing you as narcissistic does not make me fascist, or communist. In fact, I believe that your incendiary response proves my point.

  I can't remember the last time I saw such a gathering of narcissistic children. "I" can't do this when and where I want to; "they" won't let me have what I want when I want it; "I" don't care about anybody else but me!!! Grow up, get a life.

  Dallas ISD's Arts Magnet to return to Arts District April 21

  Congratulations to the students, faculty, and administrators at Booker T., as well as all the private sector folks who raised the additional money and made this happen. And to those whiny parents who complained when they were inconvenienced by the temporary move, I look forward to seeing your good wishes and apologies for trying to mess up the redevelopment process for your own selfish desires. Oh, never mind, I am sure that you have moved on, by now.

  UPDATED x 2: Historic Hard Rock Cafe building in Dallas gets the axe

  Oh, yeah. I can just see Angela Hunt and the entire McKinney Avenue business, residential, and cultural constituency supporting a homeless shelter at the Hard Rock. NIMBY.

  Dallas apartment complex to residents: Merry Christmas and get out

  Folks, this is not transit-oriented redevelopment, and this is not Lake Highlands anything. It is located at Skillman and Northwest Highway, miles from any DART line, and you can expect more big-box retailers. Score: cars 1, trees 0.

  Kansas City group lobbying for daily train service to Dallas

  I hope that the Northern Flyer Alliance does a better job with train-planning than it does with fact-checking. It talks about extending the current Oklahoma City-Dallas route to Kansas City. Folks, there ain't no train between Oklahoma City-Dallas. There is one, however, between Oklahoma City-Fort Worth, the Heartland Flyer. I'm sure the folks in Cowtown will not be pleased to learn that Dallas has hijacked their train.

  Live Oak Street exit on US-75 Southbound closed till 2009 due to DART Green Line construction

  Instead of closing the left lane of Central back up at the Haskell/Lemmon exit, why not move it closer to the Woodall Rodgers exit where a large chunk of Central traffic exits, and avoid this long bottleneck that the present lane closure causes?

  The TRE rocks the house

  Now imagine that same experience on a high-speed train to Austin, or Houston--better than a wider highway? better than a Southwest Airlines cattle car?

  Stop dressing up your dogs in costumes

  Easter Sunday. 1 o'clock. Pooch Parade. Best Dressed Dogs in Dallas (and that's saying something).
