    Argentinian restaurant Don Panza changing name and address in Dallas' Bishop Arts

    Man, I never even knew they were in Bishop Arts! I thought they were over on Clarendon still....

    Breeders oppose Dallas' proposed animal control ordinance

    The "breeder" issue aside, something needs to be done in terms of animal populations and the treatment of them. I live in Oak Cliff and have have animals (a couple rescued a couple not). We are responsible with our animals and they are very well cared for. However, our rescued chihuahua did have a brush with the law.... When we had him vaccinated for rabies, we did not register him with the county (something we were not aware of as a requirement). Animal Control appeared on our doorstep (I'm sure after having waded through all the squashed dogs and cats in the streets and through the MANY stray/loose dogs roaming around) to give us a ticket for failing to have our little scofflaw registered. We were only too happy to comply with the law! Not a very good use of resources, though. Within a one-block area I can promise you that there are numerous dogs on chains who live their entire lives outside and never come off the chain (you can hear them barking/howling all night every night!).

    Rawlins is quite right to point out the fact that this is a matter of education. Our neighbor breeds pit bulls and the parking lot on the corner is full of people hawking pit puppies out of their trunks during the weekend and on holidays(?). The idea that a person could make a bunch of money breeding pit bulls is idiotic (supply and demand - remember? I don't think there is anywhere near a shortage of pit bull puppies that would keep the price high!). I wonder what happens to all of those puppies? Oh yeah, go for a jog over at Kiest Park and you'll see many of them all grown up and running around on the loose! Or maybe you'll see what's left of them on Hampton or 12th Street.....

    Cosmo Rouge bites the dust

    Hi, Susan! Oak Cliff Pizza is quite good! Good pie at reasonable prices. Oh, and the folks who work in/run the place are of the nicest sort.

    Southwest Center Mall slowly fading away

    We moved to the Oak Cliff area about nine months ago and I have frequented the Sears in the mall and the Petco (which, sadly, is closing) in the adjacent parking lot. We, as a family, try very hard to do our shopping in the neighborhood so that we can do our part to keep local merchants in business and ensure that we have a decent selection of retailers around. I was just in the mall yesterday and it was depressing (letters missing from store signage, pay-phones either bashed out or removed and LOTS of people just milling around staring at each other). I didn't really see any shopping going on.... I can't say that I have really ever felt "threatened" while there, but it is not a very inviting place. This area has a lot to offer. It's too bad that there is so much decay....
