  Movie review: Capitalism: A Love Story

  Moore's just your typical Lear Jet Liberal but the scary thing is there are people in the world who do take his movies as factual documentaries.

  He's good at what he does, in a Rush Limbaugh sort of way, but I refuse to give him one penny of my money in ticket sales.

  Woodall Rodgers Deck Park could uproot negative perceptions of past Dallas projects

  Is this project paid for? Over on Unfair Park they're already talking about proposed tax hikes in the works.

  Photo gallery: Ridin' the new DART rail 'round Dallas

  I can get from my home in Oak Cliff to Fair Park without getting in my car. Good work DART.

  What's the planned expansion? It would be awesome to have an express line from downtown to DFW. I know the TRE goes out there but you still have to take a bus from the TRE stop into the airport.

  In-depth study: How has the economy affected Dallas-Fort Worth school districts' budgets?

  The Dean of Instruction at my wife's DISD HS where she teaches was in tears during a staff meeting because they're short handed and no one has been trained on the new scheduling system apparently.

  Some classes have 60 kids in them which is above the state allowed limit. Many kids are just sitting in the auditorium all day because they have no where to go.

  The future of the past: The C. M. Davis “Aparthomes” in Fort Worth

  My wife and I were just looking at something like this on the inet last night. Prefab concrete single bedroom home kits for around $25k. They would make a very cool lake house.

  Photo gallery: Dallas World Aquarium welcomes wildlife expert Nigel Marven

  I love the Dallas World Aquarium. I like how all those flamingos are just a short hop away from the shark tank. Every time i go there I spend at least 10 minutes waiting for a Flamingo to hop over the glass. I've set to see it happen though.

  The sloth they have is way cool too.

  It's funny that after hanging around Deep Ellum since the 90's the first time i'm going to see the toadies live is on my honeymoon in London.

  Urbanmarket in downtown Dallas shrinking, having troubles

  I bet the CVS on Main is killing them on simple groceries and the Jason's Deli is killing them on food.

  it's kinda scary that DISD called it right on this one. I'm sure it was accident.

  "I wonder if they make biohazard neoprene skiboard suits? "

  no doubt, I would never get in that river. I've seen so many dead things in that very area (by the foot bridge) it's disgusting. Not to mention the mercury level is probably off the charts.

  Deep Ellum gallery Road Agent continues to support the arts despite trying economy

  I love to see good news come out of Deep Ellum. There's so many people who wake up thinking about ways to make Deep Ellum better and goto sleep thinking about ways to make Deep Ellum better.

  Reminds me of the Christians who use to hang out and berate passers by in Deep Ellum. What's the point?

  Woodall Rodgers Park project in Dallas receives federal stimulus funds

  This is one project that I stand behind. I've always felt that Woodall Rogers splits downtown, this park should help make the city more whole. I hope they can keep it on schedule and on budget, it's pretty ambitious.

  Oak Cliff's Bishop Arts District faces potential expansion

  One thing that I really like about Davis is that there's just always so much going on. Between Edgefield and Zang there's like a small farmer's market, some car garages, a pizza place, ice cream, a bar or two, clothes, art, and restaurants. Davis is such a cool little scene of people living in their neighborhood.

  Oak Cliff's Bishop Arts District faces potential expansion

  I moved to Oak Cliff from Deep Ellum last summer. My gf and I ride bikes down to Bishop Arts regularly.

  I wouldn't exactly call Bishop Arts proper "funky" but it is a nice area. Davis street is really amazing though. If it were up to me to improve the area I would work on Davis street. I definitely wouldn't try to replace what's on Davis because that would just make it suck. Instead, the street just needs some general building improvements. Some new paint on signage, newly painted parking strips and just like general facade repair. That's all the area really needs and in this economy it's the best bang for the buck.

  ps "Upscale retail" went out with the stock market last Fall.

  Army Reservist thinks he saw a mountain lion in an Arlington park

  I agree, mountain lions are heavier unless it was a kitten(cub?) or something. Still, i wouldn't want to tangle with a bobcat either, think of bobcat as a tornado of razor blades haha.

  btw, i've seen video of a mountain lion taking an Elk off its feet after about a 20 foot pounce. thanks but no thanks!

  Chesapeake may drill near Fort Worth's Trinity Trails

  I thought Chesapeake suspended all new drilling because they're caught up in the economic crisis.

  Is this just a permit that took months to work its way through the city or are they actually going to drill?
