Business Insider says Houston is "best city in America"
Also, compare the shopping. We have NorthPark and we're the birthplace of Neiman-friggin-Marcus. Verdict: Dallas.

Compare the skylines. Houston's is taller but ugly as sin. Love it or hate it, ours "shine bright like a diamond." Verdict: Dallas.

Sushi restaurant Uchi will open in Uptown Dallas
Let's see how many other Austin establishments we can get in this part of Uptown. With Uchi and Whole Foods opening around the same time, how about an Austin Java or Amy's Ice Cream? We can even rename that part of town "Little Austin".

Historic Alamo motel sign will be cut into three in Oak Cliff development
I hate this idea. There is no reason to destroy the sign and spread it around the development.
Sylvan Thirty has a plaza meant to be an open space for visitors and residents. Why not call that plaza ALAMO PLAZA and just plant the sign there?

Sounds really interesting. Can't wait to check it out.

Dallas-based Pecan Lodge is Texas Monthly's second-best barbecue joint, sort of
Anyone know how Pecan Lodge will fare through the Farmers Market privatization? Are they staying, going, moving to a new location inside the market when it gets upgraded?

Joule Hotel expansion brings cocktails, fashion, food to downtown Dallas
I hope this inspires other retailers to open shops in nearby vacant spaces. Preferably stores that are more accessible to the rest of us.

Design District's new bowling alley offers cheap play and craft beer
Yet another example of how the Design District is doing everything right that Victory Park has done wrong. Places like Bowlounge/Twisted Root, Slice by Sfuzzi, Central Standard and The Food Boutique are providing the things that Victory should've offered YEARS ago. They cannot open fast enough.

Centralink, Dallas' network of shared bike lanes downtown, opens June 1
I absolutely hate shared lanes, but on Sunday I almost got run over by a vehicle going north on Houston St. Had the road not been clearly marked as a shared lane, the driver would've thought I was invading her space and surely would've honked, accelerated or who knows what.

UPDATED: Pearl Cup moves into Dallas Arts District May 13
I've actually had to eat at 7-Eleven before a show because I didn't have time to sit down at one of the other restaurants. Maybe this will be a good middle-ground alternative.

Cinco de Mayo is integral to American culture
Thanks for that history lesson. If you want to know about the actual Mexican Independence Day (September 16th) here you go: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grito_de...

UPDATED: Second Katy Trail Ice House will open in Plano in late May
Will it be called Katy Trail Ice House and not be along the Katy Trail? That would be puzzling.

Dallas Midtown architects plan to create a city within a city
"city within a city" = disconnected car-centric ghost town.

On Holocaust Remembrance Day, meet Dallas resident Max Glauben, who survived five concentration camps and shares his stories at Dallas Holocaust Museum and other places.
Are there still plans to move the Holocaust Museum into a new building on Houston St? What's the status on that?

UPDATED: Bishop Cider Company reached its fundraising goal
Happy to have contributed (albeit a very small amount). It's fun being able to help launch these businesses.

Opinion: Save the farmer's market by bringing it out of downtown and to the people
There's a good reason to keep the farmers market where it is as well. I support the current plan to improve the market while increasing residential units.

Perot Museum may expand
I'm sure the museum can only expand in the direction of Victory Park, but it would be nice if any expansion included better pedestrian access from downtown or Klyde Warren Park.

Bill could allow liquor stores to sell on Sundays in Texas
I empathize with the small businesses who'd be forced to open on Sundays, but I don't think stifling competition is ever justified. Banning liquor sales on Sundays is outdated and makes no sense.
