    Effects of DART light rail on Plano

    "In fact, a significant percentage of the train riders are people who would be taking the bus if there were no train."

    You do realize that if Plano were to exit DART, they'd lose the bus service, too, don't you? DART includes buses as well as light rail.

    Rep. Brian McCall of Plano files bill to exempt pass-through payments from taxable revenue

    Well then the percentage of my rent that goes towards property taxes should also be excluded from my income. Wish me luck in getting that one past the IRS.

    George W. actually shows up at Dallas' Elliott's Hardware

    @robotgas & Kevin

    I think it'd be better to feign ignorance as to who he was. Say something like, "didn't you used to own the Rangers?"

    Covenant coach fired after 100-0 girls' basketball game

    Back in my Sr. year of HS, our girls team beat another team by a score of 105-3. The other team made all of their points on free throws. The next day, their district disbanded their varsity team and only played JV games. Our team said that it would have been an insult to the other team to ease up, yet at the same time, they felt it wasn't very good sportsmanship to run up the score. The only time they actually started to run up the score was when they realized they had a chance to break 100 points, which was something our boys team hadn't done. No one was fired for it, either.

    Texas Education Board to consider equalizing credit for high school student-athletes

    When did athletics switch from being extracurricular to being an elective?

    It seems to me that if any athletic program cuts players from the team, it should extracurricular. If anyone who signs up gets to participate, then I'm fine with it being an elective.

    Driver dies after hitting pole on McKinney Avenue in Uptown Dallas

    "Not much of a curve, really."

    Unless he was speeding. With the brick pavement & Trolley tracks, the road can be rather slick there. If he was speeding, he could very easily have lost control of his car.

    Dallas' DART adding bike racks to 650 buses by end of year

    Thing is, the "so-called spandex crowd" would have no interest in using them.

    Downtown Dallas websites are lacking internet savvy

    My wife offered to set up an informational blog for them over two years ago at no charge to them, they said they'd get back with her and never did.

    The many faces of Belt Line Road

    My wife and I drove around Belt Line Road about 5 years ago (when gas was cheaper). It made for a good way to spend an afternoon.

    DART should consider turnstiles at train stations

    On the northbound Red Line train I rode Sunday morning, a DART cop walked through and checked everyone's tickets/passes. No one got a ticket for not paying, as far as I could tell. I've also seen them come through before. Not every time, of course, but frequently enough that it's not worth the risk, in my opinion. Besides that, it's a cheap ride.

    Dallas-based FedEx Kinko's getting name changed to FedEx Office

    Actually, Kinko's moved their HQ to Dallas in 2001, before FedEx purchased them.

    UNT's FM radio station receives Outstanding Media Award

    I love 88.1. Oh, wait, 88.1 is the frequency we use to broadcast our Sirius radio to the car stereo.

    NBC5 news ratings still faltering

    I can't stand watching NBC5's news. Especially when David Finfrock is doing weather. He seems to have difficulty communicating the report, it's painful to watch.

    Dallas-based Brinker International to sell Romano's Macaroni Grill

    The last time my wife and I went to Macaroni Grill, we sat at our table for 15 minutes, and not one staff member stopped to ask if we would like to order a drink or anything. The last straw was when a waiter made eye contact with my wife, but kept walking past our table without saying a word.

    I called the Guest Services number and have yet to hear back from the manager or anyone else.

    So while their food is good, their service has taken a definite turn for the worse.

    New restaurants opening on Henderson in October include a pizza place

    It could be worse.

    In a 2-block area of Downtown there are 5 Italian restaurants and 2 Mexican restaurants (which happen to be across the street from each other).
