Plano can now sell liquor
It would be nice if Specs could expand their store or move to a larger location so they'd have all the products that the Specs on Central Expressway has.

Lisa Lampanelli came to Dallas, so we Mad-Libbed her 6 best jokes
We have seen her twice. The first time was so good my face was hurting from laughing so much. The next time was just ok. She had just gotten married and brought her husband out on stage which ended up being a little awkward, and a lot of her material was just the same stuff from before, just reworked a little. Didn't go to the most recent show. If you ever go see her, definitely sit down in the first few rows. It makes a huge difference.

Restaurant review: DISH's menu and cocktails cater to wide variety of customers
I love Dish. Never had a bad meal there. Service and food is always excellent.

State rep wants to rename part of Central Expressway George W. Bush Expressway
I saw something on TV a couple days where he is taking painting lessons from this lady. He likes to paint cats and dogs. Other ex-presidents do things to give back/contribute in some way. George W paints cats and dogs.

Artisan butchers may be few, but they are dedicated to preserving the craft
Hirsch's Meats is also good. They are in Plano.

Now Plano's got a flashing yellow arrow
We have them in Valley Ranch. I had no idea what the reason was behind it though. Every now and then I'll enter the intersection, on a flashing yellow light, and then when I'm turning I'll notice the light has suddenly turned red. Feel like I'm running a red light.

Dallas Farmers Market is getting a facelift, going private
First, I'll believe it when I see it. Second, it will never come close to the one in Seattle.

Beth Van Duyne, Mayor of Irving dumped by husband of seven years. Tries to hide divorce by only filing under her intials E.V. What is she hiding? Paternity issues,alcohol/drug abuse, financial woes? The community wants to know.
Maybe she wants privacy?

Opinion: Mother who glued toddler's hands to wall should have gotten shorter sentence
Melinda, that is terrible. So glad she got the long sentence.

Opinion: Mother who glued toddler's hands to wall should have gotten shorter sentence
I think she's a horrible person and got what she deserved. I read in the DMN (I think) that her past included being in a gang and assaulting her own mother. When she was arrested for beating her daughter, she bonded out, the next day had another baby, and then a month later went to a party, got into a brawl, and was arrested again. I wouldn't want to meet her in a dark alley.

Ranking the new fried foods at the State Fair of Texas
The mac-n-cheese slider I got was really good. I ate the mac-n-cheese separately from the meat, and I threw out the bread. The mac-n-cheese part was perfect. I got it inside that building where they sell all the mattresses and spas. The fried jambalaya I got was excellent. Could not have been better. I got it across from the dog show. I discovered last year that some of the items taste completely different from one stand/location to another. Like, maybe some of the people aren't trained in how to make the food properly?

State Fair’s pricey Chinese Lantern Festival now costs less
Totally agree. I wouldn't pay the reduced price either.

Mexican food review: Anamia's Tex-Mex in Plano
I have only been to the location in Coppell, but have been there several times. Except for the table-side guac, it's extremely average. I hate big chains, but I would venture to say that On the Border has better food and better service.

Tuesday's the day for the primary election runoff
I am SO GLAD those horrible Cruz-Dewhurst ads are coming to an end. Don't care who wins. I just want to be able to turn on the morning news and not be subjected to all the hate.

5 reasons Steven Tyler is better off without American Idol
He had a lot of energy last night, but he has pretty much lost his voice. He spent a lot of time doing other things than singing, and there was the strangest thing where he kept disappearing behind the curtain.....over and over and over. I saw them 25 years ago when they were good. Last night they were just ok.

The Dallas Morning News acquires Pegasus News
Agree with steeled. Hope DMN doesn't screw this up. Their writers are mediocre at best, restaurant reviews are usually off base, the facebook comments are awful....oh, and every summer their sports writers somehow convince themselves that the Cowboys are going to the Super Bowl.... Hope they leave PegNews alone.

DFW Fourth of July events to light your bulb
I didn't go last year, but have been in the past. Parking and traffic were a nightmare. And the way they close down all the streets and keep them closed is maddening. When I have been, the streets that were supposed to reopen after the show were not reopened. It just adds to the problem. I'm thinking this year I'll try the corn dog fest and air conditioning.
