It is painfully obvious to everyone that what Downtown Dallas needs most right now is some sort of mass transit system to connect the different hubs of development. They're too far to walk between and too close to drive. So...
Among the things you don't expect to see during the morning rush hour downtown: A kid on a skateboard, hanging on to the back of a pickup, zipping along Ervay Street. He sure has a lot more faith in the...
Ann S. Miller sent in this photo worth sharing of her daughter almost getting carried away in a windy downtown Dallas: My daughter, Bethany Johnson, married Matthew Newton on Saturday at the Mercantile in downtown Dallas, which is a...
I swear, if Saint Peter gave some people the OK to enter heaven, their first question would be: "Is there parking?" I'm getting the same sort of reaction to Sunday's column urging folks to visit Downtown Dallas. I don't know...
Much interesting response since I sounded off this week about the splendid revitalization of downtown Fort Worth, and what Dallas still needs for its own central-city renaissance. Opinions I got varied, ranging from "It'll never happen" to "We're already on...

I was pained by a woman's letter to the editor today, one proclaiming downtown Dallas a "huge disappointment." She was put off by a few panhandlers. (Hint: Just keep walking. They don't bite.) I hope that Frisco resident won't scare...

Dallas County commissioners, however, are...
We were sad to learn that the best-lunch-for-your-money, mom-and-pop spot in downtown Dallas is closing shop, possibly as soon as next week. The Zodiac Greek Grill has been dishing it out on Main Street for 17 years, but now the...
OK, it wasn't that bad. I'm talking about our first workday commute from Anna to downtown Dallas. My daughter and her family recently moved to the Collin County burb, and my wife and I stayed overnight. Generally, it takes us...
