| | | Lack of Trust Could Stunt "Grow South" BY JIM SCHUTZE  "Grow South" is Dallas Mayor Mike Rawlings' initiative to erase or at least soften the hard economic border dividing white North Dallas from black and Hispanic southern Dallas. When Rawlings ad libs about it from a chair out front of his desk in his City Hall office, he can reel off neighborhoods and what's going on in each of them, showing that he's been there and he knows where all the chess pieces are on the board. It's not possible to hear him talk about it and doubt his sincerity or commitment. But what a bitch. Bitter memory and a hundred miles of bad road stand in the way of trust. Don't forget.

Ramen has achieved cult status here and everywhere, as young chefs and young diners, many just learning to slurp, embrace the timeless culinary art form. Pho's popularity has been more muted, which is strange, because the steaming bow... more >> | | | | | | Liam Neeson Stomps Right Through Non-Stop BY STEPHANIE ZACHAREK  Action heroes with nothing to lose are the best kind, perhaps the only kind worth watching. In the opening seconds of Jaume Collet-Serra's Non-Stop, Liam Neeson's federal air marshal Bill Marks slumps in his parked vehicle, sloshing a few glugs of whiskey into a paper cup and stirring it up with a toothbrush handle. Then he readies himself for work by taking a hit of Binaca and pauses for a momen... more >> | | | | | | | | At Kitchen Dog Theater, Whose Hat Is It Anyway? BY ELAINE LINER  Some characters in plays are people you'd like to know in real life. In The Motherfucker with the Hat, the five characters, with maybe one exception, you are happy to walk away from after 95 minutes. That's how long Stephen Adly Guirgis' profanity-spewing dark comedy lasts and that's more than enough time spent with Jackie and Veronica and Ralph and Victoria, all addicts in one way or another, an... more >> | | | | | | DC9 At Night We do not know if you can buy, say, a taco with a song in Denton. We haven't tried it. But we wouldn't be surprised if you could. You can see Denton's musical influence all over North Texas. ...
