| | | The Rise and Fall of the Biggest Illegal Sports-Betting Ring in Dallas History by Sean Chaffin  One morning in 2011, just after sunrise, a swarm of federal agents rolled quietly down a neatly manicured cul-de-sac in Southlake, the city police's SWAT alongside them. They gathered outside the home of their target, a $750,000 spread with five bedrooms, five bathrooms and a swimming pool, all sitting on a tree-lined half-acre lot in perhaps Dallas' most idyllic suburb. Around 7, they knocked on the door, and waited. more >>
| | | Why Corey Perry Is My Least Favorite Human Being Hockey has some real pantomime villains. Soccer, sure, there were some bad guys. Luis Suarez, for instance, is very keen on biting people, as you do. He was also suspended for being a racist. Joey Barton tends to spend more time suspended than he does on the field, for a series of petulant misdemeanors. Hockey, however, has the best bad guys of all. more >> | | | | | | The Best North Texas Rap and Hip Hop Acts by Rodney Blu  It's that time of the year again when artists and creatives of the Dallas-Fort Worth area vie for honors in the annual Dallas Observer Music Awards. The polls are open and votes are being cast everyday for the city's most celebrated acts. To prepare you for the festivities -- the showcase takes place on Saturday, December 6 in Deep Ellum and the awards ceremony on Tuesday, December 9 at Granada Theater -- we're taking the opportunity to highlight the 2014 DOMA hopefuls. more >> | | | Jack Ingram's "It's Always Gonna Rain" Gives Us Hope for 2015 Though he hasn't officially released music in five years, for many of us in North Texas Jack Ingram hasn't gone away. For starters, he performs around here a lot; he's hit Plano, Dallas and Fort Worth in the past two months alone. And more importantly, he's built up an impressive catalog of songs over his 19-year recording career -- a career which started here in Dallas, for the uninitiated. more >> | | | | | | Proof + Pantry Conjures Something Unique From a Tired Space by Scott Reitz  Specials typically have a less-than-savory connotation within the restaurant industry. If a chef orders too much meat for Friday and Saturday night dinner services, he might throw what's left in the grinder the next morning, creating the makings for a meatball special for Sunday brunch. more >> | | | Skip the Gross Turkey This Year And Let Pecan Lodge Smoke Your Thanksgiving Dinner In theory, Thanksgiving is the time of the year when you get together with your family to be grateful, watch football, and eat yourself into a coma. Unfortunately, though, this holiday often ends up being more about listening to your racist Aunt Edna rant about ebola and Obama, and worse, eating Grandma's desert-dry stuffing and those weird sweet potatoes with the marshmallows on top. more >> | | | | | | Nightcrawler's Jake Gyllenhaal on Why We're to Blame for Tabloid News by Amy Nicholson  Jake Gyllenhaal is used to exhaustion. During his research for the LAPD drama End of Watch, he spent five months patrolling the streets with real-life police officers until 7 a.m. It was good preparation for his new movie Nightcrawler, a blistering portrait of a morally corrupt crime-scene videographer who works the literal graveyard shift. Writer-director Dan Gilroy would start filming at dusk and wrapped after sunrise, a sight Gyllenhaal now knows well. The 33-year-old actor would nap for four hours, and do it all again. more >> | | | Interstellar May Be Grand, But It Doesn't Connect There’s so much space in Christopher Nolan’s nearly three-hour intergalactic extravaganza Interstellar that there’s almost no room for people. This is a gigantosaurus movie entertainment, set partly in outer space and partly in a futuristic dustbowl America where humans are in danger of dying out, and Nolan -- who co-wrote the script with his brother, Jonathan -- has front-loaded it with big themes and even bigger visuals. Interstellar is supposedly all about what it means to be human, but it's supersized in case we really are so out of touch that we need to have everything blown up IMAX-big. more >> | | | | | | | | 10 Best Places in Dallas To Check Out Art For Free If you didn't grow up frequenting museums or galleries, navigating the art world can be extremely intimidating. Thanks to the state of arts education, most of us have a very limited knowledge of art outside of recognizing the "Mona Lisa" or that Van Gogh painting of sunflowers that hung in your mom's kitchen. Plus, there's this long-held idea that viewing and learning about art is extremely expensive. more >> | | | | | | | | | | | | | Coupons >> |
