| | | Bentley the Ebola Dog's Monitoring Cost $27,000 by By Stephen Young  Of the just more than $155,000 the city of Dallas spent responding to Ebola, almost $27,000 -- just more than 17 percent of the total -- went to caring for Bentley, Nina Pham's King Charles Spaniel. The majority of the Bentley cash, $17,057.46, was spent on getting Grand Prairie Armed Forces Reserve Complex ready for the dog's stay and providing security at the former Naval Air Station. more >>
| | | | | | | | | | The 20 Best Songs Ever Written About Dallas Oh, Dallas. You give us all the feels. Sometimes we love you, sometimes we get tripped up on your oversized ego. But mostly we just love you, and in particular, we dig your music. We're not the only ones, either: Artists from around the world have been inspired to write songs about this city, whether it was because of the skyline, the honky tonks or even just the groupies. (Yes, we said groupies.) more >> | | | | | | Oak Cliff's VH Has Everything a Good Restaurant Needs -- Except a Pulse by Scott Reitz  It had all the makings of an epic tale. Eric Brandt, a competent and capable chef, and Victor Hugo, a front-of-the-house guy with exceptional customer service skills, had grown restless and needed a change. They'd been working together at Bistro 31 in Highland Park, where Brandt plated up Americanized riffs on French cuisine under Dallas restaurant kingpin Alberto Lombardi. But like many restaurant employees, the two yearned for a place of their own. They even had the drive and resources to do it. So one day they slipped across the Trinity River into Oak Cliff and quietly opened VH in the most unlikely location. more >> | | | | | | | | Garfield Creator Jim Davis Explains Why Cats Rule the Internet by Amy Nicholson  Garfield creator Jim Davis is well aware of the internet's cat obsession. In fact, he's got an upcoming strip about it. "But if I told you the joke, I'd have to kill you," he deadpans, before cracking his paternal composure with a chuckle. (He did tell me, and I've chosen life.) more >> | | | The Scarifying Babadook Is a Rare Horror Triumph If we're honest, most of us who relish a good horror film don't actually hope to feel something like horror. The appeal is, instead, that of shock and surprise, all candied up, the crowd-pleasing bits staged with the kind of extended setup/payoff patience that the makers of comedies have long forgotten: When will the gag hit, what will it be, and how will the heroine survive it? The smartly booby-trapped stuck-in-the-basement scenes in Annabelle could be swapped with those in The Conjuring or the between-the-walls frights of The Pact — their selling point is variety and execution within a framework of comforting ritual. Indie or studio, well-acted or campy, these movies feel like good-enough beers from the same reliable brewery, fit for a pleasant buzz but nothing you have to worry might jack up your night. more >> | | | | | | DTC's Christmas Carol Comes Wrapped in Surprises by Elaine Liner  The latest production of Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol by Dallas Theater Center at the Wyly Theatre will make you forget ghosts of Carols past. DTC artistic director Kevin Moriarty has adapted the familiar story his way, with pointed political commentary about the plight of the poor and a noticeable emphasis on the message that "the world is becoming a hard and cruel place," where people are used like machines and the rich begrudge the working poor the smallest perks and privileges. Like getting holidays off. more >> | | | HBO's Getting On Is the Brainiest (and Fartiest) Comedy You're Not Watching Hospitals are depressing. Until recently, medical shows glossed over this basic fact of life by focusing on the most glamorous clique within them: doctors. For the past two decades, the upwardly mobile audience identification integral to most TV shows taught us to look away from the bedpans and sheaves of insurance paperwork and focus instead on the halos (ER), the lip gloss (Grey's Anatomy), the chicken soup for the soul (Scrubs), or the preening intellect (House) of every hospital's upper crust. more >> | | | | | | | | | | | | | Coupons >> |
