The West End district, located in downtown Dallas , is perhaps unlike any other area in downtown Dallas.  The West End Dallas has the best of the present...and the past. The newly constructed American Airlines center offers the best of sporting events and concerts (ask Texas/OU weekend visitors!).  Many shops and restaurants give a wonderful lifestyle to both visitors and residents.  Add to that the fascinating museums and attractions, and you truly have a gem in Dallas.   .       The West End Dallas is experiencing a revival.  Popularity had waned in the early part of the decade, but exciting nightlife and shops, along with the American Airlines center, have caused this to be a truly happenning neighborhood again!  One of the most newest and hippest restaurants in all of Dallas is loc...

            There was a time when American Airlines was one of the most respected passenger carriers in the United States.  I'm talking about a time when fares were regulated and the number of direct flights was far less than today.             In the 1950s, American Airlines advertising and marketing consultants came up with a brilliant idea.  The company would broadcast a nightly program on the biggest radio station in each market the carrier served.  Dallas, Chicago, New Orleans, Los Angeles, New York, Washington, D.C.              The list goes on.             It would be called "American Airlines' Music ‘til Dawn," and it would be hosted by a mellow-voiced announcer with a romantic fullness.  He would intersperse dreamy classical and popular orchestrations with poetry readings and ...

The Church of the Incarnation is an Episcopal church in downtown Dallas with a membership of some 5,000.  The church is of gothic revival architecture.  Congregants worship among glorious stained glass windows and the superior fullness of an organ that boasts more than 4,000 pipes.With frequency, members of other denominations join Incarnation members for a service held each Sunday at 5 PM.  It is known as Evensong.The tradition of Evensong, which dates back to the middle 1600s, is totally sung by Incarnation’s exceptional choir.  The big organ’s background accentuates the loveliness of the service.The Holy Eucharist, as a short additional service, follows.  And in the Episcopal Church, all baptized Christians, regardless of their denominational affiliation, are welcome to participate i...

Uptown Dallas - INSIDER'S REVIEW of CORK       Location. Cork is located in the hot West Village area. 3636 McKinney Avenue is the listed address, but you really have to go on Cityplace Boulevard that is perpendicular to McKinney Avenue to get to the entrance.  3636 McKinney Avenue, Dallas, TX  75204 - 214.780.0373     Look/Feel - 5 stars Cork is essentially a great combination of a wine sampling and retail store.  It's a way to taste a WIDE variety of fun wines without having to buy the entire bottle.  But, of course, wine bottles are stored throughout the shelves for reasonable prices.  Cork got it right in the look.

Uptown Dallas - INSIDER'S GUIDE to the right area in Uptown Dallas for YOUR Apartment   Uptown Dallas. It's hot, and everyone wants to live there in Dallas...and why not? Its just got so many restaurants and shops to enjoy, both during the day and for exciting night life.  It's where trendy begins and ends in Dallas.  And it's just getting more and more popular, with new shops and restaurants opening up.    But, Uptown Dallas really does have enough of a difference in the areas that you really need to understand where you want to live.  There are some more "laid back" areas, some more "frenetic" areas...and some areas that are ultimately upscale.  Here is just one person's perspective....   West Village Based on just apartment pricing, the West Village area would have to be the "hottes...

This house was conceived to be a house on a hill on a unique site in Dallas executed in the Edwardian Style. A private and tranquil property in the heart of the ultra exclusive Old Preston Hollow estate area with 5.3 acres of exquisite trees and picturesque views of Bachman Creek was the perfect spot for this landmark home.As I began to do research I discovered that Edwardianism was not so much a style as a historical time period and a way of life. The period relates to the time just after the death of Queen Victoria in 1901, ascension to the throne of Edward VII, and his subsequent death in 1910 (though the period could be said to have lasted until 1939). It was a time of great wealth in England, a care free life style, and the construction of some of the great English country houses. ...

When I was a kid, everyone made jokes about the sleazy business practices of door-to-door vacuum cleaner salesmen.  They'd stop by and offer to clean your house for free.  Their model came with 50-thousand attachments, even a paint sprayer can.And they'd clean this and that and the curtains and then they'd take the cleaner over so it could suck your mattresses and pillows into amoeba-size pieces of matter, all in the name of getting rid of dirt."But will it pick up everything?" the salesman would scream as he would throw a tin can full of metal washers on the floor and let the hose attachment draw the clanking mess up inside of the dirt burial ground.  The next thing you knew, the salesman had joined your family for dinner, and then he'd put your kids in bed and read them a story."Got a...

Cartier.  Louis-Françoise Cartier took over the shop of famed Paris jewelry designer, Adolph Picard, in 1847.  One hundred, sixty years later, bijoutier de la boîte rouge has opened an exquisite boutique in Dallas' famed NorthPark Mall.  In fact, it's next door to another fine jeweler, Tiffany & Company, and at the mall entrance of Neiman-Marcus.I shopped the store last evening.  The store design and fixturing is superb.  The merchandise is meant for the finest taste.The 5 Browns.  You've seen the five Brown Family teenagers, all pianists, on a number of television programs.  Their ten hands temper the classics in a most remarkable way.  They have a new CD titled "The Browns in Blue."  There are about seventeen tracks from Rachmaninoff's "Rhapsody on the Theme of Paganini" to Gershwin's...

THE FOUNDATION FOR THE TALEWhile World War II didn't officially start until 1941, it might as well have as early as 1938. And that war was on top of the U.S. trying to recover from the Great Depression that had begun about 10 years before.The public relations campaigns that the Allies mounted and operated throughout the Great Depression and World War II were masterful. The one during the war built great patriotism, and encouraged Americans to want to volunteer to fight the enemy.But after that, every skirmish, beginning with Korea, turned into a scrimmage. Huge amounts of money were spent, families' lives were disrupted, limbs and lives were lost, and even though the country's honor was defended, when each fight was over this time, contrary to the past, no white flag was waved by the pe...

The White Rock Lake Artists Studio Tour is this weekend, October 13-14.  From reading the name "White Rock Lake", you would think this tour would be a bunch of booths set up by the different artists around White Rock Lake.However, this is not the case.  It should be named the White Rock AREA Artists Studio Tour.  This is not an ordinary art festival.  You basically go, in your car, from house to house, rather it's studio to studio.  Sounds like an interesting concept.  I'm probably not going to go because I wouldn't feel comfortable getting in and out of the car so many times, and also insulting an artist if I walked in and walked out, but my mother in law is coming in town this weekend to go to it, which is how I heard about it.Here's a link to the information.Here's a link to the map ...
