Bishop Arts/Oakcliff

The Bishop Arts and North Oak Cliff neighborhood feels more like old-school SoHo.  Bohemian gift, antique shops, galleries and dining surrounded by an economically diverse neighborhood are the mainstays for residents in nearby Kessler Park and Stevens Park which is surrounded by a beautiful public golf course.  Natives are protective of the quaint historic and charming store fronts.  Because of Bishop Arts non-exclusive feel and lower real estate price tag, first-rate established restaurants have gained renewed interest from intrigued visitors and new locals, who are moving in, after discovering it’s only a 5-minute trek across the river from of downtown.

Hatties

We get that mid-western and Easterners think catfish are bottom feeders but if you really want to do what the locals do, the pecan encrusted catfish will make a believer out of anyone.  And with one of their designer salads such as the Knife and Fork Caesar or our favorite, the Spinach with chopped hard boiled egg, the Mac and Cheese is a meal for two. That and a bottle of wine and it feels like you’re being a little naughty.  No visit would be complete without the Friend Green Tomatoes (shown).

Editorial

Solving DISD Budget Crisis Will Take Common Sense Solutions

In reviewing the wringing of hands and gnashing of teeth over whose fault the current school debt crisis is in DISD, we can’t depend on the State. Citizens and Corporate Dallas needs to own up and quash the talk about firing or paying off teachers to leave which would raise the classroom ratio to 35/1.  It’s time we get real and do what should have been done a long time ago in regards to sales tax, property tax and privatization. 

After thinking about it, it’s awfully coincidental that our public school failings, both fiscally and behaviorally, began when helicopter parents, lawyers and overly sensitive public school administrators jacked the Six Grade Crossing Guard.
