Turtle Creek

Although it’s not an Entertainment District, the beautiful 100 year-old, high-rise lined boulevard is home to empty-nesters and young professionals who love the bird’s eye view and say no thanks to yard maintenance.  Residents entertain themselves in nearby Oak Lawn, Uptown and Park Cities.  The banks of the luscious creek and the greens at Lee Park and Arlington Hall are home to numerous events and festivals throughout the year such as the Easter in the Park Pooch Parade and the Turtle Creek Home Tour.  The Katy Trail; an in-town hike, bike and jogging path open to the public separates Oak Lawn from Uptown and is on the eastern border.

Wild Horses

Religion, sexual discovery, child psychology, parental issues, ritual sacrifice …and horses.  The various themes addressed in Peter Shaffer’s Tony Award winning play, written in 1973, could all be the backbone of any narrative if tackled individually, but in Equus the convergence of multiple storylines makes for a production that is uniquely deep and layered.

Festival will take place from Noon to 6 pm

Watching the pride parade surrounded by what seemed like thousands of teens and listening to their comments a few weeks ago, the signs and floats that impressed them the most demonstrated by them cheering enthusiastically were from area religious organizations and churches.  Coming from various neighborhoods in North Dallas, East Dallas, West Dallas, Oak Cliff and Park Cities, they were represented by young children in trailers and wagons and their Moms and Dads were holding up signs that said things like “We believe in the separation of church and hate”  and other similar slogans.

I Love You, You’re Perfect, Now Change!

No movie scene has ever made me squirm in my seat and cover my eyes in embarrassment more than when Jon Favreau’s character, Mikey in Swingers who pathetically conducts a relationship on an answering machine and goes from trying to set up a first date to “this just isn’t working out.” in a series of messages within a few minutes with a girl he just met - it’s like looking through your fingers at a car careening towards a brick wall.
