Good Brisket Tacos at Blue Goose Cantina in Dallas
Get good Tex-Mex here.
I’d been to the Blue Goose Cantina on Greenville, Avenue once before without either my BetterHalf® or TheKiddo™. I could only vaguely recall the food because it was a business outing. And if you know me at all you know what that means—I was only thinking about the business part of the [...]
Baker’s Ribs: TheKiddo™ agrees, it’s the Best Barbecue in Dallas
The sign TheKiddo™ seeks in Deep Ellum.
Any time we’re driving through Deep Ellum, I can count on TheKiddo™ to pipe up from the back seat with a call for, “Carne, carne, carne.” Most of the time this request is followed by, “Cerdito! (pig)” and a *snort* in imitation.
I don’t blame her one bit for being [...]
Bouncy Seats: Dad’s real best friend
No new father should be without one.
I know several fellows that are expecting kids soon, or have only recently joined the fraternity of fatherhood.
Since TheKiddo™ is a bit over three, there are times I’m the most experienced father around. (That’s a scary thought.) In those moments I’m regularly asked a variation of, “What’s [...]
Fun, free, public transportation in Dallas.
Ride the McKinney Avenue Trolley
Free transportation is very hard to beat.
Free transportation that makes TheKiddo™ squeal with joy is even better.
So getting around the Uptown area of Dallas doesn’t get any better than the McKinney Avenue Trolley. I mentioned this wonderful piece of interactive history in a post a couple of days ago, but felt [...]
Best burgers in Dallas are at Twisted Root Burger Company
Deliciously snarky. What's not to love?
Being in Dallas, one would expect a plethora of fine burger joints. This, however is not the case. The few restaurants that are constantly mentioned to me don’t capture my tastebuds or attention long enough to warrant a second chance. (No, I won’t mention any of them here, because I [...]
Fireworks at Fair Park in Dallas
No, we weren't nearly this close.
For the second year in a row, we were in Dallas on the fourth of July with no significant plans to celebrate Independence Day. We’ve sort of made riding the McKinney Avenue Trolley and dining at Cafe Express on McKinney a bit of a tradition, but this year we really [...]
Dallas Zoo: fun for dads and kids
TheKiddo™ loves seeing the okapi at the Dallas Zoo
If you live in Dallas and have young children, there’s one simple question you need to ask yourself: Why aren’t I a member of the Dallas Zoo?
If you are a member, go more often. And take a friend with young kiddos.
Joining was one of the first things [...]
Issues. Major issues.
Don’t know what happened. Thousands of spam comments hit one of my posts, next thing I know, the entire site is defunct.
Not a good start to a holiday weekend in Dallas.
I’ll be replenishing all the content.
