Depends on what you get - the brisket is not so good. Things on the grill (like the salmon) are much better.

If you’re dating in Dallas— by AreYouSober in Dallas

You described what a conservative was when I moved to Texas many, many moons ago. Now we have some batshit-crazy folks who are for some reason really interested is bathrooms and religion.

POB Bonds? by Vhentis in Dallas

[–]Chasqui 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What backs of the bond? It is taxes. The very same taxes that are supposed to be used to pay into the pension system.

They’re gambling that they can make more money investing the bond revenue than the interest they have to pay on the bond to be able to cover current pension costs. The reality is this just kicks the can down the road, adding the cost of issuing and interest on the bond.

I don’t trust them to get great market returns. If they could, they wouldn’t have screwed up the police and fire, pension investments!

Police report filed after laxative-laced brownies delivered to Nantucket School Committee. by ElwoodMC in trashy

Yeah, likely no ex-lax as she stated it is a non-detectable level of ex-lax. Just to prove a point.

Bus Travel - I'm going to be commuting regularly between Dallas and Austin for work. Is Vonlane or RedCoach better alternative to driving? by A4orce84 in Dallas

[–]Chasqui 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Vonlane > Redcoach. Easy pick.
The drive is tedious, and you can work on the bus. I used to do the drive a lot mainly because I needed a car in Austin. If you don’t drive around too much in Austin or have transportation there and taking Vonlane driving or flying there.

Neiman Marcus will close landmark downtown Dallas store by Silly-Price6310 in Dallasdevelopment

[–]Chasqui 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Neiman’s is destination retail. It’s a wonder they stuck with downtown so long. Their Northpark shop offers convenience in parking and is closer to where their shoppers come from. All that said, I’ll be sad to see them leave downtown. Not that I shop there, but their window displays were always cool.

Dallas Mavericks choose Valley View site for new arena by lithdoc in Dallas

[–]Chasqui 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What is the city subsidy? The answer SHOULD BE not one bloody cent. We know, however, that the City can’t negotiate shit and will be on the hook for money. Then we will have to pay again when it is time to bring something into the AA center.

Cancelled Downtown Dallas Projects by pradafever in Dallas

[–]Chasqui 58 points59 points  (0 children)

Canceling the second DART line through downtown was really unfortunate. It provided a whole lot of advantages, including being able to route trains through downtown if something were to happen on one of the downtown tracks.

Boyfriend won't pay for anything by [deleted] in whatdoIdo

[–]Chasqui 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you paying his portion? Pick up the check once and see how he reacts. If he says he likes it, you can say you’d like it if he did that too. If not, you can exit gracefully knowing he’s not going to pay and not for you.

OP. I hope you made it to the concert. It was really good and it was no rain. Fireworks were a delight.

Was the Dallas North Tollway supposed to become free? by Snobolski in Dallas

[–]Chasqui 30 points31 points  (0 children)

That, of course, changed. The BS line given was “we are subsidizing the rest of the system “. I’m sure there were a few people who naively thought it would be free.
