Volunteers in the Sunset Hill neighborhood planted 30 trees last weekend.

The Dallas Observer’s food critic gives a thumbs up to the Spam sliders at Local Oak.

This might seem like a strange question, but are some of y’all buying weed from the carnita man? Yeah, us neither. Just checking.

And now for some bad news. Here’s a story about a 20-year-old who, with her 8-month-old baby in tow, mugged a teenager of $480, on Zang near Jefferson.

This story is even worse: An 18-year-old raped a woman that he kidnapped, along with her friend, from Kiest Park.

This will cheer us up: a 13th Floor Elevators live broadcast from 1966 recently was released on youtube.
