Today the Dallas Observer will be hosting the 4th Annual Wine & Dine. This year’s event is taking place at Fashion Industry Gallery on Ross Avenue.
The event is set to showcase some of the greatest food you can find in the city. You can sample food from over 30 restaurants in Dallas. For $35, this is a great deal!
The best part of Wine & Dine is that all proceeds benefit the North Texas Food Bank. You can sample some of the best food around town and do it all for a great cause? Who wouldn’t want to go!
Everything starts tonight at 7:00. Will you be there? -

Recently a list was compiled of the 21 Top Time-Saving Cities, and Dallas made the cut. The list was compiled based on the following categories:
[caption id=”” align=”aligncenter” width=”270” caption=”Where do you think Dallas should be ranked?”]
[/caption]- Getting around - this includes commuters, airport arrival times, even walking
- Health and Safety - response time of EMS, the number of physicians in the area, and the time it takes to get an appointment with the doctor
- Information and technology - wireless capability, the number of bookstores in the area, etc.
- Green time-savers - The number of farmers’ markets, bike-friendliness, access to recycling centers, and the number of community gardens
- Lifestyle - restaurants that offer takeout, the abundance on personal trainers, and any other relevant time-saving services
Which categories do you think Dallas ranked the highest? According to Real Simple, Dallas comes in at #16, tied with Cleveland and Los Angeles. The city ranks extremely high for health and safety, with fast emergency services. Dallas also did well with the city-wide recycling program and the expanding rapid-transit system.

The weather is just about perfect for getting outside, and there’s no better place to enjoy the outdoors of North Texas than at the Dallas Arboretum and Botanical Garden. This Saturday the Arboretum is opening up for the season, and this year the facility will have a very special activity.
At your next visit you’ll notice the “Summer at the Arboretum: Peter Rabbit’s Flower Village” consisting of four themed flower houses all reminiscent of the illustrations from Beatrix Potter’s works. It’s another great excuse to get outdoors with the family or even just friends.
Enjoy the great weather! -

Could you imagine LeBron James becoming a Dallas Maverick? Now that the Cleveland Cavaliers are no longer in the running for the NBA Championship, LeBron is a free agent and could very well end up in Dallas.
One of the biggest campaigns out there to get “King James” to come to town is the website Bringing LeBron to the Mavs. On the site you will find the 6 reasons James should join the Mavs along with a very clever (and catchy) song called the “BronBronSong” trying to encourage to player to wear number 6 in Dallas. Here are a few lines from the song:“Come on, LeBron,
put your Mavericks jersey on,
then it’s time to get it on
you gotta come to Dallas!”
