After the Round – Victory Tap Sports Lounge
In recent weeks, the Willow Bend area of Plano has been a major topic of conversation among Dallas sports fans. The reason for this is the recent announcement the Dallas Stars will be constructing a new $1 billion arena and $3 billion entertainment district right off the Dallas North Tollway. Although the move won’t happen […]
Drive Time – 2026 Volvo XC60
For years, Volvo’s much-deserved claim to fame was their peerless safety features rather than sexy lines as the boxy rides resembled rolling security-laden refrigerators. Not the most alluring silhouettes, but at least you had a great chance of arriving in one piece. Thankfully, Volvo designers have heard the shouts of customers demanding their safety in […]
After the Round – Resident Taqueria
I’ve been eating at Resident Taqueria for years and for good reason. Tucked into a strip on Audelia Road in Lake Highlands — not the flashiest address in Dallas or the most trafficked corner. In a city full of taquerias, this isn’t an apples-to-apples comparison. Chef Andrew Savoie is classically trained, creating tacos you’d expect […]
Drive Time – 2026 Acura ADX AWD A-Spec Advance
When writing these auto features, I’ve learned to put my personal tastes aside and concentrate on the target demographic. Do these buyers prefer comfort, good gas mileage, high tech, safety features and cost? Or maybe, hot looking rides, scintillating thrust, a delicious exhaust rumble and superb handling? Thus, I ask friends and family in a […]
After the Round – Il Bracco
There’s a reason you keep hearing about Il Bracco. There are restaurants you visit once and forget. Then there are restaurants that quietly become part of your rotation – places you find yourself recommending before anyone even finishes asking for a suggestion. Il Bracco, tucked into The Plaza at Preston Center in Dallas’s Park Cities […]
Drive Time – 2026 Lexus IS 350 F Sport
By Rick Arnett I, along with other sport sedan aficionados, are concerned about the increasing concentration of SUVs at the expense of quick, athletic four-door options. Yes, I get that SUVs are easier to enter and exit, but c’mon, give us sport sedan fans something to choose from. Lexus is primarily known for premium, luxurious, […]
After the Round – Four Sisters Vietnamese
By Sean Welch There’s a certain expectation when you walk into a Vietnamese restaurant. You think you know what you’re getting — pho, vermicelli, maybe a banh mi. Something focused on tradition, executed well, and comfortably familiar. Four Sisters leans into those traditions while showcasing a playful creativity that highlights Vietnamese flavors. What chef-owner Tuan […]
After the Round – Avra Dallas
It can be tough to find great seafood in Dallas. The places that do it well often fly their catch in daily. Avra Dallas is one of those spots. Located near the Crescent Hotel at Crescent Court in uptown, you simply won’t find a more unique meal anywhere in the city. Other places do seafood […]
Drive Time – 2026 Mercedes-Maybach S 580 4MATIC
During the iconic James Bond movie Thunderball, our hero became visibly tense while an adversary drove him manically on winding roads. Noticing his discomfort, the driver said, “Some men just don’t like being driven.” Bond replied, “No, some men don’t like being taken for a ride.” Well, that exchange won’t be uttered when chilling in […]
Drive Time – 2026 Cadillac CT5-V
Some auto manufacturers are streamlining their product lines — mainly sedans. Sure, SUVs and Crossovers are still in high demand, but sexy, sporty sedans continue to turn heads. The demand for those sleek rides is significant enough for companies to find ways to aptly fill their product lines. Cadillac is a good case study. Their […]
