The Randomness-Having Fun in Urban Dallas

We decided to hang out a little yesterday.

It started off by looking at a couple of houses and then attempting to go to my favorite chicken place, Brothers on Gaston Ave. We were kindly informed that they were out of mostly everything due to the glowing review that was in the Dallas Morning News last week. They had nothing but wings and peppers, and were out of my beloved fries as well. The cherry limeade did soften the blow, however. So I got my wife some wings and then headed to Chip's on Cole for more food. We then hit up Cole Park for our mini-picnic. That was just the beginning.

We then rode through Victory Park, circled back to the Angelika and came up on some free tickets to AFI Dallas. We went to a few late-night screenings. I love indie films, and the ones we saw were definitely interesting. We got home way late for a Sunday, but we had a ball.

Life is fun in Big D. Sometimes a whole lot of little unplanned things can add up to a cool date night.

We sure did - Dallas is becoming more of a cool, urban city. Plus the weather right now is super!

Sunday after church we hit Hattie's buffet. It was a winner! It is a LOT to do if people would just venture out. Downtown/Victory/Cedars (even Uptown) are cool places man. Good lookin' out Mike D.

hmmm... 'Brothers', I'll have to try it on my next food tour through Dallas. My most recent tour had me at Donald Brown's near Southwest Center Mall, good and greasy chicken. LOL My favorite Dallas spot is still and shall remain Twisted Root on Commerce. I love the burgers and the owner may have saved my life...literally. LOL
