THE COG! It Has a New Idea for the Trinity Toll Road. Be Very Very Afraid!
The weird shadow government nobody knows about but that runs everything, called "THE COG!," headquartered near Six Flags amusement park in Arlington, is cooking up a plan to ram a new highway down the city's throat even if the city votes against it.

Dallas Councilwoman Vonciel Hill: I-345 Tear-down Would Be a Disaster
The Dallas Morning News' Brandon Formby spent days, maybe weeks, trying to chase down Councilwoman Vonciel Jones Hill to get her views on tearing down I-345, the short nub of freeway dividing Deep Ellum from downtown.

LBJ Has Been Taken By the Trafficpocalypse
It's a shame, really, that Dallas never got to know what 635 is like without massive amounts of construction and with those groundbreaking TEXpress lanes fully operational. Alas, the freeway has fallen, overtaken by a traffic phenomenon completely unknown to science. NBC 5 producer Ashley Lowell Do ... More >>

Reactions to Horrors Involving Coppell Mayor, Dallas Chief Tell a Tale of Two Tragedies
Jayne PetersThat's it. I have waited three days. Time to speak up. Where are all of the outrage junkies who couldn't wait to pour salt in the wounds of bereaved Dallas Police Chief David Brown over the death of his cop-killer son?
