Getting a little stir-crazy with the kids at home this summer? Are you tired of hearing them whine, “I’m boooored?” You could cure their ennui by putting them to work in the yard, but if you’re feeling merciful, haul them out to Fort Worth for The Modern Kids movie series. Beatless Nick sounds utterly delightful.
Moving on. You wouldn’t know it to listen to local sports radio, but the Cowboys are not the only major franchise in town. We also happen to have a baseball team. And that baseball team is doing us proud this year. Head out to Arlington to see the Rangers play the Yankees. I know it’s hot, and I know the traffic might provoke you to gouge out your eyes with a dull implement, but it will be worth it–particularly if the Rangers win. If you’ve ever seen a Yankees fan in the agony of defeat, you know what I mean.
Obviously you’ll eat half your weight in hotdogs and nachos at the game, but you might also want some real food. If you’re rooting for the home team, eat something you can’t readily find in New York: great tacos (I can personally attest to this). Try Fuzzy’s Taco Shop on Abram Street in Arlington. If you’re in the other camp (heretic), then clearly you’ll have to eat pizza. I suggest you check out Nizza Pizza, just south of the university on Cooper Street. The calzones are as big as your head, the prices are reasonable, and as an added bonus, the food is delicious.
