Hot Week Ahead. I’m not really sure what 110 degrees feels like. But I do know I’m not going to enjoy it. And I’ll be complaining. But we all need to be smart about this heat wave. Drink water. Don’t take your dog for a long walk on the hot concrete. And, please, do not leave your kids in the car.
A Push To Get Certain Drinks Out of Downtown Stores. After the whole Angela Hunt/bum situation, a petition circulated multiple apartment complexes downtown. The petition was for getting downtown convenience stores to stop selling high-alcohol content beverages (which just so happen to be rather cheap). Downtown Dallas Inc. is behind the push saying that when stores have agreed to stop selling the beverages, there has been a drop in crime.
Fort Worth Boy Talks About Shark Attack. Twelve-year-old Nicholas Vossler was attacked by a bull shark earlier this summer. He escaped, but not without injury. He spent about three weeks in the hospital, and he’s had at least a half dozen surgeries on his leg. He’ll have more. But his family is thankful he came out of the ordeal so well. Think about that while you’re watching Shark Week.

Are we a World Class City yet?
Seattle passed a similar measure around 10-ish years ago — in the Pioneer Square district, alcohol retailers were not allowed to sell single beers of more than x number of ounces. (Probably 12; this was before the proliferation of the 22-oz. microbrew “bombers” that hipsters do so cherish.)
An enterprising phone jocke — er, “reporter” — could easily find out how that little experiment went and then give us the low-down. I demand labor-intensive content for free.
