American Airlines Says Goodbye To Flying Eagles, Shiny Fuselages, and Helvetica
American Airlines is held in pretty high esteem around here, and rightfully so. They have had their share of bankruptcy (and customer service) issues, but they’re still one of DFW’s undisputed corporate darlings. We even name our stadiums in their honor. So when they killed off a look that had been around for a looonnng time, the headlines practically wrote themselves.
The LBJ Express Is Going To Be Certifiably Insane
…but that’s probably the general consensus by now.

In a few weeks, you’ll be able to drive down the Cedars segment of I-30 and take in a dashing new Dallas landmark: a 10-foot-high, 20-foot-long, two-ton bowler hat. A derby, if you prefer (not a vernacular).
My Best of Dallas 2012
As 2012 nears its end, I thought I’d take some time to reflect upon the things I most appreciate about Dallas — a personal ‘best of’ list if you will. Bear in mind, my world is very small these days with a 2 year old, a wife, and a day job, so my list might seem pretty modest compared to yours.
