Two-Story Holiday Pop-Up Bar Opening In Dallas This November
Dallas is about to get a little more spirited just in time for the holidays. The List: Naughty & Nice, a two-story holiday pop-up bar, is opening Nov. 27 at The Village Dallas, giving guests two very different ways to celebrate Christmas under one roof. Located inside The Village Country Club, the seasonal bar will take over both floors with contrasting holiday themes. Guests can head downstairs for a darker, moodier take on Christmas or make their way upstairs for a winter wonderland filled with frosted decor and festive details. The pop-up is part of A Very Merry Village, a larger holiday celebration taking place throughout The Village Dallas. Naughty Or Nice? The downstairs Naughty bar leans into its name with rich black cherry tones, plush velvet, brass accents and a coal-inspired sculpture. The design gives the space a sultry, polished feel, with a little holiday trouble mixed in. Upstairs, the Nice bar takes a softer approach. Think frosted textures, light colors and elegant holiday decorations, along with playful good-deed moments tucked throughout the space. It's a brighter, whimsical setting for anyone hoping to keep their holiday spirits wholesome. At least for the evening. Holiday Cocktails With A Little Mischief

Two years since DEI removal
In 2023, Governor Greg Abbott signed into law Senate Bill 17 (SB17) or the “DEI ban” bill. This legislation explicitly banned diversity, equity and inclusion policies in Texas public universities. Diversity, equity and inclusion can be loosely defined as the institutional practice of explicitly promoting historically marginalized groups. Effective Sept. 2025, Texas Woman’s University faced the challenge of complying with state law and keeping the tradition of bridging neutrality gaps on campus.

It’s a Texas Thing
Homecoming mums are a popular Texas tradition that allow students to show off their personality, interests and school spirit. From simple designs to elaborate creations, each mum is unique to the person wearing it. For some students, it is their first time experiencing the tradition, while for seniors, it can be a meaningful final homecoming memory. These photos show how students at Wylie East celebrate the tradition in their own way.

The Largest Urban Hardwood Forest in the U.S. is in … Dallas?
A few years ago, I kayaked on the Trinity River into the Great Trinity Forest. Though I could see the downtown Dallas skyline, I was surprised when I pulled my kayak up the muddy bank next to a man fishing. I could see highways but couldn’t hear the constant drone of cars or urban life that’s seemingly inescapable in a city of more than 1.25 million.
