Dallas County Heritage Society Defends Sale of Old City Park Items. Before the society hands off control of the city’s oldest park to the Parks and Recreation Department, it is selling off over 22,000 items that reside inside the homes, other buildings, and a warehouse.

A man was doing yard work in his backyard in the 1300 block of Circle Drive when he found a “missile-shaped object” and called the police.

For some reason.

Chiefs WR Rashee Rice Surrenders in Glenn Heights.

He bonded out shortly after turning himself in. SMU suspended sophomore cornerback Theodore “Teddy” Knox after learning that he was charged, too.
