Continental Avenue bridge might be renamed. Soon, the pedestrian bridge might be called the Ronald Kirk Pedestrian Bridge, after the former Dallas mayor. The name change will be voted on next month. Dallas not doing well in water conservation contest. Two years ago, the city won a national water conservation contest. Now, we're ranked 12 out of 26. It's true that water was more scarce then than it is now, but still. Judge will rule on Exxxotica case. Was the City Council within its rights to ban the sex expo from the convention center? U.S. District Judge Sidney Fitzwater will decide. If Fitzwater rules in Exxxotica's favor before the end of the week, the expo could still happen. If not, it would be too late this time. We'll have to wait and see. How 'bout them mavs? Their 85-84 victory over the Thunder in Game 2 yesterday was pretty crazy after the previous game's intense humiliation. The rookies had a big night, and defense was strong. It'll be tough to keep this going in the next game, but, hey, the Mavs have surprised us before.
