    Restaurant buzz, escaped convicts and mysterious Mike Tyson: The 5 most popular stories this week

    Claire St. Amant
    Feb 22, 2013 | 5:30 pm

    Editor's note: Another week has come and gone, and there's a lot we all probably missed. But we're looking out for you, kid. Here are the most popular stories from this past week:

    1. Goodfriend owners plan to open meaty sibling on Lower Greenville called Blind Butcher. Senior editor Teresa Gubbins interviewed Matt Tobin, co-owner of Goodfriend Beer Garden & Burger House, about the soon-to-open, meat-centric restaurant on Lower Greenville called the Blind Butcher. It will go into the old Service Bar space. On the menu: sausage, pastrami and corned beef made by chef Oliver Sitrin, plus lots o' craft beer.

    2. Escaped convict shot dead near Grapevine Lake, ending manhunt. Just after midnight on February 16, escaped convict Alberto Morales was shot and killed by authorities in a wooded area near Grapevine Lake. Morales, 42, had been on the lam for four days after a daring escape from police custody outside of a Wal-Mart.

    3. Harlem Shake takes over Klyde Warren Park in Dallas. Although there have undoubtedly been a host of unofficial Harlem Shake videos shot in our fair city, the Official Harlem Shake Dallas Edition went down at 11 am, February 16, at Klyde Warren Park. Revelers dressed in a host of wild costumes packed the park for the event organized by Brian Braun, Lights All Night, 106.1 Kiss FM and Electro Innovators.

    4. Twin Peaks brings boobs and more beer to Mockingbird Station. Well, there goes the neighborhood. Mockingbird Station takes a not-so-small step away from indie-theater coolness with the announcement of its latest new tenant: Twin Peaks will open this summer in the space next-door to the Angelika Theater.

    5. Scheduling conflict shuts down Mike Tyson's Undisputed Truth national tour. Just five days into Tyson's tour, the former boxer-turned-entertainer threw in the towel. Or so his publicist said on February 18, a day before Tyson was supposed to perform at Verizon Theatre at Grand Prairie. But fast forward 48 hours, and the tour's back on.

    This week, Mike Tyson launched, canceled and relaunched his national tour dubbed "Undisputed Truth."

    Immersive show starring blue Smurfs makes U.S. debut in Arlington

    Beloved blue characters The Smurfs are making their way to Arlington with an immersive experience for families: The Smurf Experience, located at Esports Stadium at 1200 Ballpark Way, opens May 7.

    Get ready to shrink down, turn blue, and journey into the land of the Smurfs to help save the world from the evil wizard, Gargamel in a show that started out in Europe and now makes its U.S. debut in DFW for a limited time.

    “The Smurfs may be small, but their journey has been anything but," says SBX Group’s CEO, Danny Fritz in a release. "From their origins in Europe in the 1950’s to their increasing global popularity, we are excited to bring the world of the Smurfs to life for families in DFW! Based on the success of the attraction in Europe, we believe US audiences will thoroughly enjoy the launch of The Smurf Experience."

    This 13,000-square-foot, fully immersive attraction will transport families into the heart of Smurf Village. The 75-minute experience will feature nine mission-based zones filled with interactive scavenger hunts, obstacle courses, virtual reality adventures, meet-and-greets with beloved Smurf characters and more. It’s hands-on, high-energy and full of Smurftastic fun for kids and parents alike.

    The Smurf Experience is not to be missed and is only in Texas until the end of summer.

    Tickets are now available at $30 for regular admission and $40 for VIP, as well as group and birthday packages.

    “When my father first drew these little blue characters decades ago, I don’t think he ever imagined that they’d one day jump off the pages and be able to physically interact with families around the world," says Véronique Culliford, Founder & President of Peyo Company and daughter of Peyo, in a release. "It is wonderful to see The Smurf Experience bring the Smurfs, their story and their values to life in such a meaningful way."

    Timed with the release of Paramount Pictures’ new Smurfs movie, hitting theaters July 2025, this summer-long adventure builds on the excitement of the big screen.

    The film stars Rihanna as both a producer and the voice of Smurfette. She’s also behind the soundtrack’s musical hits. The Smurf Experience lets fans step into the world of the Smurfs ahead of the film’s release—creating unforgettable moments for families to share together.

    The Smurf Experience was designed by Belgium-based agency Cecoforma in collaboration with Smurf parent entity Peyo Company. SBX Group, a leader in entertainment attractions, is working with Cecoforma and Peyo Company to adapt the experience for North American audiences.
