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

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.

Alberto Morales, 42, was shot and killed after four days on the lam from authorities.

Lil Wayne will perform at Dos Equis Pavilion on September 17.

Lil Wayne is returning to his favorite title with both a new album and extensive 2025 tour, which will include a stop at Dos Equis Pavilion in Dallas on Wednesday, September 17.

Both the tour and album are named Tha Carter VI, the sixth in a series that nods to Lil Wayne's birth name, Dwayne Carter Jr.

The rapper will play a special album release show in New York on June 6, with the main tour starting on July 30 in Bristow, Virginia.

The tour is scheduled to run for just over two months, with additional Texas stops in Austin on September 16 and The Woodlands on September 18.

With the tour, Lil Wayne is not only celebrating the release of his new album, but also paying tribute to the long series, which started in 2004 with the original Tha Carter.

The tour will feature special guests Tyga and Belly Gang Kushington across all dates. NoCap will also be on hand for a variety of shows, including The Woodlands.

For 26 years, Lil Wayne has remained one of the most popular artists in his genre. Each of his albums that was widely released has come in at either No. 1 or No. 2 on Billboard's R&B/Hip Hop chart, and all but one of them made the top 10 on the overall Billboard 200.

Tickets for the tour will be available starting with artist presale beginning on Wednesday, June 4. Additional presales will run throughout the week ahead of the general on-sale beginning on Friday, June 6 at 10 am at LiveNation.com.
