    This Week's Hot Headlines

    Restaurant closures and mysterious deaths lead 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. Sudden restaurant closures give Dallas diners the summer blues. There's a whoosh in the Dallas dining scene as two local restaurants face sudden shutters. Good Eats closes on July 17, after 22 years at Turtle Creek Village. Meanwhile, Becks Prime, the Houston-based burger chain, is closing its Greenville Avenue location on June 30.

    2. Investigation into mysterious death of Dammion Heard takes dramatic turn. The family of Dammion Heard is clinging to new hope in the ongoing investigation surrounding the mysterious death of their 20-year-old son. A former Texas State Champion Wrestler at Fossil Ridge High School in Keller, Heard was found dead on April 2 near Gunnison, Colorado, where he was attending college.

    3. The official guide to the biggest and brightest 4th of July events in Dallas-Fort Worth. Though there were plenty of options for viewing colorful explosions on Independence Day, our list only included the biggest and brightest. Most of the events were free, some cost a nominal amount, but all of them guaranteed grand entertainment, both in the sky and on the ground.

    4. Pair of Dallas restaurants recognized as top neighborhood spots in U.S. According to OpenTable, Dallas is home to two of the nation's neighborhood gems, restaurants favored by their communities for making diners feel special time and time again.

    5. Where to eat in Dallas right now: 10 best restaurants for hot potatoes. Every restaurant should make potatoes the center of its world. And Dallas restaurants have been squarely behind that idea, be it Snuffer's cheese fries or Tillman's Roadhouse signature trio of fries. For our July chapter of where to eat, we single out some of the best state-of-the-art potato dishes in Dallas.

    Editor's note: The top Dallas news of the week begins with a big accolade for an area city. Plus, a massive mixed-use development is on its way to McKinney, and we introduce you to the Tastemaker Awards nominees for Dallas Bar of the Year. Get the details on our most popular stories below, then visit our event planner for weekend fun.

    1. Dallas-Fort Worth suburb blooms as No. 1 best place to live in U.S. One Dallas-area city took the top slot on a new list of "the 100 Best Places to Live in 2025." The list — from relocation marketing platform Livability.com — put Flower Mound at No. 1 for its appealing size and affordability.

    2. Massive mixed-use development coming to key intersection in McKinney. McKinney is getting a new $1.3 billion mixed-use development. Called Long Branch, it will be a 155-acre project at the northwest corner of US-75 and the future 380 bypass, consisting of housing, retail, office, grocery, and hospitality.

    3. 10 best bars in Dallas for 2025 craft cocktails and community. It's time to toast the 2025 Bar of the Year nominees in our annual Tastemaker Awards. The list includes new and not-so-new bars, ranging from a subterranean lounge to a bar perched high in a downtown hotel.

    4. 6 Dallas bars unveil new on-trend cocktail menus for spring 2025. Dallas restaurants regularly roll out menus these days that follow the season, keeping things fresh by taking advantage of whatever's being harvested. But bars are getting in on the action, too, unfurling creative drink menus that make the most of seasonal ingredients and flavor trends.

    5. Wildlife authorities now find avian flu in mammals in Texas Panhandle. The avian flu creeps closer and closer: According to the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department (TPWD), recent testing has detected Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza (HPAI) in mammal species in Texas including foxes, raccoons, striped skunks, and domestic cats located in the Texas panhandle.
