As much as we all love a good challenge, perhaps the thrill of victory we feel when we find a parking space on Knox Street is a tad misplaced. Many patrons could have simply walked or biked from their homes.
Of course, this is assuming sidewalks were clear, bike paths were labeled, and Dallas' weather cooperated. At least two of the three will be in place this weekend, at Knox Strasse.
The event, which includes public art, a biergarten and live music, kicks off at 4 pm Thursday with a Build a Better Block Party.
Knox Dallas has already been designated the first area in the city to have a "complete street"— equally outfitted for walkers, bikers and drivers — so this will be a glimpse of things to come.
Highlights include coffee and crepes on the Katy Trail Saturday and Sunday morning, the LaGrange and Stash Design beirgarten Saturday and Sunday evening, and the Knox Strasse Urban Market Sunday afternoon.
Best part of all? Free admission. Check out the full schedule here.
Dallas' inflation has cooled off after it was last saddled with the highest inflation rate nationally in January 2024.
Inflation has been one of the biggest hot-button issues in the country in 2025, but a new study says inflation not impacting Dallas nearly as much as it is other U.S. cities.
Dallas-Fort Worth-Arlington ranked as the metro with the smallest inflation problem in the U.S. in WalletHub's new report, "Changes in Inflation by City."
The report analyzed the impact of inflation across 23 major metropolitan statistical areas (MSAs) using Consumer Price Index data from the latest month available and compared to data from two months prior. The analysis also factored in inflation data from last year to better track both short- and long-term inflation changes.
Dallas saw only a 0.10 percent increase in its local inflation rate when compared to two months prior, and the rate is only 0.60 percent higher than it was this time last year.
Dallas residents may be feeling the sting a lot less than they did in January 2024, when WalletHub said the city had the No. 1 highest inflation rate in the U.S. In April 2023, Dallas-Fort Worth had the 10th highest inflation rate nationwide.
The study found Boston-Cambridge-Newton, Massachusetts-New Hampshire is the MSA that is currently being rattled by the highest inflation rate in the nation. The northeastern metro saw a 1.10 percent uptick in inflation when compared to two months ago, and it's 3 percent higher than it was a year ago.
Inflation has continued to fluctuate throughout the year in different areas, but WalletHub said the national inflation rate has significantly lowered since it last hit a 40-year high during the COVID-19 pandemic.
"The year-over-year inflation rate sits at 2.4 percent as of May 2025, which is still above the target rate of 2 percent," the report said. "Various factors, such as the war in Ukraine, labor shortages and recent tariffs, drive this higher than average inflation. Despite the country not meeting its target yet, the Federal Reserve will keep interest rates at the level set in December 2024."
Elsewhere in Texas, Houston-The Woodlands-Sugar Land experienced the 13th highest inflation rate in the U.S., the report found. Inflation in the region increased 0.90 percent over the last two months, and it is currently 1.2 percent higher than it was one year ago.
