1. Dallas' legendary Mike's Chicken expands from original laundromat location. A family run fried-chicken restaurant in Dallas that has earned national acclaim is expanding: Mike's Chicken, which has been serving great fried chicken made to order at 4234 Maple Ave. for more than six years, will open a second location at 7752 Forest Ln., in the little strip center at US-75, across from Medical City, in the former Taco Y Mas space.

2. Houston's most famous po'boy sandwiches get exported to Dallas. A sandwich maker beloved to Houston is coming to Dallas-Fort Worth: Antone's Famous Po' Boys, known for its cold, grab-and-go sandwiches wrapped in trademark white paper, has expanded its footprint to more than 100 supermarkets, including select Kroger, Tom Thumb, Albertsons, and Market Street stores in DFW.

3. Dallas real estate mogul lists his Beverly Drive home with big extra perk for $16 million. Dallas residential real estate honcho Rogers Healy has vast experience buying and selling homes. Now, he’s put his own Highland Park home, at 3815 Beverly Dr., on the market for $8 million — with an intriguing twist that doubles the asking price.

4. One Texas airport lands first coveted 5-star rating in North America. If you have to pick a layover city for your next cross-country flight, there's new reason to choose Houston. William P. Hobby Airport has just scored a prestigious 5-Star Airport status in the Skytrax World Airport Star Rating for 2022.

5. Downtown Dallas loses fancy tarts with closure of bakery from France. The tarts have left town: World-famous French bakery café La Tarte Tropézienne, known for its unusual cream-filled tarts, has closed its location in downtown Dallas.

Following a sold-out global tour in 2025 and a momentous performance at Coachella, Grammy-nominated band Foster the People is going back on the road for a new North American tour that will stop at The Pavilion at Toyota Music Factory in Irving on October 18.

The Good Mourning Sunshine tour will kick off in Canada with a first stop in Calgary, Alberta, on July 9, and visit 30 cities over four months with a final show on October 23 in Los Angeles, California.

On their Texas leg, Foster the People will first visit Ausin on October 16, then they'll go to Houston on October 17 and continue to Irving on October 18.

Foster the People's first album, Torches, was a genre-defying debut. Their debut single "Pumped Up Kicks" propelled the band to stardom in 2011. The group's second and third albums — Supermodel and Sacred Hearts Club — followed in 2014 and 2017, earning critical acclaim from numerous outlets before the group went on an extended hiatus.

In 2024, Foster the People released its fourth studio album, Paradise State of Mind, which garnered the band's third Top 10 on Billboard’s Album Sales chart. The record takes inspiration from late-70's and early 80's funk, disco, R&B, and gospel while weaving in themes of hope through the lyrics and a psychedelic feel.

Tickets for the tour, promoted by Live Nation, will be available starting on Tuesday, May 5 through various presales. The general onsale will begin Friday, May 8, at 10 am at FosterThePeople.com.
