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. Top 100: The very best restaurants in Dallas. There are lists, and then there is the list to top them all: The Top 100, in which we rank the very best restaurants in Dallas.

(And you should vote again, this time to determine the readers’ choice winner.) We interviewed all six during a photo shoot at Weld.
3. Cool then-and-now photos of downtown Dallas take us way back in time. What a difference 100 years makes — especially when it comes to views of downtown Dallas. If you don’t believe us, then just take a look through these then-and-now images that offer a rich glimpse into the city’s past.
