    Newspaper News

    Dallas Morning News sells off Plano printing plant for pretty penny

    DallasNews Corporation, owner of the Dallas newspaper Dallas Morning News, has closed on the sale of its printing facility in Plano, for the princely sum of $43,500,000.

    According to a release, the property will be occupied by by Denago EV, a company that makes Low Speed Vehicles and cutting-edge golf carts. A release says they're based in Dallas but their Linked-in has them based in St. Petersburg, Florida. Either way, they'll use the Plano facility as their Southern U.S. production and manufacturing base.

    DallasNews Corp. originally sealed the deal on the sale on December 16, 2024, part of its commitment to streamline printing operations into a smaller, leased facility in Carrollton.

    The company plans to use a portion of the proceeds from the sale to fund the company’s pension liabilities – eliminating what they currently view as debt.

    Located at 3900 W. Plano Pkwy., the plant was built in 1984 on a nearly 29-acre property at the southeast corner of Coit Road. The company put it on the market in September 2024, when its value stood at $12.6 million for land and $6.5 million for the building.

    Relocating to a smaller Carrollton facility is expected to save them $5 million a year, while eliminatiing 85 jobs.

    As of the 3rd quarter of 2024, the newspaper had 63,671 print subscribers — down from 69,694 print subscribers in 2023.

    DallasNews Corp. CEO Grant Noise said in a statement that the company was "very pleased with the financial outcome from the sale of our Plano facility," calling it "an important milestone in our Return to Growth Plan and the additional value of voluntarily fully-funding our pension plan brings certainty regarding retirement benefits for more than 1,300 current and former employees.”

    Easter Eggs galore

    The Simpsons to feature couch gag by Meow Wolf artists in special episode

    The famous couch gag on The Simpsons is getting a Meow Wolf makeover in new episode.

    Acclaimed art space Meow Wolf is headed to Springfield. The company has collaborated on a double-episode of The Simpsons to be released this week as part of the famous couch gag that opens each show. Easter eggs from the various locations appear.

    Meow Wolf is the Santa Fe-based, immersive art experience that opened its first Texas location in Grapevine in 2023. A location in Houston followed a year later.

    “Getting the opportunity to be part of the show that has warped our minds since we were kids is a huge honor and an experience we will never forget,” Meow Wolf co-founder Emily Montoya said in a statement. “Working with Matt Selman and his team was fantastic. From the beginning, they supported and encouraged all our crazy ideas and helped us hone the piece into its final form. We’re especially grateful for their help encapsulating Matt King’s rainbow wizard essence into cameo form.”

    The double episode, "Extreme Makeover: Homer Edition," premieres on Wednesday, June 17 on Disney+. In it, Marge dreams how life with her husband, Homer, could have turned out differently, including an homage to Joker: Folie à Deux and a world where Homer is an extreme sports enthusiast. The all new, streaming exclusive episodes following the animated show's record-breaking 37th Season.

    The iconic couch gag has long been a venue for guest artists. Everyone from horror master Guillermo Del Toro to street artist Banksy to indie animation innovator Don Hertzfeldt have collaborated on the pop culture institution, putting Meow Wolf in very good company.

    Even in just the preview, several famous Meow Wolf installations can be briefly seen, like references to Omega Mart in Las Vegas. Houston gets a shout out as Barney shares a drink with Meow Wolf co-founder Matt King in Cowboix Hevvven, the venue's on site bar. As the couch gag goes on, the fourth wall breaks and a team of Meow Wolf artists craft a recycled art installation of the Simpsons in their living room (see picture above).

    Matt Selman, showrunner and executive producer of The Simpsons, is a huge fan of Meow Wolf, and decided to work with the organization after visiting several of their installations.

    “This has been a dream collaboration, in that I had to do almost nothing, other than a few Zoom meetings,” he said. “The brilliant minds at Meow Wolf reimagined the ‘couch gag’ in a way that only they could — delivering the silliness and surreality and homemade outsider sensibility that has blown so many minds. Thank you to all the artists and artisans (not sure of the difference, but maybe there is one) at Meow Wolf for crafting this superbly joyful couch gag!”
