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. Dallas guitarist Mike Scaccia, of Ministry and Rigor Mortis fame, died December 23 at Fort Worth club. Scaccia, 47, achieved national acclaim as guitarist for metal-rock bands such as Ministry, the Skatenigs and Rigor Mortis. He died during a performance at the Rail Club in Fort Worth.

2. A Christmas miracle: 300 North Texas horses find a new home. The Olympian Ranch in North Texas has sold to a new owner — which wouldn’t be uncommon or news at all, except for one fact: The property has been home to 300 heritage horses, which have been living on the land for 10 years.

3. CulturePoll: What was the top shop to hit the Dallas fashion scene in fall 2012? Fall 2012 brought with it many fashionable openings, including a new Highland Park Village boutique from Brian Bolke and first shops for designers Angela Scott and Nicole Kwon. Men hit the jackpot too, with two service-driven spots in West Village: WAREhaus and Rye 51. You can still vote daily for your favorite new store through December 30.

4. Olympian who moonlighted as a $600-per-hour, high-end hooker made a Dallas stop. Suzy Favor Hamilton calls her time as an escort a "huge mistake" and made a public apology on Twitter.

5. Manly hangout H&G Supply Co. to bring Paleo diet menu to Greenville Avenue. Dallas has Tex-Mex, taquerias, burger joints and even vegetarian restaurants. But like many cities, it lacks a restaurant devoted specifically to the Paleolithic diet. But that's about to change.

Nelly will perform at Dos Equis Pavilion on September 5, 2025 as part of the Where The Party At Tour.

Rapper Nelly will celebrate a big anniversary with the massive Where The Party At Tour in 2025, which will include a stop at Dos Equis Pavilion in Dallas on Friday, September 5.

In addition to Dallas, the tour will also go to The Woodlands outside of Houston on September 4.

Country Grammar started Nelly's career in a big way, going to No. 1. He followed that up four more top 3 albums thanks to hits like "Hot in Herre," "Dilemma," and "Ride wit Me."

The tour will take fans on a journey through Nelly’s career, including those chart-topping hits and more.

Tickets will be available starting with various presales beginning on Tuesday, December 10 starting at 10 AM, including the Citi Entertainment Program.
