In news you may have heard, the Texas Rangers defeated the Arizona Diamondbacks in five games, winning the first World Series Championship in franchise history.

Now it's time to celebrate: Bring on the merchandise, bring on the parade.

According to a release, the Rangers team and staff will return to Texas on Thursday, November 2, in the late afternoon. Due to space and security issues, there will be no public celebration planned on Thursday upon the team’s return.

On Friday November 3, the City of Arlington will honor the Texas Rangers first World Series Championship with a parade and ceremony.

The parade will take place in the Arlington Entertainment District and will be open free of charge to all fans. The parade is expected to begin at 12:15 pm with the entire team expected to participate.

Following the parade, there will be a public ceremony in the North Plaza outside Globe Life Field adjacent to Texas Live!. The ceremony will include remarks by Rangers’ executives, manager Bruce Bochy, and Rangers’ players. Bally Sports Southwest will provide complete broadcast coverage of the parade and ceremony.

A map of the parade route on the MLB website shows the parade will do a big loop around Globe Life Field, Loews Arlington Hotel, and Choctaw stadium.

It starts at Parking Lot A, then

heads north on AT&T Way
east on Nolan Ryan Expressway/Road to Six Flags
south on Ballpark Way/Stadium Drive
then west on Cowboy Way, returning to Lot A

There's a parade viewing area on the Globe Life Field campus, with video screens, across the street from Lot C.

Parking lots are open but the entire parade route will be closed to through traffic.

The Grand Slam Team Store at Globe Life Field stayed open until 3 am on November 2 so that fans could start buying up Rangers World Series Championship merchandise. The store will be open all day Thursday from 9 am-10 pm.

The Rangers beat the Arizona Diamondbacks four games to one in the World Series, winning game 5 5-0. Shortstop Corey Seager was named World Series MVP after hitting three separate two-run homers in the series, and scoring the winning run in the final game.

On Premise

Editor's note: Two big closures rocked the Dallas restaurant and bar scene this week. There was also an intriguing home for sale on Dallas' ritziest road, a new barbecue joint with an unusual focus, and more. Here's a look back at the top stories of the week. Looking for the best things to do this weekend? Those are here.

1. Dallas bar closes after surviving a decade in Deep Ellum. A Dallas bar that opened 10 years ago in Deep Ellum has closed its doors: On Premise, which rode a decade-long wave in the often-turbulent neighborhood, closed on October 31.

2. Authentic upscale Mexican restaurant at Turtle Creek Dallas closes. In major bummer Dallas restaurant news, authentic Mexican restaurant Jalisco Norte has closed: The upscale restaurant and bar at Turtle Creek Village clocked out after seven years.

3. Dallas and Austin are facing the same kind of housing issues. The state’s housing crisis is effectively a new problem for state and local leaders — mainly because, for the longest time, Texas used to be cheap. "YIMBY" activists in Dallas have pushed local leaders, with mixed results, to embrace the idea that the country’s ninth-largest city should make it easier to build homes besides standalone single-family homes on large lots and big apartment buildings.

4. 50s Dallas home for sale on swanky Strait Lane still has pink bathroom. A house on Dallas' Strait Lane that is possibly home to the last '50s-era pink bathroom on the tony thoroughfare is up for sale. The bathroom's days are probably numbered — but maybe in this one case, it's not a bad thing.

5. Barbecue spot Kafi BBQ coming to Irving will be smoking halal Wagyu. A barbecue restaurant with an unusual focus is coming to Irving: Kafi BBQ, which specializes in halal Wagyu beef, will open at 8140 N. MacArthur Blvd. #100, Valley Ranch, in the former Rafikiz Bar and Grill.
