1. East Dallas' favorite gourmet taqueria bids hasta luego. East Dallas' Good 2 Go Taco, who pioneered the gourmet taqueria concept in Dallas, closed this week.

2. This East Dallas midcentury is a rare find at under $400,000. Midcentury aficionados on a budget need look no further than 10509 Evangeline Way. Located in East Dallas' up-and-coming Lochwood neighborhood, this three-bedroom, two-bath, 1,740-square-foot home looks as though it’s fresh out of a time capsule.
