      MillerCoors Taps Chicago for New Headquarters

      Chicago will be home to the new corporate headquarters of beer conglomerate MillerCoors, the Tribune reports. The Windy City edged out Dallas to serve as a neutral location for the nerve center of Denver-based Molson Coors and Milwaukee-based Miller. Chicago attracted MillerCoors because it has "access to an attractive base of talent, transportation and business resources," company president Tom Long said. More »

      Shining Sun Belt Beckons to Rust Belt's Weary

      Americans are continuing to flock to the Sun Belt, reports the AP. Almost all of the 50 fastest-growing metro areas in 2006 and 2007 were in the South and West, and four of the top 10 were in Texas. None were in the Northeast. Experts say the Sun Belt's strong economies and low house prices are drawing in people, especially from the Rust Belt. More »

      No Lie: Polygraphs On the Rise

      Despite lingering reservations about its effectiveness, the polygraph is gaining traction with law enforcement. The lie-detection program has spiked 53% in the last decade, and truth be told, just the threat of a test keeps convicts honest, drug addicts and sex offenders told the Wall Street Journal. “Don’t believe anyone who tells you polygraph doesn’t work,” one Oregon pedophile said.

      Boys Survive Being Hurled From Overpass

      Police don't know why a young mother threw her young sons from a Dallas highway overpass into rush-hour traffic yesterday before leaping off herself—but they're completely stunned that all three survived, AP reports. "It was really miraculous that we didn't have some fatalities," said the local police chief. The mom and her 8-year-old son were struck by cars; her 6-year-old boy was not. More »

      Innocent Con Freed After 27 Years

      A man who spent 27 years in prison for a rape he didn't commit was released yesterday after DNA evidence proved he hadn't assaulted his accuser. Charles Chatman, now 47, had maintained his innocence throughout his time in jail, refusing to give an account of the crime to the parole board on three separate occasions. More »

      Dallas Dilemma: Where to Reshoot JR

      Dallas has tried for years to disassociate itself from 'Dallas,' the cheesy '80s soap opera that's so iconic that the fictional scheming oil baron JR Ewing is still the city's biggest celebrity—16 years after the show was canceled. So it's with considerable cringing that officials find themselves wooing the producers of the upcoming movie version to film in their city, instead of competitors Florida, Louisiana, and Saudi Arabia.

      Texas Couple Fights to Save Their Orgies

      Swingers Jim Trulock and Julie Norris think they should be allowed to have sex in the privacy of their own home—with 100 of their closest friends. Unfortunately, the Dallas suburb they live in disagrees, Newsweek reports. Trulock and Norris have twice been charged with running a sex club after holding wild, sex-drenched parties. “It's none of the government's business!” their lawyer insists. More »

      Real Estate Is What Divides America Into Red and Blue

      Real estate—as much as religion or politics—is what really divides America into red and blue regions, argues Atlantic Monthly ’s Virginia Postrel. Comparing the housing markets in Dallas and Los Angeles, she notes that it's no coincidence that there's cheap, plentiful housing in the former, and expensive, scarce housing in the latter. It's the result of land-use policies that either encourage growth (Dallas) or discourage it (LA). More »

      Gigantic Dallas Stadium Will Host Super Bowl

      Dallas beat out Indianapolis and Arizona to secure the coveted hosting rights to the 2011 Super Bowl, largely due to the colossal capacity of the Cowboys' future stadium. The putative 120,000 seater could generate $27.6 million more in ticket sales than Indy's puny 73,000-seat venue. More »
