MOBILE MUNCHIES: One of the big complaints about the Arts District – it’s hard to get something to eat down there – might be about to change.

If the change goes through, we could see the trucks in the district as early as May.

THE ENVELOPE, PLEASE: Congratulations to Birdville High School and Haltom High School, whose musicals were nominated in the top three categories for this year’s Betty Buckley Awards.
