By Chic DiCiccio There are slow burns and then there is HBO’s “The Outsider,” a 10-part miniseries that manages to be simultaneously compelling and frustrating. The first three one-hour long episodes have all aired and we are nowhere near learning who viciously murdered a young boy named Frank Peterson. This murder mystery piles on elements […]
By R. H. Lannen A local chain, Biscuit Bar, has finally brought their version of fast-casual dining closer to the Eastside. As with many new restaurants in this style, they offer fast-food style food service and preparation with the bonus of alcohol. The Biscuit Bar is giving it their all to garner the attention of […]
By Dr. Beth Leermakers What vaccinations does your cat need? The answer isn’t as straightforward for cats as it is for dogs (covered in my last column; Vol. 11, No. 30).

By Chic DiCiccio “Bad Boys for Life” may be the first movie ever made that makes viewers miss Michael Bay. If there is one area where Bay excels, it’s turning brain-dead scripts into entertaining (yet still brain-dead) movies. This is a guy that directed the hell out of the first two silly “Bad Boys” scripts […]
By David Mullen Dallas Cowboys’ new head coach Mike McCarthy got more laughs during his introductory press conference than former head coach Jason Garrett got in nine and one-half years behind the podium.
