Bad Mountain. I can’t get my fill.

Bad Mountain - I can't get my fill.

This is the first time I’ve written a blog post only to showcase a musical pairing—Union Hill by Bad Mountain. I believe music has a way of tapping into buried emotion, a way of carrying us back to our roots or uncovering long forgotten memories. That’s why I always include a musical pairing with each blog post. Believe it or not, sometimes I spend more time selecting the music to accompany my posts than I do writing or preparing the photos. And who knows if anyone listens.

But I hope you’ll listen to this.Continue Reading

Deep Ellum Bark Park with Art

June 7, 2014 By Talya Tate Boerner 4 Comments

Deep Ellum Bark Park -Six blocks from my house

East Dallas has several dog parks and many outdoor patios that cater to furry friends, but Deep Ellum Bark Park, with a view of downtown, is a unique urban park. Not only is it a great use of space beneath Good Latimer Expressway (between Canton Street and Commerce Street) it’s a dog art gallery. Twenty-five Dallas mural artists provided eleven foot high paintings on each of the TXDOT pillars beneath the freeway. All dog related of course.

The Bark Park is clean, bags are plentiful for poop scooping, and there is wide open space for dogs to romp and run.

The drawbacks: parking is metered (bring change) and there is no separate space for small dogs. Since this park is rarely crowded, neither issue has been a problem for me.

City dogs need space to burn off energy, a place to feel free. Deep Ellum Bark Park provides it, along with a dose of art for the humans.
