As Bob Sambol, founder of Bob's Steak &amp; Chop House, attended these meetings, sitting beside a different restaurateur each time, he realized the inner workings of Dallas hospitality would make a great podcast. That idea became the foundation of “Rare Conversations,” a podcast and video series that brings together leading restaurant competitors and reveals their tough realities.</description><pubDate>Tue, 18 Aug 2026 00:00:00 +0100</pubDate><guid>https://media.journoportfolio.com/users/323658/uploads/ed66caf6-f397-46c0-bcdb-181591e0adc4.pdf</guid></item><item><title>Creating a village: Welcome Inn keeps families off the streets</title><link>https://www.columbiamissourian.com/news/growingunderpressure/creating-a-village-welcome-inn-keeps-families-off-the-streets/article_cbc32495-5b8c-4291-b457-c9802b7d59d3.html</link><description>Every afternoon at around 3:20 p.m. during the school year, roughly 40 kids hop off a Columbia Public Schools bus and arrive at their home, the Welcome Inn. They join toddlers riding their bikes around the motel’s parking lot, all making their way to the back of the motel, or what residents refer to as “the northside.” At the self-created “village,” two floors of motel room doors stand open as children dart in and out while parents and grandparents watch from lawn chairs. “This whole place has kind of turned into its own community where neighbors get to know neighbors and they just get neighborly, … and we all understand each other,” said Jennifer Rodriguez, Welcome Inn property manager and resident. “We all have kids, so it’s kind of nice to get out, let the kids play and try to give them some sort of normality.”</description><pubDate>Sun, 26 Jul 2026 00:00:00 +0100</pubDate><guid>https://www.columbiamissourian.com/news/growingunderpressure/creating-a-village-welcome-inn-keeps-families-off-the-streets/article_cbc32495-5b8c-4291-b457-c9802b7d59d3.html</guid></item><item><title>Friends remember Carrollton soldier Isabella Gonzales</title><link>https://media.journoportfolio.com/users/323658/uploads/cea24f65-c476-464c-a42f-956fd80f69db.pdf</link><description>Friends of Isabella Gonzales, the Carrollton soldier who was killed during an attack in Jordan, expressed shock and disbelief this week after federal officials announced that the 19-year-old is a casualty of the war with Iran. Tech. Sgt. Rusty Frank, a public affairs specialist with Air Force Mortuary Affairs Operations, said Tuesday evening that the body of Gonzales would be returned for a dignified transfer ceremony expected to begin at 10 a.m. Dallas time Wednesday at Dover Air Force Base in Delaware, although the timing is subject to change.

World Cup travelers can’t get enough of the U.S. food experience, going viral for their reactions to eating Texasstyle barbecue or visiting fast-food restaurants such as Taco Bell for the first time. Visitors are enamored with the simple pleasures that Texans, and Americans in general, perceive as normal.

suddenly screamed for his mother. Felicia Stearman bolted into the bathroom to see the onceclear water pouring out of the faucet shift to a dark red stream, an unfortunate but common
occurrence for the household. The family moved here three years ago, excited to relocate into the home the boy’s father, Steven Stearman Sr., built himself. That excitement quickly faded when the family discovered the house’s water would periodically be discolored, forcing them to pivot to wet-wipe baths. Trinidad has long had problems with its water, according to residents of this city of 860 people about 70 miles southeast of Dallas. Every few weeks, they say, water ranging in color from
amber to espresso brown to rust red flows out of the spigots. They say it holds particles and
sediment, and leaves gritty residue as it swirls down drains. At times there is no water at all.</description><pubDate>Fri, 26 Jun 2026 00:00:00 +0100</pubDate><guid>https://media.journoportfolio.com/users/323658/uploads/f6107264-9fec-49ef-bf93-e58f7933f5dd.pdf</guid></item><item><title>Six-Mile Ordinary survives shifting spirits market with alternative business model</title><link>https://www.columbiamissourian.com/special_section/business_spotlight/six-mile-ordinary-survives-shifting-spirits-market-with-alternative-business-model/article_9b372596-64cd-4193-862b-cbd4293930c5.html</link><description>The economics of distilling spirits are brutal. The business requires lots of startup capital, has intense competition and battles for market share amid declining alcohol consumption. Yet Columbia’s Six-Mile Ordinary has found a way to survive, using an alternative business strategy focused on faster profits and lower production risks. Six-Mile was founded by Maury Allen in 2018. A year later, the company created its first batch of vodka with financial backing from Allen’s other business, Physical Performance Systems.</description><pubDate>Thu, 18 Jun 2026 00:00:00 +0100</pubDate><guid>https://www.columbiamissourian.com/special_section/business_spotlight/six-mile-ordinary-survives-shifting-spirits-market-with-alternative-business-model/article_9b372596-64cd-4193-862b-cbd4293930c5.html</guid></item><item><title>Compass School partnership with Northway sparks debate in University Park</title><link>https://media.journoportfolio.com/users/323658/uploads/2fb3a512-8918-4ced-acdd-f7e097e746f6.pdf</link><description>Some University Park residents are voicing concerns about traffic and pedestrian safety over an application by Northway Christian Church to house a private school next year because it would be too close to a nearby public school.  The Compass School of Texas, which is expanding its location at 5414 W. Northwest Highway, wants to move to Northway until its remodel is done. In a letter to its members earlier this year, Northway said it will close its Day School to make room for Compass beginning with the 2027-28 school year.</description><pubDate>Wed, 17 Jun 2026 00:00:00 +0100</pubDate><guid>https://media.journoportfolio.com/users/323658/uploads/2fb3a512-8918-4ced-acdd-f7e097e746f6.pdf</guid></item><item><title>Behind the gavel: A look into the veteran judge overseeing the Anthony Trial</title><link>https://media.journoportfolio.com/users/323658/uploads/d06028dd-d5fb-4832-9949-aa6da03d8bc8.pdf</link><description>A brown Boykin Spaniel named Justice usually sits at District Judge John Roach Jr.’s feet every day at the Collin County courthouse. The medical service dog, who monitors the judge’s blood pressure, has witnessed trials that have ended in years-long prison stays and cases involving child protective services, where the pup often comforts the children. But these days, the dog is staying home as Roach presides over one of the biggest trials of his career: the nationally watched Karmelo Anthony trial. The judge, who has been on the bench since 2007, oversaw the trial — rife with racial tension and attracting protesters outside the courthouse daily — as he prepares to retire at the end of the year.</description><pubDate>Mon, 08 Jun 2026 00:00:00 +0100</pubDate><guid>https://media.journoportfolio.com/users/323658/uploads/d06028dd-d5fb-4832-9949-aa6da03d8bc8.pdf</guid></item><item><title>Never missed a beat: Fort Worth music teacher retires with perfect attendance</title><link>https://media.journoportfolio.com/users/323658/uploads/e84d8bb8-42e2-4543-b72c-2093cd8fb295.pdf</link><description>Fans waited in line for up to three hours Thursday to score free bracelets at the FIFA Fan Festival in Fair Park.

In Fair Park, fans can customize their bracelets with Dallas-specific charms such as a cowboy hat and longhorn. Jennifer Chandler, president of Bank of America Dallas, said the partnership with FIFA has been in the works for about two years. The idea for the bracelets, she said, stemmed from wanting to provide a keepsake to those who were not able to attend a match, and providing them a way to have a memento. “How do we make sure that there's something tangible as people are either attending the match or attending the Fan Fest to have something to remember this incredible experience by?” Chandler said.</description><pubDate>Thu, 04 Jun 2026 00:00:00 +0100</pubDate><guid>https://media.journoportfolio.com/users/323658/uploads/e84d8bb8-42e2-4543-b72c-2093cd8fb295.pdf</guid></item><item><title>'It could have been us': Oak Cliff residents fear returning after fatal explosion</title><link>https://media.journoportfolio.com/users/323658/uploads/fccd40b2-0215-45d0-aa03-073002bb02ad.pdf</link><description>Angelica Alvarado has stopped cooking.
