A host of activity will be happening on May 17th, better known as National Bike to Work Day! Bike Friendly Oak Cliff is working with BikeDFW and DART to host its first Energizer Station, modeled off of past events originally created by Bike Friendly Richardson. There will be 4 other such stations hosted in Dallas and surrounding cities. Go to bikedfw.org for more details!
But, BFOC does things a bit differently down here across the river. We are hoping to make it the most outrageous Energizer Station to date. We’ll give you a hint: Think loud and fun, with a bit of authentic Oak Cliff culture!

*ATTENTION: YOU MUST BE 21 YEARS OR OLDER TO SAMPLE BEER. IF YOUNGER, YOU’LL NEED A PARENT OR GUARDIAN TO ATTEND THIS RIDE! Please bring your IDs for verification at each location
We all know that beer and bicycles fit like mustard and hot dogs. It just feels right! So, now that Dallas’ craft brewery scene is exploding and opening up new breweries right and left, we feel it’s time to permanently meld the new Dallas bicycle culture together with a bicycle brewery tasting tour!

I love Texas Theater so much. The fact that they joyfully share with Dallas some of the most bizarre, obscure, obscene, hilarious and all around best movies ever made both old and new while selling beer make me a continuing happy patron of this fine theater. Saturday February 23rd Texas Theater will prove how cool it is once again with a one night showing of Orochi: The Serpant, the classic Japanese silent film from 1925. While this is pretty neat in and of itself, what makes the showing of this movie AWESOME is the fact that the group Montopolis from Austin TX, will be performing a live film score they wrote specifically for this movie.
Orochi: The Serpent “is the most popular and beloved film of Tsumasaburo Bando, featuring the star at the height of his fame. The film tells the story of a samurai who falls on hard times due to misunderstandings. It features brilliantly choreographed fight scenes, stunning cinematography, and editing that is years ahead of its time and downright psychedelic.” (via) This coupled with Montopolis’ film score, which has been described as being heavily influenced by late 70′s punk rock and analog synthesizers, will be nothing short of a incredibly unique experience. 
If you’re a film buff of the Samurai movie variety or anyone who’s looking to check out something that’s just plain awesome, be at at Texas Theater next Saturday at 8 p.m.

The Dallas Zoo is a must see and do in Dallas, Texas. The 106-acre park opened over a century ago and has grown to be one of the best zoos in the nation. The zoo recently added the Giants of the Savanna exhibit where a multitude of species are able to roam the land freely, giving guests a unique experience. A menagerie of elephants to ostriches covers this land and shares the habitat; a new feature, since the zoo kept many species separated in the past. The Dallas Zoo is also home to the Wilds of Africa where you are able to go on a unique safari ride, gliding through the air and looking down on the animals from inside a monorail. The Dallas Zoo even has its own Gorilla Conservation Research Center. (more…)

Me too. This year, instead of fighting mobs of shoppers in crowded malls, and I’ll be strolling the historic streets of Oak Cliff’s Bishop Arts District sipping apple cider for Jingle Bells on Bishop…and I suggest you do the same. Today from 11am till 10pm you can see Santa, build a gingerbread house, buy gifts, get gifts wrapped, hear live music, sing a carol and more:

Thanksgiving is this Thursday, and I can guarantee you’re about to be on turkey overload. When Mom has run out of ideas on how to fashion stuffing left-overs, and the idea of cranberry sauce just about makes you nauseous, it’s time to go see a guy who never runs out of ideas. Urban Fabric: The Photographic Art of Justin Terveen is taking place this Friday. And if you have never seen his photographs, get ready to feast your eyeballs on something much tastier than turkey. His work is pure visual stimulation and unmatched creativity: he was named “Best Urban Explorer” in the Dallas Observer’s “Best of Dallas 2010”. So put down the mashed potatoes and go check it out. Really, the potatoes will be there when you get back.
The event will take place this Friday, November 26 from 7pm-11:30pm at the Kessler/X+ Art Gallery 1230 West Davis Street

Does sitting inside at restaurants bore you? Tired of having to get to your favorite patio-ed eatery at 5pm to snag a spot outside? As Dallasites, we’re lucky enough to enjoy beautiful autumn weather that allows us to sit outside well into the “colder” months sans parka. Oak Cliff believes this needs to be celebrated with a massive outdoor dining experience fit for 100 lucky guests. On November 1st, some of Oak Cliff’s most celebrated chefs will prepare a six-course meal to be served outdoors on a 150-foot table. The Bishop Arts Big Table tickets are $100 each and benefit The Well Community, an Oak Cliff non-profit. Register for the biggest table you’ve ever seen at PreKindle.com and click here for more information from gooakcliff.org.

The creative minds of Oak Cliff have a vision for our neighborhoods. A vision where medians are lush with shrubbery so cars slow down and pedestrians have a safer way to cross the street. A vision of an active, alive, and engaging community, where residents actually enjoy being outdoors.
At Better Block, cafes with outdoor patios lined West Davis Street and hundreds of people came to see the achieved effect: when a street is tailored to residents instead of industry; community blooms. “[It] created a totally different atmosphere for a block,” said a Better Block attendee. A plethora of city ordinances were broken, but for the right reason: making a lasting impact on the community.
