Overheard Where?

See if you can guess where these Overheardian bloggers (Kersten, Charles, and Merritt) ate a power dinner last Friday night? Also present (but not pictured, so as to maintain their innocence) were Kersten’s and Charles’ spouses. Merritt’s spouse said he couldn’t make it, but this is being investigated.

Important blog business was, of course, discussed.

McClatchy Making Cuts, 130 Star T-ers to Lose Jobs

The Ft. Worth Star Telegram is losing 130 staffers, 17 of which were allegedly laid of this morning. My condolences to our journalism brethren.

But with all this glut of jobless newspaper folks in town, maybe this will get filled faster.

Just How Good is an Eleven Dollar Burger?

I’m not sure, but I will definitely find out as the new Burger Bar inside the Zodiac Restaurant in Neiman Marcus NorthPark is opened and ready to serve the seriously hungry shopper.

With an array of burger choices, from veggie to salmon to Kobe beef, diners can enjoy the calorie-filled lunch while watching a flat-screen t.v. streaming the latest runway shows. Doesn’t something about that seem cruel?

Verizon Yellow Pages Dumped 2,890 Pages of Trash on My Porch

Dear Verizon Yellow Pages,

Please stop littering my porch with telephone books, I don’t want them. And I’m just curious, but in a time when everyone is really focused on saving the planet, how is it that you feel OK dumping 7 pounds of trash in my yard?

And one more thing, how much did Allen A. Rad pay to be on the cover of your directory? I’m thinking People Newspapers could cut him a major advertising deal with perks like his face showing up on the right hand side of this blog and not in the trash.

Love,

Merritt
