WE KNOW, WE KNOW! Musume is moving in - your new go-to spot for contemporary Asian cuisine and fabulous sushi. With an OG location in the Dallas Arts District, get ready for zen lighting, moss installations, a private Tatami room, two bars, and tableside ramen! SEE PICS!

  • There’s renewed buzz about the proposed Frisco Center for the Arts, which is hoping to become the ultimate stage for everything from Broadway shows to local productions. The public is invited to participate in a meet and greet with members of the architectural concept design team, Jan 30-31. Grab more info here.

  • Frisco's charter review is set to remain on the May ballot, despite reservations from city council members. The council has voiced various concerns, but the decision to keep the review on the ballot ensures residents can vote on potential changes to the city's governing document. Two items in particular—the ones some council members said they had reservations about bringing up in May—would propose raising council members’ monthly pay and replacing the city’s ethics policy on receiving gifts to better align with state law. Read the proposed amendments.
