Change can be scary, but it’s often a good thing. One thing about Dallas/Fort Worth is that things are always changing. We’ve said goodbye to a lot of places this year, but also welcomed new ones. There’s always construction popping up in hopes of easing our traffic troubles. And we’ve entered the time of year where the weather is keeping us on our toes.

In case you missed it, a huge change went down in Fort Worth. Dickies Arena is now Ariat Arena! To celebrate this new era, we’re giving away a pair of tickets to see John Summit on November 8. Enter for a chance to win your way in here.
