🗞️ Dallas Digest
⛈️ Heads up: Severe storms possible today across DFW
Forecast models flag a window for strong winds, hail, and an isolated tornado or two this afternoon/evening. Keep weather alerts on, charge your phone, and know your safe spot at home or work. I’ll ping if timing shifts.
⚽ Dallas just scored #1 for 2026 World Cup hosting
A new ranking puts Dallas at the top U.S. host city thanks to AT&T Stadium’s capacity, hotel stock, and fan-friendly costs. Translation: more global eyes (and visitors) on our backyard—start scouting watch-party spots now.
🏫 New Texas school rules kick in
Schools are rolling out updates like stricter phone limits in class, financial literacy requirements, and tighter library/content oversight. If you’ve got kids, check your district’s newsletter this week for the exact campus rules.
🛒 First H-E-B inside Dallas city limits gains momentum
Zoning steps near Hillcrest & LBJ moved the long-teased store forward. City review and neighbor input continue, so timeline isn’t final—but the Dallas-proper H-E-B dream is feeling real. (Yes, tortilla station speculation is permitted.)

🌟 New in Dallas
Brunch lovers, rejoice—Broken Yolk Café is making Dallas mornings a whole lot brighter. The San Diego favorite is rolling out four new locations across North Texas, adding to the McKinney spot already buzzing with locals.
What to expect? Towering pancake stacks, California-style omelets, benedicts that mean business, and yes… mimosas before noon. 🍳✨ It’s the kind of place where breakfast easily turns into lunch, and nobody minds.
📍 Open now in McKinney, with Dallas doors opening soon. I’ll keep you posted the moment they flip the sign to “open.”
