The good news is, there's a fresh new taqueria open on Dallas' Greenville Avenue. Called
Saint Taco, it's located at 5323 Greenville Ave., where it's serving breakfast tacos, street tacos, Tex-Mex staples, and wings.
The not-so-good news: It replaces BBBop Seoul Kitchen, which has been serving upscale quick-serve Korean comfort food at that location for more than a decade.
But things change, especially since COVID-19. And really, this just follows the lead set at the original BBBop in Carrollton, which was transformed into a taqueria in 2013 (under the name Tacoria Tacos, but they've now rebranded to Saint Taco).

Although things are starting to feel "pre-pandemic normal" as more Dallas-Fort Worth residents get vaccinated against COVID-19, large gatherings still aren't safely feasible. So local nonprofits continue to come up with creative ways to raise important funds for their operations and services. Below are the newest ones to announce pandemic-safer plans — outdoor events, live streams, and some hybrid happenings. (You'll find more here, here, and here.)

A scene from the original
Art Heist in Vancouver.
Art Heist has devised yet another way to consume culture in a safe setting.
Canadian theater artists TJ Dawe and Ming Hudson developed the 90-minute show for last year's Vancouver Fringe Festival, framing it as an outdoor walking tour in which small masked audiences move from actor to actor as the story advances.
It's currently being presented by the AT&T Performing Arts Center, in front of and around the Winspear Opera House in Sammons Park, after first stopping in San Antonio, Austin, and Houston. Groups depart every half hour and follow guides in the form of FBI agents and insurance investigators.
