ANTHONY TAYLOR, 5, took the stage as Young Coalhouse when “Ragtime” came to Fair Park’s Music Hall. After hearing about the walk-on role, Anthony’s mother, Sherika, sent in Anthony’s application. Francisco Chairez, spokesman for Dallas Summer Musicals, says they offered walk-on roles because “[they] wanted to do something fun for the last three shows.” The series also includes “42nd Street,” running June 28-July 10. Sherika says Anthony “[didn’t] think the fact that it’s a Broadway production [had] sunk in his brain” before going onstage for the first time.

JOY MACARONS has opened its second location on Lower Greenville after much success at its Oak Cliff location. Liz Lanier, the macaron maker of JOY, says that “JOY will be a great fit” in Lower Greenville. Just like the original location at 839 W. Davis, JOY will be open seven days a week.

After 10 years, GREENVILLE AVENUE PIZZA CO. is opening a second location on the corner of Garland and Peavy roads. In a press release, Sammy and Molly Mandell say they are “so fortunate to have this opportunity to expand and share our concept with the community where we grew up.” Open from 11 a.m. to 1 a.m., the restaurant will serve pizza, hot sandwiches, wings and garlic knots to the pizza lovers and the late night munchers.

EMPORIUM PIES will add its third location on Main Street in Deep Ellum. Known for pies like “The Drunken Nut,” “Lord of the Pies” and “The Cherry Bomb,” the new location will open this fall just in time for the holiday seasons. Instead of the normal sandwich and fries combination, why not switch it up with a cocktail? Opened in early May in the Vagabond’s old building, KNUCKLE SANDWICH CO. offers a new twist on your local deli. Owners Eddie “Lucky” Campbell and Andrew Brimecome told Dallas Culturemap that this dream of a “hybrid deli” has been an idea 30 years in the making. This venture is not a first for the two. They also were a part of the team that opened Parliament Bar back in 2014. Knuckle Sandwich Co. is open seven days a week from 11 a.m.-11 p.m. with hopes to do delivery in the future.

Construction will begin this fall on a CHICK-FIL-A at Garland Road and Oldgate with plans to opne on Jan. 15, according to property owner John Brodersen. Rumors about the restaurant coming to different corners of the neighborhood have circulated for several years, but it seems they’ve finally been finalized.

The investors of THE LOT on East Grand picked up the old JIMMY’S WHEEL-IN and CENTURY LIQUOR STORE next door to turn into a more adult-friendly restaurant, distinct from its current family-friendly concept. The Lot’s managing partner, John McBride, says they are going to “put together something fun,” and to expect something “sooner rather than later.”

Just south on Grand, the former Promise of Peace Garden’s lot was purchased two years ago by METRO PAWS , which is hoping to open its third location this November or December. The building will have two stories with a possible dog park in back for its clients’ use, office manager Trey Knowles says, adding that the new clinic “will give some of our current clients a closer option” in an “area in need of veterinary care.”

The 24th GOODY GOODY Liquor Store should be open to White Rock customers this August. The newest store replaces the former Payless Discount liquor store
