White Rock Creek Sewage

Another 100,000 gallons of wastewater headed toward White Rock Lake last month after sewage overflowed from a golf course in Plano. Officials worked to contain the spill. It started at Gleneagles Country Club, which abuts the lake-feeding White Rock Creek. The last time this happened, in late June, it was 10 times worse. That was 1 million gallons, which overflowed 12 miles up creek. The City of Plano managed to contain that spill within a mile of its origin. Water activities at White Rock Lake ceased for a weekend as a precaution.

Business News

Constructing a shopping center in a floodplain is complicated and expensive. But that’s Retail Plazas Inc.’s next endeavor — if the developer behind Creekside can woo the City of Dallas. RPI plans to construct a retail center at 6800 Abrams Road near Park Lane. The development’s aesthetic and tenants would be similar to Creekside shopping center at Abrams and Skillman. Called Creekside on the Trail, the center could consist of three two-tenant buildings with restaurants and perhaps a bicycle store. RPI has a handful of major hurdles to clear. The 6.6-acre property is zoned for singlefamily homes. The developer first must convince the City Plan Commission to recommend rezoning the vacant land to community retail. If RPI wins the commission’s favor, the next step is creating engineering plans that mitigate potential flooding and requesting Dallas City Council’s approval.

St., the new restaurant concept from the folks behind Jack’s Southern Comfort, introduced a brunch menu. The biscuits and gravy are so good, they deserve a parade. Gravy comes in black pepper or sausage varieties.

ONLINE OPINIONS: CHANGING TABLES FOR DADS?

Samantha Maria Sanchez Villalobos: “Yes! And make more for families!”

Rebekah Shamsa: “I’m all for it! What are dads supposed to do when they take the kids out alone? What is a single dad to do? Ask a complete stranger to do it? Change dirties on the seat of a restaurant booth? Maybe plop them up on the bar counter? Family restrooms all around .”
