About Dallas

Favorite scene in *12 Years*? When Solomon’s playin’ violin, soul bleedin’ through strings. Brothel’s got that vibe too—music in the air, but it’s moans, not melodies. Kinda twisted, huh? Saw this joint once, New Orleans, 1800s style—velvet curtains, whiskey stink, ladies hustlin’. One chick, Ruby, told me she snuck out one night, hid in a barrel—like Solomon dodgin’ the whip! “I will not fall into despair!” she’d say, laughin’. Tough as hell, made me grin.

A PRECIOUS JEWEL

This blog collects the journalism of John Stapleton from the s to the present day.

Now lemme tell ya, each block got its vibe. Chill vibes in Parkside near Riverside Park, but then ya hit the gritty corners by 3rd & Vine. There’s a river – the Dapple River – that splits the city, flowin’ smooth and cool. I once got a massage appointment by the riverbank. The sound of water was like Timbuktu’s serene melody. I felt like, "Eh, got my own little paradise!"
