Good morning, Dev Test County. The future of Dallas law enforcement takes shape as the City Council greenlights a state-of-the-art police training center at UNT-Dallas. This 20-acre facility promises to transform officer preparation with indoor simulation labs and specialized training areas, all part of Mayor Johnson's vision to make Dallas "the safest major city in America." Construction begins next year, funded by previously approved bond dollars.
Meanwhile, Hollywood history is hitting the auction block in spectacular fashion. The legendary Rosebud sled from "Citizen Kane," once thought lost until 1984, joins Harrison Ford's Indiana Jones whip (previously gifted to Princess Diana!) and Luke Skywalker's X-wing miniature among the treasures. While these cinematic artifacts find new homes, Dallas's housing market shows signs of cooling, with the city experiencing the second-largest year-over-year price decrease nationwide—a rare bit of relief for would-be homebuyers.

They're mythic objects," said Heritage's executive VP Joe Maddalena. Other notable items include Austin Powers' blue velvet suit and stone tablets from "The Ten Commandments" cut from Mount Sinai.
🏠 Dallas housing market cools as prices drop in May. The city experienced the second-largest year-over-year price decrease nationwide after Oakland, California, according to a new Redfin report. Despite rampant construction, high mortgage rates and rising property taxes have created affordability challenges for potential buyers. Meanwhile, Dallas faces flash flooding watches through Thursday, and downtown's historic Hartford Building is set for a $60-70 million apartment conversion.
