Good morning, Dev Test County. Dallas is becoming a canvas for artistic expression this summer, with Brad J. Goldberg's granite masterpiece "COMUNIDAD" in Crawford Park making national waves. The century-old Pleasant Grove park now features community tables designed to bring together anywhere from two to 80 people, earning the installation a spot among the top 100 projects for the prestigious 2025 CODAawards. Public voting continues through July 11, giving locals a chance to support homegrown talent on the national stage.
Meanwhile, cultural celebrations continue as the Asian Film Festival returns to Angelika Film Center July 24-27, showcasing over 25 films that explore human connection through various genres. The four-day event promises everything from Japanese thrillers to action-comedies, complete with filmmaker Q&As and Asian cuisine. In less celebratory news, a recent SWAT operation on Aspen Drive resulted in a significant drug seizure and the arrest of 31-year-old Deshyne Williams on manufacturing and delivery charges.
