OAK CLIFF has joined the Monopoly family. Available at the Walmart off Ledbetter, Oak Cliff-opoly allows you to buy the Oak Cliff Film Festival, own the entire Bishop Arts District and get stuck in traffic (instead of going to jail). The game, which seems to sell out on the same day, will be replenished continually. Produced by Late for the Sky, there are other city based versions like Daytona Beach-opoly and Napa Valley-opoly.

(+) A new Asian-inspired Cajun restaurant opened in the Bishop Arts District. Krio, at 223 W. Seventh Street at Zang, had its grand opening recently. Owners Dan Bui and Connie Cheng started their culinary journey with crawfish boils and pop-up dinners, and now they’ve ventured into a permanent space.

(+) Local chain White Rhino opened up a location in Bishop Arts District. The small chain, which started in Cedar Hill in 2007, also has locations in Waxahachie and Red Oak. Located at 223 W. Seventh Street at Zang, White Rhino features food and coffee menus.

Little free pantries popped up in Oak Cliff in response to the pandemic. Newlyweds Amber Padilla and Jonathan Smith put up a “blessings box” outside of their house with toilet paper. Emily Ruth Cannon stocked her free library with beans, bread and other staples. Maroches Bakery now also has the X+ “people’s pantry” which also provides essentials for the community.

(+) Grab food, drinks and a golf club at Another Round Mini Golf and Bar. “After traveling to the best miniature golf venues across the country, we have drawn inspiration from the best elements of each to bring an elevated indoor version to Oak Cliff,” owner Kendall Spence says. This new Insta-ready treat is at 660 Fort Worth Ave. and is currently taking reservations for small groups.

The driving force behind Cadilac Law is Lauren Cadilac. Lauren’s all-female firm is family focused, with five women, seven children and three senior parents in the mix.

Lauren’s concentration is real estate, wills, estate planning, probate and property tax protests. “I can’t emphasize enough the importance for singles — single parents especially — to have a will and establish Power of Attorney in case of catastrophe,” she says.

With a competitor’s spirit, Lauren loves researching remedies outside of court, but she litigates when necessary.

Mom of Noah, Liberty and 10-pound rescue pup Timm’e, Lauren enjoys membership in Oak Cliff Women in Business and Dallas’ All Breed Obedience Training Club.
