Dallas

Dallas, Texas is in the news for several reasons. Recently, a Black man, Tommy Lee Walker, executed in 1956 for the rape and murder of a white woman in Dallas, was exonerated 70 years later due to racial bias and false evidence in the original case. Economically, Dallas is experiencing price increases, reflecting a broader national trend of inflation as Americans continue spending. In sports, a 'Man v Fat' soccer league, aimed at weight loss, is expanding in suburban Dallas. The city is also indirectly impacted by a major winter storm sweeping across the US, potentially affecting travel and causing disruptions, and Cathay Pacific has cancelled flights to the US ahead of the storm. While not explicitly stated that the cancelled flights were to Dallas, the storm's widespread impact suggests potential disruptions to travel in and out of the city. Furthermore, Cooper Flagg, an NBA player, set a new record, though the article doesn't mention Dallas directly, it highlights the city's connection to national sports news.
