Typically, we at neighborsgo are focused on our little corner of the world – Richardson and Far North Dallas.

But lately, it seems, we’ve been traveling further and further afield – with stories that are, certifiably, not local except for neighbors who are or were there.

“Fresh Picks” features the top stories posted by our contributors at neighborsgo.com for and about the Richardson, Far North Dallas and Garland (RISD) area after the deadline for this week’s print edition. You, too, can post your news or blogs at neighborsgo.com. Then look for them here and in our neighborsgo print edition Fridays in The Dallas Morning News and free at local Starbucks locations.
