    More on The Eagles

    The Eagles have been rocking for more than five decades.

    In the fall of 1971, the band formed and released its self-titled debut album a year later. The band went on to release five more albums through the 1970s.

    After a lengthy hiatus, the band reunited in the early 1990s and performed together for a few years. It would be a few more years until the band released its next, and as of now final, studio album “Long Road Out of Eden” in 2007.

    The band’s greatest hits album, “Their Greatest Hits 1971-1975,” is the best-selling album of all time in the U.S. with more than 40 million units sold, according to the Recording Industry Association of America. Some of the tunes from that album include “Take it Easy,” “One of These Nights,” Peaceful Easy Feeling,” “Lyin’ Eyes,” “Desperado” and more.

    Over the years, The Eagles have played numerous times in North Texas, including several stops in Fort Worth. The band’s last show in Cowtown was at Dickies Arena in 2022.

    A 14-year-old boy was fatally shot at a west Arlington home on Friday night, and another teen faces a manslaughter charge, police said.

    Officers responded to the 4600 block of Sausalito Drive, near West Arkansas Lane, after someone reported a shooting. They found a teen unresponsive in one of the bedrooms, police said Saturday in a news release. First responders tried to save him, but he died at the scene.

    Investigators determined the 14-year-old and several of his friends had a gun and were playing with it right before the weapon went off, the release states. The Tarrant County Medical Examiner ruled the teen’s death a homicide and identified him as Riley Allen Jordan.

    The teen who allegedly fired the gun was arrested and charged with manslaughter, according to police. He was taken to the Tarrant County Juvenile Detention Center.

    Authorities haven’t released the suspect’s name or age. Police said they’re continuing to investigate how the juveniles got the weapon.

    Arlington Fire Department

    The Arlington Fire Department is investigating the cause of a three-alarm fire early Wednesday at an abandoned school building, officials said.

    Firefighters responded around midnight to investigate smoke coming from the area of Collins Street and Tharp Street, according to a news release from the Arlington Fire Department.

    When firefighters arrived, they observed smoke coming from the roof of the former Carter Junior High School, at 701 Tharp St., the release stated.

    A third alarm was called at the vacant school building, which is currently in the process of demolition, as the fire intensified on the second and third floors. Firefighters called for additional personnel to ensure adequate resources and firefighter safety, according to the release.

    “Firefighters worked aggressively to contain the blaze, and the fire was declared under control at 1:29 a.m., approximately one hour and 25 minutes after initial units arrived on scene,” the release said.

    No injuries were reported.

  • That viral-craze breakfast cafe has a new location in Arlington

    [ad_1]

    ARLINGTON

    Arlington has always been a good breakfast town.

    From Skillet N’ Grill and Division Street Diner on the west side to Pioneer Restaurant on the east, Division Street alone is worth a stop on a morning trip to or from Dallas.

    That’s not to mention Good Day Cafe, JayJay’s, JR’s, Tom’s and a half-dozen other cafes. Compare Arlington’s breakfast scene to Austin, which does not have a single old-school cafe.

    So Breakfast Brothers is in the right city. Now, it’s in the best location.

    The newest Breakfast Brothers, Arlington’s homegrown hit restaurant of viral video fame, is open at 400 E. Front St.

    The new Breakfast Brothers location is a large, sunny cafe in downtown Arlington, Texas, seen Oct. 25, 2025.

    That’s only 1 mile from AT&T Stadium, and perfectly positioned to feed the morning crowd lining up for lunch at Hurtado Barbecue.

    Owner Rickey Booker’s Southern-cooking standout was off to a busy grand opening last weekend, but the kitchen seemed up to the task.

    The dining room tables were filled with Arlington’s beloved red velvet Belgian waffles with chicken or catfish, or with orders of shrimp-and-grits or catfish-and-grits.

    Breakfast Brothers serves breakfast and lunch all day. If you want lamb chops and scrambled eggs for lunch, they’re yours. If you want blackened catfish for breakfast, it’s yours.

    You can guess the favorites: the red velvet waffle ($17.75 with chicken tenders), a fried or grilled pork chop basket ($15.75), a fried rib basket ($16.75) and the signature chicken or shrimp fried rice ($18.75).

    The lunch menu also includes fried rice combos, collard greens, a lobster roll and lobster mac-and-cheese.

    Breakfast Brothers started in 2017 as a late-night food truck outside Booker’s King of Diamonds nightclub. He turned it into a morning food empire and opened in 2021 at 130 E. Bardin Road.

    In an earlier Eats Beat Live streaming show, Booker said he looked at the location and saw fans parking and walking from the restaurants to football and baseball games.

    “Arlington gets behind local restaurants,” he said. “They support you. …. It’s amazing to know you have this kind of support.”

    He has a streaming YouTube.com show, “In the Kitchen With the Breakfast Brothers.”

    Both Breakfast Brothers locations in Arlington are open daily for breakfast and lunch only; 682-284-1765 downtown, 682-399-8103 in south Arlington, breakfastbrothers.com.
