Welcome to Dallas: The City That Just Can't Stop Expanding
That's how Heather Cowan describes it. She came to the area in 1995 to raise a family after graduating from college in South Dakota. Six months ago, she and her husband moved farther north to the quiet of Gunter, 50 miles from Dallas, 'to get ahead of the curve,' as she put it. Even in rural Gunter, though, Cowan said she was starting to 'feel' the growth.

Communication is key in any relationship, but sometimes things fall through the cracks. Our daily couple horoscope can help you find what's been lost and maintain that spark! Try not to worry too much about the small stuff today -- the details won't matter nearly as much as they did just yesterday. Your partner needs to know that you're fully engaged with the big picture. Put off any long-term arrangements for a few days. You need to think things through more closely before signing off. If your partner is pressuring you, ask them to lay off for a little while. It's a good time to check in with your partner about the state of their heart. You're tapped into a vast reservoir of positive energy that will help the two of you figure out what you want to do next. The odds are good that life is starting to overwhelm you a bit, but you can lean on your partner. After all, you support them when they're down, so you should expect the same in return.

You're going to have to resist the urge to tell your partner how it really is, or at least clean up your language so you don't hurt their feelings. Impulsive behavior could land you in the doghouse. You and your partner may spend more time chatting than actually doing anything today, but that's fine. You can get lost in the rhythms of your conversation, and the time should pass quickly. Your partner might not be thinking as rationally as you are, but that's no reason for you to school them. Yet. See if they figure out their error so you don't have to point it out. Your romance is going to sizzle today, mirroring the weather outside. You won't have to do anything special if you don't want to. Your raw energy will feel like a raging fire!

Bandstand to be renamed in honour of businessman
A park bandstand will be renamed in honour of a businessman dubbed "Mr Darlington". Alasdair MacConachie, who got the moniker because of his decades of support for his community, died on Christmas Day following a short illness. The 78-year-old supported many local initiatives and charities and held a variety of official posts and awards including Freedom of the Borough and Vice Lord Lieutenant of County Durham. The bandstand in Darlington's South Park, which dates from the 1890s, will be formally renamed after him ahead of the annual Proms in the Park event which takes place later. Leader of Darlington Borough Council Stephen Harker said they wanted to find another way to commemorate Mr MacConachie, who was also a chair and honorary president of St Teresa's Hospice, chair of Darlington College and Darlington Partnership, honorary chair of The Friends of Darlington Memorial Hospital and president of Darlington Rotary Club. He said: "Alasdair's contribution to Darlington was immense. "He was generous with his time and resources beyond compare, a true philanthropist who helped many worthy causes across the town." The bandstand will also be refurbished following support from Darlington Building Society, Point North and Darlington Rotary Club. Harker added: "In granting Alasdair Freedom of the Borough in 2012, the council had bestowed on him the highest honour it was able to. "We wanted to find another way to commemorate him and felt the proposal to rename the bandstand was a fitting tribute." Follow BBC Tees on X, Facebook, Nextdoor and Instagram. Durham County Council
