November 23,  2018 By Todd Davis Good evening! Here is a look at the top headlines of the day. Prefer the online view? It's [here](. (Ashley Landis / Staff Photographer) dallas Why is a Dallas street named for French Nazi collaborator Philippe Pétain? Columnist Robert Wilonsky writes: Philippe Pétain commanded the French armies during World War I. He was considered a savior after the bloody Battle of Verdun, which left 300,000 French and German soldiers dead. He was made Marshal of France in 1918 and was venerated by his countrymen. During World War II, the hero became villain: Pétain led the Vichy government; surrendered to and collaborated with the Nazis; deported 75,721 Jews, including immigrants and French natives, to the death camps; and was later found guilty of treason and allowed to die in prison rather than be executed. Quelle surprise. [A street in Dallas is named for a French war hero-turned-Nazi collaborator](. You never know when that left turn is going to lead down history's dark path. I had no idea. Neither, I am sure, do the people who live along Petain Avenue, near Military Parkway and North Jim Miller Road. Your turn: Dallas leaders hope [a revamped delegation to the Texas House]( delivers results. Fatality: [A 17-year-old was fatally shot]( outside of Skyline High School. advertisement [( communities In highly-tolled Collin County, leaders want a cheaper way to solve traffic Between existing toll roads and a $600 million commitment in a Nov. 6 bond election, Collin County residents are well-invested in their highways. So invested, in fact, that [their top elected official, County Judge Keith Self, says they're tired of paying as they go](. "We've got the highest concentration of toll roads anywhere in the state," Self said. "We've got people spending a lot of money to get places. We're not trying to get more toll lanes, we're trying to figure out how to build more freeways like everyone else has." Monumental task: [West Dallas military veterans]( are pushing for a plaza of their own. Healing touch: A [sea turtle hospital]( is giving Dallas-Fort Worth a role in saving endangered species. business How wired is your Dallas office? A new certification helps you find out In Dallas’ competitive real estate market, office buildings now have another way to stand out. New York-based WiredScore has added Dallas to the list of markets where it certifies commercial real estate properties for quality of internet connectivity. [The real estate tech firm surveys a building's technology infrastructure and, if it meets criteria, the building receives one of four designations.Â]( WiredScore joins a growing list of real estate-related designations. Buildings can get certified for using sustainable materials and an eco-friendly design with Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) certification. Or they can apply for WELL designation, which certifies buildings for being geared toward health and wellness. Shop talk: [Black Friday shoppers set records online](, but millions of them also couldn't resist the malls. That will work: Little perks and meaningful practices yielded high impact for [Dallas' Top 100 Places to Work winners](. advertisement [( (Nathan Hunsinger / Staff Photographer) Photo of the Day Visitors take to the ice at Galleria Dallas on Friday on the day the shopping center lit its massive tree to begin the holiday season. Santa flipped at the sight of it. Don't believe us? [We have a video to prove it](. EDITORS' PICKS - No hard feelings: After 26 years, the bond between [Rep. Gene Green and Sylvia Garcia]( remains as she replaces him. - Editorial: Don’t Texas lawmakers have better things to do than debate [chickens and lemonade stands](? - Commentary: [Saving money on Black Friday](? Pay it forward to end poverty on Giving Tuesday. - Houston fatality: A [partially naked man]( died in police custody after attacking employees at a Houston Whataburger. - Longhorns to play in Arlington: Texas earned a Big 12 football championship game berth with its [24-17 win in Kansas](. - The 'Boys are back? [The Cowboys are now playing with a sustained confidence]( and swagger with Thursday's win against the Redskins. Finally... Tarrant County prosecutors are going after home contractors Our Watchdog, Dave Lieber, writes: Tammy Callison pulled off a trick I've never seen. Angry that a contractor she hired for a home remodeling job left her high and dry, she complained to the Bedford Police Department No one would help. She was told problems like hers are civil, not criminal. She called the Tarrant County district attorney's office, but because she didn't have a case number — she had no case yet — she couldn't talk to a prosecutor. So she went on Facebook and posted a personal rant. No biggie there. We've all done that, right? On her post, she tagged two TV stations, Bedford police, The People's Court, The Dallas Morning News and the Tarrant County district attorney's office.
