The federal college financial aid form typically opens Oct. 1; around four dozen current and former Dallas elected officials and local leaders called on voters Wednesday to reject three proposed city charter changes they say would endanger the city and how it serves residents for years to come; and, in a move surely designed to flood any Nickelodeon-loving millennial with nostalgia, the kids TV network has partnered with restaurants around the country to create real-life versions of the SpongeBob SquarePants Krabby Patty to mark the show’s 25th anniversary.
