I have been hoping to get to the bottom of the pernicious “dogfennel” rumor, but so far I haven’t gotten a bite, nibble, or even a whimper from my readers (whomever they are). I am prepared to put the “dogfennel” notion to sleep, but I will give the neighborhood one more chance to sniff out […]

Dr. Dre streams into Dogpatch I am too cheap to subscribe to BizJournals, so I did not see if it is indeed Beats By Dre or the new startup Daisy. […]
Someone posited that Dogpatch is named after “dog fennel,” with the related imagining that it used to grow wild here.
