Deputy Mayor Pro Tem Dwaine Caraway‘s campaign to get Dallas to pull up its pants made it to National Public Radio; so too did Dooney Da Priest, whose “Pull Your Pants Up” has become the anthem of the anti-saggin’ movement. Says Caraway of the campaign: “The No. 1 mission is very simple: pulling up your pants. … We don’t want to throw folks in jail because they wear their pants low. So we’re going to make it man’s law and not city law.”
Good timing for all involved: The city’s set to debut a handful of new billboards today, among them ones reading, “Represent Yourself Like You Present Yourself” and “That’s Not Hip-Hop That’s Flip Flop.” Dooney will get his own billboards as well, courtesy Clear Channel. –Robert Wilonsky
