Support the independent voice of Dallas and help keep the future of Dallas Observer free.
Found out from looking here that a couple of days ago, Richard Florida -- and stay creative classy, Richard Florida -- posted to his Web site "A Singles Map of the United States," in which he breaks down "which cities have a surplus of single men (or women) -- and what that means for the country." (Coulda sworn I've seen this before, incidentally.) Dallas, not so incidentally, is represented by a rather large blue dot, which means single men way outnumber single women in our town (by some 40,000 or so), which you'd know if you spent 15 seconds in the Ghostbar. --Robert Wilonsky
Keep the Dallas Observer Free... Since we started the Dallas Observer, it has been defined as the free, independent voice of Dallas, and we would like to keep it that way. Offering our readers free access to incisive coverage of local news, food and culture. Producing stories on everything from political scandals to the hottest new bands, with gutsy reporting, stylish writing, and staffers who've won everything from the Society of Professional Journalists' Sigma Delta Chi feature-writing award to the Casey Medal for Meritorious Journalism. But with local journalism's existence under siege and advertising revenue setbacks having a larger impact, it is important now more than ever for us to rally support behind funding our local journalism. You can help by participating in our "I Support" membership program, allowing us to keep covering Dallas with no paywalls.
