Support the independent voice of Dallas and help keep the future of Dallas Observer free.
Press release or public service announcement? Again, hard to tell. Nonetheless, here's a fiscal win-win for those who not only like the Chick-fil-A but also like it free: On Thursday, the chicken eatery that seasons its meat with a touch of Jesus will offer a year's worth of Chick-fil-A Combo Meal coupons to the first 100 growed-ups willing to stand in line at the chain's newest stand-alone location at 9386 LBJ Freeway. Says the media release, "The line can begin forming up to 24 hours prior to the opening, with the prizes being given away on May 8 sometime between 6 a.m. and 6:30 a.m." Not included in the prize pack: a gratis trip to the cardiologist. --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.
