Support the independent voice of Dallas and help keep the future of Dallas Observer free.
Last summer, we mentioned that University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill professor John D. Kasarda was predicting the rise of "the airport city" -- or, ya know, The Aerotropolis. Chief among those new central business districts is, of course, Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport and GlobeSt.com today fresh news of a mixed-use development shortly to spring up at DFW: something called Southgate Plaza, which'll cost between $250 and $350 million and break ground early next year on 32 acres at the airport. Says it's "the next development move to establish a world-class airport city" at DFW. Which ain't makin' Fort Worth Mayor Mike Moncrief too happy, not at all. --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.
