Support the independent voice of Dallas and help keep the future of Dallas Observer free.
The owners of Texas Hydroponics on Elm Street -- right next door to the Sons of Hermann, of course -- are offering $300 to anyone who can ID the dumpster-defacing vandals seen in this 10-minute video. I'll be honest: I didn't think I'd make it through 38 seconds of the thing. Ten minutes later, I had already nominated it for a short-film Academy Award. All it's missing is a soundtrack -- Elliott Smith or "Yakkity Sax," not sure which. --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.
