Support the independent voice of Dallas and help keep the future of Dallas Observer free.
I've asked Dallas Area Rapid Transit spokesman Morgan Lyons if he wants to rethink this idea:
Dallas Area Rapid Transit (DART) is inviting its customers to show off their love connection this Valentines and "give us a kiss" by e-mailing a photo of themselves and a loved one kissing onboard a DART bus or train or Trinity Railway Express train.
The transit agency hopes to post the pics on its Facebook page. Why? Dunno. There's no prize or nothin', and you won't get paid, and once you send DART the photo, it has "the irrevocable right" to do whatever whenever. And, well, you know someone's gonna send in a pic of something that pushes the boundaries. Maybe you should just run them by us before you send to DART.
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.
