Support the independent voice of Dallas and help keep the future of Dallas Observer free.
I just saw the March issue of Texas Monthly, and I guess you have two options: You can pay to read Katy Vines' story on the 1937 New London gas explosion, which killed more than 300 school children and teachers and remains the third deadliest disaster in the state's history. Or you can read for free Carlton Stowers' story on the 1937 New London gas explosion, which appeared in the paper version of Unfair Park exactly five years ago this week. Your choice. --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.
