Support the independent voice of Dallas and help keep the future of Dallas Observer free.
Need a stamp? Because they're selling 'em at the University of Texas at Dallas tomorrow -- specifically, the brand-new Gerald Ford 41-cent'er that makes its bow on Friday with special ceremonies only at UTD, the Gerald R. Ford Presidential Library in Grand Rapids, Michigan, and at Ford's former home in Rancho Mirage, California. Seems this kind of thing happens every so often at UTD, where its Wineburgh Philatelic Research Library is a major player among stamp collectors. Says the university's release, this marks the third time "the special collection library has been chosen for a stamp dedication," so lucky. The shindig's at 2:30; bring your tongues. And somebody please invite Jim Schutze to read this. --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.
