Support the independent voice of Dallas and help keep the future of Dallas Observer free.
Nick and Patrick are at the convention center; another photographer's embedded with the Mavs inside the barricades; another is posted at the American Airlines Center. That said, we won't beat you down with all-day posts from today's parade; only when it's appropriate and when it's over. But here, two hours before the beginning, fair warning: It's crowded and only getting more packed, from DART to the corner of Young and Griffin, where Mayor Dwaine Caraway's presently making the rounds.
Update at 8:12 a.m.: This just in from Dallas City Hall:
Dallas Police have now closed Victory Plaza because it has reached the 3,000 person maximum capacity. Please find another spot along the parade route to enjoy the celebration.
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.
