Support the independent voice of Dallas and help keep the future of Dallas Observer free.
Well, Jesus, this sure sounds a little, ah, sketchy. (Cheap too -- what is that, a .02 percent tip?) Here's the lead item from a New York Times round-up this morning of items "Lost and Found in New York Taxicabs":
MIDTOWN, FEBRUARY 2007 A woman from Dallas left a suitcase in Osman Chowdhury’s taxi, which she took from the Hilton Hotel to East 35th Street between Second and Third Avenues. She gave Mr. Chowdhury a 30-cent tip on a $10.70 fare -- and a $100 reward when he returned the suitcase, which had been left in the trunk and which held, in addition to clothing, 31 diamond rings and a laptop computer.

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.
