Support the independent voice of Dallas and help keep the future of Dallas Observer free.
Those lightweights at Dallas City Hall didn't go full-frat with, say, a blue-painted bare chest workday to support the Mavericks before tonight's big game. But with a few gallon jugs of pond water-tint technology, the city's taking care of business today atop a shimmering pool of deep Mavs blue.
At 10 this morning, the city's pond maintenance/glee club was just getting started on the reflecting pool, in hip waders and thick rubber gloves, scattering a few drops of chemical every few steps -- a fine photo op for the kids, and a guarantee that hardly anything's living in that plaza's water today.
Jump for a few more shots of the city's blue lagoon.
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.
