Support the independent voice of Dallas and help keep the future of Dallas Observer free.
I know we just posted Sam Coats' anti-Trinity River toll road spot, but we just found another one of the mayoral candidate's ads, and it kinda tickles us -- intentionally, we suppose. The guy's just so aw-shucksy, so down-homey, so old...sorry, meant to say old-fashioned. We just have one question: Did Coats' people lift that music from a Whataburger ad or a Motel 6 spot? Because it sure sounds familiar. --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.
