With a history that spans more than 35 years, the Dallas Observer has become an absolute institution in Big D. Our award-winning journalism highlights all the various ways the city's population and leadership both excels and fails. We celebrate the arts, food, music, culture and entertainment in a city that often doesn't get enough credit in these areas. In a time of dynamic growth and expanding inequality, we chronicle the way the Metroplex is handling these trends. We've written about the Bishop Arts District rising from warehouse spaces, the transformation of Oak Lawn/Cedar Springs into a proud LGBT neighborhood and the revitalization of Greenville Avenue.
