Yeehaw! This is what Texas reads while in the outhouse. The magazine is big and beefy, like Texas…read more It has a bunch of great advertisements from the most Texas of advertisers. They've got quite the cross section of Texans here. The magazine has become THE authority on Texas Barbecue. This is something that Texas Monthly takes seriously, and they put out their Top 50 list every year, a coveted endorsement. They also do the Bum Steer Awards, which highlights the Lone Star State's biggest jerks, scammers, idiots, etc. I generally try to stay off this list. Texas Monthly also does some in-depth reporting, especially into topics that people may not want investigated, but Texas Monthly does a good job taking the time to write a lengthy article after doing in-depth investigative journalism into the topics. I've often read their magazine at the grocery store check out, or get it at the airport news stand. It's a hefty full color, all glossy magazine.

Probably the least Texas publication I can imagine. After receiving an issue and seeing the…read morecontent, I cancelled my subscription. Born and raised in Texas and have lived here over 70 years and this magazine does not cover the Texas I know and love. Texas Monthly sent me a refund when I cancelled my subscription but the check is no good. I have taken the check to two banks and both said that they can not process the check. Again, about as unTexan as you can get.

The Observer is NOT news: It is an advertising vehicle! Look at the ratio of 'news' to ads! Plus,…read moreas a weekly, they can't do news because the news cycle is too short for a long lead time weekly. I only read the 'Ask a Mexican', the investigative exposes, and the ads for twin midget Laotian trannys. Ok, serioulsy, the exposes are good but sometimes they fixate so much on City Hall that I fall asleep while reading over BBQ lunch and stab myself in the eye with a discarded pork rib. Do they really think that the average reader (who only picks it up for aforementioned tranny ads) really cares - or even understands - what they hell a bond package for the Trinity project is, or some arcane wrangling over a city hotel? If I want to know which bars to avoid, which massage places to get a happy ending, which over-prized/under-delivering restaurant has a special, where to find a colon cleansing in Oak Lawn, or where to find a DUI laywer, I'll pick up the Observer.

This is basically dozens of pages of articles about fancy fashion and parties. Not really sure how…read moreanyone could find this appealing but some people maybe do. They either throw them at my house or have them put in my mailbox. I find it funny that it says on the cover that the price of the magazine is $6.95. I would pay that just to stop getting it but there's on way to opt out. Oh well.

I agree with the previous reviewer....Current Culture. Nuff said. Oh and they throw parties…read moreeverymonth that have free booze. Woot Woot!

Why are magazines like this still a thing? Our freaking realtor gave everyone a gift subscription…read moreto this boring af magazine and they won't let me cancel it online. Don't give magazine subscriptions as gifts, people. Not everyone wants to read a multi-page spread about big hair mixed in with lists of the restaurants that paid to be recommended and a bunch of creepy urbanites standing in formation to advertise law firms and other bs. Isn't it enough that we bought a house? Now they have to saddle us with a glossy packet of waste paper once a month. And they'll probably do it again next year. Ugh.

D Magazine has always been one of my sources for entertainment and the social scene around Dallas…read moresince I moved here two years ago. I attend quite a few D-hosted events around town, so imagine my delight when, at a recent event, I struck up a conversation with the Audience Development Director who invited me to be a featured subscriber in an upcoming issue! On the day of my "photo shoot" I got a tour of their 21st floor offices in Downtown Dallas. Big open windows everywhere gave an amazing view of some Dallas landmarks (Old Red Museum, Reunion Tower, Margaret Hunt Hill bridge etc.). It was interesting to see a little bit of the process in how they lay out the magazine articles. Everyone I met was very friendly. So what do I LOVE about D Magazine! (Might be a shorter list to say what I do not like. #BlankList) Great articles - well written and witty, Great recommendations on events around town, restaurants, businesses, "The Best" series ... the list goes on and on! I have attended D-Magazine hosted events like restaurant openings (complimentary food and drink provided), Art events (complimentary tix to DIFF films), and looking forward to their NewComer, Welcome to Dallas Happy Hour at the gorgeous Marie Gabrielle Gardens on 5/17/17 (more complimentary food and drinks - review to come on that later!) My FAVE FAVORITE though ... The Best of Big D Party! What is it you ask? So in D Magazine (also their digital mag) you can always find articles on the best of Dallas - The best Dining, the best Bars, the best Shops, Doctors, Lawyers etc. ... you get the drift. Readers get to vote among multiple categories and and once a year (last year it was in August) they celebrate all these businesses with a PARTY!. There is a regular admission and a VIP admission option. I sprang for the VIP (think it was around $50 to $75?) and got a wonderful bag of goodies, including multiple gift certificates to some of the restaurants and entertainment businesses who were in attendance. Additionally there was unlimited food and drinks from all the "best of Big D"spots. Amazing venue, great music, photo booths, and just great people watching. If you live in Dallas and love being social, you should try to attend this event at least once. And grab a copy of D whenever you can, you will not be sorry.
