☕ A Note from Your Editor
Hey there! it's Emma, hitting send at 6:47am after another early morning at my desk.
I wake up at 4:30am most days to write First in Dallas because honestly? I love it. Finding that new taco spot, digging into city council drama, making sure you know about the road closure before you're stuck in it—this is what gets me out of bed.
But here's the real talk: keeping this newsletter independent and free for everyone means I need support from readers who can chip in. Not everyone can, and that's totally fine. But if First in Dallas has become part of your morning routine, would you consider supporting it?
$5/month helps me keep doing this thing I love. just Dallas news written for Dallas people.
(Cancel anytime. No hard feelings, ever.)
