Thank gosh you are NOT the mayor, Zachary! I wouldn't have all my flower beds so perfectly turned b/c you'd be so busy balancing the budget, vetoing (SP?) bridges and taking smoke breaks. And, yes, the DMN link is super irritating. Why can you not hit the back button? Another reason to dislike the DMN. I second that! Thank gosh you are NOT the mayor, Zachary!

Then all you see is a blank page with a continue link. I agree - their website is the absolute worst for basic navigation, but AdBlock fixes a lot of their other evils.

Gee, I'm sure glad we're wasting money on "signature bridges". For the last 45 years, the City of Dallas has had lousy city government and city management. $50 Million shortfall in city budget, huh?

It's one thing if the ad only shows up the first time you visit the homepage, but before EVERY article page? Really? Then, when you hit the "back" button it takes you to the Dallas News home page, not the site you came from. Worst. Website. Ever.
