Emily Ramshaw Hearts FrontBurner

The Texas Tribune launched today. I’m sure all you political wonks have already bookmarked it. An alert FBvian pointed out to me that former DMNer Emily Ramshaw lists among her favorite blogs our humble outpost here. We’re tickled. Just as tickled as we are by the clear homage that Evan Smith has paid to D Magazine with the artwork that accompanies one of their first lead stories. On the left, the first issue of D Magazine, in 1974. On the right, the Texas Tribune. (Yeah, yeah. I know. We weren’t the first to do it. Just funnin’.)

That old D cover raises a question to Wick: any idea whatever happened to John Merwin?

That cover is on the wall at Press Box Grill, downtown. I didn’t realize it was the first issue.

I don’t know — I might have to pull that ringing endorsement down after Wick’s inspired comment:
“To sum it up: I don’t care about El Paso or Tyler or most of what else goes on in the state.”

That is a burn.

I’m struck by the topics on the cover of the first issue: power in Dallas, whether my kid should attend a private school, and Fall fashion. Seems like I just saw that same issue on the stands a few months ago.
