Our August issue is all about power.
Our cover story tells everything you ever wanted to know about the energy grid and how it affects our daily lives. Newly elected Dallas City Councilman Philip Kingston talks about the power of listening as the key to getting things done at City Hall. “Outsider art” collectors in East Dallas show just how influential a piece of amateur art can be.

Burlesque has become increasingly popular these days — did you know that Dallas ranks third in the country for the largest amount of burlesque dancers and audience?
