Downtown Dallas boutique TenOverSix fills a cavity we did not know was empty: a need for international printed titles.

The Tim Headington shop has installed a newsstand, available in-store and online, filled with more than 50 independent magazines for sale, in categories of architecture, art, fashion, beauty, culture, design, entertaining, fashion, food, feminism, music, and travel.

Selections range from i-D to the Paris edition of Vogue to Paris Review.

According to a release, each title is hard to find and is hand-selected by TenOverSix president and creative officer Kristen Cole.

Cole hatched the idea while on a buying trip to Paris, which as we all know is where the best ideas always happen.

"I'm always lugging these publications home," she says in the release. "Why? I should be stocking great titles!"

Having these titles on hand would not only make Cole's trips to Paris less cumbersome, they would put Dallas in a league of other big cities, which is something Dallas always aspires to.

"When I lived in New York and Los Angeles these magazines were largely easy to access at good newsstands," she says. "Since moving to Austin, it's been a challenge to find the ones I love. I realized there was a similar hole in Dallas for curated content and wanted to fill that—pronto."

Pronto is how you do things in the Headington world.

TenOverSix is part of the Headington Companies' retail portfolio along with Forty Five Ten. It's the place to go if you are a lover of beautiful and original things including fashion, accessories, art, home design, beauty, music, books, films — and now international publications.

Cole makes a bold proclamation that goes against everything we've been told in recent years about media.

"Print is not dead!" she says. "There are people who’ll always appreciate the tactile quality and community aspect print brings to culture. The pendulum always swings back."

This is food for thought for CultureMap, which is an online digital publication only. Some might say the best online digital publication in all of Dallas and even Texas. Is it time to think print? Time will tell.

Meanwhile, the Joule's blog @1530Main is holding a contest where you can win a full year of magazines. All you need to do is follow them on Instagram.

Texas shocks as America's No. 3 least safe state in 2026 report

Texas ranks as the 48th "safest" state — out of 50.

While no state is invulnerable, some do more to protect their residents than others. And a new study has declared Texas one of the five least safe states in America.

WalletHub's "Safest States in America (2026)" report examined all 50 states for their emergency preparedness and for residents' personal and residential, financial, workplace, and road safety. Factors that weighed into the rankings include specific crime rates per capita, the share of the population that is uninsured, road quality ratings, workplace injury statistics, and more.

Texas ranked at the bottom of the list as the 48th "safest" state — or the third least safe state. It's joined by several other Southern states, like Mississippi (No. 50), Louisiana (No. 49), Florida (No. 47), and Arkansas (No. 46).

According to WalletHub, Texas specifically ranks third to last in the nationwide "emergency preparedness" category, which was determined based on the prevalence of climate disasters causing $1 billion or more in damages from 1980-2024, and the loss amount resulting from those disasters.

The Lone Star State also ranked 40th (or 10th worst) across three safety categories: personal and residential safety, financial safety, and road safety. The report additionally found that Texas has the highest rate of uninsured residents nationally.

Texas' "workplace safety" was the state's highest-ranking category, landing 30th nationally.

Additional rankings that determined Texas' overall safety include:

No. 30 – Assaults per capita
No. 32 – Fatal occupational injuries per 100,000 full-time workers
No. 32 – Sex offenders per capita
No. 35 – Murders and non-negligent manslaughters per capita
No. 36 – Fatalities per 100 million vehicle miles of travel
No. 41 – Loss amounts from climate disasters per capita

According to the report, the five safest states in America are all located in the Northeast. Vermont leads as the country's safest state in 2026, followed by Massachusetts (No. 2), Maine (No. 3), New Hampshire (No. 4), and Connecticut (No. 5).

Though every state has varying levels of safety, WalletHub analyst Chip Lupo asserted that the safest places in the U.S. categorically invest in protecting their residents. Top-ranking states have low crime rates and diligently maintain their road infrastructure, and other states that prioritize their residents' safety have "strong economies and job markets that prevent people from falling into dangerous financial situations."

"[The safest states in America] have high levels of occupational safety and disaster preparedness, too," Lupo said. "In addition, states are made safer by efforts that individual residents take, such as forming a neighborhood watch or working in firefighting and EMT jobs at high rates."
