Local LGBT Community Role Model
Todd Maria
Todd Maria wasn’t born in Texas, but as the story goes, he got here as quickly as he could. The native of Honolulu has not only made Dallas his home for 14 years, he’s made it his mission, having co-founded the Lost Souls Rugby squad, serving as Alan Ross Texas Freedom Parade grand marshal and being an all-around cheerleader for the community.

Best Architecture or Landmark
Dallas Downtown Arts District
Civic leaders like to tout Dallas’ Arts District as being the largest contiguous outdoor district of its kind in the world, but the reality is far better than the marketing log-line. Not only are there beautiful performing spaces (the Winspear Opera House, the Wyly Theatre, the Meyerson Symphony Center and Moody Performance Hall) and museums (Dallas Museum of Art, Nasher Sculpture Center and Crow Museum of Asian Art), there are also Dallas’ arts-magnet high school (Booker T. Washington High School for Visual and Performing Arts), the impressive One Arts Plaza mixed-use building, great restaurants and more. No wonder it stands out as a landmark.
