The "200 people move here daily" stat is real and it's why traffic gets worse every year. But also why the food, culture, and job market keep getting better.

The DJ comparison is spot-on. Both dominated thin divisions with such technical brilliance that people got bored. That is a bizarre criticism.

Tech fans at Katy Trail on a Saturday night after a big win are the most fun alumni group in DFW. Tortillas may or may not be thrown.

Irving PD said porch theft peaks in the 2-6 PM window when people are still at work but deliveries have arrived. Time your shipments accordingly.

Marketplace health insurance is WAY cheaper than COBRA. My COBRA was $870/month. Found a comparable marketplace plan for $410/month. That's $5,520/year in savings.

Don't sleep on Prosper. Between Frisco and McKinney, newer builds, and Prosper ISD is climbing fast on Niche rankings.

Please check mat cleaning protocols before you sign up anywhere. I got ringworm my first month at a gym that did not clean mats properly. It was miserable.

Lake Highlands is the sweet spot for families who want Dallas proper schools and taxes without paying Park Cities prices. White Rock Lake access is the bonus.

Crawford vs. Canelo is the dream fight but the size difference is real. Crawford is a natural 147 pounder. Canelo fights at 168. That is 21 pounds. Can Crawford carry that power up?

The atmosphere at St. James Park for Champions League nights was special. 52,000 people who waited decades for those nights. That energy cannot be bought.

Parents at Hughston: the school is aware and has added a staff member to morning arrival monitoring near the back entrance.

DPD said they are adding patrol car presence at the lots on weekends. But weekday mornings are still vulnerable.

Tarrant County makes it easy. Search by restaurant name or address. Reports go back multiple years so you can see trends.

DPD set up a "safe trade" zone in the parking lot of several stations. Use them. The cameras are rolling 24/7.

Top 10 heavyweight all time is correct but he is not top 5. Ali, Louis, Lewis, Holyfield, Foreman, Holmes all have stronger resumes. Fury is in the 7-10 range.

The Bivol loss showed his limits. Moving to 175 and losing to a natural light heavyweight proved that Canelo is elite but not invincible. His best work is at 168.

Town Hearth for steak over Pappas Bros? Bold take. Pappas porterhouse is the best steak in Dallas.

The food east of 635 is DFW's best-kept secret. Lower rent = lower menu prices = better value for diners. Simple economics.

Cost of business. Texas has no state income tax, DFW commercial real estate is cheaper than coastal cities, and the labor pool is deep. That's why corporations keep HQ'ing here.

I always bring Levels.fyi data to negotiations now. Hiring managers respect candidates who come with market data.

As a Cowboys fan, the drafting of offensive lineman Zack Martin at #16 in 2014 (when everyone wanted Johnny Manziel) is the best draft decision in franchise history. The rare example of a team getting it right.

Richardson Coit Rd corridor is basically the Indian food capital of Texas. Saravanaa, Madras Pavilion, and a dozen more within 2 blocks.

Arlington at $310K median is the best value in the metroplex. 20 min to both Dallas and Fort Worth. Sports stadiums. Why is nobody talking about this?

52% of your property tax going to the school district is wild. Even if you don't have kids, you're funding schools. It's the biggest line item by far.
