Keeping DFW informed and accountable.
your coach is right and you should listen to him. 50/50 is the industry standard for a reason. the drilling builds the foundation and the rolling tests it. without drilling you are just surviving on instinct which has a ceiling
The Plaza Theatre in Garland does incredible shows for the price. Saw a production there last year that could have been on Broadway. $20 tickets. Rowlett people — this is 15 minutes from you.
I switched to getting dropped off at the kiss-and-ride after hearing about this. Not worth the risk of a broken window and $300 in repairs for a $10 phone charger.
I called Oncor and got through to an actual person. They said a tree limb hit the line near the substation on Chiesa Rd during the wind gust. Crews had to replace a section.
The GISD school thing is the only reason I hesitated before buying here. But Herfurth has been excellent for our kids. The elementary experience is great. I'm more concerned about middle and high school.
Has anyone checked this out yet? Need a firsthand review.
Real talk right here. No sugarcoating.
My son crosses Dalrock every morning to get to Coyle. The amount of people on their phones blowing through at 40 MPH is terrifying. Thank you Rowlett PD for enforcing this.
My concern is traffic. Bayside Dr and Dalrock are already congested during rush hour. Add a tourist attraction and a hotel? Chiesa Rd improvements can't come fast enough.
tap early tap often cannot be overstated. i tried to tough out a kimura at white belt and my shoulder was messed up for 3 months. not worth it. theres always another roll
This hits different if you've been in DFW for 10+ years.
Pro tip for the hearing: bring a one-page summary with your comparable sales in a table format. Address, sale date, sale price, square footage. The appraiser reviews dozens of cases a day. Make it easy for them and they are more likely to agree.
Last year I parked at the Methodist church lot on Main St and it was perfect. Short walk, easy exit after the fireworks. They even had volunteers directing traffic.
Saving this post. Exactly what I was looking for.
Interesting perspective. I see it differently from the Fort Worth side.

Following this thread. Want to hear more takes.
First-time buyers in Austin need to see this thread.
I'd like to see more transparency on timeline vs actual completion. Several CIP projects have slipped from their original timelines. A public dashboard with green/yellow/red status indicators would help.

bring a BACKUP GI. at my second IBJJF tournament my gi ripped in the second match. if i hadnt had a backup i would have been disqualified. $150 for a backup gi is cheap insurance
The line dancing group on Fridays is lowkey the most fun thing happening in Rowlett. My wife dragged me once and now I go every week. Average age is 65 and they have more energy than I do.
counterpoint: if BJJ is inferior for MMA why do most UFC fights that end in submission end with BJJ techniques? armbars, triangles, RNCs, guillotines — these are all BJJ. wrestling doesnt have finishes
Sharing this with my neighbors. They need to see this.
