Did DFW to Austin for 14 months. The drive gets old by month 3. Southwest flights are the way if you can swing it — 55 min vs 3.5 hours. We made it work and closed the gap when my lease ended.

Got hostage-loaded by a company I found on Yelp. Quoted $1,200, demanded $3,800 with my furniture on the truck. Called the police, they intervened, mover backed down to $1,500.

Carrollton with DART rail is the smartest budget play in DFW. $1,200 rent, 35 min to downtown, Asian food corridor nearby.

Times Ten Cellars wine tastings are low-key the best 40+ social scene in Dallas. Thursday nights especially.

My employer in Fort Worth was a non-subscriber. Got hurt on a warehouse floor. Attorney took the case on contingency. Settled for $85,000 — far more than workers' comp would have paid.

Jackie Smith. Super Bowl. A catch that any other tight end makes and the Cowboys win their 3rd straight. That one haunts me.

Anyone who wants to trade Luka hasn't watched basketball since 2019.

Tsarukyan won that fight on the feet. The takedowns saved Makhachev. Not hating, just stating facts from the UFC Stats numbers.

Modano is the undisputed GOAT Star. What he did for hockey in Texas can't be measured in stats alone.

Highway accessibility. For all the traffic complaints, the actual highway SYSTEM in DFW is comprehensive. You can get from any point to any other point on a highway. Try that in Austin or Houston.

Mister Car Wash unlimited membership is the best $25/month I spend. I go 3-4 times a month during pollen season.

Klyde Warren Park movie nights are peak Dallas summer vibes. Blanket on the grass, food truck dinner, movie under the skyline. And it's free.

The 2023 season was historically great for Verstappen but terrible for F1 as entertainment. 19 wins out of 22 is not a sport, it is an exhibition.

Offensive line is THE need. You can't protect a $52M QB with a bottom-third line.

Protested my Dallas County appraisal for 3 years straight. Won every time. Average reduction: $22K in appraised value. That's ~$480/year in savings.

Watch Lawler vs. MacDonald 2 first. If that fight does not hook you, nothing will. It is the most intense 25 minutes in UFC history.

Leclerc in a Mercedes or Red Bull already has at least one championship. Ferrari has wasted the prime years of a generational talent.

Wish I had this list before signing at my last complex near Loop 12. Gate was broken for 4 of 12 months on my lease. Three car break-ins in the parking garage.

The Eye downtown is one of the weirdest and best pieces of public art in America. Tourists love it, locals forget it exists.

Saravanaa Bhavan dosa is the correct answer. That masala dosa is bigger than some tables and it costs $12.

Proposed at the Dallas Arboretum during Dallas Blooms. 10/10 recommend. The photos were incredible.

Cook Children's network is why we chose Fort Worth over Dallas. Having that hospital system behind your pediatrician is invaluable.

40,000 career points will never be broken. Nobody in the current NBA is on pace to even approach it. That record is permanent.

UPS is non-negotiable for WFH in DFW. We get brief power blips during storms that kill unsaved work. $120 for an APC UPS saved me from losing an entire presentation.

Jimmy Johnson built that dynasty from scratch. Landry is the icon but Jimmy's 4-year run is the most impressive coaching stretch in Cowboys history.

The self-employment tax is the thing nobody talks about. 15.3% on TOP of income tax. That $53K profit is really $37K after SE tax and income tax. Corporate salary with benefits starts looking real good.
