Camp Grady Spruce is a Texas tradition. I went as a kid and now my kids go. Possum Kingdom Lake, canoeing, campfires — exactly what summer should be.

Topuria is the real deal. That Volkanovski KO was not a fluke. Watch how he set up the right hand with body work for three rounds. That is high-level striking.

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

Newey is the most proven winner in F1 outside of drivers. 12 Constructors' Championships. You do not bet against that track record.

Found out my dream house in East Dallas was in Zone AE AFTER we made an offer. Flood insurance quote: $3,200/year. That killed the deal. Check BEFORE you fall in love.

#2 is no joke. I got a $600 NTTA bill my first 3 months because I didn't have a TollTag. That was an expensive lesson.

They hit my apartment complex on Campbell near 75 last Tuesday. Got 3 Priuses in one night. In and out in under 2 minutes per car on camera.

Capital One Returning Talent program is incredible. I took 3 years off for kids, did the program, and came back as a senior analyst at $105K. They invested in getting me up to speed.

Scarborough is the most DFW thing that nobody associates with DFW. A massive Renaissance faire 45 minutes from downtown Dallas. And it's been running for 40+ years.

Adopted my dog from Operation Kindness in Carrollton. They were thorough with the matching process and my dog came fully vetted. Best $125 I've ever spent.

Number 6 is a DALLAS-FORT WORTH epidemic. $800/month truck payment, $1400 rent, $60K salary. The math ain't mathing.

USAA at #1 is correct. I leave at 4:30 every day. Nobody has ever said a word. The mission-driven culture means they value sustainable work, not burnout.

The 2012 Alabama upset with Manziel is still the most electric moment in A&M football history. 77,000 in Bryant-Denny went silent. If you were at Kyle Field watching on the board, you know.

Bowlounge in the Design District is a great date spot. The cocktails are legitimate and the lanes are well-maintained.

The underground mic scene in Dallas is so real. Did a show in a laundromat in East Dallas. Twelve people showed up and it was magic.

Cidercade is the best deal in Dallas entertainment. $12 for unlimited games and you can bring your own drinks. It's not even close.

Oklahoma title washing is a massive problem. Texas needs to require VIN verification on all out-of-state transfers.

Three junior championships in three years. That has basically never happened. The talent is undeniable. He just needs a car that can fight for titles.

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.

If City get relegated, it is the biggest event in English football history. The ripple effects on transfers, league competition, and broadcasting deals would be seismic.

Rotation is visible from my apartment in Arlington. This is not a drill, take shelter.

Tei-An at $39 is the best deal on this list. That restaurant is normally a splurge. Book immediately.

26. Stockyards Championship Rodeo on a Friday night 27. Concerts at The Kessler Theater 28. Float the Brazos River 29. Tour the Dr Pepper Museum (Waco, but close enough) 30. Sundance Square on a Saturday night

The Adobe student deal is insane. Full Creative Cloud for $20/mo when normies pay $55. Just need a .edu email.

Babe's Chicken is a family tradition. The bottomless sides + fried chicken + cream corn keeps everyone happy. $50 feeds a family of 4.

Lee Harvey's outdoor area on a Saturday afternoon is one of the best hangs in Dallas. Cheap beer, big yard, sometimes live music. Perfect.
