Born and raised in Oak Cliff. Know this city inside and out.
Carfax is not perfect but its a good first screen. Also check for water lines under the dashboard and in the trunk.
As a neutral, I hope the rules are enforced fairly. If Everton gets docked points for a minor breach and City walks free from 115 charges, the system is a joke.
Power just went out in Benbrook. Hail is insane right now, baseball sized.
SPCA of Texas is the gold standard. Their facility is clean, staff is knowledgeable, and the adoption process is smooth.
We're at 28/50 after 2 years. The hot air balloon over McKinney was a highlight — highly recommend.
Lightweight is by far the best division to follow right now. Makhachev, Tsarukyan, Oliveira, Poirier, Gaethje. Absolute murders row.
Parkland pharmacy prices are insanely cheap even at full price. My prescription that costs $180 at CVS is $35 at Parkland.
Town Hearth is worth every penny even at full price. At $55 it's a no-brainer.
Lakewood Landing is so cash-only that I think the bartender is personally offended by credit cards. Love it.
Some DFW Costco locations give student membership trials. Ask at the membership desk.
Saka deserves more recognition globally. He is the engine of an Arsenal team challenging for the title. Without him, Arsenal are not in the conversation.
Mercedes bouncing back is inevitable. They have the budget, the facilities, and the engineering talent. The 2022-2024 slump was an anomaly, not the new normal.
Summer Moon's Moon Milk should be illegal. I'm there every morning and I'm not sorry about it.
Norma's Cafe kids eat free nights are a cheat code for parents. $10 for your meal and kids are free.
Villa sustaining top 4 is the real test. Any club can have one great season. Can they do it 3 years running? That is what separates a project from a flash in the pan.
Kroger digital coupons are a scam to make you think you're getting a deal on already inflated prices. Change my mind.
Day 2 picks are where this draft class will be won or lost.
A basic estate planning package from an attorney is $200-500 and covers POA, medical POA, directive to physicians, and a will. Best $300 I ever spent.
Construction on 35 has been happening since before I was born and will continue after I die. It is eternal. It is forever.
As a lifelong fan... I think you're right and I hate it.
I-35E through Oak Cliff is brutal. The Zang Blvd detour works but adds 10 minutes and way more traffic lights.
TDLR license lookup is free: tdlr.texas.gov. Takes 30 seconds. If they cant give you a license number, walk away.
Mandalay Canal Walk in Irving is so random but genuinely nice. The gondola ride is cheesy but fun for a date.
The lack of attention Usyk gets compared to his achievements is criminal. If he were American or British, he would be the biggest star in boxing.
My unpopular opinion: DFW doesn't need mountains or beaches. The lake culture is actually great. Possum Kingdom, Texoma, Eagle Mountain — we do lakes well.
