Born and raised in Oak Cliff. Know this city inside and out.
Greenville Ave is completely shut down from Ross to Mockingbird basically. Take Henderson.
Texas and A&M spending $10M+ per year on NIL while UNT spends under $1M. That is not competition. That is a different sport entirely.
Door-to-door charity solicitation in DFW is almost always a scam. Legitimate charities don't send randos to your door.
I was at Parks Mall around that time. Didnt see anything but checking my dashcam now.
Common Desk in Deep Ellum is my remote office. $250/month for a dedicated desk, fast wifi, and human interaction. Worth every penny for mental health.
Kwik Kar on any major road will have you in and out in 15 minutes for inspection. $7 state fee. Don't let shops charge you more than that for the inspection itself.
Mi Cocina mambo taxis are $14 now. FOURTEEN DOLLARS for a frozen margarita. This city is losing its mind.
Jokic looking unathletic while being the most dominant player in basketball is my favorite thing in sports. He proves that skill, IQ, and vision can beat raw athleticism.
Dallas Arboretum Cool Thursdays is technically $15 but you get full garden access + concert. Bring a picnic, a bottle of wine, and watch the sunset. Worth it.
Oak Cliff Library is open as a cooling center too. They have water and snacks for evacuees.
Went for a birthday. Omakase was transcendent. Not an everyday spot but for a special occasion it's unmatched in DFW.
Silva vs. GSP at a catchweight of 178 would have been the biggest fight in UFC history. Two GOATs. It makes me angry it never happened.
DWU said on Nextdoor that boil water notice may be issued for this area. Fill up containers now just in case.
HypeAuditor flagged a DFW "lifestyle influencer" we were about to work with. 62% fake followers. Saved us $2,000 in product.
Toyota "continuous improvement" questions: have 3 stories ready about how you improved a process. They live and breathe kaizen.
Grapevine being the "Christmas Capital of Texas" is not an exaggeration. The entire town transforms. North Pole Express train is amazing for kids.
Adding: The Family Place also serves male victims. It's not women-only. If you're a man experiencing DV, call them.
Richardson near UTD/CityLine might be the sweet spot. Still suburban-ish but DART connected and growing fast with restaurants and nightlife.
Buzzbrews at 3 AM is where every Deep Ellum night ends up. The pancakes are solid and the people-watching is unmatched.
If you're 65+, the school tax FREEZE is incredible. Your school taxes are locked at whatever they were when you turned 65. Doesn't matter if your home value triples.
The Cane's coleslaw-to-toast swap is mandatory. Nobody actually eats the coleslaw.
Day 2 picks are where this draft class will be won or lost.
High-yield savings at 4%+ is real right now. If your emergency fund is sitting in a Chase savings account at 0.01%, you're losing hundreds per year.
DWU said on Nextdoor that boil water notice may be issued for this area. Fill up containers now just in case.
As a fan of a non-blue-blood Texas school: expansion is the only reason my team has any hope of ever making the playoff. Before expansion, it was literally 4 teams from 3 conferences.
