The medical office complex on Lakeview is a good sign. More healthcare close to home means fewer trips to Garland or Rockwall for routine stuff. Especially important for the growing senior population.

Important for Houston residents to be aware of this.

We moved back to Rowlett after rebuilding. Our new house has a safe room — reinforced concrete, rated for EF5. It cost $8,000 to add during construction. If you're building or renovating in Rowlett, add a safe room. You will never regret it.

Belal at 5 is correct and i hate it. the man is dominant but i would rather watch paint dry than sit through another 5 round Belal decision. respect the skill, reject the entertainment

The 2016 snapshot makes me emotional. I lost my house in the tornado. I remember standing in what used to be my living room and looking at the sky through where the roof had been. We rebuilt. We're still here. Rowlett is still here.

Paddle Point sunset bench is the real deal. I proposed to my wife there. She said the view was better than the ring. I choose to take that as a compliment.

Local politics affect your daily life more than national. Worth paying attention.

Sapphire Bay is either going to be the best thing to happen to Rowlett or the most overhyped. I am cautiously optimistic. The crystal lagoon concept is wild.

Adding this to my calendar. Thanks for the heads up.

Interesting timing on this. I was just talking about it with my neighbors.

Dr. Morrison in Rockwall did allergy shots for me for 3 years. I went from needing 3 medications to needing nothing. Allergy shots are a commitment but they actually fix the problem instead of masking it.

Lomachenko footwork compilation on youtube is required viewing. the way he creates angles that shouldnt exist by stepping at unusual times is artistry. and it all comes from thousands of hours of dance and footwork training as a kid

The fire trucks at the beginning with sirens and lights — my toddler screamed in excitement so loud the people around us were laughing. It's the purest joy you'll ever see.

Rowlett Animal Shelter is small and understaffed but the people there genuinely care. Go in person if you can. They recognized my dog from a description before I even showed a photo.

This is important for Austin residents to know about.

Real talk right here. No sugarcoating.

The no-wake zones near Waterview marina are poorly marked. I've had boats blasting through at full speed while I'm trying to dock. Be careful in that area, especially on holidays.

The answer changes depending on which part of Dallas-Fort Worth you're in.

This is why I check this community daily. Information saves lives.

I teach in Garland ISD and will say this: the variance between campuses is the real issue. Lakeview Centennial and Naaman Forest are excellent. But funding and staffing are not distributed evenly across the district.

Following. Want to see what others think before I weigh in.

the problem is game theory. if my opponent is cutting to 155 and im walking around at 155 naturally, hes going to be bigger and stronger than me on fight night. so i HAVE to cut too. its a prisoners dilemma that only rule changes can solve

Adding this to the list. My wallet is not going to be happy.

Anyone have specific recommendations? I'm always looking for new spots.

Lakeshore — skip it. We lived there for 6 months and broke the lease. Roach problem that management couldn't get under control despite multiple pest treatments. The "lake view" was a sliver of water between buildings.

The left turn signal timing is the root cause. 4-5 cars on a green arrow when 15 are waiting. Of course people run the red. Fix the signal timing and you fix half the accidents.
