This is what happens when private equity buys up commercial real estate. Independent restaurants can't compete with national chains for lease terms.

Browns fan in Dallas here. We moved from Cleveland for a reason. I still watch every Sunday at 12 PM and I still hate myself for it.

The 2am Whataburger run transcends alcohol. Sober or not, that Honey Butter Chicken Biscuit hits the same.

Can someone from the north side weigh in? Curious if it's the same up there.

QT at Town East is consistently the cheapest non-membership gas in east Dallas/Mesquite. Can confirm.

Moving the line back would help but it would also make Steph Curry even more dominant. He already shoots from 30 feet. Adding 2 feet to the line just eliminates everyone who is not elite from range.

I'd argue the first responders on December 26, 2015 are the most famous Rowlett people, even if nobody knows their names. What they did that night — pulling people from rubble in the dark, in the rain, for hours — is the definition of heroism.

Interesting perspective. I see it differently from the Fort Worth side.

Scarborough Faire is peak Texas weirdness and I love every second of it. Turkey legs, jousting, and people in full Renaissance costume in 95-degree heat.

As a DFW native, that TCU season unified the entire metroplex. Cowboys fans, Aggies, Longhorns -- everyone was rooting for TCU. Fort Worth was electric.

The $96 monthly pass vs. $200+ in gas and $150+ in downtown parking makes the math work. You just have to accept the 15-min wait times.

TDLR complaint against a tow company in Arlington resulted in a $5,000 fine against them. They had 47 prior complaints.

Lakewood Landing is so cash-only that I think the bartender is personally offended by credit cards. Love it.

those Smoothcomp events at various DFW gyms are great for getting your feet wet. way less intimidating than walking into a NAGA or IBJJF as your first comp

Dirk is untouchable at #1. 21 seasons, one team, one championship that everyone said was impossible.

Fought a red light camera ticket in Irving by requesting calibration records. The camera hadn't been calibrated in 18 months (required annually). Case dismissed.

The 3-day cancellation right is absolute. Signed up for a CrossFit box, realized it was too expensive, cancelled within 2 days. They tried to push back. Cited 702.303. Done.

Truck Yard on a Thursday night is my move. Live music, good food trucks, casual vibe.

Rowlett's lake advantage is underrated. When Sapphire Bay opens, we'll have something no other DFW suburb can offer. Frisco has corporate campuses. We'll have a crystal lagoon and a lakefront amphitheater.

Buzzbrews at 3 AM is where every Deep Ellum night ends up. The pancakes are solid and the people-watching is unmatched.

Luke's Locker Run Club is the best free running community in DFW. Show up Wednesday evenings, run 3-5 miles with a group, no commitment.

The Cane's coleslaw-to-toast swap is mandatory. Nobody actually eats the coleslaw.

I hire a tax consultant for my $650K home in Frisco. They charge 40% of first-year savings. Last year they got a $45K reduction, saving me $1,100/year. Their fee was $440. Net positive.

the representation thing matters more than people think. seeing a female purple belt or brown belt on the mat shows you that progression is possible. at my first gym there were zero women above blue belt and it felt like there was a ceiling

Go on Sunday afternoon if possible. Saturday evening is the most crowded time. Sunday afternoon has shorter lines and the same food.

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