Been thinking about this all week. Good to see it getting traction here.

Kroger digital coupons are a scam to make you think you're getting a deal on already inflated prices. Change my mind.

Went for a birthday. Omakase was transcendent. Not an everyday spot but for a special occasion it's unmatched in DFW.

Levitt Pavilion in Arlington does free concerts AND movies. One of the best free entertainment venues in mid-cities.

The business impact is the real legacy. The UFC went from a $2B company to a $12B+ company largely because of him. Source: Endeavor financial filings.

Door-to-door charity solicitation in DFW is almost always a scam. Legitimate charities don't send randos to your door.

The DMA being free every day is honestly the most underrated thing about Dallas.

The Nasher garden on a quiet Wednesday afternoon is my therapy. $10 is a bargain for what that place does for my mental health.

Keep your repair orders organized chronologically. The TxDMV examiner will want to see the pattern clearly.

Call Spectrum every year when your promo expires and say you want to cancel. They'll offer you a new promo rate 9 times out of 10.

Title Boxing Club is great for fitness. If you want to learn actual boxing technique, find a traditional boxing gym instead. Different goals, different gyms.

The free lead test from Dallas Water Utilities is worth doing if you're in an older home. Took 2 weeks to get results. Thankfully came back clean.

Mexican Sugar in Plano is the suburban happy hour king. $5 tacos are legit — not tiny either.

6 points

Scat Jazz Lounge in Fort Worth is an experience. Underground, intimate, real jazz. It feels like you stepped into 1950s New York.

27 points

Section 200 Korean chicken is the sleeper pick.

HVAC in Texas is job security for life. It's 105 degrees 3 months of the year. AC will never not be needed.

8 points

Spartan Race in DFW is a great goal for anyone who's been lifting and running but wants a new challenge. Train for 3 months, do the Sprint (5K). You'll be hooked.

17 points

The tournament for the number 1 pick is the most entertaining solution. Imagine the bottom 8 teams in a win-or-go-home March Madness style bracket for the right to draft first. The ratings would be insane.

Richardson at $390K median is probably the best value in DFW right now. DART access, diverse food scene, good schools, and cheaper than Plano/Frisco.

20 points

The Knot and WeddingWire reviews can be gamed. Cross-reference with Google reviews. If they have 5 stars on The Knot and 3 stars on Google, the Google reviews are more honest.

5 points

That debut season record of 36 goals will stand for a long time. It took 30 years to break the previous record and Haaland shattered it by 2.

14 points

TDLR complaint process is straightforward and they actually investigate. Filed against an unlicensed contractor, TDLR referred it to the AG for enforcement.

You know multiple routes to everywhere because WHICH highway is backed up determines your entire day.

The ratings prove it. Play-in games draw more viewers than first-round games. Single-game elimination with star players is compelling television.

Defensive driving course is 6 hours online for $25 and saves 10% for 3 YEARS. Do the math. Source: texasdefensivedriving.com

DFW startup scene is growing but still behind Austin. If you want startup energy, Austin has the edge. If you want stable big-company tech, DFW wins.
