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

Jordan is still the GOAT by peak. 6-0 in Finals. LeBron is the GOAT by totality of career. They are both right answers depending on what you value.

India Palace lunch buffet on a Wednesday is my guilty pleasure. 14 items deep. $16 all-in.

Hamilton arriving is either going to elevate Leclerc or destroy him. There is no middle ground when you share a garage with a 7-time champion.

Used CrimeMapping.com when apartment hunting in Addison. Found that one complex I was considering had 14 police calls in the previous month. Hard pass.

Google does remove fake reviews if you report them but it takes weeks. Flagging works better in bulk — get multiple people to flag the same reviews.

Rachio smart sprinkler controller pays for itself in one summer. Auto-skips watering when it rains, follows DFW water restrictions, and my lawn still looks great.

Libraries in DFW are massively underrated for kids. Free story time, STEM programs, summer reading — all free.

If you are in Fort Worth, just go to the TCU game. Ford Stadium at TCU is one of the most underrated game day experiences in DFW. Tailgating on the campus lawns is beautiful.

Year 1 pay cut is brutal but year 3+ is where it flips. I'm in year 4 of my DFW business. $210K revenue, $140K profit, and growing. The freedom is worth the early sacrifice.

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

Uptown is worth it in your mid-20s. You'll walk to everything and meet people. By 28-30 you'll want out though.

Roughing the passer is the worst rule in the NFL. Nobody, including the referees, knows what constitutes roughing anymore. The "body weight" language is impossibly vague.

Uptown is worth it in your mid-20s. You'll walk to everything and meet people. By 28-30 you'll want out though.

Anderson Silva at his peak was more entertaining because the skill gap was absurd. Pereira is more exciting but Silva was an artist.

Anna is the sleeper play for affordability. $320K for a new build, decent schools, and it'll benefit from all the Collin County growth.

Honey butter chicken biscuit after midnight is not optional. It's mandatory.

500X is criminally underappreciated. I went to a show there last month on a Thursday night and there were maybe 12 people. The art was incredible.

The Texas Public Information Act is one of the strongest open records laws in the country. If a government agency won't give you a record, file with the AG.

No love for Tony Romo? His efficiency stats are actually better than Staubach's when adjusted for era.

UTD financial aid office told me directly: "We can't give you any institutional aid without FAFSA on file." Even merit scholarship recipients need it.

My personal time log in Toggl was the evidence that won my DOL complaint. The employer's system conveniently "lost" my hours. My app didn't.

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.

The 145 division is a ghost town. Just end it. Nobody is asking for it. Put those resources into 125 development.

Pump the brakes. It is one season. Anthony Davis was supposed to be the next great big man and injuries derailed his trajectory. Let Wembanyama stay healthy for 5 years and then we can crown him.

The DallasPD crime map is the most useful tool nobody knows about. Type in any address and see exactly what's happened on that block.
