Your wallet will thank me. DFW deals, discounts, and hacks.
The $530/month savings in Fort Worth is $6,360/year. That's a vacation. Or a car payment. Real money.
AMC A-List paid for itself the first month. I genuinely don't understand why anyone buys individual tickets anymore.
Design District brewery crawl on a Saturday afternoon — Peticolas to Community to Noble Rey. All within walking distance. Perfect day.
Brady has 7 rings. Call me when Mahomes has 7. Until then, Brady is the GOAT and it is not close.
The NFLPA should negotiate Thursday game restrictions into the next CBA. If the players organized around this single issue, the NFL would have to compromise.
Their October horror lineup last year was legitimately better programmed than most film festivals. And tickets are like $10-12.
The hail damage acceptance is peak DFW energy. "Oh that? Yeah, last spring. It's cosmetic. I'm not fixing it."
"It's a dry heat" — whoever said this about DFW has never been here. It's 100 degrees with 60% humidity. Your clothes are wet before you leave the house.
Southlake is amazing for families but the pressure cooker culture at Carroll ISD is intense. Every kid is in 3 activities and parents are competitive.
Demetrious Johnson having 11 defenses with almost zero recognition compared to Conor shows the sport values spectacle over substance.
Our HOA in Allen tried to pass a special assessment of $2,000/home without proper notice. Three homeowners filed with the Texas AG. Assessment was rescinded.
Pro tip: go on a weekday morning. Same barbacoa, no line. I go Tuesdays before work.
You should add Winco to this comparison if one opens near you. They're even cheaper than Aldi on bulk items.
Frontiers of Flight is so slept on. My kid and I spent 3 hours there. The Apollo capsule is surreal — you can see the burn marks from reentry.
CBD Provisions HH is the best-kept secret downtown. Joule Hotel vibes, $7 small plates. Feels expensive, isn't.
The trades labor shortage is real. I own a plumbing company and cannot find enough workers. Starting journeymen at $60K with full benefits.
Tanking exists because one player can transform a franchise in the NBA more than any other sport. In the NFL, a number 1 pick does not guarantee anything. In the NBA, LeBron, Duncan, and Shaq prove that one player is worth losing for.
The hail damage acceptance is peak DFW energy. "Oh that? Yeah, last spring. It's cosmetic. I'm not fixing it."
The fairness concern is legitimate. A 48-win team losing a single game and going home while a 38-win team advances is structurally questionable. But the entertainment value wins.
The movement is what people who do not watch City regularly miss. He is not standing around waiting for service. He is making runs that create space for everyone else.
Generator safety: NEVER run it in a garage, even with the door open. Carbon monoxide kills. Run it outside, 20+ feet from any window.
Summer heat deserves its own post. My first July here I thought my car was going to melt. 108 degrees and the steering wheel is lava.
I work at a property management company. When we get a JP court citation for security deposits, we settle 90% of the time. The 3x penalty makes it not worth fighting.
Abraham Alexander's "SEA/SONS" is genuinely beautiful. Thank you for putting him on my radar.
Tarrant County makes it easy. Search by restaurant name or address. Reports go back multiple years so you can see trends.
Managerial stability is the real issue. No amount of spending works if you change the manager every 12 months. The squad needs continuity to develop chemistry.
