Texas pride. I've never lived anywhere where people fly the state flag more than the US flag. And they're not being ironic about it.

It depends where you came from. My friends in California still pay double what I pay for everything. Texas is expensive compared to 2019 Texas, but cheap compared to a lot of other places.

The bathroom thing alone justifies its existence. After driving 3 hours on a Texas highway I would pay $5 just for a clean bathroom. The food is a bonus.

Check your city and county job boards directly. Government jobs don't always post on Indeed. The benefits package is usually better than private sector even if the pay is slightly lower.

The sidewalk thing is real. I live in Liberty Grove and my kids cannot ride bikes to their friend's house two streets over because there is no sidewalk and the road has no shoulder. We drive them. In Waterview everything is connected.

Hill Country in the spring is unbeatable. Fredericksburg for wineries, Enchanted Rock for hiking, and the wildflowers on the roadside are insane in April.

Our summer water bill last year was $230 and we don't even have a pool. It's the irrigation. I'm seriously considering converting the front yard to xeriscaping.

Paper plates = no insurance and possibly no registration. And they drive like it because they know they can't be traced. Biggest problem on Texas roads right now.

Got dashcam footage that could fill a YouTube channel. Front and rear cameras are mandatory equipment in this state as far as I'm concerned.

I went to the city council meeting in February. The developer seemed confident but the timeline has slipped at least three times now. The council asked tough questions which I appreciated.

This hits different if you've been in DFW for 10+ years.

Port Aransas for a cheap beach trip. Not the prettiest beach in the world but the vibe is chill, the fishing is good, and hotels are way cheaper than Galveston.

If the spot doesn't have a line of construction workers at 6am it's probably not that good. That's my filter.

Tex-Mex is not Mexican food and nobody who grew up eating both would confuse them. Both are good. They're just different cuisines at this point.

I stop every time I see one and I'm not sorry. The kolaches are solid, the bathrooms are spotless, and the beaver nuggets are crack.

Does anyone know if there's an update on this? Asking for my neighborhood.

The merge thing is the real danger. Who taught people to merge at 40mph onto a 75mph highway? That's how accidents happen.

$200/month HOA and they can't even maintain the common areas? Request a financial audit. You're entitled to see where that money goes.

wrestling is the best martial art for conditioning but you are correct that adult programs barely exist. the workaround is finding an MMA gym that has wrestling classes. several DFW MMA gyms offer wrestling as part of their curriculum and adults are welcome

Tell me you ordered a number 1 plain and think that's the whole menu. Customize your order. Whataburger customization is the whole point.

Palo Duro Canyon in the panhandle is basically a mini Grand Canyon and nobody talks about it. The drive up there is flat and boring but the canyon itself is stunning.

Brace for the first time someone invites you to a backyard BBQ and it turns into a 7 hour event with 40 people you've never met.

It's both. It's a tourist trap AND it's good. Those things can coexist. The prices are high but the quality is real.

Chick-fil-A is the gold standard and I'm tired of people trying to find something better. It's sweet tea. They perfected it. Move on.

The weather changing 40 degrees in one day. I've worn shorts and a jacket in the same 12 hour period. Multiple times.
