Small business owners in DFW are getting burned by fake influencers demanding free products and services. Here's the playbook and how to protect yourself.
Every city has those spots that have been open for 20-30+ years. No rebranding, no Instagram presence, same menu since the Reagan administration. And somehow they're still packed every weekend.
I've been applying for weeks. All the Indeed postings are either scams, ghost listings that have been up for 6 months, or they want 5 years of experience for $18/hour. I don't have a degree.
Been going to local Valorant tournaments at various venues around DFW and the scene is way bigger than I thought.
Interest rates are still elevated. Prices haven't really come down. Insurance costs are through the roof — literally, because of all the hail and storm claims. But rent keeps going up too.
I've driven in a lot of states. Texas is on another level. Nobody uses turn signals. Everybody tailgates. Pickup trucks doing 90 in the right lane.
Sometimes you need to sing "Don't Stop Believin'" at full volume to strangers. DFW has you covered. Open mic karaoke: - Round-Up Saloon (Cedar Springs) — legendary karaoke nights.
If you're new to DFW, the toll system will confuse and bankrupt you if you're not careful. Here's everything you need to know. How NTTA tolls work: - TollTag = electronic transponder. Cheapest rates.
Every film discussion eventually circles back to this debate. Here is the definitive ranking with reasoning.
Looking for a new apartment or maybe renting a house. Budget is around $1,200-1,400 for a 1BR or small 2BR. I know that's tight. I'm not expecting luxury.
I know HEB is the correct answer on the internet. But I want to know what people actually do week to week. I end up at Kroger because it's closest to me.
BBQ is supposed to be fun. Community. Gathering around a pit with a beer and eating good food.
I need extra income. Not passive income guru stuff. Not dropshipping. Not "invest in real estate with no money down." Real things that real people are doing to make extra money.
Anthropic released Claude 4 Opus last month and OpenAI followed with GPT-5 two weeks later.
Got a letter from my HOA. Violation: "trash receptacle visible from the street." My trash can was next to my garage. Not in the yard. Not on the sidewalk. NEXT TO MY GARAGE on the side of my house.
Sometimes you need a spot that works for 4-8 people without needing a reservation 3 weeks out. Active/fun: - Cidercade (Deep Ellum) — $12/person unlimited arcade games. BYOB.
Interest rates are still elevated. Prices haven't really come down. Insurance costs are through the roof — literally, because of all the hail and storm claims. But rent keeps going up too.
Just got back from a week in Mexico City. The food was unbelievable. Came home and went to my usual Tex-Mex spot and it hit different. Not bad, just... different. Tex-Mex is its own thing.
The best comics of the last decade are not published by Marvel or DC. The indie scene is stacked and here are the books you should be reading. Image Comics (the powerhouse): - Saga by Brian K.

Hot take but I genuinely believe this. A B-tier band at The Kessler is a better night than an A-tier band at American Airlines Center. Here's my venue ranking after years of going out in this city.
I need a solid breakfast taco spot. Not a sit-down brunch place charging $16 for two tacos on a fancy plate.
AC has been out for 4 days. It's over 100 degrees outside and my apartment is hitting 90+ inside. I've called maintenance three times.
