I am a UNT grad in Dallas and I have been saying this for years. 47,000 students and we cannot fill a 30,000-seat stadium. The commuter school culture has to change.

The 90-day rule for out-of-state transfers is real. Got pulled over at 4 months with my California plates and got a $200 ticket. Don't procrastinate.

Joe T Garcia's patio on a spring evening is one of the best dining experiences in all of Texas. The food is secondary to the vibe and that's okay.

Free street parking after 6 PM is the cheat code. Everyone pays $20-40 in the garages and I park for free 2 blocks away.

Deep Ellum Art Walk on First Fridays is one of the best free things in Dallas. The energy on those nights is electric.

Intrinsic Smokehouse is a genuine hidden gem. BBQ + their own craft beer. The smoked turkey and a pint for $15 is one of the best deals in DFW.

Started a Watch group in our Lake Highlands block 2 years ago. 12 houses participate. We've had zero incidents since, compared to 4 break-ins the year before.

Whataburger at 2 AM after a night in Deep Ellum is a SPIRITUAL EXPERIENCE that In-N-Out will never understand because they are ASLEEP.

The "see a doctor within 72 hours" rule is everything. I waited a week after a rear-end on 635. Insurance tried to argue my neck injury was pre-existing. If I had gone to the ER the day of, that argument dies.

DPD knocked on my door in Lakewood asking for Ring footage after a car break-in on my block. I shared voluntarily. They were professional about it and it was clearly a request, not a demand.

The flight benefits are worth $10K+/year if you actually use them. I flew to Tokyo in business class for $180 in taxes. The same ticket retail was $4,800.

Dollar Tree pregnancy tests are literally FDA approved and identical to the $15 ones at CVS. This is the ultimate life hack.

Capital One Returning Talent program is incredible. I took 3 years off for kids, did the program, and came back as a senior analyst at $105K. They invested in getting me up to speed.

Katy Trail at 7am with a dog is the best way to start a morning in Dallas. The foot traffic picks up after 9am though.

November Project DFW is the best free fitness community in the city. Show up at 6:15am, workout with 30-50 people, high fives, hugs, done. No payment, no judgment.

Arsenal in Adidas will never miss. The red with white sleeves is the most iconic look in English football. It has been perfect since the 1930s.

Happiest Hour during playoffs is ELECTRIC. Better energy than some actual games.

Frankie's on game day is an experience. Standing room only by kickoff. Get there early.

I was at the Fiesta Bowl. 51-45 against Michigan. That is one of the top 5 college football games I have ever watched. The atmosphere in Glendale was insane.

SpotHero for AAC events has saved me hundreds. I pre-book a $10 spot while people are paying $30+ to park closer.

CityLine in Richardson is the best value rental in DFW. DART station, walkable food court, and $1,300 for a 1BR. My Uptown friends pay $800 more for the same size unit.

Monarch at The National is the best view in all of DFW. 49 floors up, you can see the entire skyline. It's expensive but it's a special occasion spot.

Newey is the most proven winner in F1 outside of drivers. 12 Constructors' Championships. You do not bet against that track record.

Lake Highlands is the answer. Good schools, 15 min to Uptown/Deep Ellum, homes in your budget, still feels like Dallas. We did exactly this 2 years ago and both love it.

Urban Crust rooftop in Plano is genuinely one of the best dining experiences in DFW. Pizza + skyline view.
