Born and raised in Oak Cliff. Know this city inside and out.
The promotional split problem cost us 3-4 years of Crawford vs. Spence. By the time they fought, Spence was past his best. We deserved that fight in 2020, not 2023.
Facebook Marketplace car scams in DFW are out of control. If someone won't FaceTime with the car running, walk away.
The plays Mahomes makes that are not in the stat sheet -- the no-look passes, the behind-the-back flips, the plays where he is falling down and still throws a strike. Nobody has ever done that.
Microchipping saved my neighbor's cat after the derecho in 2023. Cat was found 8 miles away, scanned at a shelter, and returned home.
CityDoc on Greenville Ave is my go-to for urgent care. In and out in 45 minutes with a prescription. $35 copay with my insurance.
I hire a tax consultant for my $650K home in Frisco. They charge 40% of first-year savings. Last year they got a $45K reduction, saving me $1,100/year. Their fee was $440. Net positive.
Kyle Field on a Saturday night is one of the best atmospheres in all of sports. 102,000 people doing the war hymn after a 4th quarter comeback is otherworldly.
Lula B's in Oak Cliff is amazing for furniture. Furnished half my apartment there for under $500.
This list is survival guide material. Bookmarked. The Hong Kong Market food court tip alone saves $20 a week.
Replacement for my Prius converter was $2,800 at the dealer. Insurance covered it minus the $500 deductible. Still a pain.
Norma's Cafe kids eat free nights are a cheat code for parents. $10 for your meal and kids are free.
Basketball Reference: Luka's PER is historically elite for his age. Top 15 all-time pace.
Cedar Ridge Preserve is the closest thing to trail running in DFW. Actual hills! Actual rocks! After months of flat pavement, it feels like you're in another state.
Eno's Bishop Arts location has the best vibe of any pizza spot in DFW. Patio + cold beer + wood-fired pizza.
The VIP signup hack at Allen is real. I got 25% off my entire purchase during my birthday month. Saved $80.
Fake paper plates are a huge problem. I see 5-10 a day on 635. Zero accountability because the car can't be traced.
Returners matter again. Teams are actually investing in return specialists now instead of telling their gunner to kick it out of the end zone. The position has value.
Arbor Hills in Plano is our weekend go-to. The observation tower hike is short enough for little legs but adventurous enough to feel like a real hike.
The "tell someone where you're going" advice applies to everyone. A simple text to a friend with the venue name takes 5 seconds.
"Please learn to merge" should be on the DFW welcome sign instead of whatever they have now.
Klyde Warren Park free Saturday yoga at 9am is the best free fitness offering in Dallas. Show up, no registration, just a mat and willingness.
I-35 through downtown Dallas between 4-6 PM is unhinged. The merge at the 35/30 interchange generates genuine rage daily.
Facebook Marketplace car scams in DFW are out of control. If someone won't FaceTime with the car running, walk away.
FAFSA by January is critical. Texas aid runs out. I filed in March one year and got $4,000 less than the year I filed in December.
Year 2 is the real test. Klopp built relationships with these players over years. Slot is running on goodwill and novelty. When results dip, that is when we will see if the dressing room is with him.
