Born and raised in Oak Cliff. Know this city inside and out.
Carfax is not perfect but its a good first screen. Also check for water lines under the dashboard and in the trunk.
Plano Animal Services said they wont trap or relocate them. The solution is hazing — making noise, throwing things, making them afraid of humans.
Allen having one high school with 6,000 students is wild but the facilities are insane. $60M stadium.
The DFW contract market is robust. Got a 6-month contract at $85/hour through TEKsystems within 3 weeks of my layoff. That's $170K annualized. Ended up going permanent there.
Bishop Arts is gentrifying so fast the character that made it special is slowly disappearing. Get there while it still feels like itself.
Bruno Guimaraes is the best midfielder outside Manchester City. Newcastle need to build around him or risk losing him to a club with Champions League consistency.
Legacy Fight Club Muay Thai program is underrated. The instructors have actual fight experience. Not just pad-holding fitness coaches.
I switched to running from my house to White Rock instead of driving. Problem solved, plus extra miles.
Red Cross volunteer here. We are accepting donations at the rec center until 8 PM tonight.
Adding: The Family Place also serves male victims. It's not women-only. If you're a man experiencing DV, call them.
Canada 2011 is the most rewatchable race on this list. Jenson Button from last to first over 4 hours. It is an entire movie in one race.
A basic estate planning package from an attorney is $200-500 and covers POA, medical POA, directive to physicians, and a will. Best $300 I ever spent.
High-yield savings at 4%+ is real right now. If your emergency fund is sitting in a Chase savings account at 0.01%, you're losing hundreds per year.
A restaurant in Deep Ellum had a 92 on display at the door. Looked them up — that was from 2023. Their most recent score was 71. The displayed score is not always current.
Fury lost because he tried to box Usyk instead of using his size. If he had pressed the weight advantage and made it a physical fight from round 1, the outcome could have been different.
Malai Kitchen cocktails are underrated. The lemongrass gimlet is my desert island drink.
Ruthie's grilled cheese truck at Klyde Warren Park is my lunch go-to when I work downtown. The tomato soup add-on is mandatory.
No Ethiopian? Desta on Greenville Ave deserves a mention. Injera and kitfo for $14.
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.
Katy Trail Ice House after a walk on the trail is peak DFW dog ownership. Big patio, cold beer, tired dog.
GGG won the first fight. The draw was a robbery. I will never let this go. Canelo's 160-pound legacy is tainted.
Seoul Garden AYCE Korean BBQ for $22 is insane. In Koreatown (Carrollton) AYCE is $30+. Quality is just as good here.
SPCA low-cost clinic for vaccinations saves a fortune. Full round of puppy shots for $40 vs $200+ at a regular vet.
Real estate photography in DFW is booming. Agents need photos for every listing. $200/shoot, 3 shoots on a Saturday = $600. All you need is a camera and a wide-angle lens.
Sports teams. Cowboys, Mavericks, Rangers, Stars, FC Dallas, Wings. Six major pro teams plus TCU, SMU, and UNT. Name another metro with that depth.
