Born and raised in Oak Cliff. Know this city inside and out.
As a viewer, I watch every Thursday game because it is football and I am an addict. But even I admit the product is noticeably worse. More sloppy play, more blowouts.
If you live in a newer subdivision built after 2020, you almost certainly have fiber access. Builders include it now because home buyers demand it.
DFW Smash community is active and welcoming. Weekly locals at various venues. If you play Smash competitively, there's a scene here.
Got denied initially because my employer claimed I quit. I appealed within 14 days, had emails showing I was laid off, and the denial was overturned at the hearing.
Flower Child in Preston Hollow is consistently excellent. The organic greens bowl with salmon is my go-to.
The multilingual thing is not a small point. The UFC has been trying to crack European and Central Asian markets for years. Topuria is their golden ticket.
Family of 4 "comfortable" at $152K combined — that sounds right. DFW is affordable compared to coasts but it's not cheap for families.
AMC A-List is worth it if you see movies opening weekend. Reserved seating, IMAX, Dolby — all included.
Hamilton arriving is either going to elevate Leclerc or destroy him. There is no middle ground when you share a garage with a 7-time champion.
AirTag in the car is cheap insurance. Friend's stolen Kia was recovered in 4 hours because of an AirTag under the back seat.
The VIN engraving events at DPD substations are great. Free, takes 10 minutes. They also do free bike registration.
DFW Airport rideshare pickup is well-organized now. But Love Field is still a bit of a mess. Use the designated area on the lower level.
She finished Jessica Andrade in the second round. Andrade was a former champion at 115. That is a legitimate win against a real fighter.
The "community technology package" is the biggest scam. $75/month for what? Wifi in the lobby? I already pay for my own internet.
Dashcam saved me in a road rage situation last year. Everyone should have one. Viofo A129 is $100 on Amazon.
This is a classic casing technique. They ask about schedules and routines to plan break-ins. Never share that information with strangers.
TDLR license lookup is free: tdlr.texas.gov. Takes 30 seconds. If they cant give you a license number, walk away.
Greenville Ave is completely shut down from Ross to Mockingbird basically. Take Henderson.
Cidercade is $12 for UNLIMITED arcade games and you bring your own beer. Best entertainment deal in DFW.
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.
Murray Street before 9 AM on a weekday is great for work. After that it gets Deep Ellum loud.
Lived in Flower Mound for 8 years. Left my garage open overnight multiple times by accident. Nothing happened. Try that in East Dallas.
Adding to the list: a portable power station. I got a Jackery 500 after the 2023 ice storm. Powers phones, lights, and a small fan for 2 days.
As a casual fan, I had no idea how the tournament worked until the semifinals. The format needs to be simpler. Group stages, tiebreakers, wild cards -- it is too complicated.
The AG child support calculator is useful but doesn't account for everything. Medical insurance, daycare costs, and special needs expenses are calculated separately.
