Shared this with my neighborhood group. People need to be aware.

Community Park on Chiesa is our go-to. The splash pad in June is a lifesaver when it is 105 outside and your kids are losing their minds.

Living in Dallas-Fort Worth gives you a different lens on this. Appreciate the thread.

The walkability to the DART station and Main St is the selling point here. You could live in this house without a car if you work somewhere on the DART line.

Shared this with my neighborhood group chat. People need to know.

USA Boxing registration is worth it even if you dont plan to compete. it gives you access to the sanctioned amateur events as a spectator and connects you with the local boxing community

This is exactly the kind of conversation I come here for. Real local takes.

I've been waiting for someone to bring this up. Here we go.

We're at Schrade and overall happy. The class sizes are a bit larger than I'd like — 24 kids in my daughter's 2nd grade class. But the teachers are dedicated and the school communicates well.

Another reason to pay attention to what's happening locally.

smaller gym = more rolling time is the most underrated advantage. at my old gym i would wait 5 minutes between rounds because there werent enough partners. at Peak Performance i roll the entire sparring session

Does anyone know if there's an update on this? Asking for my neighborhood.

Springfield Park boat ramp on Memorial Day weekend is chaos. If you want to launch a boat on a holiday weekend, get there by 6 AM or do not bother. The lot fills and there is no overflow.

Pre-tax transit benefits through my employer bring the monthly pass down to about $70/month. Compare that to $150/month in gas plus $200/month downtown parking. Math is easy.

A brewery downtown is exactly what Main Street needs. Somewhere you can walk to from the neighborhoods, sit outside, have a beer. It would give downtown an anchor. Every good small town downtown in Texas has a brewery now.

New to Rowlett — is the school assignment based strictly on address? Can you transfer between the two? Our home is zoned for Lakeview but we're interested in Rowlett HS for the theater program.

The 988 lifeline is not just for suicidal thoughts — you can call for any mental health crisis. They helped me through a panic attack at 2am and connected me with a local follow-up.

the worst example is when a fighter calls someone out, both accept on social media within 24 hours, and then the UFC books neither of them for 6 months. the matchmakers have their own plan and the fighters are just characters in it

Interesting timing on this. I was just talking about it with my neighbors.

Fish City Grill in Rockwall is so underrated. The ahi tuna tacos during happy hour are $3 each and they're restaurant quality. Best kept secret in the area.

Not something I expected to read today but glad I did.

VCA CareClub is worth doing the math on. For puppies especially — the monthly plan covers all the first-year vaccines and 2 exams. Saved us about $300 over paying a la carte.

the womens program was a big reason i chose Alliance. having multiple female training partners at every belt level makes a huge difference. im not always the only woman on the mat and that matters

Been thinking about this all week. Good timing on the post.

Can someone from the north side weigh in? Curious if it's the same up there.

Library storytime on Tuesday mornings has been our routine for 2 years. Miss Rachel (the librarian) is incredible. She does voices, songs, the whole thing. My kids look forward to it all week.
