This hits different if you've been in DFW for 10+ years.

This is why I check this community daily. Information saves lives.

Local politics affect your daily life more than national. Worth paying attention.

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

Interesting perspective. I see it differently from the Fort Worth side.

Sharing this with my neighbors. They need to see this.

The ISD decisions affect property values too. This matters.

This is exactly why I love this platform. Real DFW conversations.

Visiting at night is the best advice here. The complex I almost signed at looked great during the day tour. At 10 PM it was a completely different scene.

Church-based daycare at our local Methodist church: $850/month for a toddler. Waitlist was 8 months but worth it.

If the first person falls through, I am interested. Just moved to Rowlett and our apartment does not have in-unit laundry. We would put these in the garage.

This has been on my mind too. Living in Austin gives you a different perspective on it.

The Houston market is wild right now. Good topic.

Anyone tried the crappie brush piles on the northwest side? I've heard there are community brush piles sunk specifically for crappie but I can't find coordinates.

The algae warnings are SERIOUS. My neighbor's dog drank lake water during a bloom last August and had to be rushed to the emergency vet. She survived but it was $3,000 and touch and go for 48 hours. Check ntmwd.com before you go.

The white bass spring run up Rowlett Creek is the most fun fishing you can have on this lake. When they're in, you can catch 50+ fish in a morning on small jigs. Watch for the birds — when gulls are diving on the surface, the whites are underneath pushing shad up.

The key is putting things in the trunk BEFORE you arrive. They literally sit in the parking lot and watch people stuff things under seats.

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

S4 is a Dallas institution regardless of your orientation. The dance floor energy on a Saturday night is unmatched.

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

Veritas Wine Room self-pour machines are dangerous. You load a card and pour your own tastings from 100+ wines. My "I'll just have one glass" becomes 6 tastings fast.

That Double-A shortstop is legit. His exit velocity numbers are elite. Source: FanGraphs minor league stats.

Dallas College continuing ed classes are a hidden gem. I took a woodworking class for $120. Met cool people, learned a skill.

Academy pipeline keeps producing. If one kid breaks out, we surprise people.

I've bought art at this festival 3 years in a row. The quality is legitimately gallery-level. Found a ceramicist last year whose work is now in my living room.
