Eating my way through DFW one neighborhood at a time. Oak Cliff roots.
My 2020 Hyundai Tucson was stolen from a Kroger parking lot in broad daylight in Arlington. Recovered 3 days later with the steering column destroyed. Insurance covered it but my rates went up $40/month.
Esports Stadium in Arlington hosting major tournaments puts DFW on the esports map. We've had Rocket League, Halo, and fighting game majors there.
Got a CatClamp installed on my Tacoma at Christian Brothers in Plano. $250 all-in. Peace of mind.
AT&T Fiber once they expanded to my neighborhood in Fort Worth was life-changing. Went from 50 Mbps Spectrum to 1 Gbps fiber. Same price.
People said the same thing about McGregor after the Aldo KO. Won the belt, never defended at 145, moved up, and his featherweight reign was one fight. Let Topuria defend before we crown him.
Dallas Zoo membership with Fort Worth Zoo reciprocal is a cheat code for parents. Weekend sorted for $0 every time.
Toll roads as a line item is so DFW. Nobody in other cities has "tolls" as a regular monthly budget category. We do.
The assignment of benefits scam is the worst one because it sounds reasonable. DO NOT SIGN ANYTHING that lets them deal directly with your insurer.
Road rage shootings are up 40% nationally since 2020. Source: Everytown. DFW is one of the worst metros for it.
The "what's my name" trick should be taught to everyone who uses rideshare. Simple and effective.
Frisco requires a solicitors permit that you can verify on the city website. If they cant show one, call the police.
Scanner says its a barricaded suspect. Warrant service that went sideways.
The mental health comeback is the real story. From 400 lbs and suicidal thoughts to heavyweight champion of the world. That transcends boxing.
MoneyPuck at 72%. I'll take those odds but I've been a Stars fan long enough to know better.
RadarScope is worth every penny. The polygon alerts are miles ahead of the generic county-wide alerts most apps send.
The Nunes losses are the only blemish and those were at 135 against arguably the greatest female fighter ever. At 125, Shevchenko was unbeatable.
Oak Cliff Coffee Roasters Ethiopian pour-over changed my understanding of what coffee can taste like. It's $6 and worth it.
Madness Games in Plano is a DFW institution. Friday Night Magic has been running there for years.
The Sacramento court was beautiful. The Indiana court was a crime against humanity. The court design quality needs consistency.
Had an underground leak I couldn't see. Water bill went from $60 to $340. Filed for the leak adjustment under TAC 24.85 and got the bill reduced to the average of my previous 6 months.
The funding disparity is the real story here. You get what you pay for in policing.
Globe Life AC in August is genuinely impressive.
McLaren refusing to use team orders when Norris needed every point was organizational malpractice. Piastri did not need those wins, Norris needed every single point.
Usyk at 220 lbs outboxing a 270 lb Fury is the purest demonstration that skill beats size in boxing. He made Fury look slow and confused.
You forgot Denton! College town vibes, most affordable in DFW, great music scene, but commuting to Dallas is 45-60 minutes.
