Hi y’all! I’m looking to hire a massage therapist who makes house calls for my Dad on his birthday. Any recommendations? Thanks!
My girlfriend and I are planning to move to Allen from Arizona and would appreciate recommendations for good neighborhoods or apartments to consider. Thank you!
Hello,
I recently moved to Allen from Austin with my wife. We have a 2 month old daughter and are wondering if there are any other new parents in the area that might be open to getting together at some point.
Or if anyone has suggestions for new parent groups we’re all ears!
Feel free to send me a PM, thanks!
Does anyone remember anything about a church located at Greenville and Bethany in the same strip where Joe’s Italian Bistro is located? This would have been in the late 90’s. I’m trying to locate some information on a baptism. Thank you!
Anyone know why there are fireworks going off at 9pm on 9/21? Sounds like maybe towards Celebration Park.
need doctor recommendation. prefer male, older. lost my last 2 to retirement, then COVID shutdown.
have been using doc in a box and urgent care currently, but getting to the age (50+) where I need chronic conditions managed so I need a "permanent" doctor. Currently have Blue Cross insurance. prefer Anything close to US75 around GB Tollway. up to Allen even Mckinney; Central/East Plano, Richardson, South Frisco, even North Garland are fair game.
thanks for your suggestion. I'll be posting this on other DFW subreddits.
Looking to either see if anyone wants to play or wants to make a scene for Allen.
I have a 3 year old that loves swimming. Her birthday is coming up in December and I am debating if I should throw a pool party at one of emlers swim school locations (cause there are only a few locations doing indoor heated pool parties around that time). We are not members of emler swim school but wanted to see how anyone's experience has been, hosting a party with them or if there are any other options. I tried calling the swim school but haven't heard back from them yet. Any inputs are much appreciated
Anyone in twin creeks that has great cell service??? We have AT&T and it sucks !!

Does anyone know of an active Promo Code to use for the upcoming Pumpkin Nights festival in Arlington? 🙏🏽
Hey all! What would you suggest as a best coffee we can get here? And I’m not talking about Starbucks, of course😄 Can also be something around like closer Frisco, Plano, McKinney but not too far into them.
Hey y’all I’m a 26 year old guy who recently moved back to the suburbs. I grew up in Allen and it’s grown so much in recent years, seems like a lot more young people in the area with all the new apartments.
I’m looking for chill people who are down to hang out and play sports. Now that the weather is nice, it would be fun have a group to play pickleball with or meet up for drinks. Message me if you’re in north DFW (Allen / McKinney / Frisco / Plano) and we can get to know each other!
I've had to go to discount tire 6 times in the past 12 months (2 different cars in our family) for flat tire repairs. At first I thought it was due to all the roof repairs from the hail storms last year, but I'm still getting them consistently.
Is anyone else experiencing a lot of flat tires or do I just have really bad luck?
Sitting in my home office with headphones on, and I first feel my feet vibrate, then I realize I can hear something.
It was loud. It was a rumbling, shaking, oscillating sound.
Anyone else hear it?
We are moving to the area in less than 2 weeks. My elderly parents are moving with us and my dad is having surgery in 3 weeks so we need somewhere trustworthy to watch their dog and have very little knowlege of the area. Is there a good dog boarding facility we can use in Allen?
Did anyone see the hit and run collision this past Friday at Exchange Parkway & 121 involving a Honda Odyssey (blue) rear ending a Subaru Forester (gray)? It occurred around 2:45pm Friday afternoon and was on the service road heading east.
Does anyone grow or know anyone who grows tiger lillies that I could buy one flower from? Context: tiger lily flowers are my girlfriend’s favorite flower but I can’t find anywhere that sells them and it takes 3 years to grow them from seed so I was wondering if anyone knew of anyone I could buy one flower from to surprise my girlfriend with?
Hello, I’m new here and honestly just good for good local cheap mechanic shop, Any suggestions help and thank you.
Two Allen residents gave official notice of intent to sue the town of Fairview, just one day after the LDS (Mormon) Temple permit application was denied by the town council. They claim that their free exercise of religion is "substantially burdened" by prohibiting them from worshipping in a temple close to their home. Instead, they will have to drive to the Dallas Temple.
One of the plaintiffs lives in the Twin Creek neighborhood in Allen. He lives 6 miles from the proposed Fairview Temple (~12 minute drive), and 20 miles (~25 minute drive, off-peak hours) from the Dallas Temple. He is claiming that this extra 14 mile drive places a "substantial burden" on his religious exercise.
Of note, the lawyer representating the Allen residents makes it clear in the letter that they do not formally represent the Mormon church, but only individual members.
The Mormon church similarly claims that a website regarding the temple is not an official website of the church. However, church leaders have repeatedly emailed this website to their members, and even instructed members of the church to look to the website for official updates.
It is very possible that the Allen residents are acting in close connection with Mormon church leaders in their lawsuit against the town of Fairview. This would effectively allow the church to go through discovery (obtain all records from town) while shielding the church itself from discovery and unwanted attention.
