Hi DFW Folks, I wanted to know if anyone knows and have experience with pet boarders around DFW areas and can recommend some good options. Additionally I wanted something reasonable not overly priced.

Hello, I am moving from North Dallas up to The Colony around the intersection of Memorial Dr. and Paige Rd. I am currently a member at Texas Family Fitness and am aware that there is a location in the area but am looking to move to something a bit better. I am open to driving 10-15 minutes from the general area. Looking for more of a bodybuilder vibe with better equipment, trying to avoid commercial gyms, and am trying to spend less than $60/month but am open to a bit more if I think its worth it. Any suggestions?

Hey I’m 16 years old and am trying to go to a dc the don concert at the studio at the factory venue in February but tickets are about to go on sale, but I’m not sure if I’ll be able to go alone because of my age. I’m wondering, 1: do they id at the door, 2: do they have an age requirement and are they strict about it, and 3: what are the chances of me getting in? Side note I don’t know of anyone to take that are over 18 so idk if that’s a option currently

Hey everyone. Relocating from Nj and moving to Forney to work for txdot. I already secured an apartment at gateway oaks. Can anyone recommend some good food in the area? I’m excited for this new opportunity. Also would love it if any of y’all could share some bass fishing spots haha

M43 living in Richmond VA. I'm looking to move to a bigger city with more opportunities, socially and economically. My current salary is approximately 140k-180k. My job is HQ in downtown Dallas but currently remote however being “local” would probably be an advantage. Currently here in central VA there isn’t much for me to involve myself in being 43 and single. I’ve been looking at areas like Arlington, Frisco to name a few places. Would rent a house for at least a year to really determine the outcome. Still not sure if it’s the “best” idea based on losing my current mortgage but being here in VA is not the answer and would love some advice. The cost of moving and rates are pretty much as of now my biggest hold up however I’m thinking it might be worth it?

We’re already going to the ranch for our office party on Wednesday, looking for something good that can seat our team. Our office is in las colinas.

I am planning to buy a new car in the coming months. At this moment I'm interested in either Honda or Volkswagen. I'd like to know if any of you have any dealership suggestions (either to go or to avoid) Thanks in advance for your replies!

Good evening,

I have a question regarding long term cat boarding that is affordable! ❤️🐈‍⬛

I’m in a situation where I will be graduating from Sam Houston State next year in May of 2025.

My only parent recently passed away from renal cancer and was my greatest support system. I no longer have her to rely on and am doing everything myself.

For right now - I have plans to stay with my significant other and his family in the DFW area after graduation in May 2025 rent free until October/November of 2025 as that is the time when I can sign a new lease. I need to leave my current apartment by the end of May 2025.

However - both of the significant’s parents are horrifically allergic to cats (think breaking out/ itchy/ watery eyes just outright messes) and cannot accommodate my beautiful cat. They are also currently living in a 2 bedroom apartment that will - including me - soon have 4 people in it.

I don’t want to surrender my cat next year as she’s been with me for my mother’s diagnosis until her death. She’s a very loved girlie but I need her boarded long term for 6 months. I can pay for food, litter and will take care of all transportation to and from but I just cannot have her until I can sign a new lease next year in November.

Is there anyone that is able to help me or foster long term next year? I don’t know if I’m being unreasonable but I really need help.

For anyone wondering why I’m waiting so long - its because signing a new lease during the summer months is death to the pocketbook and with my mom’s passing and arrangements I already don’t have that much to spend. I can definitely acquire a new place by November of 2025 for sure though!

Thank you ❤️

My wife and I are a mid-twenties couple with no kids and pets (yet) who are interested in moving to The Colony in early to mid 2025. This will be our first plunge into home ownership, and we think that area is a great place to live for what we're looking for.

I am wondering if there any specific neighborhoods/areas that folks would recommend. Our (ideal) maximum budget is around $450,000, but we can budge a little if it's worth it. We don't party, and prefer a quiet area, which seems like what you'll mostly get in The Colony anyway. A 3 bed/2 bath home is perfect for us, ideally at least 1600 sqft.

I think I've provided all of the valuable context. Please let me know if you'd like more information, and I'll be happy to provide. Thanks again!

(I should note that I've already done my research on Zillow and other sites, and homes in this price range do exist, so please don't tell me that I'm crazy, thank you.)

New to town and looking to join the tech community. Any cool tech meetups that you would recommend?

Hi everyone!

I’m trying to figure out if there are any free options to get from DFW Airport to Centerport Station.

Thanks for your tips and advice! 🙏

I'm going to be at DFW for many hours today and was wondering if anyone had recommendations for a good spot to chill that wasn't in a paid lounge? I'm looking for places with some combination of comfortable seating, a good view, available outlets, etc. Any terminal would work since I can just take Skylink around. Thanks!

I know I can order them online but I wanted to go into a shop and go ahead and buy one to check it out.

Has anyone seen a local retail shop that would carry them? I am kind of assuming the above named retailers in the title might carry them as I don't think other major retailers would carry such an item. I am, of course, open to other locally owned retailers too. I'll check out a couple of the above named retailers that are near me.

I'm asking hoping to "crowdsource" where I could possibly get one of these dolls. Also, I am no way asking anyone to go into any of these stores for me, just to jog your memory a bit if you've seen them and where because I can simply order one online anyway. I was also hoping if someone knew where I could bee-line it there today.

Edit to add: I'm looking through store photos from Google maps to see if I happen to spot a doll body in any of the customer uploaded photos for the shops. I'm "letting my mouse do the walking" right now. lol

Thanks!

Hi friends! I’m travelling to DFW at the end of January for a wedding. Anytime I travel to a new city, I like to pick up a piece of jewelry or clothing from that city to commemorate my trip and to support local businesses/artisans.

I’m researching local businesses in DFW - do you have any recommendations for ones that sell jewelry or clothing? I was thinking of getting a customized cowboy hat but y’all can tell me if that’s too cheesy 😂

I have a broken screen on my iPhone 14 Pro Max, and unfortunately, it hasn’t been backed up to iCloud due to various circumstances. I need assistance transferring all the content from this phone to a new one. Additionally, I have a few SIM cards from other countries that need to be set up on the new device.

I’m looking for a cost-effective option to replace the screen, just enough to facilitate the data transfer. Once the transfer is complete, I’m open to giving away the phone for parts. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated!

My SO and I usually celebrate our Christmas at home but this year we want to go somewhere fancy. Any suggestions will be appreciated!

I’m recently single and looking to move closer to the action from McKinney. My goals are two-fold: live a richer social live (including dating), and minimize my commute. I’ll be starting a new gig soon near DFW on the Fort Worth side. Some neighborhoods that may potentially meet my criteria are Bishop Arts, Richardson, Las Colinas and downtown Fort Worth. Am I missing any solid options here? Thank you!

EDIT: budget is somewhat flexible, but hoping to pay no more than $2K for a 1br

Anyone knows one that won't charge you an arm and a leg to fix a dog's leg?

Is there something like a university hospital where vet students learn and you get charged less?

Know a few extremely casual ones, looking for something a step up and better that offers Iskander kebobs (some places only do those on weekends and that's fine) and other dishes with that kind of tomato / yogurt sauces.

Does anyone know of a bricks and mortar toy store that has a good selection of realistic baby dolls?

Does anyone know what restaurants/places have a lunch or dinner (a la carte of buffet style) open on Christmas Day? I have family from Australia coming into town and would like to celebrate by having Christmas out.

Thank you so much!

Last minute looking for somewhere to buy Lily of the Valley flowers - online order fell through and getting married next weekend - yikes!

Been calling places but thought I’d try here just in case.

Hey everyone I’m looking to move to the north Dallas/Carrollton area in January/February (I don’t mind if it’s a lil out I just want to be in the vicinity). I’m having trouble finding apartments, looking for the price range of 1,100 or less. I find a place then bam terrible reviews warning not to move there, I don’t mind an older place! If you know any or know of a real estate agent who helped please let me know! Thank yall in advance~*

Hello! I noticed today that my front license plate was stolen. I have already reported it to the police, and they recommended getting a plate with new numbers. What are my next steps? Do I need to schedule an appointment at the DMV?

Hi all, Im in the process of moving from Las Colinas. I came across this apartment called Forma at The Park at Kessler. Does anyone have any information on this property? They seem super affordable however I am not sure about the area and safety. Please help me out.

Is there a safe area near the airport (30-40min drive is ok) where we can eventually buy? Looking for a 3 bdrm rental under $2,200 if possible. A house is important to us especially as things get pricer so we don’t want to rent for a long time.

We have kids in middle school so we want decent schools with hopefully no bullying but not looking for the top schools. Looking for diversity.

Husbands looking to transfer with his work and I will be doing a career change which may involve having to go back to school and we are hopeful Dallas can offer us this during this transition in life. We have family in the suburbs but it’s too far from the job.

Reading through this sub, I’ve been looking at Carrollton, Addison.. not sure about the schools though. Seems hard to get a good middle school AND high school?

Would Richardson be too far of a commute? I think we will be fine with the drive if there is DART. Actually would love to use DART over a car. We are just choosing to focus on jobs and safety for my kids schools at this time. Thank you for the help 🙏

Currently a new grad moving to Dallas from elsewhere in the state in the new year for a job. Been apartment hunting and I’ve narrowed down to Arrive and The village (Open to other suggestions as well). Considering the The Village over Arrive based on amenities. What the your best neighborhoods to live in on a >1800 budget (Ideally best bang for buck)? I’ve currently considering lakes. I would like a place with washer and dryer connections if possible. Ideally trying to avoid excessive pests, noise complaints, etc. I know all apartments will have these but trying to avoid any in excess.

My targets right now are: Lakes, Green, and possibly Dakota. Any others I should be targeting? Which are the newer complexes? It’ll only be for a 1bd. Any guidance is much appreciated. I will be working in downtown Dallas.

I will be studying Computer Science in DCCCD. But I am on the fence while choosing the right campus. Some people say that Richland is the best among them while some would have a different opinion. I've also read how it gets easier to get internship opportunities if you go to Brookhaven campus. Mostly the environment, faculty, transfer process matter to me. But I want to know which one of them would provide the most value considering my major. Please help me decide with your suggestions. Thanks in advance!!!!!!!!!!

Emailed customer.service@dps.texas.gov last week regarding a spelling name error in new Texas state ID but no response. Anyone been in the same situation before and knows what needs to be done?

Hello, visiting from California. I’ve done some bbq research and I’m pretty sure I decided on trying Hutchins. Does it matter which one I go to? I see one in Trophy Club, McKinney and Frisco. I’ll be in Grapevine on Sunday so I was thinking of going to Trophy Club.
