Moving to Dallas from New England - need info

We are relocating from New England to a job downtown Dallas. We are empty nesters with two large dogs so, we are not looking into buying a house just yet. I was wondering if downtown Dallas is safe enough to walk and take dogs to a park. We have two cars but could possibly get rid of one since one of us will be working within walking distance. I heard Main Street District is a good area but I have no clue. We like to be close to restaurants, shopping and cultural events. Couple of things: we are moving from Connecticut but have both lived in large cities such as LA, San Francisco. We are well travelled and not really looking for suburban living. We are looking into renting a two-bedroom apartment ($2k to 2.5k).

Visiting this weekend

Hi yall, my partner and I are visiting Downtown Dallas this weekend for a concert, but I was wondering what other stuff we could do during the day. I saw a lot of good suggestions in other posts, but is there anything we should prioritize since we are only going to be there for one day?

Aqua S in Victory Park

Has anyone noticed this place closing down? I walked by this week and saw tenant lockout paperwork on the door, and the lights were out. I haven’t been by in a couple days but the map says it’s open? Really hoping they don’t close down, it’s my favorite place to grab a treat in Downtown!

Office Occupancy

For those who work downtown as tenants for large law firms, Banks, and Fortune 500 companies, what are your preferred Class A office towers in terms of esthetics, technology, and overall building desirability.....?

If you were looking for Class A office space for your company's new Dallas headquarters which of the downtown office buildings would you choose and why? Renaissance Tower, One Main Place, Adolphus Tower, etc.?

Also--Does anyone know which of the Dallas high rise skyscrapers currently have the highest/lowest tenant occupancy?

Thanks

Where to meet new friends/dates

24M, been in the area for about a year, looking to meet new people and potentially start dating again.

I have a few friends from work (most people at work are older) but they mostly go out drinking, which I'm trying to avoid (also, I’m not good at approaching strangers at bars). I do come out for the pregame but it’s usually the 4 of us just hanging out which is cool but I’d love to meet new people my age

I've started volunteering—though most people there are older and I’m doing it more for the cause—and I’m joining a volleyball league soon, which I’m hoping will help expand my social circle. I’m also considering trying out boxing (probably mostly dudes but it sounds fun and I can still make some friends!)

I’m fairly social and get along well with people, but approaching strangers isn't my strong suit. I'm looking for more organic ways to meet people around my age (ideally without using apps).

Do you have any suggestions for hobbies or specific places where these hobbies take place that I can explore? Even if it's something I'm not familiar with, I'm open to trying new things (just not book clubs, bouldering, drinking, or D&D/board games—I find those tough to get. Any advice or suggestions or tips is appreciated

I’ll be joining SMU and arriving in Dallas in mid august. I was hoping to find accommodation options near SMU. I have a budget of 500-700. I was hoping to look for roommates who are already sharing an apartment. I’m an international student coming from Pakistan if that helps lol.

New Coffee Shop Off Elm

If you care about local coffee and frequented Stupid Good Coffee when Victoria was running things; the new owners have opened up shop!

Scary Good Coffee is now the name. It’s got a cute new B horror movie theme and the new owners, Adam and his spouse have been in the industry 15 years, so the coffee is stil the best in downtown!

They are still getting things put together layout-wise, but am super happy we still have a locally owned option for coffee.

2nd floor concourse (and skywalk path) beside 1900 and 1910 Pacific, next to the Majestic.

Mosaic Dallas

I’m a 23F moving from VA to downtown Dallas next week. Is Mosaic Dallas a good place to live? The reviews are very mixed and without being able to tour myself, I’m not sure what to do.

Mural Wall in Dallas

Hi Downtown! I wanted to share something cool happening in the Cedars. Local muralists are taking over Lear St, and the first two murals are done. Thanks to Claudia Maysen and Catalina Currea for their amazing work. The Lear St wall is long, and we want to offer space for many more local artists to complete their passion projects. Would any muralists in Downtown like to be a part of this project? Also, are there any businesses or individuals that would like to help sponsor future work? This is a community effort - we're only looking to fund the cost of materials to complete the murals. IG: u/claudiamaysen.art u/artbycatalinacurrea u/modestmuseum

Grocery/Market options

I am native to west (very rural) Fort Worth, but have relocated to Victory Park in the last couple months. I’ve really enjoyed being able to walk everywhere I need to go and having so many things to do at my fingertips. I spend a lot of time walking around from my place in VP to west end, downtown, hardwood, uptown, arts district and to deep ellum. One notable thing I think is missing is a grab and go market or bodega in Victory Park (and even more of a lack of any grocery option at all in West End!) Here in VP I walk to Tom Thumb for most of my needs and on a more rare (but not atypical) occasion, I’ll walk down to Whole Foods on McKinney for some groceries or just to eat. I’m not taking these places for granted at all, but I can’t help but think it would be really nice to have a smaller market or bodega right on Victory Park Ln, Victory Ave or maybe in one of the vacant retail/food spaces around AA Center. We’ve got a couple of vacancies around VP but it seems to be a lively area most of the time and those smaller bodegas and markets are always busy with lots of circulation up in Oaklawn. I know of Berkeley’s Market in downtown, as well as the location on Katy Tr up in Knox-Henderson. The latter of the two definitely seems to be a lot more popular but that (I think) probably has to do with the locals in the area. Knox-Henderson has a lot of younger professionals and yuppie-types who enjoy that sort of thing. Sadly I’m not sure if the downtown area has enough of a lively (and young) residential community to keep the Berkeley’s bustling and busy. Downtown was my first choice when I was moving (The Kirby Building, specifically) but I could feel right away that the energy seemed more energetic (and safe!) in VP. Anyone else notice a lack of markets and grocery in downtown, deep ellum and west end? Or hear of any plans/discussion regarding bringing in some more stuff like that to the downtown area?

Option Trading/Day Trading Group in Dallas

Hey everyone, I’m looking to see if there is a group out here for option traders. I’m not looking for signals or anything just want to surround myself with the serious community. Whether it is a discord or live meet ups, I would appreciate any information. Thank you!
