Recommendations for a trusted Dentist.

My mother was in the icu for 280ish days over the last two years. Between the medications and having a tube force down her throat to.. not die. The tube knocked them out fully with some and others chipped/decaying. She’s healthy now! No need to worry but she needs her smile back!

Is Garland that bad?

Hi everyone! I’m considering buying a house (my first) in Garland in the Holford neighborhood next to Duck Creek Golf Club (Belt Line & N Shiloh). Is this a generally safe area? Anything I should be aware of? I’m between this house and one in Plano, but I’m really in love with the house in Garland. I’ve just heard that Garland isn’t as safe, the schools aren’t as good, resale value might not be there, etc… I’m 25yo with no kids, but planning to have some within the next 5 years.

What’s for dinner?

I’m having family from out of town over for dinner. I’m not a bad cook, I just don’t wanna. I’m trying to avoid tex-mex, Italian, bbq, and seafood. Something family style I can pick up and either serve immediately or put in the oven to stay warm without losing integrity of the food. Any suggestions?

Jan 27: 2025 State of the City Address

Members of the bond study committee, including myself, will be in attendance to answer questions about the proposed bond election during the open house portion. There is also a "special announcement" from Mayor LeMay being teased.

Date time and location: Monday, Jan. 27, 2025 @ The Atrium, 300 N. Fifth St. Open house starts at 6pm, Mayor LeMay's presentation begins at 7pm.

"In his final State of the City addresses, Garland Mayor Scott LeMay will talk about the City’s 2024 accomplishments and work still to be done – including a preview of Central Library upgrades and the 2025 opening of the West Garland Library and the Holford Recreation and Aquatic Center. In his sixth year as Mayor, LeMay is term-limited and is not eligible for re-election in May.

Monday, Jan. 27, The Atrium, 300 N. Fifth St.: Attendees will get a sneak peek at facilities set to open in 2025 and have the chance to talk with members of the City’s Bond Study Committee about a potential bond election. The free event will also provide one-on-one time with staff members in an open house format. Department tables will be set up throughout the facility, and a kids' activity area will be available. The open house will start at 6 p.m. The Mayor will take the stage at 7 p.m. and will make a special announcement during his address.

Attendees can also enjoy complimentary chopped brisket sandwiches courtesy of Credit Union of Texas. One lucky attendee will win a giveaway that includes dinner at Dos Banderas and tickets to see EZ Band at the Plaza Theatre on Feb. 21."

Best Internet in the area?

So my wife and I are moving to Sachse here in less than a month and the provider we currently have (AT&T) does not offer comparable internet in the area compared to what we currently have in McKinney (Fiber 500).

We are moving close to Firewheel mall and are looking for suggestions, what ISPs are best and what should we avoid?

2025 Mayoral Election

I have some specific questions for the candidates of the upcoming mayoral election and I’m wondering the best approach.

It would be sweet if they held some sort of public debate or something (short of FB which is really turning into a dumpster fire). Maybe they do and I’m ignorant of it

Any ideas or suggstions?

How do I dispose of batteries?

I'm pretty sure I shouldn't just toss them in the garbage nor recycle. Is there a responsible way to dispose of them? I'd like to know for all size batteries if you happen to know. Thanks!

Recycling Centers

I'm looking for computer parts (all kinds. RAM, hard drives, cases, etc) and wondered if there are any recycling centers in Garland that let you pick through what's been brought in.

If so, will they give parts to you or do you have to buy them?
