What was going on around midnight near town lake? I live in a complex near it and there was multiple police cars going in and out of my complex and a helicopter circling over and over.

This lasted over 30 minutes at least. I went outside to try and get a look, I could see 2 flashing police cars zooming through and 2 blocking one side. I heard a women shouting at the police "I don't know, the freak went that way" I could only see from across the pool so I wasn't really close enough to hear talking, I only heard that because she said it so loudly.

Freaky side story: I literally had a dream the night before that I went out on my patio at night because I heard allot of sirens and I saw a helicopter in the sky on fire with broken windows crashing towards me above the pool and a hospital bed was dangling out of it from a rope and the sheets were covered in blood.. 😬 and it was so strange because I almost never have memorable dreams!

Luxia craig ranch apartment

I'm considering renting at Luxia Craig Ranch but they have really bad reviews online. Anyone living here and can share their experience? Is the area safe and walkable at night? How bad is parking with the parking garage only on one side of the buildings?

Busy people - best grocery delivery?

For anyone who orders groceries, what’s been the most affordable method you’ve used for delivery?

Amazon prime has a $9.99/month delivery service but food here is typically more expensive than HEB and I’m not sure if they increase the cost of items for pick-up/delivery as well. Sprouts will sometimes offer free delivery in their app but similar situation, food can be more expensive. HEB charges as little as $7.95. Similar thing with Kroger. Then there’s DoorDash and Instacart which will increase prices of items from grocery stores. Then there’s misfit market but that feels like a heavier carbon footprint than shopping locally.

What’s everyone’s experience been? I’m in a busy season and need to save time but want to do it in the most efficient way possible.

Second story addition

We are really in need of more space but aren’t really finding much that fits our needs, which includes a decent lot size - for a budget we are happy with. Our current backyard and location is hard to give up when compared to the new builds that are on even smaller lots. We currently have a one story home and are considering building up.

Are there any recommendations for licensed contractors/companies that have experience with a second story addition? We would like to have initial discussions to understand potential costs and if it is a better decision for us than buying a different home. Ideally we can compare pros/cons of purchasing a larger home vs adding a second story.

Best fast casual/counter service restaurants?

Looking for good places. I have pretty open taste when it comes to food.

Fast casual/counter service preferred, as I’m usually dining solo.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions!

Ford Dealer Service Recommendations

I’m new to the area and am really looking for a trustworthy dealer to service an airbag light issue.

I bought a used F150 (not from a local dealer) and the dealership lied about the vehicle history (accident wasn’t reported to insurance and was bought at an auction). The airbag light has been on for months and my windshield wipers don’t dispense fluid but they work.

I’ve called the Bob Tomes in McKinney location for months and they say it’ll take 3-4 business days to run the diagnostic on the airbag and they have a waitlist for rental car 100+ people deep.. and that’s just for the diagnostic.

I’m open to all suggestions - definitely need a reliable mechanic here in the future but considering it’s an airbag, might be best to find a certified ford dealer for this one.

Moving to McKinney from NYC

Hey guys. We got our closing date and are moving from NYC end of Feb. A few questions:

  1. What is the process of getting our cars registered with Texas plates? Do you recommend we kick off this process online or do we need to go into a local DMV?

  2. We have NY drivers licenses. What is the appointment process like and is there a preferred location we can go to streamline this process?

We have two insanely crazy toddler boys (2 and 4). Because of this, we cannot do normal things, normally. The task of getting groceries becomes a Herculean task with them! Trying to get some pro tips.

Thanks all!
