First Thursdays

Did anyone go to First Thursday in downtown Arlington tonight? I enjoyed the salsa lessons even though I just watched. (I know. I'm lame.) And the musicians performing on the sidewalks were very good. But i didn't see many of the activities that were advertised. My neighbor and I enjoyed walking around though and dinner at Twisted Root so we had was a nice evening.

Since 1957, Al's has been making great old fashioned burgers

I've been going there since I moved to Arlington in 1992. It's always been pretty good.

A resident of Mateo Apartment Homes here with a concern about noise.

For the past 2 nights, there has been a car blasting music and driving all around the property. I've personally called the police 4 times in that 2 day period. I've also gone into the complex's office and reported the car aswell.

Calling the police did do something, but.... it didn't stop the person. As soon as (what I can tell) the cop leaving, the person in the car just started blasting music again.

I've told the office and they seem to know who it is. They asked me to get a plate number... I for one, am disabled and can not run if I need to. My knees quite literally don't have any suspension. The lightest jog leaves me crippled for a time, hobble hobble and it is super painful anytime I attempt at a walk afterwards.

I don't know if this POS is going to blast music again or not. If they do, I honestly don't know what to do. The driver starts blasting music at 10pm and drives all over the property FOR SOME DAMN REASON.

Calling the police for a non-emergency does nothing.

Edit: The loud music is coming from a property over at Manhattan Park Townhomes..... right when the clock hits 10pm...

What’s with the excessively high water/trash bills here?

What the title says. I’ve lived in several municipalities in DFW and have never had a water/garbage bill more than $60 that I can remember. I bought here in June, and my water bill has been over $100 every month. The water itself isn’t terrible, but when combined with trash/sewer/drainage it comes out double what I’ve paid anywhere else for the same services. It feels like we’re getting ripped off.

Is this something that’s been brought up before at city council meetings or anything? Can anyone explain why Arlington residents pay so much more than other local cities?

No kill shelters

Hi all,

We found a kitten on the road that seems like it was hit by a vehicle. The kitten had blood on it, we tried to clean it off but not sure if any bones are broken, or if there's internal issues of any sort. The kitten has no collar, and we tried to stay in the area for a while, but the kitten's mom didn't come back for it. We're currently not financially stable enough to take the kitten to a vet checkup with the possibility of surgery fees, even though I desperately want to keep it.

Does anyone know of any good no kill shelters around that could take in an injured kitten? Someone told me that shelters don't take in injured animals, or if they do, there's a wait-list. Is this true?

TIA!

Request from the Arlington Community

Hi all – I'm conscious that this is a big ask, but reaching out here with a plea to the Reddit and broader community. I'm desperate yet hopeful to find a donor for my needed kidney transplant. I’ve been fighting kidney failure since 2005 from my initial diagnosis and my health has now reached the stage where I am in imminent need of a transplant for the best chance to live.

If you or someone you know is Blood Type O (+ or -) and willing to consider kidney donation, you’d be saving my life. Feel free to DM me and can discuss more details, donors can be located anywhere in the US and I am registered at Fort Worth Medical Center.

The associated costs of evaluation, surgery, travel, and lost wages will be covered by my insurance and various programs and you will have a separate team of healthcare professionals that will evaluate you as a living donor. They will help you understand the associated risks and benefits and ensure your well-being in the eval / procedure.

Thanks again to all who are able to help / read / promote.

Running mechanic shop in residential area

My neighbor runs a mechanic shop in his garage, there are 7-9 cars parked on the driveway and on the curbside everyday. I like to know if its legal to run such business in a residential area. The noise, fumes and lights starts after he returns home from his normal job, extending into midnight hours.

How do you combat the smell?

Hey all,

Bought a house in June in far NW Arlington, and the smell coming from Village Creek has not been too unbearable except for the last two nights. We’re doing what we can to have good smelling things (candles, essential oil diffusers, open windows when it does not smell) throughout the house, but wondering if anybody who lives in the area has some ideas to help us combat the smell that we haven’t tried yet?

Cheers,

Any recommendations on where to buy washer dryer?

I don’t want to make payments on it and the max I wanna spend is $500. I’ve heard of liquidation places or places that have scratched/cosmetically damaged machines that they discount the price. Any suggestions on places?
