Towns of Chapel Hill Apartments?

Hi everyone! I’m looking for an apartment to move into and toured Towns of Chapel Hill today, I really liked it, but was wondering if anyone that lives there or has lived there could let me know what their experience was like? Or let me know of apartments you’ve had good experiences with (West Plano would be preferable but I work remote so it’s not that big of a deal if not!)

Tomorrow is my birthday

Hello, tomorrow I’ll be turning 23, and it’s been exactly one year since I arrived in America. Right now, I’m looking for a job; it doesn’t really matter what kind of job.

Last year when I came here, I had almost no money, and even though I had all my documents, I couldn’t find a job and was unemployed for two months. Now, almost a year later, I’m in a similar situation. My work permit will be renewed in the first week of December, and right now, I don’t have a job. I’m looking for a place in November where I can work daily or get paid in cash.

I was working at Panera Bread, but the manager was sometimes bullying me, didn’t give me enough hours, and every time I went in, I felt like I couldn’t breathe, my mental was so bad, so I had to leave. This past year, nothing has gone right, and, sadly, I even thought about giving up, but I still wanted to reach out and ask if you have any job opportunities. I couldn’t even afford a car everything has been going so poorly. I have some experience in server, busser and digital marketing&social media. My goal was make some money and focus on my social media and & resell but yeah, nothing is going ok… I thought I could bring my family members end of 2025 but even I couldn’t do nothing good in 1 year. I have potential but I’m so stuck.

Also, do you think it would help if I went to any restaurant and explained my situation? Would they possibly hire me? What should I do, anyone can help?

Thank you.

Halloween plans

I'm a single adult with no kids but I'm actually off work for Halloween for first time in years so I want to do something fun. Anyone know anywhere that's having events? I was thinking about just turning up to some local bars in the area but I wanted to check here to see if y'all have any good suggestions.

recs for physical therapist or doctor who treats people with eds?

Plano is close enough to where I live and where a lot of my doctors are.... I have lots of hypermobility and might have ehlers danlos syndrome. So far I've found out the eds specialist at UTSW is not accepting new patients anymore and that's who any medical provider I've talked to wants to send me to.

I would love to find a physical therapist who actually knows shit about hypermobility and at least start there. I'm not party trick level of hypermobile but it's definitely everywhere and a doctor identified it especially in my hips. So I need to take this seriously considering my age. But apparently there's like just the one doctor in all of DFW.... which can't be true.

Do you have eds? Do you have a physical therapist who actually knows what eds is? Or a doctor? I need to stop doing shit wrong.

Have drivers gotten WORSE???

Never in my life have I seen worse drivers in this city like genuinely what is going on. I’m not even gonna get into the details but I’ve been appalled recently.

Obviously traffic is horrible too but I’m talking about individual behavior regardless of traffic

EDIT: literally just saw a red driving school car teaching a middle aged woman and she was drifting halfway into the middle lane and also going 30mph in a 40 in the left lane during peak hours. Other cars were swerving to pass her it’s just such an unsafe situation why is the instructor allowing that

Good place for live music on a Tuesday? Plano or nearby.

How do you do, fellow kids? Wife and I are looking for a nice place to grab post-dinner drinks with live music, preferably jazz. I looked up past posts on this sub and mostly there are places that do live music Thurs-Sat (makes sense). Might be a long shot, but anywhere with guaranteed Tuesday night performances (doesnt have to be a "real" band, just background music, etc is nice)? Appreciate any suggestions. Thanks!

October 28, 2024 City Council Meeting Recap

The following items were approved as part of the Consent Agenda during the Oct. 28, 2024 City Council Meeting:

Intersection Improvements
These five Plano intersections will be improved for over $2.7 million combined:

  1. Ohio Drive and Park Boulevard – Adds dual eastbound and westbound left turn lanes, eastbound right turn lane, pavement markings, signal poles and updates ramps.
  2. Custer Road and USA Drive – Adds crosswalk in eastbound - westbound direction, signal poles, video detection and updates ramps.
  3. Custer Road and Ridgeview Drive - Includes pavement markings, crosswalks, signal poles, and includes a shared project with the City of Allen to add a westbound right turn lane.
  4. 18th Street and Jupiter Road - Updates ramps, crosswalks and signal poles.
  5. Ventura Drive and Park Boulevard - Removes a portion of the median to extend the current left turn lane.

Name Change for Westside Drive
The official new name of Westside Drive is now Wildcat Way. This is the street that runs along Plano Senior High School. The only properties affected by address changes are owned by Plano Independent School District and the City of Plano.

Huntington Drive Parking Changes
Huntington Drive is a 26-foot-wide residential street with a condominium complex on the east side and residential neighborhoods on the west side. When vehicles park along both sides of the street, it impedes the flow of traffic and sight distance of motorists. Homeowners supported the parking restriction. The City’s Code of Ordinances now has a no-parking zone along the west side of Huntington Drive.

The next regular City Council meeting is Monday, Nov. 11 at 7 pm. The agenda becomes available after 5 pm on the Wednesday before the meeting. Go to Plano.gov/Agenda for the meeting signup link.

Looking for a new church as a young adult

I (29 M) currently attend a smaller nondenominational church in Plano right now and am looking for a new church as I feel like my current church community, while very friendly, is not at the same life stage as me right now (most of the people there are married/dating and some even have kids, while I'm single) and also doesn't have the most solid spiritual foundation when it comes to being a church.

As a result, I'm looking for a new church to check out in the Plano area, although I'm open to surrounding communities too (Frisco, north Dallas, Allen, etc).

The criteria I'm looking for is that it has a good solid foundation spiritually and has a solid young adult community with people more at my life stage that is also active outside of Sundays, and isn't overly massive to the point it's hard to connect to the leadership/other people.

I realize this is a shot in the dark, but open to suggestions of where people attend or have heard good things about.

Thanks!

Dart - Plano to Downtown. How safe is my car at the DART parking?

Thinking about commuting via the Dart. I will have to drive to the parker station and park my car there.

Anyone have issues with their vehicles parked there? Or know of any issues?

Is there an alternative to getting to the station other than driving or calling an Uber everyday?

Corepower yoga

If anyone is as interested as I am in getting a corepower location in Plano and not just Dallas proper and now Southlake, I found out you can fill out the form on this link below to suggest locations! If they get enough, maybe they’ll finally open a Plano one!

I created a map of all Plano Vehicle Inspection Stations

My problem

I was trying to use the TxDPS website to find a vehicle inspection station near me. The Zip Code search was broken when I tried to use it and there was no map visualization to know which options might be closest.

How I fixed it

I exported the data into a Google Sheet, searched for each location on Google Maps, and saved them all into a shared list for everyone else to benefit from. Additionally, the inspection types used on the TxDPS website required a key to decipher so I just did a find and replace to their full descriptions. You can find those in the notes of each saved listing.

Now not only can I find the location closest to me, but I can use the reviews and photos to filter out some of the less desirable options. I hope this helps the next time you need to go get an inspection!

If the TxDPS website gets updated with new locations or you notice something is wrong with the Google Maps list, leave a comment or DM me!

Just curious but does anyone know what is being built on K Ave. near the American First National Bank?

I pass by all the time and I think this bank is closed but I saw what looks like some Construction going on in front of the bank. Does anyone know what they are building?

Affordable gingivectomy

I’ve been wanting to get a gingivectomy to fix my gummy smile now that my braces are off. I went to get a quote and was told it would be 3k. In Mexico it’s literally $400. Not sure if I should risk it or does someone know a cosmetic dentist that won’t charge me and arm and a leg?

Best thrift/resale stores?

Looking for the best thrift stores and/or re-sale stores. Specifically ones with a lot of women’s clothing. Especially ones with trendy styles or clothes that generally cater more towards young adults. Nice dresses, clubwear, swimsuits, things like that. Willing to go a bit outside of Plano as well.

Painting Lessons

Anyone know of a good place to get painting lessons. My brief internet search just uncovered stuff like painting with a twist, or classes for school age students. After some sporadic self taught attempts from you tube and Bob Ross I’ve come to the realization that this isn’t something I can just pick up, nor just throw allot of hours towards and magically get good at. Humbling hobby I’ve decided to get into…..
Thanks in advance.
