Early intervention services

Hi! We are moving to Plano at the end of the month - does anyone have experience with early intervention? How long are wait times for evaluations and receiving PT services? Separately, does anyone have recommendations for pediatric PTs we can go to privately? My daughter will be 15 months old at the time of the move.

Junk removal services?

We need to get rid of a heavy sleeper sofa and a loveseat. Looking for recommendations for a junk hauling service. We would just schedule a city pickup but the sleeper is too heavy for me and my husband to move ourselves.

Moving to Plano after graduation

I do not want to get ahead of myself, but I am in the middle of the interview process for a job in west Plano (north of Addison Airport)

I have lived in Kansas City my whole life, and going to college only an hour outside the metro of KC

I have been to Dallas once, and that was for last year's Cotton Bowl, and I had a great time. I loved the city and Texas Live.

Here are a few questions I have:

What should I know about the area

Best places to live/ rent an apartment

Things to do around Plano and Dallas

I am single (M22) so any good bars or places to meet people would be great. I look forward to learning about Dallas and Plano, and also, sorry about Luka.

Apartments in the Cityline area

Hello, I am planning to move to Dallas this year. I am married and in my thirties. I got to visit some of the apartments in the cityline area recently. I liked a couple of them. But the Google reviews on some of these have been really interesting. Eg: I was quoted the highest rent at The Register apartments where they showed us a lot of amenities. But on Google people say their amenities are broken most of the time and that the apartment has a pest/roach problem (with pictures).

Does anyone have any experience with the register/ other apartments in cityline area?

I am also curious if these apartments are primarily used by students. We would prefer to live in a non student housing area among mostly families.

Free Solar Power

Had a guy at the door just now talking about getting free solar panels installed through some Texas state program.

Didn't spend time listening but anyone have any idea what he was going on about?

Getting an appointment at DPS

Is there anyway i can get an appointment from DPS offices close to Plano that is within reasonable waiting period for a drivers license ? one of my friends has told me to go to the one in Garland around 7 am and try to schedule a same day appointment in person. Also read about people driving all the way to Palestine or College Station since they are the only places you could actually get an appointment in the same week and not five months from now.

Plano Area Democrats

Tonight they met at Bavarian Grill. Large turn out (half the restaurant). Had several people running for local offices speak even those that are primarily republican. Rep. Plesa was also in attendance to speak on Tx Legislature items for the coming year. The focus was getting across the aisle to protect public schools and education all the way to Collin County College from extreme ideals and talk like common folk. I felt it was eye opening to hear from both parties how closer to the doorstep your elected official is the more they can listen. At least at this event.

Handyman/Carpenter

I am looking for someone to build something similar to this. Per the video, it seems like a relatively easy construction, however it’s out of my scope. Any leads? (For reference: this video is from TikTok (saltyacres)

Any jobs hiring on the spot or immediately?

Need a job to pay bills after applying for 4 months only one employer has replied and successfully got the job. Waiting on new employer to call me in after successfully being hired. Still going thru the slow process but I don’t have time to wait on them. I have experience driving large vehicles (non cdl) with trailers. I have experience in sales specifically in the forestry industry selling jobs for tree service. But I am very versatile and can pick up things quickly including tech related.

Help please! Sewer line leaks under slab foundation

Just forked out $20k for foundation repair. Now the post test reveals I have pvc sewer line leaks under the concrete foundation due to lifting the house up. plumber has found at least 2 breaks in the line which need to be repaired and has provided an estimate for tunneling under the house, or jackhammer. Quoted $16k!!!

One is 5 feet from a outside wall, another is 27ft center of the house.

Can someone please recommend a reasonable priced, good second opinion plumber please? Would need the leak location test again to map out the exact spots, as this plumbing company did not give me anything, other then pointing out the general locations. American leak detection quoted $800 just for location test?! Makes me sick to my stomach.

The PVC repair is the easy part, most of the work is moving dirt, which the plumbing company sub out.

Best Electricity Provider?

How do you decide on which provider to go with?

Ambit? TXU? Reliant?

Do you just go with the cheapest rate?

I'm gonna miss Willow Bend mall - I won these in a raffle at the Louis Vuitton store there a couple years ago

I keep reading about how Willow Bend mall is gonna be closing eventually and turned into apartments, and the Macys's there is closing. I've been there a couple months ago and it's definitely dying. Half the stores inside are empty. It's really sad. I won these special Nike shoes at the Louis Vuitton store inside Neimann Marcus a couple years ago. I remember the store was moving I believe to Legacy West and they were raffling these off as some sort of closing event. Somehow I got lucky and won. I'm not much of a sneakerhead but definitely a good memory.
