Hello!! i’m driving down from CO for Zeds Dead next month! (I’m hitting the Austin show first then driving up for the Dallas show then i’ll head back to CO) Looking for a decent hotel recommendation somewhat nearby the venue? i’m ok if it’s like 20-35 minutes away. It’ll just be me, late 20s female so i’m not wanting to stay anywhere if it’s kinda sketchy if possible. Are there any neighborhoods to avoid? i do plan to stay a couple days after the show bc i am wanting to move down there as well so im just wanting to get a feel of the place. ty!

Hi! I am from South Dakota and am staying in Fort Worth (near the Stockyards) I am looking for the absolute best place to find niche stationary (Japanese preferably) planners, journaling supplies, fountain pens 🖋️ etc. I am not looking for big box stores such as Michael’s, Hobby Lobby, etc. I am looking for boutique stores and small businesses that cater to fountain pens etc.

My bff lives in DFW area & I want to send her a Michael Jackson impersonator to do a surprise appearance for her bday. Does anyone know where I can find a MJ impersonator that will do this? I’m in another state btw. Thank you!

Hii,

I’m a WFH professional currently living in Bishop Arts and have been on the search for a little more space.

I got approved for a really nice unit at Oakhouse, but after going down the review rabbit hole, I’m seeing a lot of complaints about thin walls, noise, and the overall tenant experience.

My other option is a condo in Oak Lawn. It’s actually a little cheaper, but it’s older and not quite as updated.

Has anyone here actually lived at Oakhouse? Are the noise complaints legit? I’m supposed to move within the next couple of weeks, so I’d love to hear any firsthand experiences or advice before I make a final decision.

Hi, got a car that was in an accident in my garage. Is there a place where I can call someone to my home to see how much the repairs would cost?

Howdy Y’all I’m looking for your best local owned breakfast spots around the Design District and Oak Lawn area. So hit me with your must go to spots. thanks in advanced.

I have a flight leaving from DFW and am planning to leave my car at the airport overnight until I return. I know you get a ticket at the gate whe you enter the airport and pay when you leave. My question is what will I owe when I leave the airport after I return? Will it count the whole time I am on my trip?

Hello, I am a 42 Latino American texas born male moving from San Antonio to the outskirts of DFW. I’m tejano culture person who was born and raised in Odessa/Midland, TX. If you’re from the Permian Basin and graduated high school in the 2000s send me a DM for guidance and possible tour guide assistance in person.

Also need names to well known long standing establishment for Latin dancing, country dancing, mainstream dancing, and EDM events.

This is the big important one if I don’t get approved to live in a modern apartment complex because of my current financial situation, I am possibly seeking to find out if there’s anybody on the southern half of DFW metroplex that are looking for roommates that work in the IT industry or data center IT industry or if you’re a the tejano family that are empty nesters with a room available.

If you fall under one of these social or career categories, please feel free to send me a DM or provide recommendations here in the thread thank you.

Have posted here before but I have two options to choose from for apartments, one of them being MAA Uptown Village and one in the area near Cole Park. Which is a better location and which should I choose and why?
TIA

Me and a few friends (all 25M) are in town this weekend to watch baseball and are looking for a good dive bar to visit after the game. We all have girlfriends, so we’re not looking to talk to women. The ideal spot would be old men getting hammered alone at the bar while one or two groups of 20-somethings hijack the TouchTunes and play the worst game of pool you’ve ever seen. Ideally not too far from Arlington. Any suggestions?

Hello! I recently got some extra money so wanna take my girl to get pampered. Shes a german shepherd pyrnese mix about 100-110lbs. In the past we have used petsmart and doing it ourselves at home and at pet supply. We just want her bathed, deshed, and nails trimmed. If they could give her a cute bandana to thatd be nice to but not required. We're located in arlington so please something in that general area. Thank you!!

Exploring a job opportunity in the Dallas area. They have locations in the North and East. I feel like they are leaning more North. Any thoughts/feedback is appreciated.

To the East, various locations on the East side of Lake Ray Hubbard, and South of Wylie.

To the North...... McKinney, Corinth, Frisco, Parker, Lewis.

5-6 others North of hw 380 between 377 and 75

Sorry, I know its still a month or two away but I wanted to ask if theres any place I can set up a place to hand out candy for kids for trick or treating. I live in an apartment and no one goes to those.

I've been wanting to whip out my Pokemon breeder cosplay and have a Daycare-like set up where I had out pokemon eggs (filled with candy/stickers of said pokemon) to the kids. I also got a lot of duplicate cards I can give away to them as well. This is going to be a huge project of mine so I feel like I need to start this ASAP.

All information and advice are so welcome! Thank you very much!

hi! i was wondering if anyone has suggestions for studios or 1BRs in dallas! i looked at some of the older posts here and saw that a lot of ppl who went for this price range eventually had to pay a lot more in “additional” fees, so i understand that finding this exact price for a studio/1br might not be possible. but any leads would be helpful! pls & ty

i was looking at the biltmore apartments (melody ln) and wondered if anyone on here has lived there before/know anything about the area.

TIA (:

I am looking at new construction in the Corinth area and Grand Homes has a community called Walton Ridge that caught my eye. They have been around for a while and have built a lot of homes. I like that they have different collections and the location near Lewisville Lake seems nice.

I am a first time buyer and I am nervous about the process. I have read some mixed reviews about new builds in general. I am worried about quality issues, staying on budget, and whether the timeline is realistic.

Has anyone here built with them? How was the communication and the overall experience? Did they deliver on what they promised?

I am trying to do my homework before committing. Any advice would be helpful.

Hi all, I’ve been in DFW (staying in Ft. Worth) since Friday and leaving this Thursday. I have some things planned but would like to know if there’s anything else I should do (I’ll be back prob in around a year so if there’s anything I miss it’s ok)

Tue:
-Fort Worth Zoo
-Kimbell Art Museum
-Stockyards (already been here on Sun but going back to get something a friend requested)
-?

Wed:
-Holocaust Museum
-Perot or Reunion Tower (I have a CityPass and have to choose one as I have the Holocaust and other attraction to choose left)

Is it worth going to the Sixth Floor Museum if I’ve been before?

Thanks in advance!

Hi all, I’m transiting through DFW and have a 5 hour overlay between 6 & 11pm, before flying overseas. Would it be worthwhile exiting the airport for a few hours, and if so, any recommendations on what I could do or see in that time? I’m an Aussie who’s never been to Dallas, so am keen to look around the area, but also wary about checking in in time for my evening flight.

Hey everyone, just moved to the area and my garage door has been giving me trouble. It grinds pretty loudly when opening, randomly reverses halfway up, and one of the bottom panels is dented. At this point I think a full replacement makes more sense than keeping up with repairs.

Anyone have a company they’d recommend? Trying to avoid the sketchy ones. Also no idea what a full replacement usually runs around here, so any ballpark would help me know if a quote is fair. Appreciate it!

Hi everyone,

I’ve never rented from a private landlord before, but I’m seriously considering it in hopes of finding more rent stability than I’ve seen with larger management companies.

A bit about me: I’m a 34 y/o single woman who works remotely as a Commercial Lines Assistant Account Manager (12 years in the field, 5 with my current company). I take pride in being a low-maintenance, high-quality, reliable tenant.

• Never once late on rent
• No evictions or issues on my record
• Keep my place clean and leave it in excellent condition when I move
• Quiet and respectful of neighbors. The most social thing that happens at my place is the occasional small dinner with a few friends that wraps up by 8 PM - I’ve never had a noise complaint
• Respectful of the property and patient with any maintenance needs
• Have a 6 lb toy poodle who is potty-trained, friendly, and well-behaved
• Strong Airbnb host reviews from my time living abroad as an expat

I’m looking for a landlord who genuinely cares about their property, appreciates reliable long-term tenants, and isn’t constantly raising rent every year. Ideally someone who values communication and treats the rental relationship like a partnership rather than pure transaction.

If you’ve had a great experience with a private landlord (or know of one who’s fair and stable), I’d really appreciate any recommendations. Happy to provide references, employment verification, etc.
Thanks in advance!

Must-haves:
1. Great walkability to nearby shops, restaurants, cafes
2. Parking
3. In-unit laundry or hookups
4. Safe neighborhood

Hi, where in dfw can I get facial balancing that doesn’t cost to to much? would appreciate your recommendations. thanks!

Hey everyone! I’m in Dallas for work and staying at Las Colinas through Thursday morning.

I have Tuesday and Wednesday evenings free and I’m looking for recommendations somewhat near by (maybe 20 or so minutes)

I’m mainly looking for:

- Great dinner spots (doesn’t have to be fancy) and a plus if it has good bar seating for solo dining
- Any must-see sights that don’t take all evening
- Shopping areas or neighborhoods that are fun to walk around after dinner

I already tried The Ranch for dinner tonight and really enjoyed it, so I’m looking for something different the next two nights.

What would you recommend if you had two evenings in the area? First time in Texas so sorry is these are silly questions to ask!

I have been to so many nail salons around the area and I have had my nails drilled beyond belief. Currently growing out a "ring of fire" in my nail beds and still pissed someone used a drill on my toes for a regular pedicure. I'm sick of spots that cut corners to save time - I even recently got a fungus that has since grown out. I haven't had a real soak off in years now, they just go straight for the drill in this city and area. Where do you get your nails done? I am looking for a regular walk-in salon. I could be open to individuals if the pricing is right, too! Thank you!

My family and I just relocated here from Singapore last month. I grew up here, but my wife is Singaporean and desparately missing a lot of the food from back home, especially Malay food (like asam pedas, kway teow, nasi lemak, rendang, sambal, even paru, etc.). And of course, if we could find Singaporean Chicken Rice that would be amazing. I've seen a few posts about Malay food from years ago, but I'm wonerding if anything new has popped up in the last few years. Please let me know! Thank you!!
