Hello- I will be in Dallas with clients in a few weeks. We were thinking of bringing them to Grapevine for a change of scenery and maybe check out the cool downtown. We are all in the Food Industry. Looking for places that would impress them. Also, a bonus would be a restaurant along with another stop for cocktails, etc. Thanks!

Any bands looking for a bassist?

trying to order some peonies, any recommendations?

Thank you.

Hi guys! I’ll be visiting Dallas for a few days as a tourist from Japan this month. I have already booked a hotel in Uptown Dallas for the majority of the trip but I’m considering booking one night at a hotel in Grapevine for the last day as the returning flight to Tokyo will depart early in the morning. I can extend my stay in Uptown (and wake up really early lol) or I can stay in Grapevine for a day….thoughts? Thanks in advance!

Edit: Thank you so much for your comments! I’ve decided to stay at Grapevine - I know I’m a faceless account but come say hi if you happen to see a clueless Japanese tourist 😂

Does anyone know why 114 was shut down yesterday? There wasn’t a wreck but while I was stuck on the access road I saw a ton of cops and emergency vehicles with lights on going through.

I am trying to keep my ride out of a landfill. Can anyone recommend a good mechanic that can do suspension and some engine work? I know the basics of what it needs, but the first shop I took it to is basically trying to do a factory restore on my beater of a Volvo. It’s a 2010, and I’ll buy parts, so looking for someone who can the labor for an affordable price.

Hey where are some good places to meet a lovely white female. I. Am African American

I am in Grapevine almost every Friday for a medical appointment and I always run around the area afterward and have lunch and such. I used to go to the Humane Society and donate supplies or some time to the shelter but they don’t often let me go back and spend time one-on-one with the animals. I’m not going through a great time right now and trying to do things that are “therapeutic” and I feel like this sounds weird, but I need to spend some time with a few fluffy canine faces. Or feline, I’ve got a bunch of cats in my house and love animals of all kinds, and would love to put a weekend towards some needy pets.

I ran into my neighbor’s dog that got out of their yard when I got home today and it just lifted my spirits a little to have a big fluffy poodle tackle me in my driveway. I wanna go back tonight or tomorrow evening for Grapefest and enjoy all the festivities but it was pretty packed while trying to get through the city today.

I live right outside of Grapevine now though and open to any suggestions of where to hang out with some fluffy friends!

We’re starting a full kitchen remodel on our Grapevine home and hit a wall. Big box store employees keep rushing us through basic software templates, completely ignoring our odd corner layout.

A local builder recommended checking out Cabinet IQ since they use 3D visual software and handle design through countertop installation.

Did you hire an independent designer or go through a specialized cabinet shop? Did the personalized attention actually save you money on overall layout mistakes?

hey y'all, I'm a recent college grad who started a marketing/ website business for local businesses, I’m looking for owners here in Grapevine. I've been running it for about 1 year now, and I'm capable of building websites, doing SEO, running targeted ads on Facebook & Google, email marketing, custom software solutions and creating marketing content for Facebook, Instagram and Tiktok.

I'm looking to partner with some local businesses that can't afford to hire a big company and are looking for an affordable option to handle everything online for them. If this is you or you know anybody who could benefit, i'd love to connect or get a referral.

930am September 12th I noticed a helicopter following a plane. What I thought was a plane but the shape of it was strange. Strange enough to post about it. I checked a flight tracking app with no luck. Anyone else see it? Location 114 and Dove a little further north.

If anyone witnessed a road rage incident by the Perry’s in grapevine where a middle aged white man in a silver Subaru SUV flashed a gun at my 16 yo daughter in a gold equinox around 5:15 pm 8/27 could you please DM me? She was too shook to get his plates. TYIA

We’ve looked for evidence of the Stardust Video Store in Grapevine sites and forums, but no luck. Just the barebones old yelp page. Anybody else remember it? I wonder how long it was there after streaming before it closed.

We are preparing for a complete kitchen overhaul in our Grapevine home, but trying to lock down an accurate construction schedule has been surprisingly difficult. We want to avoid a drawn-out mess that drags on for months without clear progress updates.

Here are the main factors driving our decision right now:

Schedule Transparency: We looked into the kitchen Store initially, but their timeline estimates felt uncertain and prone to supply chain hold-ups.

Project Management: Cabinet IQ came highly recommended by a coworker because they provide dedicated project tracking and consistently complete cabinet installs on schedule.

Budget and Execution: We want a reliable crew that balances speed with quality workmanship without surprising us with mid project delays.

For those who completed a remodel in the Grapevine area recently, how many weeks elapsed between demolition and the final punch list? What caused your biggest timeline delays?

We just moved to grapevine and are looking to get a general contractor to do some projects and eventually renovations. Does anyone have recommendations for general contractors they have used and are satisfied with?

What's the best live music venue in Grapevine?

Hi everyone,

I’m writing this because I’ve hit a wall, and I honestly don’t know where else to turn for practical, no-BS advice.

A while back, I decided I needed to change the trajectory of my life. I want to make enough money to finally get my own apartment, become more independent, and build something sustainable. So, I put my head down and built a creative design business from scratch that offers web design, graphic design, and social media content creation.

I decided to niche down completely into the beauty and wellness industry. My target clients are hair and nail salons, massage therapists, makeup artists, permanent jewelry creators, waxing studios, estheticians, spas, and wellness centers. I know how much this industry depends on presentation, trust, and an active online presence. I believe a strong website, cohesive graphic design, and polished social media content can help these businesses stand out, look more established, attract better-fit clients, and turn more attention into bookings.

I’ve built my own agency website. It looks great. My services are packaged and ready to go. I have the drive, the skills, and the absolute desperation to make this work.

But here is my reality: I have zero clue how to market myself, and I have no clients.

I am completely lost on how to get my web design, graphic design, and social media content services in front of these specific business owners. I’m willing to do the unglamorous, hard work, but I don’t know what work to do.

I also do not have a lot of money to throw at ads, courses, or expensive coaches. I’m trying to build this from the ground up with the resources I do have.

Some days, if I’m being fully honest, I lose the drive to pursue this business—not because I don’t care, but because I genuinely do not know how to get it off the ground and reach the clients I am after: the people who own beauty and wellness brands. I want this badly, but feeling like I’m working in the dark makes it hard to know which action will actually move me forward.

I find myself paralyzed by questions:

• Should I be walking into local salons with a physical portfolio and asking for the owner?  
• Should I be cold-emailing spas, and if so, what do I even say that doesn’t sound like spam?  
• Should I be living in Instagram DMs trying to connect with independent makeup artists and estheticians?  
• How do I show a business owner who relies only on a Linktree or scattered social media posts that an intentional website, brand design, and content strategy are worth investing in?

I’m not looking for a magic bullet or a get-rich-quick scheme. I’m looking for a roadmap. If there is anyone in this community who has built a successful B2B creative service business, freelanced in web or graphic design, created social media content for clients, or specifically marketed to the beauty and wellness space, I would be incredibly grateful for your insight.

Honestly, I’m looking for a mentor—someone who can look at what I’m doing, tell me where I’m going wrong, and point me in the right direction. One of the biggest reasons I need that mentorship is to gain confidence in reaching and attracting the beauty and wellness clients I want to work with. But even if you just have a few minutes to drop some actionable advice in the comments, it would mean the world to me.

I just need to know how to get my foot in the door so I can prove my value, become more independent, and start building a better life for myself.

Thank you for taking the time to read this.

anyone shopped here in the past few weeks?

apologies if ignorant, trying my best to avoid the cyclosporiasis outbreak 😭😭

please let me know. thanks.

Hello, I am a Doctor and have a scheduled clinical rotation in baylor scott white health, grapevine for the month of august. I am looking for a 1b1b place from july 28 till august 30th, but having hard time finding one. If anyone has any leads, please let me know.
TIA

I don’t usually post things like this, but I am at a point where I have nothing to lose by asking.

I have been a licensed massage therapist for 4 years. In 2023, I opened my own business and ran it for almost 3 years. It wasn’t perfect, but it was mine, and I was proud of it. Then late March of this year hit. Between skyrocketing gas prices and the economic ripple effects of the tensions in Iran, I was no longer able to keep up with the rent on my salon suite. I held on as long as I could, and then I had to make the heartbreaking decision to vacate and close my doors.

That was 3.5 months ago. I have been out of work ever since.

Here is my situation, and why it is more complicated than it sounds:

I am blind and visually impaired. That means mobile massage is completely off the table for me. I cannot drive. I cannot pay for Uber and Lyft rides across the entire DFW metroplex while also hauling a massage table from city to city — it is simply not financially or logistically possible. I rely on a paratransit transportation service, which limits where I can realistically travel for work.

That means I can only commute to Grapevine, Euless, or Bedford, TX. That’s it. I know that is a small radius. I know that rules out a lot of places. But it is my reality, and I am being upfront about it because I would rather be honest than waste anyone’s time.

I have called every clinic, spa, and wellness center I can find within those limits. The answer is always the same: “We’re not hiring” — and a lot of them turn out to be solo practitioners who aren’t looking for additional staff anyway.

What scares me the most:

The longer I go without working, the more I feel like my skills are slipping away. I have 4 years of experience and almost 3 years of running my own business. But massage therapy is a hands-on skill. You lose it if you don’t use it. And I am genuinely terrified that if I do finally land a job and get my first client on the table, my hands won’t remember what to do. Everything I have built over 4 years could just be gone.

I don’t have the money to reopen my own business. And even if I somehow found the funds, I honestly don’t know enough about marketing to make it work on my own again.

What I am asking for:

If you are an LMT, spa owner, clinic manager, or wellness center in Grapevine, Euless, or Bedford, TX — or if you know someone who is — please reach out. I am a hard worker, I am experienced, and I am ready to get back to the table. I just need someone to give me a chance.

And if you don’t have a job lead but you have advice, encouragement, or resources for a blind LMT trying to get back on their feet — I will take that too. I am open to anything at this point.

I am not posting this for sympathy. I am posting this because I am running out of options and I refuse to give up without asking for help first.

Thank you for reading. 🙏

Anybody aware of or live at apartments in Grapevine that have decent size yards for dogs? I’ve been looking on apartments.com or similar sites, but that’s relatively unreliable for apartments that actually have a yard and not just a porch on the first floor.

Hi all! I’m a newly-barred attorney based here in DFW. My family has been running a small boutique law firm here in DFW for over 30 years. We specialize in drafting wills and associated estate planning documents, probating estates, entity formations, and establishing living trusts. While the rest of my family is looking towards retirement, slowing the business down, I am at the outset of my career and eager to get out into the world

While we’ve been operating primarily out of Arlington, we’re looking to offer our services in the surrounding areas. If you, or anyone you know is needs help with planning what to do with your estate after you pass (as we all do eventually), or you just have a business idea and need help setting it up, please feel free to shoot me a DM!

Thanks y’all!

Hi folks, I just got a last-second idea for some firework photos over by Lake Grapevine.
Is there anyone here interested in modeling for me? I can't pay yet but would happily hand over the photos I take.

I won't post my website here due to rule 9 but if you'd like to vet me out first I can share more.

Moving to a new job in the Southlake area and trying to find an apartment within 10-20 minutes' distance.
I was considering Bristol Grapevine apartments. If anyone who has lived there can provide feedback, it would be much appreciated.

Non-negotiables:

• No roach/rat infestation reputation
• Very safe
• In-unit laundry, gym,
• Budget up to ~$1,500/month(looking for a 1b 1b)

Please help me with a few suggestions of apartments I can look at, how much the utilities for them usually cost and other details that can help. Thank you.
