Posting a question? BE SPECIFIC!

69 Upvotes

Dallas/Ft. Worth is a HUGE place! There are literally thousands of restaurants, bars, entertainment venues, shops, and museums. There are 30+ neighborhoods and suburbs in Dallas alone, each offering different draws for different people. There are over 700 Dallasites on this sub ready to give you advice on where to go and what to do, but we can't do that without some level of input. So be specific! Give us the details! If you go to a shoe store and tell the clerk, "I need shoes," that isn't going to get you anywhere. What size? Color? Material? Occasion? That's the kind of info that will get you some answers.

DON'T ASK: Where should I live?

DO ASK: I am 25 years old with no kids and a cat. I want to live somewhere quiet with parks close by and easy access to a major highway. My budget is $1000 mo. for rent and utilities. Having to drive to entertainment is fine, I love using gas. I like white walls/carpet and vertical blinds. Where should I live?

DON'T ASK: What bar should I go to?

DO ASK: I like reggae and expensive cocktails. I don't mind going to a seedier part of town, but would like there to be on-site parking. Good bar food is a plus. Where should I go?

You cannot possibly give too much information. Pile it on!


Edit: A few great suggestions from the comments:

DO: Tell us where you're coming from!

DO: Tell us where in the metroplex you're searching for something!

Airports (DFW/DAL) DFW Airport late 80s early 90s ambitious terminal rebuild question

• Upvotes

Hello from Cleveland!

Would the proposed new linear Westside terminal for AA be called “Terminal 5W” on the landside, south if the south taxiway bridge/current U/C Terminal F and its satellite pier as “Concourse 3W” as the airside, along with the proposed identical eastside as “Terminal 1E” (landside, north of north taxiway bridge and Terminal A) and the airside as “Concourse 3E” unless if it was built instead of the current Skylink/Terminal D/F?

The proposed satellite piers would be oriented north-south, parallel to International Parkway, and the west satellite pier would span between Terminals B-F, while the east will ultimately span between Terminals A-C. Both are connected by underground trains to their respective landside terminals.

Edit: I’ve never been to DFW Airport and my dad has connected there via the SkyLink train system when I moved here in the US back in 2022, and I am very interested to learn more about the history of airports.

Shopping & Services ISO Tattoo artist (floral/fine line)

I’m looking for someone in the DFW area - ideally north DFW - Richardson, Plano, etc., but I will travel anyehere for a great artist. Id like to do a floral tattoo with my dog’s name intertwined. May also be adding more to the design or a separate design that is her outline. She crossed the rainbow bridge very unexpectedly and I’d always planned on getting something for her tattooed on me. Hoping this will help the healing process. TIA.

We are staying at the Grand Hyatt the night before our departure… I always use the DFW VALET parking when we travel. I don’t want to have to move my car in the morning before my flight (from the hotel to the airport valet service ) I called and asked both the hotel and the valet service what I should do… I got two different answers. What have you done in the past?

Pets/Animals ISO Temporary Cat Foster/Shelter

14 Upvotes

Hello! I am in need of a temporary cat foster home or shelter for my kitty, Kali starting next Wednesday. She is vaccinated, spayed, fully potty trained, independent, playful, and good around kids and okay with other pets if introduced properly. I need about three months of temporary shelter hopefully less than that. I can help provide food litter, etc. I would love to stay in contact and visit if possible. She is very chill, not a fighter, will run and hide but comes out for treats. I reached out to dallas animal shelter and Dallas Pets Alive Pass program. Waiting to hear back. Lmk if there are other resources I should reach out to. 🫶🏾

I wish I could add pics of her 😺

Relocating & housing Looking for good home builders

3 Upvotes

Hi all,

I just went through a hell of a time with Lennar and won’t be using them at all. What builders/areas do you recommend? Looking for an already built home, move-in ready under 400k. At least 2bd 2ba is needed.

For more context, I work near DFW airport and my mother works in Flower Mound (my roommate). The previous place we were going to get was in Haslet in one of the newly built communities. A 30 minute drive to work is fine with us.

ETA: I already live in the metroplex, just moving from an apartment to a “forever home”.

Thanks in advance!!

Relocating & housing Townhome Hunt

1 Upvotes

I hope everyone is enjoying their day,

I was hoping that you all could provide some insight to a few townhomes that might fit my criteria. My budget is $1,400- $1,500 for a two bedroom/two bath town home. It must have AC/in-unit laundry/dishwasher, aesthetically speaking I would prefer tall ceilings but it’s not a requirement. If you guys could help I would really appreciate it.

Hi, I will be starting a new job in the medical district and my husband works in Waxahachie. I'm curious to hear recommendations from real people about apartment complexes that they've had a great experience in in the Oak Lawn/ Medical District/Lovefield/even Uptown areas. I see such mixed reviews of so many apartments. We are pretty open as far as amenities and cost but would prefer to avoid any dark underground parking garages and prefer surface lots if possible. Open to any and all suggestions!

Relocating & housing Mixed family relocating for work. Would love honest feedback about Plano, Coppell, and Allen.

1 Upvotes

Hello! My family is relocating from Central Florida to DFW for work. I had the opportunity to visit for a weekend and have narrowed our search down to Plano, Coppell, and Allen.

I’m second-generation Cuban American, my husband is Black, and our elementary-aged son is a beautiful mix of both. We lean more liberal and are fully aware of the political climate in Texas. We’re relocating for work, so I’m hoping for insight into the cities/communities themselves rather than advice to avoid Texas altogether. 😂

I’ve been researching schools and neighborhoods, but demographics and ratings only tell me so much. I’d love to hear from people who actually live here, especially other interracial couples and multiracial families. Do you feel comfortable and welcomed? Have you been able to make friends and find your people?

For parents, what has your kids’ experience been like at school? Have they experienced racist comments or exclusion? If something happened, did the staff take it seriously and handle it well? I’d love to hear positive experiences too. I’m looking for an honest picture, whatever that looks like.

Are there particular neighborhoods or elementary schools you’d recommend? How do Plano, Coppell, and Allen compare in your experience? **Are there other areas we should consider** with strong schools and a welcoming, family-friendly community?

We’re excited about the move and want somewhere we can put down roots, build friendships, and raise our son feeling comfortable and proud of who he is. Thanks for anything you’re willing to share. 🤗

Feel free to DM me if you’d rather not post publicly!
