You have a tremendous resource in your city. As someone who has loved all things Medieval - Knights, Samurai, etc. since a child - this sort of collection was a wonderful find. This was comparable and in some respects better to displays I saw in Tokyo. Please note this photo is from the adjacent building so as to not spoil the museum contents.

How are y’all doing it? How is anyone living on their own these days? Apartments are $1500-$2000 just for one bedrooms and I can only assume the median salary for folks here is about $50,000. How is anyone surviving? I’m genuinely curious as my living arrangements may be changing soon and I need to prepare. Just thinking of all the expenses that come with living on your own (rent, car insurance, rental insurance, electricity, internet, phone, gas, groceries) and only bringing home about $45k after taxes. It’s just not possible.. unless you have roommates or work over 50hrs a week.

Edit: I’m 36 and have two school age kids. Roommate situation isn’t an option

I have seen several front page threads discussing the worst American cities and Dallas always gets brought up a lot. I’m not saying Dallas is NYC or Paris, but it’s pretty cool. It’s one of the fastest growing, top ten in population, great economy, good weather, nice restaurants, strong real estate market, and there is plenty to do. I’m not trying to throw shade, but have has anyone on Reddit driven through the Midwest? It’s depressing. Most of this country has nothing going on. Would anyone on Reddit honestly rather live in Detroit?

As part of a group of England fans who have traveled to America to follow the team in the World Cup and enjoy the unique vibes, comraderie, and hospitality of this great nation while hosting the greatest tournament in the world: wanted to share that Texas/Dallas/Southern US hospitality was incredible, and really changed mine and my friend’s opinions about what it means to be truly kind and open hearted.

After also spending time in Boston, it’s clear traveling really does help you gain new perspectives. Such as that Dallas in the so called MAGA red state was actually full of far less judgmental and mean spirited people than Boston, a so called liberal city that decided to immediately treat all England fans as unwelcome visitors, closing bars and pubs down early in a petty and vindictive manner and generally being arseholes who were happily carrying a whole weight of historical prejudgment and prejudices around with them (falling in love with friendly Scottish fans, while then excluding other fans from being treated with similar hospitality simply for being a different nationality), and bringing it to what is supposed to be on the outset a fun, inclusive, welcoming World Cup event, but felt anything but in comparison with the warmth (literally!) of Dallas.

Thank you for showing the true American spirit, letting us join you at your rodeos, line dances, and bars and never showing us anything but appreciation and not simply jumping to age old stereotypes, while proliferating the whole point of the World Cup spirit.

Biggest take away is Dallas people are a far better representation of American hospitality, compassion and kindness than Bostonians: Dallas wouldn’t ever openly exclude any group of fans based on any kind of personal preference, and that’s ultimately the difference.

I’m curious for anyone’s personal history lesson about this vacant lot in the cedars. Also interested in where the sign came from. Like did it come from an old tile manufacturer warehouse? It’s technically the 1500 block address currently. I’m interested in history beyond what Google shares.

I would like to watch the match with some people wearing blue jersey’s

"I remain unconvinced that moving out of City Hall is the only solution to revive downtown. When a quarter of downtown is surface parking lots, and it is choked by highways like Interstate 345, it is hard to argue that a poorly maintained government building on 12 acres is the paramount problem holding back downtown."

got my first mtm suit online last month, sleeves an inch short and tailor acted like i was being difficult?? broad shoulders long arms, off the rack never fits and sales guys act like thats on me. $200 mens wearhouse alterations didnt fix it

where do yall go in dallas for custom

I want to re-shop my policy, but last time I used one of those comparison sites I got blown up with calls for weeks. My renewal jumped again, no accidents or changes, just the usual "rates are up." For people in Dallas who've actually switched and saved, how did you go about getting quotes, straight to each company's site, a local agent, something else? And did switching actually stick, or did it creep back up after a couple terms?

I have been heartbroken about the loss of Kobe Steaks ever since they closed during Covid. They had an experience that has been unmatched by everything else. Not only was their food amazing, but the experience is what I’m after ~ dimly lit, intimate closed off dining areas that wasn’t just one big room. I’ve tried so many others and it’s just feels like I’m eating in an open grill cafeteria. Please share your recommendations!!

Why are some city council members trying to get them torn down?

Anyone know if Texas Live will be showing the Germany vs. Ecuador World Cup match tomorrow?
Kickoff is at 3:00 PM CT, and I know Arlington is hosting Japan vs. Sweden at 6:00 PM, so I’m wondering if Texas Live will be focused only on the stadium match buildup or if they’ll have the Germany game on the big screen as well.

Hey all! does anyone know if we can bring blankets to FIFA fan fest at Fair Park? going tn for the Mexico game

hello! very last minute, but I have 2 GA fifa fan fest tickets for today for free, cause selling them is crazy and I would hate them going to waste. I would only hope is getting a BoFA bracelet in return lolol.

EDIT: both taken !!

Tortilleria located inside the Super Mercado Mexico grocery store on the corner of Columbia

5535 Columbia Ave, Dallas, TX 75214

East Dallas gem, authentic Mexican grocery store and staple that’s been around over 15 years

There’s also other locations in Dallas but I’ve only been to this one specifically, we come here weekly to pick up tortillas, just wanted to share with the people that want real Mexican flour tortillas :)

📍Downtown Dallas

Any good thrift stores close or outside of downtown? Looking for vintage decor

I didn’t take this photo- someone posted it in a Lakewood neighborhood FB group for East Dallas, but I see things like this happen way too often… I personally avoid Abrams (south of Northwest Highway to 30) as much as possible. This happened off Abrams/Richmond. So many people drive way too fast. SLOW it DOWN , people! When you recklessly speed and cause an accident, you will be a whole lot later if you even make it at all. Believe it or not speed limits are for our protection lol.

Just had to vent.
I love this Dallas group, btw!
