Would love to support a local service. If you know of a rug cleaner that can get rid of carpet/clothes moths from a rug, please plug in the info here! Bonus if they can pick up!

Hello,

Looking for a snooker place in DFW. If anyone has any recommendations, please DM. Looking for someone to play snooker with too!

Cross-posting for visibility

Is there a place in east Plano to park when I go to DFW airport for week-long trips and take the silver line to the airport?

The apartment entrance is fully blocked off, 2-3 police cars and yellow tapes.

I volunteer with a local, all-volunteer dog rescue, Dallas Street Dog Advocates (DSDA.org), and we’re trying to improve photos for dogs who are waiting to be adopted.
We’re looking for a no-cost indoor room in the Plano/North Dallas area that we could use for photo sessions. Each session would take about 5–6 hours so we can photograph 6–8 dogs. Ideally, we could use the space once a week.
We don’t have funds for a rental, so we’re hoping a business, community group, church, studio, or kind neighbor might have a room they’d be willing to donate for this. We’d coordinate the dogs and volunteers, supervise the dogs throughout, and clean up after ourselves.
If you know of a space or someone I should contact, I’d really appreciate a lead. Thank you!

Collin County Commissioners Court Preview — October 26, 2026

Bottom Line (Ironically, At The Top)

This agenda is light. The biggest item in dollars is a $675.5K renewal of the county’s court-ordered GPS ankle-monitoring contract. If that isn’t enough to put you to sleep, the Court will hold a public hearing on a permit for next month’s Vintage Market Days at Myers Park. Sweet dreams. To rouse you from your sleep, Judge Jennifer Edgeworth will report on her Adult Mental Health Court, which is important, so sit up for that and stay awake. Some grants the Court will vote to receive nearly cancel out spending, so the consent agenda nets out to $108,485.79 of your money.

Where were the hundreds of motorcycles heading east on Park Boulevard from 75 going at about 11am today (sun 10/25)? Many had stuffed animals on the back.

So i got pulled over and got a ticket for it. Honestly, ive been driving without one for 5 years and never been pulled over it before. Have the cops started to enforce it more seriously recently or I just got lucky for 5 years ha! I do see tons of cars with no license plate and thought it was no big deal. Thoughts?

Born and raised in Plano. Went through PISD and graduated from PSHS in the late 90’s. I haven’t lived there since 1999 but I always look back on my time growing up there very fondly. Back then Plano had great schools, good infrastructure, well planned communities….the list goes on and on. Recently returned and I barely recognize it. Tons and tons of growth and development. I’m curious what locals think has been good, bad, and ugly in the last 25 years.

Anyone live(d) at any of these on my shortlist?

Las Colinas:

Via

Promenade

Fountain Pointe

Plano:

Huntington

Windsor at Legacy

Mirra

Tell me the good and the bad 🙃

Wanted to shout out La Miel at Custer/15th that just(soft) opened. I’ve been twice now and their pastries are delicious. I particularly like the chocolate Concha. Their chilaquiles are on point and it’s obvious that they make everything down to the tortillas chips by hand. The people there are super friendly and passionate about making their food and making you happy. It’s impossible not to want them to succeed and they’re worth a visit for sure. I think their soft opening hours are M-Sat 8-3:00 PM.

I bought a costume that I was really excited for, but our friends who were hosting a Halloween party had family stuff come up and had to cancel. We would prefer to avoid Dallas traffic, but I want to go out! Does anyone know of any non-sketchy adult events going on in the north DFW area in the next week?

For the record ive been searching/applying/hitting refresh on their positions since the summer. I was a teacher at Plano ISD a few years back, had to leave the area and I’m back. As far as I know the admin all liked me (they’ve since written recommendations for me so I guess that’s evidence). I have reconnected with some of the admin, they’ve just said there isn’t an open position at their school.

There just doesn’t seem to be many teaching positions opened… I’ve applied to a few non-teaching positions there (a coordinator position, the graphic design position) but nothing. I’m a bit desperate because I am starting my principal admin certificate and I need to be full time employed (technically as a teacher but might could be bent if working in a district with admin mentor) somewhere for that.

I’ve also thought they would be hiring for the new cte center but never saw anything posted for it.

Don't forget polls are open this weekend, too!

Easy to park, line is half indoors and half outdoors, quiet inside. Staff is very friendly and helpful if you need to ask any questions, lots of stickers available if that’s something that matters to you! (I love stickers and voting!) 💙

Every vote matters including yours! 🗳️

Frisco just approved a hotel, convention center, and retail shopping around Toyota Stadium. What do you think this means for the successful redevelopment of Willowbend mall? Does this affect your view of whether the Stars should build in Plano with our tax dollars?

Public Service Announcement:

I mailed my elderly father's ballot on Wednesday. I went down to the 18th street post office. The clerk weighed the envelope and the postage due was $1.11. Please make sure you put this amount of stamps on your mail-in ballot, so that it does not end up in limbo.

The fact that the exact postage price is not mentioned on the ballot smells like voter suppression to me. Please let your friends and neighbors know. Thanks!

Having a drainage issue in the front of my house which I believe is causing water to get underneath my slab and wreak havoc on my flooring and possible wet rot in the beams within the drywall. Really cool stuff.
Got a great rec for plumbing in this group before so figured I’d check to see if anyone’s got anything for me this time.
Thanks.

There was no significant line and it was quick and easy. Young and diverse crowd, I'm feeling optimistic. Please make a plan to vote if you have not already done so.

No line, walked right in. Back in my car in 15 minutes.

I've been there so I don't just want to walk past them this time
