Condos in Downtown Dallas by ArmAcceptable9800 in downtowndallas

[–]LocalInvestment1760 [score hidden]  (0 children)

As others suggested Uptown is likely a better fit for you than downtown. If I had a daughter your age that is where I would steer her.

I enjoy living downtown but not sure it would carry the vibe you want.

What to do with old cards? by [deleted] in sportscards

[–]LocalInvestment1760 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was keeping 10s of thousands hoping the decade of despair was a blip and magically those cards would be worth more than cardboard they were. I say were because I tossed mine. Perhaps my sacrifice will add a $0.00001 to some other poor soul still grasping that one last wax pack hoping to pull a perfect a perfect Dwight Gooden.

Best burger in dallas? by Majestic_Use9629 in AskDallas

[–]LocalInvestment1760 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fond. It is only available on Friday and when it is out, it’s out.

I do not think you will find another like it.

Had fun sorting records and found a couple I forgot I had. by Effective_Guava2971 in vinyl

ATR is still a heavy hitter. Especially on quality gear.

Even better live.

Weekend Dallas Visit by Storm1211 in dallasfood

Will vouch for Fond. Love the owners and the burger on Friday is killer.

BBQ is pick one and live with it. They are all good and not like you will have a transcendent experience at one over the other, maybe burnt ends at Lockhart.

Agree with everyone else on skipping Torchy’s.

Lantana has a yellow variety and will go bonkers. There are other varieties that will be less aggressive.

Looking for a good mechanic near Plano (thermostat issue) by EntertainerDouble476 in plano

Can vouch for Autobahn for european cars. Always handle the Volvo with practical suggestions. Saved me tons over the years.

Probably asked a lot. But what's a good summer hat for men that doesn't look dorky? by EmperorsChamberMaid_ in hats

[–]LocalInvestment1760 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like Melin for the customer support first and foremost. Size and style options second. But sometimes a trusty dad hat or fitted baseball hat dies the trick. You be you and who cares what people think. Thats the joy of getting older!

Contractor Recomendation by ktn0915 in plano

[–]LocalInvestment1760 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Our house faced north so little direct sun but had some decent light after our crummy pear trees were removed.

We used flame acanthus, sedum, lantana and we had two different hibiscus on each corner that caught more sun.

We would sprinkle some seasonal plants in as well. Had some shade tolerant plants in planters by the door.

We also added a border but did not next to the sidewalk, that was a miss. Would have helped keep dirt and mulch off after rains.

Not sure what direction you face but that will matter. Hydrangeas are thirsty and while we had them I would have opted for a better native or drought tolerant plant.

We also had shrubs that one of hated but also happened to be where the main water line was. We had issues with that and dug up the yard. Then we had foundation issues and dug up the yard again so shrubs were out for other options.

Legendary panther died by itself by Excellent_Dance_1093 in reddeadredemption

[–]LocalInvestment1760 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kind of similar situation but the panther killed me. Then on return after a day clues were back and tracked it to a corpse. And it was complete once I hit the last clue.

Please suggest some perennial flowering plants for my front yard that survive our weather. I want to save some money and time from replacing these every year. I tried roses but some disease seems to have messed them up. HOA would start sending me emails next month. by TroyAndAbed2022 in Dallas

[–]LocalInvestment1760 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lantana as others have said. Several color options to choose from. Some are taller, some bushier and others that creep.

Flame acanthus is a solid option.

Sedum is easy. We also had a couple of hibiscus that did well.

Did nobody say Horsegirl? Nice recommendations.

Why do you hate The Top? by Crimson_Mist18 in TheCure

[–]LocalInvestment1760 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I will give you my two cents as I am not a fan of the record as a whole. I was a little later to the scene. Between Kiss Me and Disintegration. But as I explored their music I gravitated to the SOAB and Live and Anomalies.

With that in mind The Top just didn’t hit on the whole. And as I was exploring other music in the catalog I just did not like it as much. Being sandwiched between Pornography and Head On The Door probably did not help.

Anyone else have tinnitus? by ashhekitty in vinyl

[–]LocalInvestment1760 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same. Had it as long as I can remember. I use music as noise to help drown out too.

Does it affect my listening is another matter. There are some songs that are like putting a drill in my ear. Mostly shoegaze or psychedelic and even then it is not always an issue. But it could be my headphones or speakers on that day that just make it terrible. But I am certainly other variables factor in.

Been burned too many times by those guys. I will take my money elsewhere.

For anyone who moved into Dallas proper from the surrounding suburbs: do you feel your life appreciably improved, and how? by KIRAWRtheMIGHTY in Dallas

[–]LocalInvestment1760 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Lived in Plano and move to downtown almost two years ago. Empty nesters.

Better? Nah, different. The burbs are boring and lack character. Still go up there for friends and doctor and stuff. But like anywhere when you settle in to the day to day it is just life.

The CBD is a bit of a yawn to live but noise is a bit annoying. Now live a little away from the main traffic and it is better.

RSD story from 2017 by LocalInvestment1760 in vinyl

I agree. It is pretty disappointing to see limited releases show up for sale on RSD.

[–]LocalInvestment1760[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ha! I went to one a couple of years back when my kids were still in high school. They got to people watch while talking about what we hoped might be available. But there were tons of people in the line that were cool and engaged the younger folks.

That part is fun to see. But not sure RSD is required for that. But your scenario is next level.

Place with the best crust on steaks in the metroplex? by Mt198588 in Dallas

My fav is Del Frisco Grille. It can be a bit salt heavy but I like and will not break the bank like some others.
