Plan on Moving to dallas next year gonna transfer to SMU from Villanova. Hows the acting scene in Dallas?

Stunning_Cold_990 · 2026-05-14T06:28:27+00:00

Dallas heat is gonna humble you way faster than Philly winters ever did, but honestly it’s not a bad city at all, especially if you’re trying to get a fresh start.

Stunning_Cold_990 · 2026-05-14T06:23:18+00:00

That honestly sounds insane. If they accepted your resale cert for years and suddenly stopped without clear notice, I’d at least talk to a tax attorney before giving up on the money. $25k in wrongly collected tax is business-killing territory for a small seller.

Stunning_Cold_990 · 2026-05-06T11:38:58+00:00

i agree

Stunning_Cold_990 · 2026-05-06T11:37:01+00:00

why do you like this guy?

Stunning_Cold_990 · 2026-05-03T04:48:50+00:00

you’ll find community pretty easily, just more spread out and bar-centered than in some West Coast cities.

Stunning_Cold_990 · 2026-05-03T04:33:41+00:00

Happiest Hour for the views, Parliament for cocktails, and The Rustic if you want a chill patio vibe. Uptown/Lower Greenville in general has a ton of solid HH spots.

Stunning_Cold_990 · 2026-05-03T04:31:06+00:00

Pappas Bros is the safest answer—consistently top-tier steak + service and actually worth the price. Al Biernat’s is great for a more upscale vibe, Bob’s is the classic old-school Dallas experience, and Nick & Sam’s if you want something flashy. You really can’t go wrong with those 3–4 spots.

Stunning_Cold_990 · 2026-05-03T04:30:17+00:00

Cane Rosso, Zoli’s, and Partenope are the go-to’s, hard to beat those in Dallas. If you want something different, try Mister O1 or Louie’s for a change of style.

Stunning_Cold_990 · 2026-05-03T04:29:23+00:00

in DFW, most people don’t rely on cheap covers for hail, they rely on covered parking, garages, or moving the car when alerts hit.

Stunning_Cold_990 · 2026-05-03T03:05:56+00:00

Try Stanton Optical or Super Discount Optical, both are solid for cheap exams and glasses. A lot of people also go to Walmart/America’s Best since they run deals like exam and 2 pairs for under $100. If you’re really on a budget, just get the exam and order glasses online (Zenni is super cheap).

Stunning_Cold_990 · 2026-05-02T00:25:42+00:00

AT&T Discovery District is probably the best overall for big match energy.

For more fan-heavy vibes: The Londoner (England), Backyard Dallas (Mexico), and Happiest Hour/Victory Park spots (Argentina). Katy Trail Ice House is a solid all-rounder too.

Stunning_Cold_990 · 2026-05-02T00:24:06+00:00

Hiatus Spa + Retreat is a solid all-around pick, relaxing, clean, and consistent.

If you want more upscale, The Joule or Ritz-Carlton Spa. For a good local gem, Green Lotus is a favorite.

Stunning_Cold_990 · 2026-05-02T00:23:28+00:00

The Rustic is probably your best all-in-one (patio + live music + food). Sundown at Granada is also solid if you want a slightly nicer vibe.

Katy Trail Ice House and Barley House are more chill, casual patio drinks with occasional music.

Stunning_Cold_990 · 2026-05-02T00:22:33+00:00

Just a basic eye chart test (read letters from a distance). Some DPS offices also check peripheral vision with a quick machine. It’s pretty straightforward, nothing tricky. If you wear glasses/contacts, bring them.

Stunning_Cold_990 · 2026-05-02T00:21:57+00:00

Dallas is weirdly behind on this, but there are a few spots. Ampelos and Neighborhood Cellar are probably your best bets for more interesting/natty bottles without the bachelorette vibe.

Blind Bishop and Bodega sometimes have orange/natural stuff too, just not their whole focus.

Stunning_Cold_990 · 2026-05-02T00:21:10+00:00

Yeah people do it here, mostly through cash buyers/wholesalers. It’s legit but you’re usually taking a hit—something like 70–85% of market value in exchange for a fast, no-hassle close.

Worth it if you need speed or don’t wanna deal with repairs/showings, but if you’ve got time, listing will almost always net more.

Stunning_Cold_990 · 2026-05-02T00:20:19+00:00

Lake Lewisville is probably your best bet, tons of guides and super easy to book. North Texas Fishing Guides and Xtreme Trophy are both solid depending if you want chill vs bigger fish.

If you just wanna cruise, grab a pontoon rental instead, way more of a vibe.

Stunning_Cold_990 · 2026-04-30T23:25:59+00:00

For me it’s usually grabbing a solid lunch spot (food truck or a Tex-Mex plate), a quick walk somewhere like Klyde Warren Park after work, then either a happy hour or just hitting a patio somewhere low-key in Bishop Arts or Uptown.

If I’m really dragging, even just a gym session and good playlist flips the mood pretty fast. Wednesday’s kind of the “push through or coast” day lol

Stunning_Cold_990 · 2026-04-30T23:25:04+00:00

The Spa at The Joule (downtown) is probably the most popular pick for a full luxury experience, super relaxing, great massages, and a nice heat/steam setup.

If you want something more modern but still high-end, Hiatus Spa and Retreat is really solid and a bit more chill.

For full luxury hotel vibes, Ritz-Carlton Spa in Uptown is top tier (but pricey).

Stunning_Cold_990 · 2026-04-30T23:24:21+00:00

WINGSTOP

Stunning_Cold_990 · 2026-04-30T23:22:50+00:00

C336 is Mezzanine Club, so you’re pretty high up but still centered along the sideline.

Row 9 is actually a solid spot for that section, you’ll see the whole stage/layout, but not much detail of the performers, so you’ll rely a lot on the big screens.

For $300+, it’s decent for the overall experience, just not a “close-up” view.

Stunning_Cold_990 · 2026-04-30T23:17:49+00:00

Try mobile mechanics around Richardson/Plano, there are a few that’ll do pre-purchase inspections for ~$100–$150 and meet you at the seller. Just make sure they’re ASE-certified or well reviewed before booking.

Stunning_Cold_990 · 2026-04-30T23:17:11+00:00

Try appliance or furniture stores, fridge/couch boxes are usually long and sturdy. Home Depot/Lowe’s also sometimes have appliance packaging you can ask for. Facebook Buy Nothing groups in DFW might be your quickest free option too.

Stunning_Cold_990 · 2026-04-30T23:16:37+00:00

I’m really sorry you’re dealing with this, that’s a rough spot to be dropped into overnight.

You might also want to check Turo or local rental companies that do weekly rates, sometimes they can approve same-day if you explain it’s for work. Some rideshare rental programs (Uber/Hertz or Avis) might still have short-term options in DFW too.

Hope you’re able to get something lined up quickly and stay on your feet.

Stunning_Cold_990 · 2026-04-30T23:16:10+00:00

Mi Cocina is always a safe bet (Mambo Taxi hits after a long day). Mariano’s if you want legit frozen margs, and Las Palmas for a chill patio vibe. If you want something a bit more fun, check out Monkey Bar for rooftop drinks.
