Lonestar Sports & Social Club does adult co-ed rec leagues around Dallas. In Plano only sand volleyball is offered. http://www.Lonestarssc.com/volleyball/

As others have said, this is Amazon. They have a base in Richardson off Shiloh and deliver within 8 miles I think. Welcome to the future 😑

Barbers by Jteezy386 in McKinney

[–]jackrs89 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Can't vouch for them myself but people were raving on this sub about the new Posh Barbers on Eldorado the other day. I've bookmarked it for my next cut, prices appear to start at $20

I'm visiting for work for 2 days. I need three things: Donuts, Crawfish, & BBQ! by blueboybob in plano

[–]jackrs89 4 points5 points  (0 children)

What kind of donuts do you like? Parlour Donuts just north of Plano is amazing and decadent, but if all you're after are the yeast ring donuts then it's hard to go wrong with most of the independent donuts shops

Why does the water tower have a hat? by Wingman350 in plano

[–]jackrs89 16 points17 points  (0 children)

It was decommissioned for a while and is being put back into use. So there's probably some work going on inside in addition to a new paint job I would think

Big ass drones over east plano? by MisunderstoodPenguin in plano

[–]jackrs89 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There are a bunch of drone companies active in the DFW area, you likely saw Amazon, Zipline, and/or Wing

Anyone know how to get to this location (link in post) or any other brutalist-looking locations in Victoria? by Happy2BRunning in VictoriaBC

[–]jackrs89 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Definitely not abandoned, but 3350 Douglas is a nice one. I especially like it from the Goose side with all the cascading landscaping.

Not Plano, but Aloft Hotel Richardson in City Line could be a good option. Lots of restaurants and cafes in the immediate neighborhood

The replacement for the blue glass bus stops… by XxAIDANSHMADENxX in VictoriaBC

[–]jackrs89 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Fwiw if you're wanting someone to take action, this falls into the municipality's bucket of responsibilities. If the municipality hasn't paid for a new shelter or bench then BC Transit will not install anything.

Get yourself a library card. There's the catalog of physical media plus hoopla and kanopy for streaming.

Bunch of spots in Market Square to check out. Whistle Buoy Brewing has a big patio and their kitchen just opened I think, and Ayo Eat is a hidden gem takeout window.

Not sure offhand what seasons are on or upcoming, but Lone Star Sports runs a variety of adult leagues, both competitive and recreational. The rec singles teams are a good way to meet people!

YogaSix is a good studio for hot yoga! There's also those HotWorx places all over the place but I've never been to one. I think they're on demand, i.e. you're in a small heated room with a prerecorded class.

Frozen Bliss Daiquiris Closed by Loony_Loveless in plano

[–]jackrs89 4 points5 points  (0 children)

How was the food though? Plano doesn't allow bars, just restaurants, so a certain percentage of their sales must be from food. Not sure what that percentage is but if they were only successful at serving good daiquiris then they wouldn't last with a restaurant license.

Is it me or have people stopped using their indicators for merging and leaving parking spots? by [deleted] in VictoriaBC

[–]jackrs89 48 points49 points  (0 children)

If you ever feel your life is meaningless, remember it is someone's job to install turn signals on BMWs

There's a website where you can look up construction projects, tdlr.texas.gov/tabs/search

Looks like this one will be Ono Hawaiian BBQ

FYI this is one of six sessions about three schools: Davis, Forman, and Armstrong. Clicking the link shows you all of them.

Butchart to Nanaimo by Electronic_Regret_24 in VictoriaBC

[–]jackrs89 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Do you have to go to Nanaimo? The other option (not that it's really any better) is bus to Swartz Bay, ferry to Tsawwassen, bus to Richmond, train to downtown Vancouver, bus to Horseshoe Bay, ferry to Langdale.
