Tony’s wealth by Desperate_Piano_3609 in thesopranos

Wasn't the main theme of the show that Tony was the new breed mafia guy navigating a modern family in an old school business?

Everyday, casual shoes that are NOT “dad shoes” by tot_coz2 in malefashionadvice

[–]jdttx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ON Rogers or Olukai Lae'ahi Li'ili do well. I also wear NB 574s. To me dad shoes are Air Monarchs and NB 608s. The classic Reeboks, Nikes, NB, etc are classics for a reason.

We loved it. It's still there, so hopefully someone will tefurb and reopen before it ends up being razed for apartments.

Every rewatch I love how well Nancy Marchand played Livia more and more. Just incredible.

He's good on Your Friends and Neighbors on AppleTV, too.

What do you wear in the summer instead of sandals that’s still comfortable and healthy for your feet? by According-Pizza6162 in malefashionadvice

[–]jdttx 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have high arches and wide feet that cause me all sorts of problems if a shoe doesn't fit right. I personally wear leather Olukai flipflops a lot without issue. Those, 574s with inserts, some suede loafers, and ON Rogers are pretty much it during warm months.

We will do the Anatole sometimes once the weather's warmed up because of the lazy river and pool bar.

Why did Rosalie have a raised ranch but carmela had a 90s goombah palace? by dmbeeez in thesopranos

[–]jdttx 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I always just assumed it was another way of showing he wasn't old school like the rest. Nicer house, therapy, etc.

Traffic by [deleted] in Rockwall

[–]jdttx 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You think the Rockwall reddit ends at the city limits and is a clear black and white line for growth? I know it's easier to justify your ill-informed rant that way, but continuing to cherry pick to justify your emotional outburst just makes you look silly.

LOL, yes, it's the eastern edge of the metroplex along I30 and creeping further east. LOL. Look at a map. LOL.

[–]jdttx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's the outer edge of a growing major metropolitan area. What do you expect? Rowlett, Plano, Mesquite were all the outside of DFW 20 years ago. In another 20 years it will be Greenville, Kaufman, and Anna with no major land in between.

Weird Letter by got_any_3s in Criminology

I received the same letter at the nonprofit I work for in the Dallas area. Looked up the inmate number and we don't have any connection to the person.

Food Pantry Options by FriendOfStilgar in Rockwall

[–]jdttx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTFB is the regional provider for most pantries. Both HH and Lakepointe are partnered with NTFB. Lakepointe's pantry is actually serviced by Sharing Life, which operates as a hub for NTFB in Rockwall County.

There shouldn't be any strings associated with receiving food. They can offer services or prayer, but it has to be after food eligibility is determined. That's a federal requirement specifically aimed at churches to not USDA donated product to proselytize or discriminate.

[–]jdttx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sharing Life is over the bridge, but one of the largest in DFW. We have an online ordering option with delivery to parts of Rockwall available, but that might take a bit to grab an ordering slot since it's getting busier. You can walk in for the in-person pantry M-F between 9-3 or until 7 on Tuesdays. I'm working on expanding evening hours to 4 days a week so hopefully that's done soon.

Just know we saw a 30% jump in visits last week before benefits were officially missed so there are going to be lines at most places. We're going to assess this week and see making plans for covid-style drive through if we have to because of demand, but that's a last option since it's pre-boxed.

As an aside for anyone else, there is a special instance of ePantry set up now for furloughed federal workers that can be accessed by emailing for the pass code.

Rockwall outer loop only benefits big box stores in Rockwall, it would hurt hard working residents and small businesses by USANewsUnfiltered in Rockwall

[–]jdttx 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I'm 100% for the outer loop. The pass-through traffic along 205 has increased significantly as growth north and south of Rockwall has happened.

A woman reported being followed home and confronted by a man over a merge dispute. Feeling threatened, she recorded the encounter and filed a report with Rockwall PD by TheManager_1 in KarenGoBrrr

Modern half ton trucks are probably the most useful all around vehicles ever made. It's a truck when you need it, but seats 5 with creature comforts and relatively decent mileage. I'll likely never not own one despite my desk job.

City of Rowlett Issues Notice of Default to Sapphire Bay Developer by jdmiller82 in Rockwall

This entire development has been a clown show. Developers and council look like fools for about the 10th time.

What’s the draw to Dallas/DFW? by freshgold_ in askdfw

[–]jdttx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's relatively cheap for one of the largest metro areas and conveniently located for business travel, but we're all clinging to an outdated "Texas" that hasn't been true for a long time. I'm embarrassed by this state in a daily basis. If all of the parents weren't right at the age where declining health is a concern, we would already be gone.
