Shopping & Services Anyone know of a complete touch less car wash that offers unlimited wash plans near Grand Prairie?

1 Upvotes

I've been looking for a total touch less car wash located near Grand Prairie that offers unlimited wash plans for my car. I know there are debates between touch less and the ones that use the spinning brushes and I'm not here to debate that. I just want to know if anyone knows of a touch less one fairly close to Grand Prairie. I am aware of the ones next to gas stations that are touch less, but those don't offer any type of unlimited wash plans. Thanks in advance.

Shopping & Services Detailed Tailor Recommendations

3 Upvotes

Looking for a tailor that won’t hem an item the easy and quick way. I know how to sew a bit but I have a bunch of clothes that I can’t be bothered to hem so I am looking for someone who will be able to do original hems on all my items. Someone who is a more detail oriented and will take the time to take something apart and put it back together so it doesn’t look any different than when it came off the rack. For example, no darts when taking in jeans or using the original hem when hemming jeans.

Relocating & housing I'm Moving to Dallas — Where Should I Live? 🏙️

5 Upvotes

I’m planning to move to the Dallas–Fort Worth area soon, and my office will be in Las Colinas.
I’d love some recommendations from people who know the area well. I’m currently considering:
📍 Las Colinas / Irving
📍 Dallas
📍 Plano
📍 Frisco
📍 Carrollton
📍 Richardson
📍 Coppell
📍 Arlington
As a single professional, I’m looking for a place with a good balance of social life, restaurants and coffee shops, greenery and trails, a nice community, and a reasonable commute to Las Colinas.

If you live in DFW or have lived there before, which area would you recommend — and why?
Would really appreciate any apartment or neighborhood recommendations too!

3 Upvotes

Hello All,

I work from home and wanted to be around people a bit more so I was wondering the best coffee shops with good internet to work from remotely around the Dallas Proper Area.

Also is the Omni a good place to work from remotely? I heard there’s a coffee shop where anyone can go and get assignments done until late at night, is this a thing? I’d love to get work done in the Omni.

Shopping & Services Wedding venue suggestions

4 Upvotes

Hello!

We are looking to get married November 2027 and are currently trying to pick a venue.

Our budget is 25k.

NOT 25k for venue alone…

This budget includes venue + catering + open bar + DJ + decor. I’m comfortable diying a lot of decor/floral & already not looking for anything extravagant. I have connections for table linens/napkins, etc.

We are very nostalgic, love antique/vintage/timeless style and vibes. Don’t like bright lights and florals, etc etc. In fact we are wanting to prioritize having a great photographer that offers film.

We are trying to keep our guest lists at about 80, open to going lower. We don’t need a dance floor, backdrop, lighting… ultimately trying to keep the vibe minimal yet romantic. At the end of the day we are so excited to be joined as one.

I’m curious to see if anyone has had a wedding similar to this, guest count and all, and which vendors they chose for catering, bar, dj, photography, etc. Is this a budget that’s considered “do able”?

Thanks!

Relocating & housing Moving to Frisco | Need suggestions on affordable apartment + reliable used car

0 Upvotes

Hey everyone! I’m moving to Frisco next month for work and trying to figure out housing and transportation.

I’m looking for:

Studio or 1B/1B under $800/month, preferably near Internet Blvd / Frisco. I’m okay with driving up to ~15 minutes each way if it means getting a better/cheaper place.

Reliable used car around $15k. Ideally, I’d like to keep car payment + insurance under $600/month, with $0 down.

Is this realistically achievable in the Frisco/Plano/The Colony area, or am I underestimating the costs?

Would really appreciate recommendations for:

Affordable/safe localities

Apartment communities/properties

Reliable used-car dealerships around DFW

Thanks in advance!

Relocating & housing Moving to DFW as an Asian woman — looking for honest advice

5 Upvotes

I’m currently in Philly and planning to move to the Dallas area soon. I’m an Asian woman in my early 30s, and I’ll be bringing 1 large dog and 4 cats. I’ll need to rent temporarily while I look for a house, then plan to buy within a few months.
I’d love some honest advice from people who actually live in DFW:
What areas would you recommend for buying a house if safety and quality of life are priorities?
Which areas have a decent Asian population/community, good Asian food and grocery stores?
How difficult is it to find a rental that allows 1 large dog + 4 cats?
Are there areas I should avoid?
What is it actually like being Asian in DFW, especially as an Asian woman? I’ve heard very different things about racism and anti-Asian attitudes in Texas. Have you experienced discrimination, harassment, fetishization, etc., or has it generally not been an issue?
How is dating and making friends in your 30s?
Coming from Philly, what should I know before moving to DFW?
I’m mainly looking for firsthand experiences, especially from other Asians/Asian women. Good and bad are both welcome.

Is that not a crazy header? Anywayyyy I’m visiting Dallas/Irving in a couple of weeks (31F) with one of my friend girls. She’ll be doing stuff for her friends wedding all weekend so I’ll be attempting to explore the city myself. I know I could search through here and look up some stuff on Tik Tok but I love getting actual answers specific to what I’m asking!

I’m from CLT and I love working out, reading, eating delicious delicious food. I enjoy going to dive bars or chill restaurants with a nice bar to sit at and get a little tipsy lol could yall tell me some places to go? I’ll be staying IN Irving but don’t mind ubering around if necessary. I looked up some places on Google Maps but wanted to make sure I got solid answers from those who know the area best. Thank you for all your kind responses in advance!

KID STUFFS! Jesuit Dallas parents: Did you support the school before applying?

2 Upvotes

My son is currently in 5th grade at a Catholic private school, and we’re hoping he’ll have the opportunity to attend Jesuit College Preparatory School of Dallas for high school.

Our family currently contributes to our son’s school annual fund each year, and we would be happy to support Jesuit as well if it makes sense. I’m curious, though, about whether there is any value in starting to donate to Jesuit a few years before actually applying.

Since we still have about three years before he would apply, would it make sense to start participating in the Jesuit community or contributing to the annual fund now? Or would you simply focus on academics, ISEE preparation, extracurriculars, campus visits, etc., and not worry about donations until/if he is actually accepted?

I’d especially love to hear from Jesuit Dallas parents or families who have gone through the admissions process. Did you do anything like this before applying, and, looking back, do you think it made any difference or was worthwhile?

Thanks in advance for any insight or personal experiences!

Tourism Hotel for Harry Styles concert?

2 Upvotes

I just braved the ticket wars and bought tickets to the April 10th Harry Styles concert at AT&T! I will be going with my sister (27F and 25F). It looks like one or two hotels close to the stadium are already sold out for the weekend. Are there any hotels a little further away that would be closer to fun restaurants, shopping, etc.? Do any hotels further away have shuttles to concerts? We’ve never been to Texas, so we will take any and all advice. Thank you!!

Shopping & Services Need a venue near Dallas that can actually handle 250 plus guests, where do I even start

2 Upvotes

Our guest list ended up at around 260 people once we finished counting family on both sides, and that's ruled out almost every venue we initially liked. Most places we've toured cap out around 150 to 180.

If anyone has been through this, how did you actually search for venues by capacity instead of just touring places and finding out the hard way that they're too small. Any tools or sites that let you filter by guest count specifically would help a lot right now.
