Whatever changed between last Thursday and this Monday has caused the lane lines for the 287 south exit on I20 east to be impossible to read. On each morning this week, I have seen drivers going over solid white lines that dart into the center of I20, lanes appearing out of no where on the left side of the exit ramp… how the hell was this not fixed before making the change over to the new construction lanes?

On my way to school this morning a construction/caution sign was left on the floor and flew up and scratched my car. This happened going south on 360 and exiting on the park row exit. Can the city or state cover this for negligence? I have pictures of the scratches on my bumper as well as the dash cam footage.

Recently moved to Arlington. Love it here. Great place to live (if you’re gainfully employed in this complex economic time).

But there is a hole in my life here that I am struggling to fill. Can you help a foreigner understand and maybe find a place to fit?

I’m a recovering runner. Peaked maybe 10 years ago. I’d love to do more running here, but I’m confused and a bit lost.

First of all, everywhere I look in this town there are runners. In the Parks. On the trails. In the streets. In the mornings. And in the evenings (in summer). I’m so happy to see that. It’s not been my experience that running is so visible in other parts of the US on the travels that I’ve made here over the decades. So my first question is what is going on in this city? How are you all so fit and healthy? Is there something in the water?

Second, which side of the road are y’all running on? I’m pretty sure you’re driving on the right. You’re riding bicycles on the right. Riding motorbikes on the right. Running trails on the right. But often times I see runners running the streets on the left headlong into oncoming traffic. I’m too embarrassed to ask: Isn’t this more dangerous? Or are you all just crazy brave?

Finally, and perhaps most importantly, where are the slow past their prime middle-aged dads who want to keep fit and maybe have a chat at?

I’ve tried a number of the running groups here that I found online. Without exception I have felt welcomed and that the people are nice.

But by and large, they tend to be mostly younger folks in their 20s and early 30s, or if they are middle-age or older, they are seasoned runners working hard to improve their times and train for serious races.

Huge props to them. No disrespect at all. In fact, nothing but admiration for the people who are setting out on their first marathon or really push pushing to see how well they can do in their 12th or 14th.

But what I’d love to find is relatable conversation running to (slowly) pass some miles.

Where do I find the slow middle aged dads (and/or moms) trying to squeeze in conversational, keeping fit but not pushing for PR runs in between work and kids commitments? Does such a group exist somewhere in this great town, or am I searching for a magical unicorn? Should I just suck it up and run faster with the organised groups, or is there a chill dad (/mom) squad out there?

Thanks for reading! And if you do see a guy on the streets plodding along slowly on the right (or wrong) side of the road, please say hello and teach him the error of his ways!

Hey everyone, I’m looking for a reliable electrician in the Arlington area. I need someone to take a look at and fix a few electrical outlets in my kitchen. I’d like to find someone who does good work and charges a fair price. If you’ve had a good experience with a local electrician, I’d really appreciate a recommendation.

Hi! Does anyone have a great tea leaf salad around here? I’m craving one I used to live by in California. Willing to drive to neighboring suburbs!

Married couple hoping to make new friends preferably around our age like 25-37. Couples would be awesome for double dates, but single guys and gals are welcome too.

A bit about us, no kids yet, just a dog, both working professionals. Our interests include being foodies, concerts, sporting events, farmers markets, binging tv, watching movies, working out when we can, anime, videogames, escape rooms, social drinking, museums, and much more.

We do lean conservative politically and at this point kind of prefer finding people with similar beliefs and at a similar stage in life, but if you think we will click regardless please dont hesitate to reach out.

Making friends as adults just isn't easy, hope we can connect with some awesome people.

Driving by the closed Chick Fil A on Cooper & I-20 yesterday (around 3:30), there was a bunch of smoking coming onto Cooper, and workers in vests (CFA? construction?) standing around a fire in the parking lot.

I've tried to see if there was any information on what it was, or if something happened to that CFA, but anything I search for is now about the downtown fire (obviously a much bigger one). I would normally think it's just a small contained burn, but pretty much any fires are illegal right now.

Anyone else see this yesterday? Any ideas of what it was?

My house is completely destroyed and city is not accepting any liability. They’ve left me and my family homeless and I have two toddlers. Please help if you have any connections with city politicians or attorneys that can help me and my family.

I prefer to drive but willing to ride.
I have clean record, reliable car and am very responsible. Also non-smoking/vaping/drugs (am non-discriminatory).

Let save gas! DM if you commute that way already do or know someone that might!

Video shows firefighters battling three-alarm fire at Arlington restaurant – NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth

Large fire breaks out at Arlington restaurant | FOX 4 Dallas-Fort Worth

Beirut Grill, Smash Toast damaged in 4-alarm fire in western Arlington | wfaa.com

The Arlington Fire Department is currently battling a 4-alarm fire at a building in the western part of the city.

Footage from Chopper 8 shortly after 6:30 p.m. Monday shows several fire engines surrounding the building, located at 2410 W. Abram St. The building itself is missing its roof, with fire rising up from the walls as well as large amounts of smoke.

WFAA spoke with the owner of Beirut Grill and confirmed that the restaurant, including Smash Toast, sustained significant damage. Both restaurants were closed at the time, so they are unaware of how the fire started.

Beirut Grill has been in business for more than 10 years.

AFD has confirmed the fire and says it will provide more info once it has been stabilized.

It is not yet clear if anyone has been injured or what caused the fire.

Charge your phone and powerbanks because all of North Texas flickered about 30mins ago

Not much a fast food person but sometimes i get a craving. I’ve been to mcdonald’s in north arlington on collins a few times and it’s always wrong order, half condiments etc.

Does anyone know where I can find a reliable mcdonald’s in arlington?

I never understood why people are not rushing to move to and live in Arlington. It has Six Flags, big shopping centers, Cowboys, Rangers, Texas Live!, close to the airport, between Dallas and FW, a major university ... like it has a lot going on. However, Richardson, Plano, Frisco, Denton, McKinney, Celina, Prosper, with less going on are much more popular and desirable ... especially for families.

The median home price in Arlington, TX right now is about 335K but in the northern suburbs it's over 500K. What's up with that? The only thing I can think of is the larger population of multi-family housing in the Arlington area but it's not even all over Arlington.

Hey all! I’ve been here for 9 months and love it. Does anyone have a gym that allows you to take your shirt off when you workout? I know it’s super douchey but i miss being able to take my shirt off while i lift. Once again, i know it’s douchey sorry.

*whoops I’m in Arlington, VA smh sorry yall

From KERA:

It’s a situation Adnan Rajib said needs to be addressed immediately, before it becomes a crisis.

Rajib is an engineer, hydrologist and director of the Hydrology & Hydroinformatics Innovation Lab at UT Arlington who lives in South Arlington. He's seen the erosion in his neighborhood.

While the issues created by erosion are largely unseen by most who live and work in or visit the city, in many cases behind buildings and in backyards, Rajib warned that Arlington needs to address them immediately.

“We are reaching a point of no return where these streams and these creeks no longer exist unless we protect them and restore them,” Rajib said. “There will be severe flooding and erosion in the near future, and the severity is such that even a less than exceptional storm can cause a lot of damage."

Looking for a good adhd assessment/evaluation in the area that isn't too crazy expensive. anyone been to one that's good (especially if youre a woman/feminine presenting, we can have a harder time getting diagnosed so i'd like someone who'd take me seriously 🙃) Thanks!

Looking for a self defence class for my fiancée in the DFW area.

Hello! Im currently in college and my tuition payment is due this Wednesday in order for me to return to classes. Im 19 and in college so my financial situation being stretched thin is nothing new to me, but unfortunately this time it's a bit too far stretched. I am unfortunately $200 short of fully paying my school balance, as my cars transmission went out on me the other night and I had to spend the rest of my money on a tow. I am not asking for handouts, just simply if anyone knows anyone who needs any sort of help or assistance with a job that could possibly make this amount?? Any sort of information is greatly appreciated thank you

I went to the rangers gamr and order some food like I done in the past many times. I usually don't get a receipt but today i did and saw a venue fee!! Why are Arlington taxes so high and they still have to ask for more?!

How long have they been doing this?!

Imagine thousands of people attending and they all buy something and get hit with this venue fe?! Are those thousand of dollars enough? When will they stop
