Wheelchair man at NE Green Oaks and Lincoln
Maybe someone on here knows. Past couple weeks there’s been a man in a wheel chair at the traffic light waving at everyone. Not begging for money. Doesn’t really look homeless. Not promoting anything. Just out there waving at people for 6+ hours a day. First time i saw it and was “that dude is friendly” but he’s been there several times since.
Anyone seen this?

Found James Avery bracelet
Making one more attempt to reunite this item with its owner. It looks like a very sentimental piece.
I do not know when it was lost, but the fact that the colors are faded and there's some other wear/damage makes me think it wasn't very recent. Minimum 3 months ago, maximum, maybe 2 years.
I believe the owner was probably quite young.
It was recovered from the filter of a large swimming pool.
Tell me what charms are on it.

Where to dispose of an expanding Lithium ion battery?
I noticed my portable lithoum ion battery charger stopped working and is slowly expanding. I've looked up where to dispose of it safely but I've had no luck. I found this page on the Arlington website about proper disposal in Arlington, it says that Lowe's and Home Depot are disposal options, but when I called the Lowes on W Arbrook and the Home Depot on W Road to Six Flags St, they both said that they only take batteries with nothing wrong with them. I called batteries+ on N Fielder and no human answered the phone. Now I am thinking that I literally have to call the fire department next. I checked out the Battery Network website to see where I can dispose and it literally lists locations that I have already called that say that they actually can't dispose of my expanding battery.
I'm getting really frustrated at this point, is there actually a place where I can dispose of this lithium ion rechargeable battery before it blows up and starts a fire?

Fathers Custody Texas, what should dads document to protect their parenting time?
I am a dad with a 6 year old kid living in Tarrant County. My wife and I separated two months ago, but we have been splitting time back and forth between us. That changed, however, when I told her I was ready to go through with our separation. Now, she insists that our child should stay with her mainly because my job requires me to go to work earlier than she does. I have always dropped him off from school, taken him to the pediatrician, and become involved in soccer practices and other parenting activities, so it sounds strange to me to hear suggestions that I will be a “weekend parent now.” I want to avoid either keeping records about everything we do or showing up to court without anything on my hands. Has anyone else gone through this kind of situation here? What kind of records would be useful?

Resource recommendations please!
Hi all, I’m looking for advice and/or resources. I don’t want this to sound like one of those scammy posts but I do need help. I’m a regular lower middle class mom with a full time job. I’m so stressed about money and the upcoming holidays that I can’t think about it without crying. I’m not low income enough to qualify for any formal assistance but I am low income enough to have a maxed out credit card and have to sell items on marketplace to buy groceries with cash. What I’m asking is, are there any food banks, free meals, Christmas present assistance programs that you all know about? We’re not going to get evicted, but we are living on oatmeal and I could really just use some help. Please DM me if uncomfortable posting a resource.
Edit: thank you everybody 🙏

Help a brother out: someone in the Arlington area (Bardin/303) who wouldn't mind helping me catch a potential cheater..
Long story short.. I'm dealing with someone who has a record of this, though we've been through it and all things were revealed some time ago. But, patterns are patterns and we're back to disappearing from around 10:30-1:00am a few nights a week.
I'm looking for someone who might be interested in staking out a place around 10:30.. maybe 15-30 minutes. Taking pictures if seeing anything, etc..
I don't really want to get into details here, but would appreciate anyone who might be available and interested contacting me.
Thank you
Edit: Not asking for relationship advice here. I do realize and completely acknowledge that the trust issue, is mine to work out. But because of that, I'm not going to levy accusations at her simply because I have doubts. I would rather know, and have the evidence.
If you want to give relationship advice, then there are plenty of reddits where your expertise in psychology and relationships will be appreciated.

Sure would be nice to get both lanes of Cooper back north of I-30.
Not sure why the city is allowing the contractor building the new development where the golf course was drag their feet getting the entrances done and reopening both lanes. It's been several months now. It isn't like the city doing road construction, it's a private developer. And they did nothing for three months but kept the right lane closed.

Looking for potentially decreased dogs
Sorry for the sad title but I’m trying to get information looking for my dogs that got out yesterday. One is chipped and registered to my brother and he got a call saying she was found but we can’t trace the number. After many phone calls I got some info that someone saw them in this area on the highway. But they wouldn’t have sent crews to get them because they can’t go on the highway. I’ve called txdot but they haven’t reported any dogs in the past day. Is there any other service in Arlington/GP that would pick up potentially deceased animals?

PublicTransportation Just moved here - How do we organize ourselves so that we are on a path to getting public transportation in Arlington, Tx?
Public Transportation Rant
Hello! I just moved to Arlington, TX about a year ago from Dallas, TX. I've lived in Texas my whole life. I have to say I really love Arlington! The people are so nice and very welcoming. Lots of little small upcoming businesses. The only issue I see is that there is no public transportation. I know there is Arlington on Demand? I believe that's what it's called. But from what I hear it's unreliable, so I almost don't want to even really give it a shot.
From what I've read from past Arlington posts is that public transportation has been on the ballot about 3-5 times and every single time it's been rejected by the residents. Okay, fair. I suppose.
But from 2002 to now, how come it hasn't been on the ballot? It seems with how Arlington has grown and modernized in the last 25 years, why hasn't it come up again? I bet we would have a fighting chance to get it passed.
It also seems that a lot of residents would vote for it in my opinion. I've noticed that Arlington is very family oriented, but there are a lot of young people too. After all, UTA is literally right there. Students need to get their basic needs met too
Not everyone can afford to live on campus or right across campus.
It just seems to me that this is something that benefits everyone. Not just students, not just elderly people, but it could also help single parents that don't have funds to own a vehicle. Let's not forget it's gas, oil changes, state inspections, tires, car payment, and car insurance. At this point, I'd probably save more with a property tax increase. Then I could sell my car.
I don't know, I love Arlington! It just seems hard to get around, especially for how big this place is.
Would love your current thoughts on public transportation! I know maybe it's not for everyone, but from where I see it I would gladly vote for public transportation so that it would help someone else.
