Sports/Sportsball Dallas Mav Game

0 Upvotes

Hello all, just moved to the DFW in April. Is it worth seeing a Dallas Mavs game? Any one know a time of year where tickets are reasonable? Haven't seen a NBA game in ages! I know American Airlines Arena is in uptown, so don't know if it's worth going.

Relocating & housing Mixed family relocating for work. Would love honest feedback about Plano, Coppell, and Allen.

1 Upvotes

Hello! My family is relocating from Central Florida to DFW for work. I had the opportunity to visit for a weekend and have narrowed our search down to Plano, Coppell, and Allen.

I’m second-generation Cuban American, my husband is Black, and our elementary-aged son is a beautiful mix of both. We lean more liberal and are fully aware of the political climate in Texas. We’re relocating for work, so I’m hoping for insight into the cities/communities themselves rather than advice to avoid Texas altogether. 😂

I’ve been researching schools and neighborhoods, but demographics and ratings only tell me so much. I’d love to hear from people who actually live here, especially other interracial couples and multiracial families. Do you feel comfortable and welcomed? Have you been able to make friends and find your people?

For parents, what has your kids’ experience been like at school? Have they experienced racist comments or exclusion? If something happened, did the staff take it seriously and handle it well? I’d love to hear positive experiences too. I’m looking for an honest picture, whatever that looks like.

Are there particular neighborhoods or elementary schools you’d recommend? How do Plano, Coppell, and Allen compare in your experience? **Are there other areas we should consider** with strong schools and a welcoming, family-friendly community?

We’re excited about the move and want somewhere we can put down roots, build friendships, and raise our son feeling comfortable and proud of who he is. Thanks for anything you’re willing to share. 🤗

Feel free to DM me if you’d rather not post publicly!

Best locations for street photography of people?

1 Upvotes

I’m looking for a few locations for a class assignment where I need to photograph people in action. It can range anything from doing sports, exercising, working, etc, as long as it’s an area with a variety of people doing different things.

I would prefer to avoid downtown areas however I understand there are likely great locations there.

Food & Drink Cocktail Lounges?

2 Upvotes

I’m flying into Dallas for a weekend and am looking for a cute cocktail lounge / bar that takes reservations and plays decent music. I know a lot of these places do rnb on specific nights , but I’m looking for a Friday night vibe that I can also have a table to sit at. It doesn’t have to be full rnb just not like constant house or overly uppity vibes? Let me know if this exists 😂

Food & Drink Bars/Restaurant recommendations near(ish) to AT&T Stadium?

Giving some friends a ride to the concert tonight, I'm thinking on staying nearby and watch the Thursday Night Football game in the meantime before picking them up

Any recommendations within 15/20 minutes? Not looking to drive back to East Dallas then back again for them. My best option at the moment is LA Fitness 😅

Relocating & housing Apartment/Condo recs in Oak Lawn/Medical District

4 Upvotes

Hi, I will be starting a new job in the medical district and my husband works in Waxahachie. I'm curious to hear recommendations from real people about apartment complexes that they've had a great experience in in the Oak Lawn/ Medical District/Lovefield/even Uptown areas. I see such mixed reviews of so many apartments. We are pretty open as far as amenities and cost but would prefer to avoid any dark underground parking garages and prefer surface lots if possible. Open to any and all suggestions!
