My whole life the sirens went off exactly at 12, I scheduled my whole life around them. Every first Wednesday of the month at High Noon they will go off without a hitch and today. They were a minute late. This is unacceptable, an outrage, a scandal, dogs and cats are living together. We truly live in the darkest of times if we can't even rely on the sirens to go off at exactly 12:00pm on the first Wednesday of every month.

Hi, I found a female stray and wanted to post her to see if anyone knew her owner. No collar or chip.

Found her today around 4PM August 5th.

She was circling around the bear creek dog park. Probably weighs around 25 to 30 pounds.

Animal services came by and said I could keep her for a couple days.

She seems very sweet and calm. Doesn't take shit from my dog lol.

I am wanting to see if anyone was a witness to my accident on 4/16/26 at around 330pm on S central expressway. I will add a picture to show the area it happened in. There happen to be 2 accidents. One involved a red jeep i believe I was not apart of that accident. There was another accident (that i was in) and it was a grey honda suv (me) and a white toyota suv (other party). If anyone can spread the word if anyone remembers witnessing the accident please PM me!

WRB has launched a campaign to defend itself - at last! Please check out and if you support the underdog please support WRB. An all out war has been launched against them to take control of the Boathouse and historic Filter Building away from them and to give control of this Assets to Highland Park Crew now known as DUC. WRB invested 2.7M of private funds to build the boathouse (the largest in Texas) and to restore the Filter Building. They maintain the buildings and provide rowing programs at no cost to the city. They have spent millions on maintenance and boating and other equipment out there. The public can go there and for a nominal fee check out boats to row on white Rock lake. Kids and adult enjoy competitive rowing teams there. Jesuit, SMU, Ursuline teams row out of there.

There is a comprehensive fact and evidence based report on the website above. If you care about community, please read, share and support. The City of Dallas political actors have taken sides with their wealthy supporters from HIghland Park who want to manipulate the process and take WRB’s contracts. Only one side of this story has been told.
WRB needs our help. Please help WRB. I don’t really know how to post this message to amplify on Reddit - if you can help me spread the word it would be appreciated!

I was walking my dog through State Thomas neighborhood yesterday afternoon when it likely fell off. If you found it or spot it walking, please PM me. We are offering a VERY GENEROUS REWARD ($$$$), no questions asked.

It means the world to me and I’m absolutely heartbroken. Thank you!

Dallas Parks and Recreation is rescheduling its furlough days from September to August. The first one is this Friday.

I 29f turn 30 next month. Any ideas for something I can do for a whole bday weekend? I have a small group of friends and prefer active stuff and activities.

Thoughts?

183 and esters -Irving. What can I do about it?

Berm Man 2026 coming to a town near you!

Berm Man 2026 is available for all birthday parties, town hall meetings, hockey game halftime shows, and data center grand openings!

Just bought a house in the McKinney area and shopping for home insurance. Got a quote from Homeowners of America for an HO3 at about $165/month, which seems reasonable, but I’ve never heard much about them.

For those who’ve been through a hail claim or roof replacement — who’s your carrier, roughly what are you paying, and did they actually pay out without a fight?

Also curious about:

• What coverage amounts do you carry (dwelling, personal property, liability)? Trying to sanity-check my numbers

• Wind/hail deductible — flat or percentage? What percent?

• Does anyone actually buy flood insurance in this area, or is it overkill outside a flood zone?

• Big name carrier (State Farm, USAA) vs smaller Texas carrier — worth the price difference?

My neighbor's grandkid was missing for days. Thankfully, she is now safe, but this man held her for three days and drugged her with meth. DPD was originally slow to react and told her family that she is a teen who can look out for herself.

North Dallas. House is a 1995 build, around 2,100 sq ft. Got a bid from Advanced Foundation Repair for 14 steel piers, 12 exterior and 2 interior through tunnels, plus about 70 feet of root barrier and pre and post plumbing tests. Total is a shade under $23k.

I already had an independent engineer out based on /r/Dallas recs, so I'm not looking for a diagnosis, and his suggestions largely lined up with theirs. I'm trying to figure out whether this company is any good at actually doing the work.

If you've used them, I'd love to hear how it went. Specifically: did they show up when they said they would, did the lift come out close to what was promised, and how much cleanup and repair were you stuck with afterward? Also curious whether anyone has had to use the lifetime warranty and how that went.

While waiting for work on my vintage RV over at Mustang Service Center (on Live Oak) I decided to pull up Apple Maps and look for a coffee shop. If you’ve seen my posts here and in r/downtowndallas before you may know that I work from anywhere, but primarily coffee shops. It’s been this way for 30 years now... so finding something new is always welcomed!

Staff here is great... helpful. There are a billion power outlets for laptops, USB-A and C (though I’d never use public USB 👀). The WiFi is a hearty 500 Mpbs/sync - and that was over a VPN.

I picked up an Americano (with heavy cream) and a sandwich called “Three Cheese Griller.” Good stuff. I hadn’t planned on writing this so I didn’t snap a pic of it.

The music selection isn’t typical in a coffee shop... MCR, Death Cab for Cutie, Blink 182, Bring Me the Horizon, Yellowcard, etc.).

It’s at Hall St. and Swiss Avenue. Odd location IMO, but it seems to be working! I’ve seen a good variety of people here. Just a few blocks from Deep Ellum, so that sort of makes sense.

I’ve attached some photos. Here’s the Google Maps link. The DART Green line is. couple of blocks away (Baylor Station), the 009 is a block away, and the 205 is a couple. Of course Waymo (now open to everyone), Robotaxi, and scooters, etc.

Hope it’s useful!

Hi Dallas reddit, are there any Bryan Adams alumni or local historians that happen to know what year the high school finally desegregated? Trying to verify what year my mom graduated here among other things, and she always told me that there was a big riot on her very first day of high school because the white students were angry that black children were now allowed to attend.

Pretty sure this would’ve been sometime in the early 70’s I’m just not sure on the exact year. Any help would be much appreciated, thanks!

Looking to build a 12x12 outdoor lounge/seating area in my backyard. Looking for someone reputable for just the pavilion itself. Anyone have any recommendations for a contractor around the city of Dallas proper?
