r/Dallas

Anyone know if any Mazda dealer offer online discount prices for local pickup? need some parts and trying to save the shipping cost and time.

I'm either looking for a place I can go to to play some volleyball, or like a social group that plays volleyball regularly. Im not amazing but I'm decent I think.

We all know how common it is for drivers to run red lights in Dallas. I've almost been hit a few times, and I know people who have been T-boned because of it. I have dashcam footage of a driver running a red light a full 3 seconds after it turned red. I hate to be a tattletale, but I'm tired of these people getting away with this potentially dangerous behavior.

What can I do with the footage?

Wtf? I’ve tried paying via my bank account too and it still wants to charge me a convenience fee.

I’ve tried calling the City of Dallas, but every time the call drops so I emailed them waiting for a response.

I can understand if they don’t want to pay credit card fees. But this payment system is what they’ve selected so at least waive the charges for payments made via bank account. We shouldn’t have to go back 40 years ago and pay via check in the mail.

Sounds like they are trying to pass along more of their bill from the payment system to the consumer. Fuck that dude.

There are tons of great authentic street tacos around Dallas, and they are absolutely delicious, but i'm weirdly craving in the other direction this time

Shops like Torchys, Velvet Taco, Tacodeli, and other less authentic more gimmicky places. What is your favorite? The best item on their menu?

I am seeking Dallas's opinion on best local bank options.

Money is direct deposit and it is rare I need to walk into a branch.

My small "local" bank doesn't really give a crap about serving their customers and I can't get basic things like a Notary stamp without a six step pre-approval process because their staff is so poorly trained including on things like opening and moving over a retirement account so...

Dallas who do you use? Who do you love? Please for the love of God tell me who to avoid.

A few months ago I shared an initial version of a Dallas police active incidents map I built, and some of y’all gave helpful feedback. I’ve made a pretty significant round of updates since then, both to the app itself and the infrastructure behind it, so I wanted to reintroduce it here for anyone who may find it useful:

https://tlab.dev/police-map

The basic idea is still the same: it takes publicly available Dallas police active call data and puts it into a cleaner, easier-to-use map interface. Instead of digging through a city data table, you can quickly see active police dispatch incidents around Dallas, where they are generally located, what type of call they are, and how activity is spread across the city.

I’ve also kept the Dallas-focused tools around it, including the live incident map, active call details, mobile-friendly layout, and the local Reddit feed/context so it’s easier to see what people in the area are talking about when something is happening nearby. The newer work has been more about making the whole thing faster, more stable, and more usable on phones, especially when there’s more traffic or more active incidents showing at once.

I’m not trying to spam the sub with it, but since it’s Dallas-specific and some people seemed to find the first version useful, I figured it was worth sharing the improved version. Feedback is welcome, especially if there’s something that would make it more useful for people who live or work in Dallas.

Howdy, folks!

This may be an impossible ask, but was hoping for some recs for some boarding facilities for my dog as I plan summer vacations. Unfortunately, we're not really well setup for a dog sitter or we'd go that route. Ideally it would fit the following criteria:

• Good for a somewhat anxious large dog (not aggressive, just needs her space and attention)
• Has a healthy balance of play time with small groups, alone time, and walks/outdoor time
• Is in Dallas proper; I live in the Lakewood area, tried Yardstick once and was not impressed. Don't mind driving across the highway for somewhere good, but would prefer to not have to drive out to the 'burbs if possible.

Would love to hear about y'all positive experiences!

Anyone that has been before, do they allow strollers and have mom friendly locations for breastfeeding/diaper changes?

Thanks for the responses ahead of time!
