r/Richardson

I’m looking for things in Richardson or in the DFW area that would appeal to kids who love vintage or old times things.

Like for example in Abq there is a 50’s/Route 66 themed diner and they love it.

They love old cars and they are interested in WWII, anything from the past from an old telephone to an old war plane gets them excited.

I was thinking about McFlys pub because one of them really likes back to the future but I was hoping for a bit more kid friendly than a pub.

Also thinking about the Magic Time Machine but need more options besides restaurant - the closer to free the better!! Thank you.

I’m trying to go to the Breckenridge Park for the fireworks. Can you suggest me what is the best place to parking? I am planning to go around 730 in the evening. Would really appreciate the help. Thank you.

We are cleaning out our father’s garage and throwing away a ton of books. They are sitting on the curb at 1502 N Cheyenne Drive.

The books have been in moving boxes in a garage since 1983. Some are in great condition. Some need to be destroyed. You may find silverfish, rat dropping, etc.

The books themselves are all over the place. My mother was a polymath and the titles reflect that fact. Some may even be worth a few bucks.

If you do drive by to peruse, I humbly request that you be a nice and considerate human and not make a huge mess. Please make sure nothing is left lying outside of boxes and do not destroy the boxes. Please. Otherwise an elderly person will have to clean it all up.

Thank you.

My mom is in her 60's and I was looking to see if there are any deaf groups/communities she could join? She's been lonely and all her deaf friends are back in another state. It could also be a hard of hearing group, she wears a hearing aid

Hi! May be a long shot, but is there any fun-loving/passionate bikers out there that wouldn't mind teaching or going over the "baby" basics of riding a motorcycle before I commit to a beginner's class....?

Hey everyone,
I recently moved to Richardson and I’m looking to connect with people who enjoy playing guitar.

I’m still a beginner player with an electric guitar. I’ve been learning on my own and can play some songs, basic solos, and chords, but I’d like to get better at improvisation, jamming with others, rhythm playing, and generally becoming a more well-rounded guitarist.

I’m curious if there are:
- Local guitar jam groups
- Open jam sessions
- Beginner-friendly music meetups
- Guitar classes focused on playing with others
- Any musicians looking to jam casually

I’m mostly interested in blues, classic rock, rock, and similar styles, but I’m open to exploring other genres as well.

If you know of any groups, venues, classes, Discord/Facebook communities, or regular meetups in the Richardson/Dallas area, I’d appreciate any recommendations.

Thanks!

Why is it so hard or what am I doing wrong? Just moved here from East Dallas and while they don’t do much right over there, trash pickup was usually painless. But every week, twice a week I either put my trash out the night before (which looks fucking ugly btw, like your driving up and down the ally and you see all these bags and the items inside) then the rodents rip it up at night. Trash truck rolls up before 7am (usually) and when I get home I have to go back out to the ally with a bag and pick up all the shit that fell off the bags and spilled into the ally.

I thought about buying my own plastic trash can to use but apparently that is a no-go and the trash man won’t pick it up. I’ve also thought about setting it out the morning of but that’s always a miss since I’m running around getting myself and our daughter ready for the day.

They also don’t provide any bins so now I’m storing trash bags in a 50 gallon bin in my garage (lovely being in there in a hot summer day)

How does everyone here handle this?

Quick background: my girlfriend and I live full time in Montana (we're used to a much cooler and drier climate) but are visiting my parents who live in Richardson for the next month. What are some activities/things to do in the area for a couple of 23 year olds?

I will have access to fishing gear while there, so if there are any good spots nearby to fish then please let me know.

We're both pretty outdoorsy, but find the heat to be unbearable for most outdoor activities that require more movement than fishing. We're not heavy drinkers by any means, but also aren't sober so are definitely down to check out bars and other alcohol-adjacent activities.

Thank you in advance!

Edit: more details that should've been included.
