Convince me into moving to Rowlett

We are currently house shopping and we are seeing some great houses near waterview. My hesitation are the schools. I know that Garland is school of choice, but how hard is it to get into the top schools within the ISD?

Also for those who commute to downtown Dallas, how is it? Currently with school out, it looks manageable.

Playground Dads: Casual dad meetup at Hat Creek Burger Company (kids play, dads hang out) 6/27 @ 5pm

I'm Steven, and I started Playground Dads because I realized I couldn't find a place where dads could just meet other dads while the kids played.

The idea is simple.

Bring your kids. Grab some food. Hang out. No agenda, no pressure, and no awkward activities. Just a chance to meet other dads who are in the same stage of life.

This Saturday we're meeting at Hat Creek Burger Company in Rowlett. They have burgers, beer, and a playground, so the kids can burn off some energy while we get to know each other.

I meant to post this here sooner, but if you see this in time, come join us.

📅 Saturday, June 27
🕔 5:00 PM

Whether you've lived here your whole life or just moved to the area, you're welcome. Hope to see some of y'all there. 👊

Son was hit while riding his bike on Miller/Smartt

My adult son was ridding his bike home from his job when he was hit while crossing the intersection of Miller and Smartt. Lady in a white SUV, possibly a Ford, was on Smartt at the stop and my son was on Miller. She attempted to beat him out but hit him instead. She gets out, says something to the effect of "you're OK," and leaves the scene. The collision knocked off the front license plate from the vehicle but she collected it and left.

Meanwhile, he has road rash, wrist and knee pain, and some other cuts and bruises. And needless to say, the bike is jacked up.

I'm asking if anyone may have witnessed this, possibly have dashcam or Ring video, to please reach out to me or Rowlett PD ​to help them with the investigation. ​Thanks.

Edit - forgot to mention this happened around 3:30 - 4:00 PM.
