Construction sign scratched my car!

On my way to school this morning a construction/caution sign was left on the floor and flew up and scratched my car. This happened going south on 360 and exiting on the park row exit. Can the city or state cover this for negligence? I have pictures of the scratches on my bumper as well as the dash cam footage.

Thousands of gallons of raw sewage filled my home while on vacation.

I came home from vacation to find my home filled with thousands of gallons of raw sewage coming up from the toilets. The city spent hours trying to make it stop. They had a block in the main city line. They are not taking any liability, neither is insurance. All my musical instruments are done for, was about to start recording an album the following day and those plans had to be scrapped. Now I’m left without a place to live and all of my family’s belongings destroyed.

Another (second) fire yesterday?

Driving by the closed Chick Fil A on Cooper & I-20 yesterday (around 3:30), there was a bunch of smoking coming onto Cooper, and workers in vests (CFA? construction?) standing around a fire in the parking lot.

I've tried to see if there was any information on what it was, or if something happened to that CFA, but anything I search for is now about the downtown fire (obviously a much bigger one). I would normally think it's just a small contained burn, but pretty much any fires are illegal right now.

Anyone else see this yesterday? Any ideas of what it was?

Firefighters battle four-alarm fire at Beirut Grill in Arlington

Video shows firefighters battling three-alarm fire at Arlington restaurant – NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth

Large fire breaks out at Arlington restaurant | FOX 4 Dallas-Fort Worth

Beirut Grill, Smash Toast damaged in 4-alarm fire in western Arlington | wfaa.com

The Arlington Fire Department is currently battling a 4-alarm fire at a building in the western part of the city.

Footage from Chopper 8 shortly after 6:30 p.m. Monday shows several fire engines surrounding the building, located at 2410 W. Abram St. The building itself is missing its roof, with fire rising up from the walls as well as large amounts of smoke.

WFAA spoke with the owner of Beirut Grill and confirmed that the restaurant, including Smash Toast, sustained significant damage. Both restaurants were closed at the time, so they are unaware of how the fire started.

Beirut Grill has been in business for more than 10 years.

AFD has confirmed the fire and says it will provide more info once it has been stabilized.

It is not yet clear if anyone has been injured or what caused the fire.

Can someone explain why Arlington home prices and desirability dont match the northern suburbs despite more desirable lifestyle amenities?

I never understood why people are not rushing to move to and live in Arlington. It has Six Flags, big shopping centers, Cowboys, Rangers, Texas Live!, close to the airport, between Dallas and FW, a major university ... like it has a lot going on. However, Richardson, Plano, Frisco, Denton, McKinney, Celina, Prosper, with less going on are much more popular and desirable ... especially for families.

The median home price in Arlington, TX right now is about 335K but in the northern suburbs it's over 500K. What's up with that? The only thing I can think of is the larger population of multi-family housing in the Arlington area but it's not even all over Arlington.

Hundreds of Arlington residents are watching their backyards disappear because of stormwater creeks

From KERA:

>It’s a situation Adnan Rajib said needs to be addressed immediately, before it becomes a crisis.

Rajib is an engineer, hydrologist and director of the Hydrology & Hydroinformatics Innovation Lab at UT Arlington who lives in South Arlington. He's seen the erosion in his neighborhood.

While the issues created by erosion are largely unseen by most who live and work in or visit the city, in many cases behind buildings and in backyards, Rajib warned that Arlington needs to address them immediately.

“We are reaching a point of no return where these streams and these creeks no longer exist unless we protect them and restore them,” Rajib said. “There will be severe flooding and erosion in the near future, and the severity is such that even a less than exceptional storm can cause a lot of damage."

Venue fee?! I thought taxes covered this

I went to the rangers gamr and order some food like I done in the past many times. I usually don't get a receipt but today i did and saw a venue fee!! Why are Arlington taxes so high and they still have to ask for more?!

How long have they been doing this?!

Imagine thousands of people attending and they all buy something and get hit with this venue fe?! Are those thousand of dollars enough? When will they stop

Looking For Day Work

Hello! Im currently in college and my tuition payment is due this Wednesday in order for me to return to classes. Im 19 and in college so my financial situation being stretched thin is nothing new to me, but unfortunately this time it's a bit too far stretched. I am unfortunately $200 short of fully paying my school balance, as my cars transmission went out on me the other night and I had to spend the rest of my money on a tow. I am not asking for handouts, just simply if anyone knows anyone who needs any sort of help or assistance with a job that could possibly make this amount?? Any sort of information is greatly appreciated thank you
