Coming home to visit, bringing toddlers for the first time

The town has changed so much since I was little. Where is everyone going with their toddlers? We have a 2 and 3 year old who were born in the northeast and are going to struggle with the heat. We will spend some time at mom’s house and at her pool but will need to take them places where they can run free and be active. Still working around a midday nap.

Teens popping fireworks at The Beacon Recreation Center in front of APD

There was two Arlington PD units parked on the other end of the parking lot not doing anything about the many people popping fireworks. I personally dont have a problem with that its the not cleaning up I have a problem with. Is it legal? Its on Mansfield Webb Rd. Super surprised seeing AArlington PD basically just watching the show.

Looking for casual cyclists

Any other casual cyclists in Arlington looking for people to ride with?

I usually ride from Village Creek to River Legacy on Saturday mornings at around 12–14 mph. For me, cycling is about getting outside, enjoying the ride, and getting some exercise, not speed training.

Most of the cycling groups I’ve found consider 16+ mph a “casual” pace, which would be a personal best for me!

If you enjoy relaxed, no-pressure rides and wouldn’t mind stopping for coffee afterward occasionally, let me know. It would be great to find a few regular riding buddies.

Where to watch Mexico game?

Hey guys I won a competition and they are flying me out to Texas this weekend for the World Cup. Which means I will be there when Mexico plays. I wanted some recommendations of where would be a good sports bar or any spot where they will be showing the game. I’m from North Carolina and here we have different bars that are projecting it on the side of buildings.

Viva Mexicooooo

The massive corporate hospital complexes around here give me so much anxiety

I don't know how anyone is supposed to heal in these giant concrete mazes. Went with a family member to one of the big health systems off I-20 the other day and the whole place just feels so cold and industrial. You're basically treated like a barcode the second you walk through the sliding glass doors

When we were looking for specialized care a few months ago, it was so depressing realizing almost all the mental health facilities in the immediate area feel exactly like that, just sterile locked wards with zero personality. We ended up having to look way outside the city limits and found Eating Disorder Solutions just because we desperately needed a place that actually felt like a home instead of a clinical prison

I just hate how commercialized the whole medical industry has gotten around DFW. Every new clinic they build looks like a futuristic data center instead of a place meant for actual human beings. kinda makes the whole process of getting help so much more intimidating tbh. Anyone else get instantly stressed out just walking into these places?

Sorry another bbq post. Do 225/Hurtado sell out on weekdays?

Flying in Thursday afternoon for the game. I’ve seen the recs for either 225 or Hurtado, but it kinda seems like they sell out of food. Won’t actually be eating til 6ish, will it sell out by then? If I venture over the Terry Blacks downtown will that be a nightmare?

The corporate hustle culture around here is actually ruining people

honestly the work culture in the mid-cities right now is so toxic. my buddy has been doing logistics sales over near the highlands for a few years and it completely broke him. the expectation to just drink with clients every single night and survive on zero sleep is so normalized it's disgusting

he ended up having a massive breakdown last weekend. the health insurance runaround we had to deal with just to get him help was an absolute nightmare, literal hours on hold just getting bounced between departments while he was in an active crisis

We finally just drove him out of the Arlington bubble entirely down to discovery point retreat in waxahachie just so he could be somewhere quiet and actually disconnect from all the noise

im just venting because im exhausted tbh. driving back up 360 today just made me realize how fast and loud everything is here all the time. Please check on your friends who act like the grind is their entire personality, it usually hides a lot of dark stuff
