I am a third generation Indian American. Fully assimilated. My grandfather was born in Illinois in 1960. I was just told yesterday at an HEB by a bunch of men to go back to my country, a lot of them called me a ‘Jeet’ and continued to laugh at me. Mind you these were grown men in their late 20s. I’m a 19 year old college student at Collin and I have never experienced this in my life before. Since when did people start ganging up on minorities?

I know this is the new/current normal (and it’s only going to get worse), but the constant drones flying by in otherwise quiet neighborhoods is noise pollution I could personally do without.

Can’t be outside longer than 5 mins it seems without one whirring by overhead.

Does anyone have the footage of the man being removed by police during citizen input last night? It was removed from the official video.

Looks like the whole room is packed today...

For context on Lang:

"Jake Lang is a far-right political activist best known for his role in the January 6, 2021 attack on the U.S. Capitol. He became one of the more prominent figures tied to the riot after being accused of assaulting police officers during the chaos outside the Capitol, including allegations that he used a baseball bat and other objects against officers. Lang spent several years in jail awaiting trial before receiving clemency as part of Donald Trump’s broad January 6 pardons in 2025. Since then, he has tried to turn his notoriety into a political and online influencer career, promoting inflammatory rhetoric, conspiracy-driven politics, and increasingly extremist views. Critics have pointed to his repeated use of provocative anti-immigrant and anti-Muslim language, as well as his attempts to glorify or monetize the January 6 movement, as examples of how he continues to inflame political division rather than distance himself from the violence and extremism associated with the Capitol attack. "

My nephew will be coming into town in June for a foundational workout camp however it’s only 3x a week for about an hour. I’m looking for ideas on what 12 year olds do so I can keep him busy with something he would enjoy.

Display and Illumination

Hours: The flag is traditionally displayed from sunrise to sunset. It can be flown 24 hours a day if it is properly illuminated during the hours of darkness.

Weather: Do not display the flag during rain, snow, or wind storms unless it is an all-weather (nylon or polyester) flag.

I’ve been really enjoying the NBA playoffs and want to know the best place to watch games. The bar across the streets from me has the games on, but it’s usually pretty empty. Any suggestions?

Thanks for putting those new rules in place for mall safety.

HOWEVER, they have driven the cretin children to the Grandscape.

Come get y'all's kids.

My husband and I are moving to the Frisco(open to other north DFW areas too) area. We toured an apartment in Plano and left feel unsure now. We are now expanding our search to Frisco and other areas. We were hopping for a two bed (open to a one bed) that is under $1,800 base rent. We just want a place with no bugs, that is quiet, and clean place to live. I have looked at some of the reddit posts on this sub and some have had mixed reviews. I'm out if I see a review of roaches. So far we have found Stonebriar Pines. Does anyone have any recommendations? 😄

If you’re unfamiliar with “urbanism,” it's how inhabitants of urban areas, such as towns and cities, interact with the built environment. Positive urbanism inherently supports public transit and mixed use zoning, with an emphasis on making it easier to do everyday errands without needing a vehicle.

As a native Dallasite, I’ve noticed that there is quite a lack of this kind of infrastructure outside of very few places, which is crazy given the population size.

This doesn't apply to just DFW, but I’m working on a campaign to get local officials involved in supporting this kind of legislation forward. One small step in that is furthering the Build More Housing Near Transit Act. August is coming up, and if you want to get more involved in local politics, this is a great starting point.

this building looks sooo terrible.

Whoever approved this project should be fired. I can’t believe someone looked at this and thought it was a good idea.

It looks like public housing from some third-world country.

What a waste.... why not something like this...

So I lost one of my key fobs at work the other day. I called numerous locksmiths in the area it seems like they broker out a locksmith to come to you ? One guy called me back and I asked him how much and he said he needs to look at the truck and he will let me know. He shows up and proceeds to tell me $350 because he needs to get a new code $150 and then $200 for the fob. ( not OEM ) I tell him I’ve never heard of buying a new code. I already have a working key fob that has all the information. I told him no way, bro he got mad. Is there any real? Locally owned locksmiths in the area that will do an honest job.??

Hey everyone, saw that there have been a lot of disparaging comments about Rod Vilhauer on this forum, so I decided to share my perspective.

Before the May election, I didn’t think my individual vote would matter. But now that we’ve pushed this race to a runoff, it’s clear lots of us in Frisco are ready for change. In just the past two weeks, I’ve talked to lots of other Frisco parents who skipped the first round but now plan to show up and vote for Rod. I know more of you are out there and the momentum is happening.

As always, local politics gets toxic fast—just look at the ads against Rod in our Community Impact paper. Whoever wins, the other side will have assumptions about them, but I think we all want peace in our community regardless of the outcome. This isn't a vote based on hate or division, but about moving past complacency for a better Frisco.

If you want a change in direction for Frisco, Rod is the candidate who is against the current system. Here’s why I voted and will vote again for Rod on 6/13:

• Taxes: He will make better use of our tax dollars and ultimately lower them for residents, specifically by attracting corporate talent and headquarters.

• Infrastructure: He focuses on better roads and infrastructure capacity, not just adding more parks and tourism. Let’s walk before we run.

• Fiscal Integrity: He is the only candidate speaking out against fraud that drains our local and federal tax dollars; even if mostly a state issue, we can still be a squeaky wheel.

• Smart Development: He understands the math behind housing, rents, and why we are overbuilding millions of square feet of office space. I see a reckoning coming and don’t understand these empty suites.

• Cultural Preservation: He is taking a firm stand on maintaining our local community standards and preventing the “acceptance” push seen in neighboring cities like Wylie. I see what’s happening in the schools, and while my kids are too young to be impacted by their friend groups today, it speaks to the current trends.

I do have a few Indian friends and neighbors—some of whom are actually voting for Rod. They tend to agree that some bad apples are spoiling the whole bunch; while some candidates are willing to speak out on these tough topics, others choose to defend and look the other way.

Hope we can keep the comments respectful. I feel like I speak for many of us in Frisco. See you at the polls on June 13!

Note: If you aren’t from Frisco, no need for you to chime in. But hope you enjoy our parks!!
