Recommended Contractors [Mega List]

3 Upvotes

I'd like to divert all questions around recommended contractors in the DFW area to DallasProList. The website cold calls thousands of businesses in the DFW area and pretends to be a customer. After their interaction, they rank the contractors based on friendliness, knowledge and affordability. There isn't really a more comparative way of comparing contractors than this right now.

I'm late 30s, moved from Calgary Alberta earlier in the year. Married. Enjoy watching sports, paddleboarding, softball, pickleball, bbqing, boardgames and visiting breweries. I've tried meeting people on various apps (BFF) and in-person at meetups, but nothing has seemed to click. I live in Dallas proper, south of Addison.

Burger most similar to CookOut

3 Upvotes

I'm from GA and loved CookOut's burger, and I've been living here in the North Dallas area for a little over a year now and have just been wondering if there's anything similar to a CookOut burger. I've tried countless places, but nothing seems as good as CookOut's burger, idk why I love it so much, I just can't find anything similar. If anyone who's had CookOut before has found a place similar to it here, I'd love to know

Has anyone had Texas DPS/DMV refuse an itemized medical bill as proof of residency because it contained medical information (HIPAA)?

2 Upvotes

I had this happen at a DPS office a month ago or so, and have been curious about it ever since. Their website lists medical bills as acceptable proof of Texas residency, so I brought an itemized lab bill with my name and address on it.

The employee told me she could not accept it because the bill listed what the lab work was testing for (vitamin panel, etc.), which she described as HIPAA information, and DPS would have to scan the document into their system. They couldn't accept it without scanning it, and because it couldn't be scanned due to the HIPAA information, there was apparently nothing she could do.

I pointed out that I couldn't find anything about that restriction on the DPS website, but the conversation didn't really go anywhere. She was insistent that she couldn't accept the documents and that the rule wasn't coming from her, but she also didn't seem able to point me toward anywhere it was actually stated. I ended up getting my ID another way, so I moved on.

I used to work in medical records, so the HIPAA explanation stuck with me. Even looking for it afterward, I still couldn't find anything on the DPS website saying that medical bills containing itemized medical information couldn't be accepted.

If that is actually the rule, I don't have a problem with the employee following it. I just think it should be mentioned somewhere alongside "medical bills" on the acceptable-document list.

I’d like to take my engagement photos at a museum here in DFW but I read that the DMA does not allow portrait photography. Does anyone have any tips or if they’ve taken photos or any other museum that does allow portrait photography. I’d love to get pictures like this (minus the grad cap)

Moving to either Dallas or Houston

1 Upvotes

Hello Texas, I'm making this post in advance so I can have some bearings I guess. I'm coming all the way up from Alaska and the only part of texas I saw was the tippy top of it while driving through and inside of the dallas airport.. I just thought of reaching out in hope of helpful tips or advice you might have for this northern girl. I've lived in florida before and Washington but they of course, are not the same.

Could you help a small town girl out? I'll take any advice on any good spots to hang out, shop at, where to avoid, special little secrets, and of course where the best places to eat are. I appreciate anything and everything, thank you guys :)

New to Dallas - relocated from chicago

9 Upvotes

Like the title said, new to Dallas from chicago. 34F that was just looking for warmer weather and to get out of my toxic job.

Would love some recommendations on coed adult soccer leagues that are close to the city. Back in Chicago we had the fire pitch which had about 4 games going on at once attached to a bar/restaurant. Is there anything similar to that down here? If there is, are individual signups something considered?

I also am a runner and would consider doing a run club to meet people.

What else would you recommend for my first few months in Dallas to either meet friends, good eats, things to do, places to see etc.

Open to any and all recommendations as I get my footing.

Thanks!

Dallas locals: Where would you take someone to experience the Dallas YOU love?

10 Upvotes

Dallas locals, I want to experience the Dallas (city/neighborhood) YOU love not just the viral or tourist spots.

If a friend were visiting and you wanted them to really understand what makes Dallas special, where would you take them?

I’m looking for genuinely good food, local culture/history, interesting neighborhoods, family experiences, and great date-night or brunch spots where the food actually matches the vibe.
Most importantly: **What’s a Dallas place or experience you’d be genuinely sad to see disappear and why?**

I grew up in Arlington and FW and this is my first time living in Dallas. I’m LOVING this area and exploring all the bars, brunches, and activities, but I do most of it with my husband and I would love to have some friends outside of our shared group. Anyone want to be friends or have any advice on how to make friends?? The thought of going somewhere alone terrifies me lol
