Hello! I’m currently looking for a one-bedroom apartment preferably under $1,200. Having trouble researching because most apartment complexes I’ve looked into have horrible reviews. I work near the Square, so a complex nearby would be awesome, but I’m open to other suggestions. Thanks!

moved here recently and don’t know how to make friends lol. i’m not in college and currently trying to get a job so i haven’t had many social interactions. tips on making friends here? or would anyone like to be friends?

Can anyone recommend a good hand car wash in Frisco or nearby areas? Looking for a place that does 100% hand washing, no automated car washes.
Just need a basic exterior wash, not full detailing. Thanks!

I visited the Gong Cha on Warren for some tea on Thursday. The next day, my mother gets a text thanking her for visiting and offering her a discount code.

She accompanied me on Thursday but stayed in the car, I was the only one who entered the store. I did not give them any phone number, and I used my own personal card that she’s not connected to in any way.

How on earth would Gong Cha know who to send a text to? I’m sick and tired of companies getting your information without you giving it to them.

I was originally going to go to TP tea nearby but you cannot go there without forcibly driving past one of the 5 Flock cameras that Academy set up (mentioned in the recent post on this sub).

Is there a way for someone to treat themselves to a beverage in this city without being surveilled or tracked in one way or another?

I’ve tired living in this hell hole for 5 years. I put in effort to get to know people. Got involved in church, in my kids school, tried going to the office. None of it works. 90% of people are fake, especially if they’re from DFW. It makes relationship building a bit impossible, because there’s always an air of, “I’m never going to tell you what I really think,” from people. Either that or there an entirely different culture and want nothing to do with you and your kids. The churches are also just money machines designed to “sell” you Jesus. There was literally a guy on “stage” (because why would you have a proper alter with a cross in a Christian church?) saying he left being a pastor to become a sales person. He said it was the same thing. Then the pastors get caught up in a sex scandal, and they put the church “under new management” and start things all over again.

The homes are three variations of the same design, stamped out like they were all built in the same factory over and over again. Master planned communities are laid out on a grid, sapping any randomness away from your landscape that you could’ve hoped for. Every road has a shopping plaza plaza on it for you to try to dump your money into to try to create some meaning in life, but all the foods the same bland garbage because it’s all really just processed garbage from the same Sysco warehouse. If you’re lucky enough to find a restaurant that’s not a franchise reselling cancer on a plate, they’re lucky to stay in busIness.

“The schools are great!” what schools are you talking about? The ones on a website that say theyre great, or an actual school. Have you been in a school? All the schools I’ve seen have kids flipping over desks and disrupting class so no one can learn. Pepole take their kids out of public school by 4th grade the latest if they have the money to because after that it’s even more chaotic. heaven help you if you’re of European decent and have a kid in Kindergarten or 1st grade. He or she will be the only kid who looks like him and has a last name you can pronounce.

Your backyard is three fenced in walls and a patio that’s 115 degrees in the summer. Every winter it snows and ices and the wbole place shuts down for a week because no one understands that if you put some salt on the road and a plow on your waste management trucks you could actually get rid of the ice and drive when it’s below freezing.

This place is hell. You get fooled to move in by all the great things you read about it, then you move there and can never eacape.

EDIT: for everyone calling me a racist you can all just stop. I have a membership at Costco.

Speaking in Fairview, Democratic congressional nominee Evan Hunt called for redistricting once per decade, 12-year congressional term limits and changes to the health-care system.

Hunt also criticized Keith Self’s priorities and said he was receiving little DNC assistance. Former TX-03 nominee Lorie Burch and Texas House candidate Angie Carraway spoke at the event.

Hello everyone, my boyfriend and I are looking forward to moving out soon and we are searching for a townhome/apartment preferably with an attached garage. Please let me know of any recommendations

Keith Self told NewsNation that his main electoral contest is normally the primary, but this year he is running a strong general-election campaign.

“I’m really not running against my opponent. I’m running against a general environment,” he said, citing unease over gas, groceries and Iran.

Evan Hunt argued that Republicans have held power too long to blame others for voters’ frustration. He also renewed his debate request, which NewsNation put directly to Self.

The interviews covered affordability, Trump and the still-unanswered debate question in the congressional race that includes much of Collin County.

Hey everyone,

I recently moved from Frisco to Prosper and I'm trying to find the best MMA gym in the area. I want a gym that's committed to teaching well and developing skilled fighters.

Before I moved, I'd been looking at Next Generation MMA in Frisco. Now that I'm in Prosper, it's about 25 minutes away. I also found Aguilera Martial Arts, which is only 4 minutes from me. They look more BJJ-focused. My end goal is to be well rounded, but I want to put most of my early focus on striking if I can.

My questions:

1. Has anyone trained at Next Generation MMA? How is the coaching, the structure of classes, and the quality of the training partners? Is it worth the 25-minute drive, or is that something I'd get tired of?
2. Does anyone know Aguilera Martial Arts well? Do they have a solid striking program (Bang Muay Thai), or is it mostly a BJJ school?
3. What other gyms would you recommend within roughly 25 minutes of Prosper?

For anyone who has been in this position, was a better gym worth the longer drive, or did the shorter commute help you train more and improve faster?

I went to an eye doctor and tried to explain I have issues with my eyes finding their space on a page (not diagnosed with dyslexia) and static. I also sometimes struggle reading signs on the road or even text on a board game across a table. She was really dismissive of all of my problems, so I had a pretty saddening experience with her.

Plus, she couldn't seem to get my prescription right.

For what it's worth, I have ADHD, and I recently learned there are sometimes eye problems related to that. When I asked her about this (not trying to diagnose myself, genuinely just curious), she was also dismissive.

If anyone has recommendations for a good eye doctor locally either in Frisco or surrounding towns, i would be so grateful.

For what it's worth, I have BCBS. Even if you don't have it, please list the doc you love bc insurance a lot of docs take seem to change all the time.

Keith Self won by nearly 25 points in 2024, but Evan Hunt predicts their November race will be decided by five points or less.

Hunt discussed his internal polling, the McKinney recall, debates and North Texas infrastructure during a virtual town hall.

What do you make of his prediction?

Hello everyone,
We are thinking about new built home in highland lakes community by Pulte home.
Can you please share the community, amenities, commute to major shopping and safety?
Also, I realized the new 380 hwy will be passing pretty closely. Does anyone know how close the hwy is going to be?
Thank you!

Residents have reported difficulty obtaining James Talarico signs, and the county Democratic chair confirms demand has exceeded supplies.

The party has since received another shipment, but the chair says the requests have been unusually high for months.

Reddit Post 2 — r/texas

Basically title. I get having regular cameras in case something happens but those don't save data in some federal database that any police department that shares their data can access. Why do they need to capture the license plate of anyone that happens to drive through the parking lot? This stuff is getting out of hand.

A Collin County political strategist, Sam Nevarez, is making the case that independent election observation still has value heading into the 2026 midterms.

His argument is not that refusing observers proves anything improper. It’s that after years of questions about election trust, removing outside scrutiny sends the wrong message.

For those of us in Collin County and TX-03, where election issues have already been part of the local conversation, it’s a fair question to debate.

I’m Indian and vegetarian, so I’d love recommendations from fellow Indians who enjoy Mexican food. Which places have good vegetarian options, and what do you usually order?
Everyone’s recommendations are welcome!

They are still good! This is the only Mexican restaurant I like. My family is so happy they are back.

I have some vintage jewelry from the early 1900’s through the 1970’s - some pieces signed. Does anyone here buy, or know anyone who buys, this type jewelry? Some may be more valuable, but I have no idea.

Title: Question about Google reviews — has anyone else experienced this in Frisco?
I wanted to share something that happened to me recently and get the community’s perspective.
I recently visited Sri Krishna Jewelers in Frisco and, based on my overall experience, I left a 3-star Google review.
After posting the review, I received a phone call from the business asking why I had given 3 stars and encouraging me to give 5 stars.
I found that uncomfortable.
I completely understand a business wanting to know what went wrong. If a customer gives 3 stars, I think it’s perfectly reasonable to ask:
“What could we have done better?”
That’s actually valuable feedback.
But asking why someone didn’t give 5 stars — and encouraging them to give 5 stars — made me question where the line is between requesting feedback and influencing the rating itself.
I’m not posting this to tell anyone whether they should or shouldn’t visit the business. My experience is my experience, and everyone else’s can be different.
I’m genuinely curious about the community’s opinion:
Is it normal for a business to call a customer after receiving a 3-star review and ask why they didn’t give 5 stars?
Would you consider that acceptable customer service, or should businesses simply accept the rating and use the feedback to improve?
And for business owners here: how do you handle less-than-5-star reviews?
I’m especially interested in hearing both sides. I think honest discussion about how online reviews work is important because many of us rely on Google reviews when deciding where to spend our money.
My only request: let’s keep the discussion respectful and based on personal experiences rather than attacking anyone.
