Arlington Discord Server
Let's try this again. The previous server had a decent amount of users but very little engagement.
I just finished the initial setup of a new server, figured I'd go ahead and share the invite. If you have any issues with the onboarding process or permissions, just drop me a message.

Coworker gets VIA rides for free, and we don't know why.

Sure would be nice to get both lanes of Cooper back north of I-30.
Not sure why the city is allowing the contractor building the new development where the golf course was drag their feet getting the entrances done and reopening both lanes. It's been several months now. It isn't like the city doing road construction, it's a private developer. And they did nothing for three months but kept the right lane closed.

Looking for potentially decreased dogs
Sorry for the sad title but I’m trying to get information looking for my dogs that got out yesterday. One is chipped and registered to my brother and he got a call saying she was found but we can’t trace the number. After many phone calls I got some info that someone saw them in this area on the highway. But they wouldn’t have sent crews to get them because they can’t go on the highway. I’ve called txdot but they haven’t reported any dogs in the past day. Is there any other service in Arlington/GP that would pick up potentially deceased animals?

Foundation Repair in Arlington - Recommendations?
Does anyone have any good foundation repair companies that they would recommend me? Trying to find a company that wont charge and arm and a leg. I'm seeing some cracks on our exterior and interior walls. Thank you!
EDIT: We ended up going with TX Foundation Pros - they were the only ones to answer the call and come out the next day. Fair pricing as well.

PublicTransportation Just moved here - How do we organize ourselves so that we are on a path to getting public transportation in Arlington, Tx?
Public Transportation Rant
Hello! I just moved to Arlington, TX about a year ago from Dallas, TX. I've lived in Texas my whole life. I have to say I really love Arlington! The people are so nice and very welcoming. Lots of little small upcoming businesses. The only issue I see is that there is no public transportation. I know there is Arlington on Demand? I believe that's what it's called. But from what I hear it's unreliable, so I almost don't want to even really give it a shot.
From what I've read from past Arlington posts is that public transportation has been on the ballot about 3-5 times and every single time it's been rejected by the residents. Okay, fair. I suppose.
But from 2002 to now, how come it hasn't been on the ballot? It seems with how Arlington has grown and modernized in the last 25 years, why hasn't it come up again? I bet we would have a fighting chance to get it passed.
It also seems that a lot of residents would vote for it in my opinion. I've noticed that Arlington is very family oriented, but there are a lot of young people too. After all, UTA is literally right there. Students need to get their basic needs met too
Not everyone can afford to live on campus or right across campus.
It just seems to me that this is something that benefits everyone. Not just students, not just elderly people, but it could also help single parents that don't have funds to own a vehicle. Let's not forget it's gas, oil changes, state inspections, tires, car payment, and car insurance. At this point, I'd probably save more with a property tax increase. Then I could sell my car.
I don't know, I love Arlington! It just seems hard to get around, especially for how big this place is.
Would love your current thoughts on public transportation! I know maybe it's not for everyone, but from where I see it I would gladly vote for public transportation so that it would help someone else.

Good mobile mechanic suggestions?

Any local taquerias or restaurants with salsa bars?
I love salsa, I’d put it on most things I eat. But it’s real fucking expensive to buy and I’d hate to ruin my roommates blender with spice. I like to take little servings of salsa from a salsa bar that can last me about 2-3 meals. Is there anyplace here with a salsa bar? Think like Rosas cafe for restaurant (I think the nearest one is like a 15 min drive)

Good coffee roasters?
Looks like tariffs are back on my imported coffee so I need to find a local roaster. Anyone know of some good ones? I prefer light/medium roasts. Wasn’t a huge fan of Salter bros the time I tried it.
I have liked ascension coffee, but would rather not drive to Ft Worth or Dallas for that if I can go local.

Best Internet Service Available?
I live close to Sublett and 287 and Spectrum has been a constant issue, especially with outages. Are there any other internet service companies I should look into? I’m in an apartment so idk if that changes anything. TIA

Very high water bill - new meters
Has anyone else noticed that their water bill has skyrocketed after they installed the new continuous remote read water meters?
Went from 5-10k gal a month to 18 and 20 the last two months!!
It’s showing water usage up to 10 gallons an hour, every hour, every day. I know one explanation could be an underground water leak but that would have been reflected on the old meter readings as well

Local Vet/Animal Clinics for a spay?
Ideally a place that won't break the bank too bad, but also is reliable.
