I’m curious what people here think.

Irving/Las Colinas is kind of in the middle of everything: Dallas, DFW Airport, offices, apartments, restaurants, parks, trails, and a lot of people moving in and out.

But does that actually make it easier to build friendships/community as an adult, or does it still feel like people mostly keep to themselves?

I’m working on The DFW Friendship Project, a small independent research project about how adults in DFW build friendships, find community, and where connection gets stuck.

If you live in or near Irving, I’d love to hear your perspective.

Also curious here: what has helped you feel connected in Irving, or what makes it hard?

my friend went missing in the dallas/irving area back in may. there’s been a national missing persons report but no updates have been given. he was tracked on security cameras for a bit but ditched his phone and hasn’t been seen. his name is eli vance, he might be going by vadym. he came from long beach california and got there on may 18th. dark blonde/brown hair. green/blue eyes. facial hair. might be saying his parents kicked him out. if you have met him or come across him please just let us know he’s alive. no one wants to force him to go back home or do anything. everyone just wants to know that he is alive and doing okay there. he had some calls to texas numbers so hopefully something anonymous like this we can just find out if he is doing okay and is alive.

Hi all, I am looking for a decent place to view the finals with my wife and kid. Any suggestions?

Two police cars were speeding and was turning on red light at MacArthur-Kinwest. The ones who should obey the laws are breaking the law. If it were us, we would have got two tickets at once. If they were going on for an emergency call, they should turn on the siren, but there is no siren on. 😂😂😂

Does anyone know of small companies that would be looking for IT people in Irving?
I graduated with a comp sci degree and am still looking for jobs, and outside of the big companies, I'm struggling to find the smaller ones in Irving. If anyone has any info, I would love to hear about it.

I’ve been out of work for over a year. I’m really into entertainment: comedy, acting, voiceovers, copywriting, etc. Hell, it would be cool to work in music store or a video game store. If anyone can help me out here, I’d appreciate it. I’d also be interested in getting trained in construction.

I'm looking for a referral to a good and affordable shop that can do some body repair and paint on two classic F150s that I have.

One is just door panel rust patch and then clear coat. The other needs sheet metal replaced in the bed and paint the whole thing.

Can someone help with some apartment recommendations?

Hi, I'm a new grad and I will be moving to Dallas in a month or so. I am looking for apartments, but I am not familiar with the area. Rough criteria includes:

-Budget $1500 (give or take 100 for parking, have a car)

-1 bed 1 Bath

-Has A/C

-wood floor or non carpet floring ideally (bedroom carpet is fine)

-modern finishes if possible

-allows pet (1 cat)

-hopefully safe enough (some level of crime is to be expected in a city, I guess?)

-decent management if possible (most issue of bad reviews seems to stem from management, maybe idk?)

-my workplace is within a rough 5 min radius of Irving Mall

If anyone has any recommendations for apartments please list them below. Thank You!

Hi all! I've found the perfect home for me and my little one. However, it's zoned for Irving ISD and I've heard a lot of mixed reviews on that school system. My little one is 3 and based on the school locator, he will be zoned for Kinkeade Early Learning and Davis elementary school. Anyone here know a lot about those schools? Am I able to get them enrolled in another local school district? I don't understand how school districts work and I don't want to place him into a school that won't set him up for success. TIA!

Hi all! I’m a newly-barred attorney based here in DFW. My family has been running a small boutique law firm here in DFW for over 30 years. We specialize in drafting wills and associated estate planning documents, probating estates, entity formations, and establishing living trusts. While the rest of my family is looking towards retirement, slowing the business down, I am at the outset of my career and eager to get out into the world

While we’ve been operating primarily out of Arlington, we’re looking to offer our services in the surrounding areas. If you, or anyone you know is needs help with planning what to do with your estate after you pass (as we all do eventually), or you just have a business idea and need help setting it up, please feel free to shoot me a DM!

Thanks y’all!

I left my wallet on a shopping cart inside target today. It’s a long shot.

Nobody turned it in. It’s a light blue coach wallet.

I'm looking for recommendations for a restaurant for a group of 14 next Thursday. Looking for something upscale or higher-end, with a semi-private dining option, if possible. Open to any cuisine, but since everyone is visiting from out of state, a restaurant that offers a Texas dining experience would be a plus. Also, I'll be in town for awhile if anyone has suggestions for unusual things to do :) Thank you!

Hello! I am looking for 4-6 months car rental in Irving.

Please give me recs for affordable bag repair in Irving and around. It would be great if I could get an estimate of the repair cost too! Thank you

Just moved here from AZ and it’s honestly been pretty lonely whenever i’m doing anything besides working. i’m really looking to make friends who are similar in age to me (21) and have similar interests to mine, here in irving. I like cars, games, anime, kpop.

If there are any spots here that cater to people like that, please let me know as well! Thanks.
