Downtown Dallas skyscraper faces big shakeup

A landmark Dallas skyscraper is about to change hands after its owner decided to hand it over to the lender, unable to keep up with $230 million in debt. This 52-story building, once the First National Bank Tower, was transformed into luxury apartments, offices, and the Thompson Hotel just a few years ago with help from $100 million in city tax credits. For now, tenants aren’t affected, but it’s a huge moment for downtown—especially with high interest rates and dropping property values. What do you think this means for the future of Dallas’s city center? #RealEstate #Dallas #Community

Highland Park’s Mushroom House is history

The iconic Mushroom House in Highland Park, once dismissed as a neighborhood eyesore, has been demolished—ending an era for local architecture lovers. Built in the late ‘90s by Tom Workman, the whimsical home grew from controversy to beloved oddity over the years. Now, with luxury builders moving in, the landscape is set to change again. Some pieces were salvaged, but unique features like the copper roof are lost for good. This really makes you wonder: Should Park Cities do more to protect its architectural gems, or is change just part of life here? #RealEstate #HighlandPark #Dallas

Dallas suburbs could leave DART—what’s next?

Four Dallas suburbs are seriously considering pulling out of DART, the region’s largest public transit system, and it could leave thousands stranded. For people who don’t drive or can’t afford a car, this isn’t just an inconvenience—it’s a crisis. With Plano, Irving, Farmers Branch, and Highland Park threatening to withdraw, DART could lose major funding, just as Dallas is about to host the FIFA World Cup. Fewer buses and trains mean more traffic, more pollution, and fewer options for everyone. If you rely on public transit, how would this impact your daily life? Let’s talk about what this means for our community. #Transportation #Dallas #PublicTransit

Dallas hotel worker fired after ICE TikTok

A young Dallas woman lost her job at the Hilton Anatole after warning people on TikTok about ICE agents staying at the hotel. Gia, who worked for a third-party valet company, said she was more worried about families being separated than about keeping her job. Her video quickly went viral, sparking outrage and calls for a boycott of the hotel. The situation highlights the real tension between local communities and ICE, especially with recent high-profile incidents. How do you feel about employees sharing this kind of information online? Should workers risk their jobs to warn others? #Entertainment #TVSeries #Dallas

Dental care just got cheaper in Dallas

Getting quality dental care in Dallas just became a lot more affordable. Texas A&M’s College of Dentistry on Gaston Avenue has scrapped those hefty initial deposit fees for new adult patients. Now, you only pay $120 for registration, a screening, and X-rays—and if you’re not accepted as a patient, you pay nothing at all. That’s nearly $200 in savings right off the bat, on top of already discounted care. This move is a big step toward making oral health more accessible for everyone in our community. How do you think this will impact dental care in Dallas? #Education #College #Dallas

How one Dallas pup found hope at last

Seeing Martin transform from a terrified, frozen shelter dog to a playful, tail-wagging pup is a reminder of how powerful a little belief and kindness can be. For nearly 50 days, Martin hid from the world, overwhelmed by the noise and chaos of Dallas Animal Services. It wasn’t until a volunteer photographer and caring staff took extra steps—literally carrying him outside—that Martin finally felt safe enough to show his true self. Now, he’s learning, growing, and greeting visitors with a wag. Have you ever seen a shy animal blossom with just a bit of patience? #Pets #Dallas #AdoptDontShop

Coyotes caught on camera near White Rock Lake

Four coyotes casually strolled through a Dallas driveway near White Rock Lake, caught on a neighbor’s security camera this week. It’s not just a wild story—January kicks off coyote mating season, so sightings like this are actually pretty normal around North Texas, especially near creeks and trails. Wildlife officials say don’t panic: coyotes are just passing through, not looking for trouble. They recommend keeping pets indoors, securing trash, and making noise if a coyote gets too close. Have you noticed more wildlife in your neighborhood lately? Let’s talk about how we share space with nature! #Science #Dallas #WhiteRockLake

Flu surge hits Dallas as vaccine changes stir debate

North Texas is facing its worst flu season in two decades, with Dallas clinics packed and families getting sick together.

Meanwhile, new federal guidelines have dropped the universal flu shot recommendation for kids, adding to parents’ confusion and concern. How are you feeling about these changes? Are you seeing more flu cases in your circle? Let’s talk about what’s working—and what’s not—this season. #Health #BodyHealth #Dallas
