Jeffrey Armstrong+FollowArlington’s lost neighborhood: The real cost of AT&T StadiumImagine your neighborhood replaced by a stadium. That’s exactly what happened in Arlington, where the land beneath AT&T Stadium was once a close-knit community of homes and small businesses. In just a few years, city votes and eminent domain cleared out families and shops to make way for the Cowboys’ $1.3 billion home. Now, the stadium hosts massive events and shapes the city’s identity, but the transformation came at a steep price for locals. How do you feel about trading community history for big development? Let’s talk about what’s gained—and what’s lost—when cities go all-in on sports. #Sports #Football #ArlingtonTX11128Share
Joel Sweeney+FollowArlington restaurants shut down over health risksSeveral Arlington restaurants were recently forced to close after inspectors found roaches, dirty equipment, and unsafe food practices. It’s unsettling to think that some places we trust for a quick meal had such serious issues—one even scored a shockingly low 68. While most spots bounced back after cleaning up, it’s a wake-up call for anyone who eats out in Arlington. On the bright side, a few local favorites earned perfect scores, showing it’s possible to get it right. How do you decide where to eat, and do these inspection results change your mind? #Health #BodyHealth #ArlingtonTX00Share
Joe Gallagher+FollowArlington’s mega road project is changing commutesArlington drivers are already seeing big changes as the Southeast Connector project ramps up. This $2.2 billion effort is the largest ever for our area, stretching 14 miles and touching I-20, I-820, and U.S. 287. Crews have opened new bridges and frontage roads, and by the end of the year, even more lanes will be ready. For the 250,000 people who use these highways daily, less congestion and safer exits are on the way. Plus, new noise barriers will help nearby neighborhoods. What’s your experience with the construction so far? Are the improvements making a difference for your daily drive? #Transportation #ArlingtonTX #RoadWork00Share
Kristin Shaw+FollowArlington’s plant expo blooms with community spiritHundreds packed the St. Jude Event Center for Arlington’s first-ever Bloomverse Expo, turning a simple plant fair into a celebration of connection and inclusivity.

For newcomers and seasoned plant lovers alike, the event was about more than greenery; it was about finding a welcoming space where everyone belongs. Have you ever found a community that made you feel at home, even outside your comfort zone? #Business #Industry #ArlingtonTX00Share
Brian Gaines+FollowArlington remembers Coach 'Snake' LeGrandRobert 'Snake' LeGrand’s legacy goes far beyond basketball in Arlington. As UTA’s first Black head coach and the man behind the school’s first 20-win season, he opened doors for so many—on and off the court. But what really set him apart was his kindness. Friends say he never met a stranger and always had your back, whether you were a teammate, student, or just someone at J. Gilligan’s. His impact is still felt at UTA, in local schools, and all over town. How has Coach LeGrand’s story touched you or your family? #Sports #Basketball #ArlingtonTX00Share
