📰 In the news

Tech-powered homebuilding push: Homebound has closed on a $731 million deal to buy more than 1,000 lots, starting with The Villas at Lakeside in Flower Mound, launching its first Texas community nearby — see what’s planned in North Texas.

Network grows across North Texas: Medical City Healthcare acquired 13 CareNow urgent care centers, including the Bartonville clinic at Lantana Town Center, expanding options for Lewisville Lake neighbors. Financial terms were not disclosed — see which clinics were acquired.

Spinoff heads to North Texas: Taylor Sheridan’s Frisco King, starring Samuel L. Jackson, is scheduled to film in Fort Worth this month and stream on Paramount+, with recognizable Collin County spots poised to make cameos — get all the details.

Nothing prepares you for a pet emergency: I learned that the hard way after charging $10k to a credit card for life-saving surgery on my cat, Miss Stache. As soon as we got home, I signed up for Spot. It’s super affordable – and reimburses up to 90% of the bill.

Highlights this week:

• Meet local authors at book fair
• Unplug for nature adventures at LLELA
• Bounce through a 1,000-ft inflatable park

🫶 We got your back

Your deli day-maker: When pastrami cravings hit, Deli News Frisco delivers: overstuffed Reubens, hand-sliced Nova from Brooklyn, and triple-deckers that need both hands… maybe a plan. Plus matzo ball soup and other comfort classics that taste like home.

Sun, sand, and lake vibes: Take a midweek breather at Stewart Creek Park, with shoreline strolls, sand volleyball, and mellow lake views that make unwinding effortless in town. Pack a small picnic, claim some shade, and let the water and wide-open space reset your pace.

For LEGO lovers: Little Brick scratches that creative itch with bulk brick tables, new and gently loved sets, and an irresistible minifig wall. Kids and kids-at-heart can swap dusty kits for builds they actually want, then linger over colors, pieces, and possibilities.

Why your last diet didn’t work: Sustained weight loss is nearly impossible with diet alone. Your body literally fights back by making you hungrier the moment you start restricting calories. That’s why more doctors are recommending GLP-1s. The best part? Getting them has never been easier. We compared three programs to help you find the right fit. See which ones stood out →

Your data is for sale right now: There are over 400 websites selling your info to marketers, political campaigns, and scammers. They’ve got your phone number, home address, relatives’ names… you name it. That’s how robocallers seem to know everything about you before you pick up. You can remove your info one site at a time, or pay a service to do it for you. Here’s what we recommend →

Are you quietly overpaying for car insurance? 🚗

Premiums have been climbing across Texas but most folks won’t notice until they’re hit with a higher bill when it’s time to renew.

That’s exactly what happened to me. I had the same policy for half a decade. Autopay was on, it was out of sight and out of mind. Turns out I was blindly paying way more than everyone else I knew.

If you haven’t checked in a while, you’re probably overpaying too – here’s the comparison tool I used.

This house is wild

In a private four-home gated enclave minutes from the lake, this thoughtfully designed residence places all bedrooms downstairs, with a secluded primary and a central flex lounge. The chef’s kitchen showcases quartz, a massive island seating eight and KitchenAid and Electrolux appliances. A resort backyard brings a pool with waterfall and diving rock, fire bowls, spa and a balcony-to-patio connection.
