📰 In the news
Global distributor scales up: Sunair Products closed on an 11-acre site in North Richland Hills for a new headquarters and distribution campus, more than doubling its space. Office renovations will deliver a first-in-class hub — read the full story.
Fans’ route to matches: North Texas World Cup organizers detailed a transportation plan, partnering with DART, Trinity Metro, and TEXRail to move fans to CentrePort Station, with over 125 buses planned for the event — see how transit is planned.
Upscale dining and lifestyle mix: Arlington leaders approved incentives to revamp Lincoln Square by AT&T Stadium. Demolition will begin in May, making way for Anthem with about 70,000 square feet of retail and outdoor spaces — see what’s planned for Anthem.
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.
Compare rates for free: The national average for car insurance is around $175/month. Paying more than that? Same, so I did some shopping around and ended up cutting my premium in half. If you haven’t checked in a while, you’re probably overpaying too — here’s the comparison tool I used.
Highlights this week:

💎 Local business spotlight
Freshly-trimmed neighborly drama: MainStage Irving-Las Colinas kicks off Native Gardens this Friday (March 6), a sharp, funny fence-line feud ideal for shaking off winter grumps.

Chicago-style fix, right here: Weinberger’s Deli slings legit Chicago-style dogs and stacked deli favorites that land when your week needs a win. Perfect with a friend, split a sandwich, then instantly regret sharing, because every bite is seriously satisfying.
Your next book fix: Whether you’re craving a gripping thriller, something cozy for Sunday, or a pick for the kiddo, Talking Animals Books brings curated shelves and community. Think book clubs, author events, and staff recs you can trust, now at two Grapevine spots for a quick literary escape.

🫶 We got your back
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 →
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 →
Thinning hair? Don’t treat the wrong thing: When my ponytail started thinning, I tried the usual stuff (biotin, shampoo, sprays, etc.) and not one of them lasted. Turns out, most products target the strand, not the follicle… and that’s the whole problem. Once follicles go dormant, they need targeted help to come back. The good news? You can get treatment that actually works with no office visits or trips to the pharmacy. Learn about my favorites here →
Six figures you can’t spend: Most homeowners over 50 have spent years dutifully paying their mortgage, assuming the only time it’ll pay off is when they sell. I thought the same thing until I discovered you can tap into the equity you’ve earned whenever you want (without leaving your home). Overdue for a new roof? Want to build your dream bathroom? There are two ways to turn equity into usable cash →
