Did she sell the business? What’s going on there?

The Liz Akamatsu "Dogstar" sculpture that was installed on the roundabout on Bonnie Brae is missing this morning. One of the road signs next to where it was is dramatically bent so I'm assuming it was damaged in some sort of accident. I hope it's ok as I was really fond of this particular part of my commute! Does anyone have any info on this or where it might be currently?

The roundabout this morning

The sculpture upon installation

Couldn't get pictures but drove by and witnessed ambulance, cops and fires trucks. Black car flipped upside down and part of the round about sculpture ripped clan off? Anyone see anything?

Hi all, I hope this is the correct subreddit to post to (sorry, if this should be in classifieds I apologise!)

I am merely looking to know if there is any place local I can reach out to or go to that might be able to help me with renters rights + renters legal advice regarding my current living situation.

Without too much fluff, my apartment has been without air conditioning since March 6th, and my landlord has said they will reimburse up to $100 on an AC unit. However, I believe renter's rights in city of Denton (Sec. 17-166. - Mechanical facilities.) require landlords to fully provide their own AC to their units starting may 1st through oct. 1st with reasonable room for any repairs.

It's been nearly 4-5 weeks of waiting on repairs and may 1st is quickly approaching, it's been 80+ degrees in my apartment on the hot days and we simply do not have the viable means to set aside money for an AC unit which I don't even think we are supposed to be buying with our own money? The apartment also has not been actually notifying us with proper mail, instead through email, so I suspect at some point I need to send them a certified request.

I know this is just a subreddit so I don't forsee any legal advice here, but does anyone know if theres anyone in the city I can contact or any legal consul that might be able to offer advice on this? I plan on calling the city code at some point to see if I can find answers there but thought maybe some fellow neighbors might have had similar experiences.

I am a printmaker, so getting art supplies from brick and mortar stores can be more difficult than something like oil painting. I was looking for burnt plate oil and BFK Rives paper at Thistle, but they didn't really have printmaking supplies outside of beginner stuff. I had no luck at Michael's either. If I have to order from Blick or Takach, then I guess I'll have no choice, but I would prefer to support locally.

Literally didn't respond to questionnaires from the Denton Record-Chronicle or Community Impact on his positions, why he's running, or well... anything.

So we did he fill out the paperwork and pay a fee to run for City Council if he's not actually going to put forth any effort to try and get votes?

She's at Malone and University. My picture is way too blurry to add.

Location: Texas

Hi, I will try to keep this as concise as possible. I’m 24 F located in Texas. My mom moved into an apartment back in January 2022. Great landlord, never a single issue. In 2025, a couple of months after we signed the lease again, the property was sold to a new owner and so we had a new landlord. He honored our lease we’d just signed and we were told we’d sign a new one January 2026.

Well, the past year with this landlord has been hell. My mom’s neighbor is out of control, and they share a porch space since it’s a duplex. She feels unsafe there- her neighbors friends get extremely high and stand in front of her door at all hours of the night. The other day one of them was just passed out in front of her door. They hoard piles of things all in front of the property, there’s often rats and stray animals hiding in all broken furniture and heaps of trash in front of my mom’s door. My mom tripped and fell coming out of her apartment twice because of it, and she’s elderly.

I feel that’s besides my primary point- we never signed a new lease in January. We’ve been waiting and they never came around. The landlord didnt increase the rent or anything, we just continued paying rent every month.

My mom no longer feels safe and is desperate to move. The issue is the landlord is telling us we can’t have our deposit back and we must pay 2 months rent before leaving. My question is can they do this? We have no lease with these people..and even when I go back to look at the previous lease, there’s nothing on there saying we can’t get our deposit back or that we have to pay 2 months rent. And that lease is expired

I had a lengthy conversation with him this evening that amounted to nothing. He was so rude and condescending, and told me to get lawyers together and we can go to court. I’m trying to reason with him but him and his property manager laughed at me and said “whatever, I’m ending this conversation” and that I can either stay or pay the 2 months rent and forfeit my deposit. They’re refusing to talk to me now.

I am so frustrated and confused, I don’t even know what my next steps are. I considered contacting the housing authority but I don’t even know what to ask or say..I feel like my naivety is being taken advantage of. I’m really going through a lot right now and this isn’t something else I can handle right now. Is there anything that I can do?

Edit to add: I’ve never had to get a lawyer before and I’m not sure I even have the financial means to do so. I’m also really concerned about giving notice at this time, as rent will be due again on the 1st of May. I don’t think I’d be able to get any of that money back if my mom moves out and financially that would destroy us

has anyone gone to Emonite in Dallas recently? is it any good? worth the drive? thinking about making the drive but not sure if I should look around for other shows In the area.

If you have an over and under your selling I’m looking around and really want one. Let me know what you’ve got ! I’d love to see what’s out there that yall.
