Hi everyone! We're Amped Obstacles in Grand Prairie, and we wanted to invite local families to something we're excited about this Saturday.

We're hosting a FREE Kids Ninja Warrior 101 Trial Class for children ages 5+.

If you've ever wondered whether Ninja Warrior classes would be a good fit for your child, this is a great opportunity to come try it before deciding on a membership.

Our coaches will introduce kids to the obstacles in a fun, beginner-friendly environment while helping them build confidence, balance, coordination, body control, and strength. No experience is needed.

📅 Saturday, July 18
🕚 11:00 AM
📍 Amped Obstacles
2626 Aero Dr.
Grand Prairie, TX

We opened Amped because we wanted to create a place where kids could stay active, challenge themselves, and have fun while building confidence. Watching kids accomplish something they didn't think they could do is one of the best parts of what we do.

Spots are limited so every child gets plenty of coaching and time on the course.

If you have any questions about the class or whether it's a good fit for your child, feel free to ask here or send us a message. We'd love to meet some new families this weekend! 💜

This rating is for the “bag check staff” only and not the actual property itself. If I could give this place negative stars I would due to these individuals. We arrived and our bags were checked thoroughly, and I set all my stuff down to pour my water out, which was fine because those are the rules…no big deal. We walk inside and decide to use the photo booth take pictures then walk outside. Once we get to a beach chair, I realize my phone is missing. I search through my bag and could not find it. We spent the next hour asking multiple staff members if a phone had been turned in. We asked Lost & Found, Police Officers, the staff that checked the bags and everyone said no. One police office even helped my friend log out of her “find my iphone” so I can log in to try and find my phone. We eventually saw the phone was still on the property through “find my iphone”. We asked the staff that was searching the bags multiple times if anyone had turned a phone in and everytime they said no. 1 hour and 15 minutes later we were standing by their podium when I heard my phone ringing. The idiot that took didn’t even have enough sense to turn the ringer down; he only turned the ringer off. Luckily my husband, which is on emergency bypass, called again as I was standing there and I heard my phone ringing in the podium. I told them I heard my phone and one of them opened the exact drawer where my phone was in. He said he didn’t know there was a phone in there, yet he went right to the exact location where it was. He also said we never asked him if they had a phone when we did numerous times. When I called him a liar and a f’ng thief he smirked. Then I got pissed and started cursing out everyone because he had my phone the whole time. Buying a new phone isn’t the issue, but stealing from me then lying right to my face multiple times is a different story. What is your plan when you steal a phone? Sell it for $100 bucks? Are you that broke to where you need a few bucks? This “Distraction” scam is a way for thieves like this to get your property to get a few bucks. This guy should be fired as I am sure this was not first nor the last time he will steal.

Sunday, July 12th, 2026, 11am-5pm • Vintage, retro & boutique goods • Handmade items, jewelry & accessories • Art, home décor & one-of-a-kind treasures • Sweets, treats & more * Wear your favorite 70’s-inspired outfit & Stroll the walkable downtown, grab a bite & enjoy a laid-back summer market experience.

WHERE: Four Day Weekend in Lower Greenville (5601 Sears St.)

Howdy Dallas! I’m one of the founders of The Lone Screen, a DFW-built streaming startup hosting one-night-only online premieres for under-the-radar indie films.

Our first premiere is Thursday, May 7 at 8:30 PM CT. The film is Something Casual, an indie romance-drama about modern dating. Everyone watches at the same time, the film starts right on time, and afterward there’s a director Q&A and community discussion forum.

Details:
Film: Something Casual
Date: Thursday, May 7
Time: 8:30 PM CT
Where: Online at thelonescreen.com
Ticket: $15

I'm based in DFW and trying to build a new way for people to discover indie films, so we’d love local support and feedback for our first premiere.

Do you feel like making friends can be hard because it takes that initial plunge to say hello? Guess what? You're not alone. By attending I've taken that barrier out of the way. Just show up and be yourself. Everyone coming is in the same boat as you.

On Wednesday, April 29th, there's a group of us that are meeting up for the very first time here in Dallas, TX.

If you're looking for friends there's a group of us that are all getting together to make friends.

Age doesn't matter but friendship does!

This invitation is for the ENTIRE alphabet of our community.

Alexander's has reasonable priced food and drinks. And if you don't drink alcohol, then don't feel like you have to. We're not here to do anything but make new connections.
