The Best 3 Cent Copy Shop in Addison: Office Machines Inc. Forget Kinkos.  Don't bother with Office Depot.  Office Max? Nah! When I need more copies than my all-in-one printer/copier can handle, I head to one of the two locations of Office Machines, Inc.  But wait!  They do more than copying.  I also use OMI to coil-bind my listing presentations.  And they do business cards!  Although their primary business is copier, fax, and laser printer sales and repairs, they have multiple copiers available for the general public to use.

You Can Stand on this Guy's Reputation!  All American Flooring. Joe Kboudi of All American Flooring (formerly The Rug Mart) is an upstanding guy!  His family-owned and operated business has been around since 1983.  They recently joined forces with Fred Ashouri and Tarek Alkadri of All American Flooring and moved to 4490 Alpha Road, Farmers Branch, Texas (just a toe over the Addison line), between Welch and Midway Roads. Joe has helped me with carpeting and tile in my current home as well as a previous one.  He's my go-to guy for flooring if my sellers are getting ready to put their homes on the market or if my buyers want to change out the floors in their new acquisitions.

The Dallas area has many great Independence Day celebrations to choose from.  One of my favorites is Kaboom Town in Addison. A free, night-long celebration of our country’s independence and national pride, Kaboom Town has been rated one of the top places to watch Independence Day fireworks in the USA by the American Pyrotechnics Association, USA Today and The Wall Street Journal. The event will feature live music performances, historic airplane flyovers and a fireworks display choreographed to music and a live radio simulcast on 100.3 JACK FM.   Kaboom Town begins Friday July 3 at 5:00pm (what a great way to kick off the holiday weekend) and runs until Midnight at Addison Circle Park.  It is one of my personal favorites and definitely a "don't miss" event!  Whatever your Independence D...

OK, OK, I admit it!  I'm a Yankee.  And not a big fan of Mexican food.  But......... I've lived in North Texas for 30 years and every once in a while I get dragged to a Mexican restaurant by friends.  Last night was one of those occasions.  And I loved it! Masaryk is a "Modern Mexican Kitchen & Tequila Lounge" at 5004 East Addison Circle, Addison Texas 75001.  The food was fabulous!  (Except the salsa dip for chips, which was a little too hot for my naive taste buds.)  I had the Salmon Masaryk, a pan seared dish smothered with hearts of palm in a buerre blanc sauce, atop pepita pesto mash, with microgreens.  My friend had the Pollo Agave, a pan seared chicken breast with sauza tequila and a chanterelle cream reduction, also with the pepita pesto mash and a garlicky spinach. Chef/Proprie...
