Since 2021, federal rule 45 CFR 180 has required every U.S. hospital to publish its actual prices negotiated insurer rates, cash prices, gross charges in machine-readable files. Nobody reads them because they're massive, inconsistent data dumps. Details: https://www.cms.gov/priorities/key-initiatives/hospital-price-transparency

I pulled vaginal delivery pricing for a 25-mile radius around 75201 (downtown Dallas) across 26 hospitals:

• Baylor Scott & White Medical Center Grapevine comes in cheapest at $5,158.53 (a negotiated-rate estimate from its insurer contracts).

• Methodist Charlton Medical Center, about 9.5 miles from downtown, lists an actual self-pay cash price of $13,374.25 for the same delivery 2.6x the cheapest option.

• Medical City and Texas Health Presbyterian locations both span a wide range depending on campus Texas Health Presbyterian Grapevine-area campuses run under $7,000 while its Allen and Dallas campuses run $8,500-$9,100.

• For MRI (a more shoppable, less urgent scan), the gap is even starker: hospital prices run $828 to $3,207 in the same radius, while a freestanding lab a few miles from downtown Empire Central Laboratory has a BCBS Texas negotiated rate of $193.22 for a comparable brain MRI.

ChargeFacts (chargefacts.com) is a free, independent tool for searching these files no ads, no signup, no tracking. It covers 503 hospitals across Texas, Florida, and California.

Honest caveats: these are facility-fee estimates, not personal quotes physician and anesthesia bills come separately, and delivery costs vary by complications, length of stay, and newborn care. Some hospitals' files are stale or incomplete, and the site flags that (with a freshness date) rather than hiding it. Every number links to the hospital's own published source file.

DFW also has a growing list of freestanding imaging and lab centers with insurer-reported rates (BCBS Texas currently, more payers coming) worth checking before booking routine imaging or labs at a hospital.

Built this solo, still early days. If a number looks off, say so here in the comments.

I apologize if this counts as self promotion I just think it's helpful. No ads, nothing for sale, I'm just trying to spread awareness and make this something actually useful.

Hi everyone. I don’t live in Dallas but I am here for the weekend. I am at Community Beer Co. and there is a really sweet dog named Russell here that is up for adoption. He is 2 years old and is really calm and affectionate. If he is not adopted, he will be euthanized on Monday which is just devastating. I am unable to adopt him, so I wanted to post here to spread the word and find him a home. Here is the website to let them know if you are interested:

Hi DFW! We’re selling our home （3BR/2BA | 1,666 sq ft**）**in Valley Ranch, Irving (75063) after living here for almost 10 years.

We genuinely love the house and neighborhood and weren’t originally planning to leave, but my grandmother is in her 90s and living in a senior care facility, so we’ve decided to move closer to her.

The house was built in 1994, but it has been very well maintained, updated over the years, and never used as a rental. We recently had additional maintenance/touch-ups done before listing, and the roof was replaced in 2024.

A few things we’ve really loved about living here:
Lots of natural light from 3 skylights

Quiet interior neighborhood location — not directly on a busy road/intersection

Great long-term neighbors

HOA includes front-yard lawn maintenance

Nearby Valley Ranch trails/waterways — great for walking, running and dog walking

Minutes from the new H-E-B, Sam’s Club, restaurants, gyms (24hrs, life time, planet, orange theory, Club Pilates...)and shoppings.

Very convenient highway access — about 3 minutes to I-635 and George Bush; 5-7mins to 141 and 35.

15min to DFW Airport

We recently adjusted the price to $435K. We know rates are tough for buyers right now, so we’re willing to be reasonable and flexible with a serious offer. Depending on the offer, seller credit toward closing costs may also be negotiable.

We’re also willing to include select furniture and appliances with an acceptable offer, which could make it pretty easy for someone who wants a move-in-ready home.

If anyone is currently looking in Irving / Valley Ranch / Las Colinas / Coppell area, feel free to DM me. LI’m happy to send the Zillow listing or answer questions.
And if you know someone looking in this area, I’d really appreciate you passing it along. We’d love for the house to go to someone who enjoys this neighborhood as much as we have.

I’ve always believed buying and selling a home is partly about timing and fate. This house has brought me a lot of good memories and good luck，I reconnected with someone I once liked and married her, started a new career after 10+ years at my previous job, and we’ve been happy and healthy here. We’re only moving to be closer to family and our 90+ year-old loved one, so it’s honestly pretty hard to leave. 🥹

Not a scam, I promise — I represent MarketStat, a mystery shopping company and we need a few people ASAP for a paid gig at the airport.

The job: Sit at a specific bar/restaurant inside DFW or DAL for about an hour, order a drink (reimbursed), and just... pay attention to how the bartender handles alcohol service (ID checks, etc.). Afterward you fill out a short report on your phone or laptop — takes maybe 15-20 minutes. That's it.

Who this is for:

• Travelers with a layover of 2+ hours at DFW or DAL

• Locals who already have airport access and are willing to make a trip

• Mystery Shopping experience preferred but not required — we'll walk you through it

• Mystery Shoppers willing to get security clearance

Pay: $45 base + bonus for quick turnaround, so you're looking at $75-90 total for about an hour of your time, plus we cover parking if you're driving in.

Timeline: We need this done in the next week — so if you've got a layover coming up in that window, this is basically free money for something you'd be doing anyway (sitting around the airport).

Drop a comment or DM me and I'll send details on the exact location and next steps. First come, first served since we only need a handful of people.

I’m currently a dental hygiene student at Concorde Career Institute in Dallas, and I’m looking for patients to help me complete my clinical requirements!
The cost is $20 total for adults and $10 for anyone under 17, AND FREE FOR VETERANS This is a one-time fee, NOT per appointment, and includes:
• X-rays
• Dental exam
• Dental cleaning
• Fluoride treatment
• Oral hygiene instructions
• Evaluations & assessments
Everything is thoroughly checked and supervised by registered dental hygiene instructors.
Because this is a teaching clinic, appointments are longer than a regular dental appointment. Each visit is around 4–6 hours, and it typically takes 2–3 visits to complete everything. I know that’s a time commitment, but you’re helping me tremendously with my education while receiving very affordable and thorough dental care! 🥹🫶🏼
📅 Available: Tuesdays, Wednesdays & Thursdays
📍 Concorde Career Institute – Dallas
12606 Greenville Ave #130
Dallas, TX 75243
If you haven’t had a dental cleaning in a while, are looking for an affordable option, or know someone who could benefit, please feel free to DM me!
Even if you don’t need a cleaning yourself, sharing this with someone who might would help me SO much. 💙
Thank you for supporting a future dental hygienist! 🦷✨

I’m a Fort Worth cottage baker, my business is called Cakeish and my license number is #16568. I’m looking for more clients to help celebrate their big days!

Hey guys! If not allowed please remove.

Located In Plano, Texas

I bought 3 Jimny's recently and have decided to sell this one. I am not a dealer just an enthusiast who couldn't make up his mind, LOL. This one is a manual and my wife WILL NOT drive it and sometimes that is inconvenient so we're putting this one up for sale.

UPDATE: Sold it. :)

Specs

• 2001 Suzuki Jimny JB23W 660cc 4x4 Manual 5 Speed Transmission

• A/C Blows ICE Cold!!

• 76k Miles On It

• Clutch feels fantastic

• Land Venture Version. - Basically it has cool green interior and the gold trim on the outside.

• No Rust to speak of. There is some on the exhaust like any car has and little specs being a 25 year old car like on the oil pan but nothing concerning whatsoever. I don't buy rusty cars. :)

To this group, I'd take $7k cash for it. I am currently doing the paperwork to get a title for it so it will be ready to go. If you take it with all it's import paperwork and do that part yourself, I would do $6300.

Here's what I know about it.
- I have been driving it for two weeks daily. All over DFW. It does 65mph pretty well as a crusing speed. The air conditioning works super well which is a must for me. When I first got this one, I was worried it may not be capable of keeping up with traffic but the turbo and manual transmission make a huge difference in the performance. Still a small car but a fun daily driver none the less.
- It's from Japan. I bought it from a place in Houston and had planned for it to be my daily driver but I found another one that was an auto transmission.

I know most people prefer the 5 speed and this one is a good one. Hopefully I can give someone a good deal on it.

Hey there. I am a 30 year old Male and homeless. I left the shelter downtown for about a week because the stress was getting to me after only 4 months and it turns out to be the worst decision.

They won't let me back in, despite having got a job. I now work at Walmart downtown but have not started, it's been a week since I was hired on the spot.

The shelter says because I haven't started working yet I'm not a priority and it's pretty full. The problem is that people lose their mats every night and new ones open up.

Still I am somehow not a priority and they told me when I start working I can try again.

I'm sick of being homeless. I need a place to go, is there a room somebody has I can rent? I'm looking for another job to better secure a home but it seems impossible.

I figured I'd ask, I've been sleeping outside and it will be my birthday in about a week or so. Hoped somebody might take pity enough lol.

Thanks.

Offering help for any task big or small every weekend for free absolutely free I drive myself feed myself just looking to help some people out

Hello, Rusty needs a new home. His owner died on New Years Day and his owners roommate was moved into a home for his dementia. The owner had no next of kin. Rusty appears to be a possible dashound/chihuahua mix, born in 2019. He is super friendly to everyone he meets. He uses a crate. He tolerates a leash but needs some training to go on walks. He is very much a lap dog There are vet records we found but still gathering those. He seems to have been well taken care of. Please let me know if you have any questions. He is located in Garland. MUST go to a good home. Not sure if good with cats or kids, but my best guess is yes he is. He is just really friendly. Thank you.

Hello DFW

I am writing you today because I know a lot of you are hurting from damage and needing help. I know this homeless guy who I have see for awhile. He is pleasant each time I have seen him but I also do not know his full history.
What I do know is that he says he has work experience in construction and stucco. He says that he is looking for work. I have his google voice number if you pm this throwaway.
I guess what I am putting this out for is if there is anyone looking for some help with handyman stuff for him or if there is someone looking for a construction worker. He may need a ride if outside of Dallas.

what I do not want to happen is for someone hiring him and then not providing him with adequate PPE or pay for cleaning up a house, so please do not be that person.

anyways let me know.

I had a connecting flight in DFW airport, lost my keys and didn’t realize until after I got home that they were missing.

I’ve filled out reports with American and tsa and have called business in the area with no luck

Note that it’s behind TSA gate so I don’t think you’ll be able to look for it without a valid ticket

Would give $100 plus the shipping to me if someone can help.

If you contact me I can send you the link that will let you track it as if it was your own (iPhone only, I think Android will be too hard)

This is Beast. He is looking for a home he is 1/2 Cane Corso and 1/2 American Pit. He is the sweetest dog you will ever meet. He loves people! But He absolutely will not tolerate cats at all, he was living with his son, but they ended up fighting so we had to separate them. He is 6 years old. He absolutely loves people, and gets that pitbull smile when you love on him.

Edited for clarity -He is chained because his yard was being treated for fleas -He is being rehomed because his owner lost his wife, has to downsize, is selling his house and the new apt won't allow him, his daughters are devastated -He is an absolute dream, you want to meet him, we can set that up

I’m one of ~50 dealers at Lula B’s Oak Cliff and just took over social media for the shop.

We’re basically a bunch of small business owners trying to rescue the good version of “grandma’s stuff” before it gets trashed. Furniture, weird decor, old tech, clothes, the whole spectrum.

If you’re into vintage, thrifting, or just don’t like seeing usable stuff go to the landfill, come by or follow along. I’m trying to make the page actually worth watching.

Also curious

What kind of content would make you stop scrolling? Finds? Prices? Before/after cleanups?

This is the Menu For This Week!

Hey everyone! I hope this is okay to post here.

I’m a local Dallas resident in the Oak Lawn area, and I recently found myself between jobs. Rather than sit around waiting for the next opportunity, I’m trying to be proactive, put my skills to use, and connect with people in the community who might need an extra set of hands.

I’ve got a pretty varied background, so I’m open to different kinds of work. I figured I’d put this out there because sometimes people need help with something and just haven’t found the right person yet.

**Here are a few things I can help with:**

• **Personal training & fitness:** Help with workouts, gym guidance, accountability, and building a more consistent routine. Fitness and bodybuilding are big passions of mine.

• **Local courier & errands:** I run SideRun Dallas, a small neighborhood courier service. I can help with nearby food pickups, small grocery runs, package drop-offs, forgotten items, and other local errands by e-bike.

• **Meal prep assistance:** If you already have the groceries, I can help with basic meal preparation and getting meals organized for the week.

• **Photography & content help:** Need someone to take photos for a property listing, social media, a small business, or an event? I’m open to helping with photography and basic content needs.

• **Remote administrative & technical help:** I have professional experience in customer service, technical support, software implementation, troubleshooting, and coordinating projects. If you’re a small business owner who needs help organizing information, handling customer follow-ups, managing tasks, or getting through a backlog of work, feel free to reach out.

• **Odd jobs & general assistance:** Helping organize a space, handling a small task, assisting with an event, or something else you just haven't had time to get done. If it's something I can reasonably help with, I'm open to discussing it.

I'm also happy to hear about other legitimate paid opportunities, whether it's a one-time gig, recurring work, or something remote.

I’m mainly looking around Oak Lawn, Uptown, Turtle Creek, and Downtown Dallas, although I’m open to discussing other arrangements depending on the job.

To be transparent, my goal right now is to pick up meaningful, fairly paid work that helps me stay on top of my living expenses while I work toward my next full-time opportunity. I'm not expecting anyone to hand me anything. I'm willing to put in the work, show up, communicate, and earn it.

If you have something you need help with, know someone who does, or have an idea for a service I might be able to offer, I'd genuinely appreciate you reaching out. Even if it's something I haven't listed here, I'm happy to hear what you have in mind and see if we can work something out.

Feel free to comment or send me a message with what you need, the general location, and what you have budgeted for the job. We can take it from there.

Thanks for taking the time to read this. I appreciate it, and hopefully I can help a few people in the neighborhood along the way, too.
