First things first:
For those of you that don't know, Plato's Closet is awesome! It's a lightly used clothing store that caters to twenty-something years old. It's kind of like a thrift store, except all of the clothes are fashionable. The prices are great, I've found shirts for as low as $4! They have clothes for men and women, as well as some shoes and accessories. Everything is in pretty good shape and they have an awesome variety because the clothes come from all sorts of people. They have dressing rooms of course so you can model your finds.
And here's the extra perk: you can make some money! If you have any clothes, shoes, or accessories that you don't wear anymore, bring them in and they might give you money for them! Just don't bring in your old fifth grade clothes, it's supposed to be stuff that's not super out of style.

Well, you guys know how thrift stores work. As for selection, this one is actually pretty good. They have clothes, books, furniture, and shoes for men, women, and children. Each clothing item is stickered with a different colored tag. Here's the special part: every Monday, they pick a random color tag, and every item with that color is on sale all day for $.99. Yay sales!
That One Snow Cone Place
Okay, forgive me on this one, normally I have better information, but I have no idea of the details of this place. There is a snow cone shop on Kingsley in Garland. The zip code is 75041. It's after you pass Saturn but before you get to Garland Avenue. It's a light neon blue building, you can't miss it! There's plenty of flavors. Ooh and get them with cream, it makes it extra yummy! I can't remember the exact prices(again, sorry, I fail), but they're somewhere around a buck. Go and try it!
The Beef HouseLocation: 3110 Saturn #103 Garland 75041, off of Saturn & Kingsley. It's across the street from the church, and right by that bright yellow mexican restaurant (What is up with all the neon businesses these days? Reminds me of my socks in 5th grade, bad fashion choice, don't ask)

Okay so this picture must have been taken a LONG time ago because I've lived here for 18 years, and I have never seen it look that bright. Either way, props to the photographer. This is definitely one of those little hole in the wall restaurants that you come to love. They have awesome prices and big plates of food. I recommend the cheese omelet and blackberry cobbler a la mode(Saturdays only). I've also heard that they have the best salads around.
They're open 24 hours a day and you can also call ahead and get something to go. It's a great little restaurant, you can find typos on the menu every so often, and their only non-smoking table is more of a standing joke that sits in the doorway unused.
I love this place, I grew up there. You get to know the waitstaff fast as well as the regulars. It's the one place where I can be loud and crude with my friends(not intentionally, we're just politically incorrect and blast a lot) and not get kicked out. Okay, I don't mean scream across the restaurant, but it's nice to have a place where you can chill with your friends anytime you want. And remember people, tip your waitresses!!!
That's all for now, enjoy!
