Heading to Dallas for the Mavericks Championship Victory Parade on Thursday? Read These Tips.

Posted on June 15, 2011 | 2 comments

250,000 people are expected to descend on Dallas on Thursday to pay tribute to the Dallas Mavericks after their NBA championship win over the Miami Heat.

If you are one of the dedicated Mavs fans who are willing to fight the crowds and cheer on the home team at the championship parade, check out this round-up of helpful information:

Parade Start time: Crowds are expected to start gathering several hours before the official start time of 10AM (Thursday, June 16) ~ if you want a good viewing spot along the parade route, you’ll want to get there early. The parade is expected to last an hour and will end in a pep rally at Victory Plaza (only 10,000 will be allowed into the plaza). Visit dallascityhall.com for more event details.
Parade Route: Streets close at 8AM on Thursday along the parade path and fans can line up behind the barricades beginning at 7AM. Festivities begin at the Dallas Convention Center (at Young and Griffin streets downtown), head west on Young Street to Union Station, goes North on Houston Street (past Dealey Plaza), and then to Continental and Victory avenues to end at American Airlines Center. Check out this handy Google Map which shows the route as well as the public transportation train stops along the way.
Getting there by train: Police are urging parade-goers to use public transportation to get to the parade. The Trinity Railway Express is easy to catch from Fort Worth and has two stations along the parade route ~ Victory Station (drops off close to the American Airlines Center) and Union Station, near the parade route start. Do leave yourself some extra time to get to your stop, as the trains are expected to be crowded tomorrow. Go here to get more info on the Trinity Railway Express.
Driving & Parking: Driving into downtown will likely take a great deal of patience, but there is expected to be plenty of parking available once you arrive. Dallas Mayor, Dwaine Caraway says, “We cannot stress enough how important it is for people to come downtown early….we encourage you to take the public transportation, but we also encourage all of you that are coming to carpool.” Go here to see a map of downtown Dallas public parking.
Cost: FREE (Thank you Mark Cuban for footing the bill!)

TODAY ONLY ~ Hot Groupon Deal for 50% OFF At Nordstrom Rack (Valid Until Dec. 31)!

Posted on November 19, 2010 | 1 comment

Incredible Deal at Groupon today!

Groupon has launched a national savings offer of 50% OFF at Nordstrom
Rack Stores. When you buy today’s $25 Groupon, you will get a $50 gift
certificate valid on an in-store Nordstrom Rack Purchase.

Note that you do need to buy the gift certificate TODAY (the offer expires
at midnight EST), however you can use the certificate anytime at
Nordstrom Rack, through Dec. 31, 2010.

How to get the Offer:

Go here to sign up for today’s Nordstrom Rack Groupon deal.
Select Houston as Your Groupon City.
While this is valid at all U.S. Nordstrom Rack locations, you’ll need to
select Houston’s Groupon Site to find and purchase the offer
(it’s not showing on the Fort Worth or Dallas Groupon site, even though
the Groupon can be used at all DFW and U.S. stores).

The fine print: Limit 1 per person. Good for $50 value of merchandise. EXPIRES ON December 31, 2010. Valid only at Nordstrom Rack locations.
Must be used in a single transaction. May not be used to purchase Nordstrom
Gift Cards. Offer cannot be combined with any other offers, discounts,
promotions or with a Nordstrom employee discount. Offer not valid in
Nordstrom Stores, Last Chance, nordstrom.com or by phone.
View complete terms.

New to Groupon? You are in for a treat!

A few months ago, Groupon launched its Fort Worth site (AND we
did the happy dance at Frugal in Fort Worth!). If you are not familiar with
Groupon, definitely take a moment to check them out.

Groupon offers a daily deal on local goods, services and cultural events
across the country. Fort Worth is the 51st city launch for Groupon, and
in the last month, I’ve seen their offers include everything from
50% Off Nothing Bundt Cakes to 60% Off Spa Services to 55% Off
carpet cleaning ~ and seemingly everything in between!

Here’s how it works:

1. Each day Groupon features a great deal at an unbeatable price.

2. You have to sign up for the offer that day, and only get the deal
if the minimum number of people join that day (so pass this along
to your friends)!

3. Check back the next day to discover the next Groupon offer!

Taking advantage of this deal supports Frugal in Fort Worth.

Enjoy and Share! :)
