BIG Mapping Meet-Up

Old East Dallas

Old East Dallas, Dallas, TX, USA

March 07, 2020 @ 12:00 (CST)

I would like to host a “Be the ‘I’ in BIG” meetup where we take photos of the various B_G spots around Dallas. We can meet at one and carpool to the different neighborhoods around Dallas that have these signs. They are not easily found on maps, so I’d like to add them as places to maps along with pictures of each one which information about where exactly they are located. This is such a neat aspect of our city yet there isn’t an easy way to find them all. So let’s map them!

Hi @RussellR (congratulations on reaching level 9, I am on the same level as well) and @ToyinOy (WOW! you are a level 6 local guide now! That’s impressive! Congratulations!), it’s been a while since we have had our last meetup. If you are still in Dallas and free on March 7, come join us for this mapping meetup. It will be fun. We are getting there by 11 for lunch. Feel free to join us for lunch as well, that well it will be easier for you to know each other. There will be two Connect Live 2019 alumni in the meetup. I’m sure you will love to meet them.

Hi @LilaFritz , first and foremost, let me welcome you to Connect. Hope you are enjoying it here so far. How about joining us on Mar 7, along with your cousin? I am counting on you girl. Let’s meetup for lunch first, before we start mapping.

Tell me about it @RussellR . I felt like I was stuck in level 8 for ever. Level 8 was the most comfortable level for me. But I’m happy to be in 9 now. :slightly_smiling_face:

So excited for our meetup this Saturday!!! I plan to wear my orange local guide shirt so I’m easily recognizable.

Reminder: lunch at Goodfriend Beer Garden & Burgers at 11am before the official meetup starts at NOON at the East Dallas B_G location at Peavy and Garland Rd (in the parking lot of Goodfriend).

Can’t wait to meet you all! Feel free to bring a friend!

Y’all still at Good friend?

Thanks to everyone who came! I’m sorry today didn’t go quite as planned. Idk why the city took away all but one of the B&G letter sets. I am thankful to everyone who came though and made the best of it!
