Leaves, sensors, EVs and a busy month in Rockwall

What fall does to your roof and foundation, what to ask a body shop about newer cars, and what's happening around town through mid-December.

From the editor

This month's questions

Fall in North Texas brings two kinds of questions. Homeowners want to know what all those leaves are doing to their gutters, their roofs and the clay soil under the house. Drivers with newer cars want to know whether any shop can fix them, now that so many have cameras, radar and, for some, a high-voltage battery.

This issue answers both, with help from local business owners who deal with these questions every day. It's also the start of giving season, and we've rounded up local nonprofits that could use your help. You'll also find a busy calendar: Veterans Day, the Sheriff's Posse Round-Up, the State of the City and a stack of new businesses opening their doors.
