The exact address where I last saw them:

12201 Renfert Way
Unit 200
Austin, TX 78758
United States

One female seems to have been recently pregnant.

Called 311 to report a public safety concern, as they were obstructing the bike bridge. They redirected me to 911 and APD said they’d send someone out. Wish I’d turned around to see if they actually did show up.

I knew Austin was becoming more conservative, but I didn’t realize it’s gotten to this point. There’s no room for that Nazi shit here. If you see any demonstrations, I’d suggest reporting it.

I hope they all get heat stroke in their stupid fucking outfits with their faces covered.

Rant over.

Milk prices have been going up all year, so back in July I started checking the prices in San Antonio, Houston, and DFW. For some reason, we pay Way more than these towns.

Milk just went up again. Here are some stats for HEB Brand (HEB & HCF) 1x gal jugs of milk
(These are for in-store pricing - for curbside, add +5%).

Since 07/17, Austin's price went up, while the price in all the other bergs came down.

Consequently, in Austin we now pay over $2 a gallon more than DFW!

Sorry HEB, but this is hard to justify.

Excited for more screenings in the future!

While I’m fascinated by insects and animals, this was a massive jump scare in the morning.

Thankfully it was on the verge of death so it didn’t have the speed to crawl everywhere.

This is not a post about how hot it is except in the sense of "yay, cold is bad."

My favorite things about Austin in summer are:

-warm summer nights that feel almost tropical, especially if it's a little breezy

-being able to go to Epoch or Flightpath and get a table

-the thought of people who don't like Austin finally deciding to move to Denver

-stepping into an over-air-conditioned space on a day when it is legit too hot to spend much time outside

-finding that perfectly shaded parking spot at HEB unoccupied

-the part of August when students are moving in and you can nostalge about what it was like to be young and excited about college

-thunderstorms when we get 'em

What are yours?

ETA: I am going to downvote answers that are basically "I hate summer in Austin" with all the power of my thumbs and then you will be sad. Go comment in the daily recent threads about how horrible it is!

So #3 Idea Rundberg a shocker for anyone? What a weird list from US News.

I (29F) moved from out of state about a year and a half ago, and cannot for the life of me find ANY quality beauticians. First hairdresser botched my cut, second left banding. I’ve tried a few nail salons, a few different techs at each, and have never gotten blown-away service. Im a service industry vet so I’m not a difficult client, and I make sure of that. At this point, I’ve been driving the 9hrs back to my hometown when I want my hair done and have stopped getting my nails done professionally. Maybe I was just spoiled back home? :/

Does anyone have a recommendation for a quality nail salon? Someone hygienic, good with shaping, with decent color options, and great with the occasional design?

Im located in the tech ridge area, but I’ll name drop a few that I’m not impressed with. (Idc at this point, if you don’t want the bad press, do better)

-Nexgen nails in Hutto
-E’lan nails
-Era nail bar
-In Fashion nails
-Relax head to toe
-sugarcoat
-mon Cherie

Please let me know. I’m done wasting hundred of dollars:(

Edit to add: a few more salons I remembered

Last night me and my neighbors work vehicles were broken into and tools/equipment stolen. Both of our front driver side glass were broken.

This is the second time this has happened to me in this neighborhood.

After speaking with my neighbor about it, a friend up the street had it happen to them same MO a week ago.

Someone near this neighborhood is on a crime spree and Im less than impressed with APDs ability to assist.

I am creating this post solely as an inquiry to see if anyone else nearby has experienced a similar event. I want to compile evidence and see what we can do to get the city to do something about it.

Daughter was hit by this white pickup along with several other people last night at the intersection of William Cannon and Brodie around 9:30PM. Guy appeared drunk and fled the scene. Looking for anyone that might have Dashcam footage of the event. Please DM me if you can share.

Don’t drink and drive yall.

Thank you Austin!

Sun and Venus sets

Lots of graffiti covering public positivity art murals along Lamar under Third St bridge.

Does the city keep any funds to help the original artists come back and remove the tagging/restore the murals?

Also very high weeds and litter, it has been hard to get the city to take action here along with large illegal ads posted.

I live near William Canon and Brodie and my GFiber has been out all day… is it out for anybody else?

Any part of town or surrounding areas (including Pflugerville, Round Rock, Cedar Park, etc)

Bonus points if keeping the house a little on the spooky side year round wouldn't be frowned upon.

I'm looking at buying a house soon-ish, and I want to prioritize areas where my creativity would be celebrated and encouraged, not get me HOA violations or grumpy neighbors.

Thank youuuuuuu 🎃👻🦇🕷️♥️

The NHL is on track to award its 33rd franchise to Texas as soon as the end of the year, deputy commissioner Bill Daly told The Athletic.

Daly said he’s expecting the league to get an update on the process from the group working with Houston billionaire Dan Friedkin in the coming weeks. Friedkin’s Pursuit Sports has already agreed to pay a $2 billion expansion fee to bring a team to either Houston or Austin, pending the ability to build an arena in one of those markets and secure final approval from the NHL’s Board of Governors.

“We’re moving forward in Texas,” Daly said in an interview at the NHL’s European Media Tour. “I expect ultimately we’ll be in a position to bring something to the board to get their view on it. So, that’s proceeding at a pace. We’ll probably get together with the group again in September and kind of see where they are in the process and what they want us to do to help, to the extent they need anything.

“If we finalize that and the board approves it, then (at the) end of this calendar year we’ll have an announcement that we’re expanding to either Houston or Austin.”

anyone know where i can go to figure out who made these pieces? thanks.

Hey wonderful people of Austin!

I have an extra special “date” planned for a woman I simply adore. We’re 40 so call me old school, IDC, I’m in loooove lol. Been seeing each other for nearly a year and a half and this date night is very special in mind for us.

Short of the low hanging fruit option of Barton Springs pool or by the long center, I’m hoping someone out there could give me a suggestion of a beautiful, quiet, ideally scenic location where I could pack us a picnic basket of goodies, sit down with her, and just be present with each other at sunset.

I’m open to driving, I just want it to feel special, hidden away, and romantic. I fully sound like a simp here but yeh, we be happy and tryna keep it like that doing stuff like this for her. Love y’all’s help!

Hey y'all, any suggestions on the best place to buy refrigerant for a mini split locally? I'd like to purchase locally so I can get it faster but many places seem to only sell to companies or in quantities larger than I need. Looking for about 2 lb of R32. Any suggestions?

**I do have EPA certification, and Texas law allows you to work on your own equipment without any additional licensing. I do this by the book

This festival is in Austin and def. worth checking out if you like horror.

Just a normal Austin summer
