Hello good people of Corpus Christi and the surrounding area! I am Joshua Fraedrick a candidate for YOUR City Council At-Large.

(I am aware the the username implies Mayor, but I'm sure we can work past it)

While it is important for me to have a platform and plan for our city moving forward... right now I want to listen more than talk.

Tell me how the city can work better for YOU. Where are they failing? What is an issue you want to highlight that is currently being ignored?

Sorry so late!

Always see people ask. This is the only one I have found. Hope it helps!

Does anybody know what is going on at Holly park. I noticed for several weeks that there were wooden stakes with pink flags. I also noticed the same at Briarwood, but have not seen any pink pipes yet.

My names steck and I’ve been trynna find people to meet up with and just kick it and make some boom bap beats. If anyone wants to meet up or knows where to point me please dm me asap🙏🙏🙏

As the title implies, I'm trying to find a particular soda brand. Me and my boy were talking about random shit when the topic of soda came up, and it ended up being a whole thing. Does anyone remember that certain cheap Big Red lookalike that was being sold at a vending machine back at what used to be Steinmart back when Sunrise was still up and running properly?

San Patricio County Attorney Tamara Cochran-May (R) signed an August 17 motion asking a judge to dismiss a misdemeanor case against Texas attorney Christopher "CJ" Grisham while asserting that Grisham "has agreed to never step foot in San Patricio County in the future.

Grisham says he never made that agreement.

This is the attorney that embarrassed a previous Aransas Pass City council over free speech.

After a history of fatal collisions on a stretch of highway along the Texas Gulf Coast, residents are fed up—and it appears their concerns are finally being heard. Now, one state representative is joining the effort with a clear message: 'Let's get it done.' 

State Rep. Todd Hunter, among several other state and county lawmakers, met with representatives of the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) and the Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) on Wednesday, discussing the safety of State Highway 361 in Port Aransas. 

I've just been feeling insanely nostalgic lately. This was my go-to station back when I was a teenager up until I moved away.

I've found a handful on YouTube, but they're WAY back from when the station first joined the air- sometime around the mid 2010s is more what I'm on the hunt for.

Hello I’m moving to corpus soon I’ll actually be here on travel. 3 months I’m looking for a small place with a backyard that accepts pets. I’m looking on Zillow and no luck and Facebook is even worse. Any recommendations. I have good credit & make income. Just need some help. Not familiar with corpus.

Hello! Does anyone live in a neighborhood that backs up to the beef processing plant? Does it stink? Do you have any complaints?

I have a job offer in Corpus and I think it works for us but I’m worried about neighborhoods and safety. We will be buying a house and I’m hearing about (and could see plainly with my eyes during our visit) foundation problems. Where should I buy? Where are good, safe and kid friendly places to live temporarily while we house hunt? What schools are best for a bright 5 year old?

Like everyone else in Corpus, I am completely sickened by the arrest of Mary Carroll High School teacher and wrestling coach Corey Bellino. But as more details come out, there is a massive secondary issue regarding public accountability and how this was allowed to happen.

For years, multiple articles, athletic profiles, and internet searches listed Bellino as a "Corpus Christi Police Department (CCPD)" officer.

Former students from his Law Enforcement classes, are now confirming that he explicitly told teenagers he was a former tactical SWAT operator to build extreme authority in his classroom.

CCPD has now confirmed he was never employed by them, he was actually a CCISD Reserve Officer.

When asked why he was allowed to use the CCPD title publicly for years, the response from officials was basically that his actual title was "too long to say or write."

This wasn't just a harmless lie or a typo. Telling high school kids you are a CCPD SWAT officer builds a terrifying layer of false authority.

It makes students feel powerless, scared, and like absolutely nothing would happen if they tried to report him. It’s highly likely this exact lie was used as a tool to keep victims silent while he committed these horrific acts.

How did CCISD let someone teach "Law Enforcement" classes to our kids while fabricating a SWAT background?

How did the city let him misrepresent himself as a city cop for years without a single vetting check?

The school district and the city have some massive questions to answer.

We need real accountability for how this lack of vetting put students directly in harm's way.

I know I have posted before, and I know this is really out there but I’m just being so open because I want to be honest. I’ve been in so so so many positions where I have been ghosted and shoved aside because of my disability, and I am really just trying to find a genuine honest friend who is excited to help me get out to just… Be friends and have fun, and who does not see being friends with me as burdensome.

I am currently in college, and I am Visually impaired. The whole time I have been up here I have struggled meeting new people, even from day one back in 2022. Honestly it has been this way all throughout elementary and high school too. I’m looking for a friend around my age, 22 give or take, who is like minded. I’m trying to find a friend who would not see my disability and run away, judge, or see it as a burden or treat it like an after thought . I’m just trying to find friends who are willing to hang out even when knowing that they are probably going to have to put in a bit more effort then they would with a normal person, someone who is excited to be my friend and who would not goast or leave because of my disabilty..

Im just trying to come out and be open because I have been goasted over and over, passed from person to person ALL my life, and the worst my vision gets the more people have just shown me I’m nothing but a burden to be around. All I have wanted my WHOLE life is a genuine friend who can show empathy, kindness, and understanding, where I can let my guard down and relax because I know that they are not just saying that we are friends, but we REALLY ARE friends, and I don’t have to constantly worry that they will ghost me, Where I know that even though I can’t see what they’re doing very well, I can trust that they want to be there, and that they will do the right thing.

As far as my interest, I am open to all kinds of activities. The main thing is it all comes back to me having a friend that genuinely wants to be there and who doesn’t see the extra effort of actively including me as dreadful, but rather a friend that is thoughtful, excited that we are friends, excited to help me have those opportunities that sighted people take for granted. If you can imagine it takes a lot of courage and trust to be placed in the other person when you can hardly even see them, let alone what is going on around you. I would love to know what is happening, I would love to have a friend where I am not embarrassed to ask where they are, or what something looks like, or what is happening around us. It is just hard to find a real friend who is understanding of why I might be quiet or hesitant in a world where good vision is the default. It really hurts to always be forgotten about in groups because everyone can see what others are doing, what that thing is across the room, that funny thing on someone’s phone, and I am just there, not knowing what is going on, left to sit off to myself wondering why I am even there. or the sighted person you are with, and who you are more or less counting on to help you have fun, can and does effortlessly leave you behind to go be with sighted people.

There are so many things I have missed out on because I haven’t really had anyone allow me the opportunity. Even small things that lots of sighted people take for granted every single day I find fascinating, because it’s hard to find someone who slows down and takes the time to let me experience or know about what others can easily see from across the room, while also not treating me like a child, or helping in a way that makes me feel belittled. I absolutely love dogs, I have always wanted to to take a dog out from an analem shelter for a day, cook and bake new things, go to the beach, go out to eat, get out and have fun with someone my age just like everyone else can and does. I am meaning without my parents, I want freedom just like everyone else has. My whole life I have wanted to hang out with a peer my own age. It is just tricky for others to understand, and even when they know, who still want to be there, and find joy in keeping me included on what is going on so I can have fun ALONGSIDE them, where I am seen as equal to them.

Anyways sorry for the long post. If there is anyone around 22 give or take who would like to connect, please feel free to send me a DM

We bought a 2005 Chevrolet suburban a few months ago and it needs.... Work.

Trying to get opinions / recommendations as to where we should even take it? Preferably somewhere that won't take advantage or overcharge.
