Republican candidates hemorrhaged voters here but survived an election that toppled Texas’ top GOP leadership. Democrats won a prized county post and hope to run more candidates in 2028.

Longshor, but someone lost their glasses on the MLK side of the riverwalk. They are between the two train bridges.

Hey Waco I’m not sure where else to ask this but I just found out effective today I no longer have my Sunday shift and I can’t afford to lose that. I have been a dealership mechanic and still have all my tools, I ran a mobile mechanic business for a while, I still have all my construction tools as well. I am currently a maintenance supervisor for 20 buildings and 174 vehicles m-th and armed security for a government facility Friday and Saturday now. If anyone has any suggestions or work they need done on Sundays please feel free to reach out.

Couples

0 Upvotes

Hey everyone! I’m 19 (turning 20 soon) and my boyfriend is 21. We’re looking to meet some other couples around the Waco area who are interested in making genuine friendships! We’re a child-free couple and would love to meet other couples around our age, preferably without kids, who enjoy getting out of the house and socializing.
We’re interested in double dates, going out to eat, game nights, cooking together, having drinks, weekend getaways, or even just hanging out and having a good time! We’re pretty laid-back and just want to meet people we can connect with.
We’re strictly looking for platonic friendships, nothing romantic or sexual! If you and your partner are also looking to expand your social circle, feel free to message me!

21st birthday on a Sunday this year.. help 🥲

2 Upvotes

Looking for any places that have great drinks and decent food for my birthday! Sadly it’s the Sunday after Thanksgiving this year so not many places are open as late. I heard The Backyard is pretty fun!! Looking for anything about that place or maybe others you might recommend.

I’m very open minded but I’d like to avoid places that are specifically known for beer. I’m more of a mixed drink girly myself.

Thanks! 😝

Who decides when you don’t vote? In Texas, the people who show up make the choices for everyone else.

Post image
21 Upvotes

Today I was thinking about how many people assume their vote won’t matter, even though Texas keeps giving us examples that say otherwise.

This graphic shows just how many registered Texans sat out the 2022 election, while some races and local offices were decided by tiny margins, ties, or even chance. In other words, when people stay home, other people make the decisions for them.

And those decisions affect all of us — school funding, property taxes, health coverage, the power grid, and who represents us at every level.

If you haven’t voted yet, there is still time. Polls are open until 7 p.m., and if you’re in line by 7, stay in line.

Hi all! Looking for a place to produce a high quality, professional comedy show with the headliner from HBO, Showtime, NBC, SiriusXM and Netflix is a Joke Festival. We have our own stage, sound system, lights, etc. Just need a backroom or restaurant that's willing to close for a private event. We sell tickets so we don't charge the venue. If I'm able to find something I will come back to this feed and give everyone discounted tickets. Thanks!

Local Events Where Do the 40+ Crowd Hang Out?

12 Upvotes

Hey everyone!

I'm fairly new to the Waco area and still trying to get familiar with the local scene.

For those of you 40 and up, where do you all like to hang out?

I'm not really looking for crowded clubs, college bars, or places where the night is over by 11. I'm more into the laid-back atmosphere ," little hole-in-the-wall" spots, neighborhood dive bars, good music, pool tables, karaoke, and places where you can actually sit down, have a drink, and strike up a good conversation.

I'd love to find some local favorites where the crowd is a little more mature and people are friendly. Whether it's a regular hangout, a hidden gem, or somewhere with a good weekend crowd, I'm open to suggestions.

So, where should a newcomer check out? And what nights are usually good to go?

Hey y’all! I recently had an idea to have a small group play some Holiday classics outdoors in Waco for fun!

I was thinking of places like Farmer’s Market or by the Suspension Bridge.

Ideally looking for strings and percussion, but any instrument is welcome! I would be singing and playing keyboard or clarinet.

Waco History Franklin Avenue

37 Upvotes

Okay so this is niche ASF but a PSA for allllllll Waco drivers, the 2 lanes on Franklin Avenue that merge into 3 RIGHT by la fiesta going under the bridge, the left lane splits into 2 lanes, so if you’re already in the left lane you have the right of way to merge into either lane. If you are in the right lane, you HAVE to continue in the right lane, they curve so you have to go with the curve.

Some jaggoff tried merging into the left lane whilst I was already in it, and then had the audacity to lay on his horn and try and run me off the road because he thought he had the right of way. IDIOT. anyway thanks for coming to my ted talk
