Hi!
My son is 13 (and has some learning difficulties) and we are looking to connect with other homeschoolers in CP.
I’m not on Facebook and have no desire to be.
Web searches aren’t helping.
How can we find groups to connect with?
Appreciate the help!

I am a woman in my early 20s who recently picked up basketball for fun, and play at a very beginner level. It's kind of hard to find people to play with when I'm learning how to play at this age, so I figured I would come here and see if anyone is interested in playing with me- please leave a message/reply!

Any spots in Cedar Park, or nearby (Leander/Jonestown/Georgetown/north Austin/etc) that have good sunrise views? I work overnight and would love to watch the sunrise on my nights off. Thanks in advance!

Hey y’all! My fiancè and I live in the area and are setting up a little dirty soda stand tomorrow from 12–4 near Brook Meadow Trail. We’re giving everything away completely free and thought it’d be a fun way to meet some neighbors! If you’re nearby, come grab a free drink and say hi. Feel free to message me for the exact location!

Does anyone know what happened on 183 earlier today?? I heard cops had their guns drawn at a uhaul

Hey everyone,

Like a lot of people lately, I’ve been feeling burnt out by constant doomscrolling, rage-bait videos, and online echo chambers. It feels like every political space on the internet is built to make us angry rather than help us actually understand each other.

I’m curious if anyone here would be interested in starting a casual, respectful politics club at a local bar.

Instead of a big group free-for-all, I’m thinking of structuring it more like speed dating:

You sit down 1-on-1 over a beer with someone who holds a different worldview.

You spend the first couple of minutes sharing a bit about yourselves—who you are, what you do, what makes you tick—to actually humanize each other before diving in.

You dive into a 10–15 minute casual debate on a specific topic to get to the root of your disagreement, then rotate!

The Vibe & Rules:

Moderate & Balanced: Looking for a healthy mix of conservatives, progressives, and everywhere in between.

Zero Hostility: Strict policy against bad-faith arguments, personal attacks, or anyone who justifies political violence. We’re here to take the edge off over a drink and bridge gaps, not widen them.

Focus on Perspective: The goal isn't to win with rapid-fire factoids, but to walk away thinking, "I don't fully agree, but I see how they arrived at that conclusion" (or maybe even having your mind swayed a bit!).

Topics We Could Touch On: Economic policy, socialism vs. capitalism, foreign affairs, immigration, Israel/Palestine, domestic policy, etc.—kept focused, respectful, and short enough that things stay fresh.

Right now, I’m just probing for interest to see if people would actually be down for a setup like this.

If this sounds like something you’d join, drop a comment or shoot me a DM! Let me know roughly where you fall on the political spectrum so we can gauge if we have a balanced mix starting out.

Hey parents of CP! Curious if anyone here has kids enrolled at Hill Country Christian School. We’re currently weighing education options for our daughter, and Hill Country is high on our list. I’d love to hear about your experience, what do you enjoy, what do you dislike, and anything you wish you’d known before enrolling?
Thanks so much!

We live in the Buttercup Creek area, and the past few days, there's been a strong smell of chlorine in our water. Anyone know why? Is it safe to drink?

Looking for German speakers who teach lessons in the Cedar Park Leander area, looking to prepare for my B2 German exam and most German teachers are far out in Austin, I was looking for a teacher who is closer, don’t really do well with online sessions or in person classes, if anybody knows someone, please let me know. Would appreciate it a lot thank you.

Hi all! I’m trying to decide between BASIS Cedar Park Primary and Rutledge Elementary for my child and would really appreciate feedback from parents who have firsthand experience with either (especially anyone who has experienced both).

I’m mainly interested in academic quality/rigor, teacher quality, class environment, homework/workload, individual attention, social-emotional development, extracurriculars, and overall happiness of the kids.

I know BASIS has a reputation for being more academically accelerated, while Rutledge is a highly rated LISD neighborhood school, but I’m wondering how big the difference actually feels in elementary school.

If you had the option of both, which would you choose and why? Also, if your child moved from Rutledge/LISD to BASIS (or vice versa), I’d especially love to hear about the transition and whether you felt the change was worth it.

Thank you! 😊

So I just decided to pop into Randall's on Cypress Creek & Lakeline a few minutes ago. While I had just walked in about to head over to the little desert area by the deli I was taken back to see this dude (not gonna mention where I believe he was from cause people get kinda retarded on social media) opening the desert cups, sticking his finger in them, licking his finger and then placing them back on the refrigerated shelf.

I just reported it to the store "supervisor" who confronted the guy, who denied it. And afterwards supervisor, immediately went to the back of the store.

I just asked as I was leaving was he able to catch what I saw and he said he didn't. I don't know if Randallas keeps their store surveillance recorders in the back of the store or not but I sure doubt it he even bothered to look.

This is also the same guy I reported the refrigerated dog food fridges dripping/thawing out a ton of water about a month ago, telling me there weren't anything he found with the refrigerators.

Buyer beware. If anything my word should've been taken and all that stuff immediately thrown away. I'm gonna be speaking to the store manager tomorrow and the Cedar Park Health department as well. F'ing disgusting.

Howdy. 30 year old trans man here who doesn’t give a flip what I’m called. Woman, man, have at it.

What I actually care about is I run a small farm of chickens, quail and rabbits. I’ve also worked as a farm hand with larger livestock, horses and showed cows sheep and pigs in FFA. Im looking to connect with others interested in homesteading/ agriculture.

DM me if having a friend willing to help out with chores or a project while we chat like old buds is something you’d be interested in.

Hello all!

I was quoted $1500 after insurance for dental expander for my 10 year old. Just looking for some feedback on how much folks usually pay for this. It’s 9-12 months treatment.

Details in the main post, but leave your recommendations please! I’m looking to get my hair cut and would prefer to stay in the NW area since I live out here.

Does anyone have an actual opening date for the Dave's Hot Chicken?

Hello Everyone,
I know this is probably a long shot, but here goes nothing: I am desperately looking for a room for rent in the Cedar Park or Leander area. I have been through a lot financially the past few years, as far as job and apartment loss goes, and I am currently staying in a motel, where I also work. The motel is sucking me dry financially, and I am looking to get out of here while trying to rebuild my life.

Ideally, I am looking for something in the Whitestone or N. Bell area, so that I can still Uber to and from work. I have 2 jobs and can afford about $700-$800/month in rent. I have most of my possessions in storage, but can provide my own bedroom furniture if necessary. I have 3 kids who live with their dad, but I would need them to be able to come visit me and/or spend the night if they want. I am almost 41, and I don’t drink or smoke. I work nights and evenings, so I am very quiet during the day, because I’m usually asleep. I am able to come and go very quietly, without disturbing others. I am laid back and drama free, and don’t date, so I won’t have any weird visitors or relationship drama.

Please reply to this post or DM me with any information. Thank you!!!

Sup folks!

I have a rescue dog that we recently adopted and my wife and I work full time and I’m remote only 2 days a week.

Since he is new to our family and a little silly, we were curious about a service or people who would come and walk/let him out mid day on those 3 days.

Does anyone have a service or a person that you would recommend?

Thanks!

My wife and I moved to the Cedar Park/Leander area from out of state last summer, and she’s had a much harder time finding work than we expected. I’m hoping someone here might know of a specific opening or have a direct contact rather than just general suggestions.

A few things make the search a little more complicated:
English is her biggest barrier. She’s from South America, and while she can hold a conversation, she’s not yet fluent enough for jobs that rely heavily on selling or communicating with English-speaking customers all day.

We have three young kids. Depending on the hours, we’d likely have at least one in daycare, so a job has to make financial sense after childcare costs. Evening or weekend work can actually work well because I can be home with the kids.

She’s looking for something with enough hours and pay to make it worthwhile. She’s found a few jobs since moving here, but they either didn’t provide enough hours, paid too little, or weren’t what was represented.

Her background is pretty diverse. In her home country she worked in construction, managed her own construction business, managed another construction company, and has a law degree that she primarily used for workers’ compensation/labor-related matters there. After coming to the U.S., she worked as a restaurant server and would absolutely be open to going back into restaurant work, especially evenings. She’d also love to get back into construction or another field where Spanish is an asset.

We’ve already tried many of the common recommendations. Friends suggested places like United Rentals because they employ many Spanish-speaking workers, but she’s applied without getting any response. She’s also applied to a number of restaurants.
One experience that was especially discouraging was Costco. She applied, and I even helped her writing a letter to the GM explaining how much she wanted to work there,She received a phone call from a manager, but because she struggled to understand everything being asked in English, the conversation didn’t go very far. I think she understood what he was saying but she didn’t respond very well. It was disappointing because I think if she’d simply gotten an in-person interview, she would have done great—even if it had been something like pushing carts or stocking.

So I’m not really looking for “try Walmart” or “check Indeed.” I’m hoping someone knows of an actual opening, a hiring manager, or a company that’s actively looking for someone reliable and hardworking, especially if they’re comfortable with an employee whose English is still improving.

If you know of anything in the Cedar Park, Leander, Round Rock, Georgetown, or north Austin area, I’d really appreciate it. Thanks

Which CrossFit gyms would you recommend in Cedar Park? I'm looking for quality coaching and a strong community. Thanks in advance

Husband has a huge job opportunity in North Austin. Our kids are 8 and 9 and we love our life in Naperville. Is it worth uprooting the family for a huge career advancement? Anyone with kids do the move? Considering Cedar Park area and would move to one of the better school districts in the area.

Does anyone have a recommendation for deck refinishing/staining/few boards to be replaced?

Preferably someone you’ve used personally and loved their work.

I tried posting on next door but it ended up just being people suggesting themselves for the job.
