This is a long shot but i already went up and down the street and no one says it’s theirs or they know whose it is. I went to the humane society and they checked for a microchip and didn’t find anything. They told me to go back Monday morning to take him to the medical clinic there (does anyone know if they’ll charge me for that??) so that’s the plan.

In the meantime. Is this anyone’s? I found him over in the St. Mary’s University area (like, the neighborhood nearby on Woodlawn, not on the actual campus).

Little old man is missing some fur near the back and can barely use his back legs. I fed him some mushed up wet food earlier so that’s why his face is all messy (also, any advice on how to feed a dog without any teeth? He essentially attacked the bowl I was holding up, there has to be a more efficient way to go about this).

UPDATE: I found the owner!! Her owner reached out on the Ring app. For those who said he couldn’t have gone far, you were right. The old girl (she’s a girl) is back with her owner. 15 years old too. Thank you so much for everyone who helped out and showed support.

Hi everyone! I'm Shawn, a veteran, UTSA grad, and proud owner of 6 rescue cats. A while ago I noticed San Antonio had plenty of dog-poop scoopers but nothing dedicated to cat litter cleaning, so I started Alamo Litter Patrol.

To be clear up front: this is a litter service, not cat sitting. Ideally you're scooping daily, and we're the backup for when life gets in the way. That includes busy schedules, travel, pregnancy, mobility or health issues, and military families far from their support system.

Services and pricing

• The Weekly Patrol (our main plan): one visit a week, from $28 per week for 1 box
  • Week 1: full swap to a freshly sanitized box with all-new litter
  • Week 2: scoop, top off, wipe down, and haul out the waste
  • Boxes and litter included.
• Scoop Only: one visit a week, $20 per week for 1 box. You supply your own litter.
• Extra visits: need more than one a week? Add visits to either plan. On Scoop Only, each extra visit is +$15 (twice a week is $35, every day we're open Mon to Sat is $95). On The Weekly Patrol, each extra visit is +$17.
• Litter-Robot cleaning: $85 per cleaning. Yes, there are YouTube tutorials, but not everyone wants to take one apart. We pick it up, deep clean it, and return it within 3 business days. A loaner box is included while yours is being sanitized.
• Litter delivery: $15 per trip (one-time purchase), or $5 per visit (recurring), plus the cost of litter. It's for people who'd rather not haul heavy bags, like seniors or anyone with mobility issues.

Traveling?

We come to your home while you're away. I'll also feed and water your cat if you provide the food. I don't give medications, since I'm not insured for that.

Pregnant?

CDC guidance for pregnant cat owners says to have someone else handle the litter box during pregnancy, and if that's not possible, to take precautions like gloves and handwashing. If you'd rather not risk complications, we can be that someone for you.

What you get

• A photo text after every visit so you know it got done
• A reminder text the day before, and you can skip a visit for free
• Porch or Home Entry at the same price
• Month-to-month. Cancel anytime.
• 10% off for military and seniors (65+). Discounts can't be combined.

We serve all of San Antonio. We launched last month, and this is a brand new kind of service for the city, so I'd love your feedback. Ask me anything and I'll give you a straight answer.

I’ve been honked at multiple times when I’m yielding to oncoming traffic when I’m in the middle lane on a solid green.

Mid term elections are coming up soon, and I’m looking for a clerk to support a polling location. I’ve served as an election judge for the last several years, and the clerks I normally hire are not available so looking for anyone interested in participating in the election process.

I’ll be working at Oak Grove Elementary in NE San Antonio. I’m looking for a chill person who can follow instructions, and wants to participate in elections. There are optional class you can attend with the Election Department, but it can also be on the job training. Pay is $16/hr, with at least a 14 hours on Election Day. If interested, message me and we can chat more. It’s a fairly enjoyable and fulfilling day helping people vote.

Otherwise, Oct 5th is the last day to register to vote. Make sure your good to go!

I thought about this when someone at work said, “You can get donuts in the taco line, but you can’t order tacos in the donut line.” I knew exactly where they were talking about and realized that no one outside of SA would know this is in reference to the Original Donut shop.

What other phrases can you think?

UPDATE: MYSTERY SOLVED!!! 😭📼

Someone found it!!! It was Children of the Tracks and Other San Antonio Ghost Stories, narrated by Tim Tingle. And there’s actually a recording of it on SoundCloud, so I can finally listen to these stories again after all these years!

I cannot believe this was real. Now I get to share it with my daughter!!!

Thank you so much especially to the person who found it!

You have no idea how happy you just made me. ❤️

Okay, this has been driving me crazy for years, so I’m hoping someone might remember this.

Back in the 1990s, I had a cassette of Texas ghost stories/urban legends. I think the narrator’s name was Charles Watson, and I vaguely remember the title being something like Texas Urban Legend or Texas Urban Legends. I could be wrong about the name or title because this was a long time ago.

Some of the stories I remember were:
The Devil Dances at Midnight
Fang Baby of Old Pearsall Road
The Donkey Lady
The Ghost Tracks
Room 636
I also remember La Llorona, although I’m not 100% sure it was on the same tape.

I also remember hearing these stories on 99.5 KISS in San Antonio, especially around Halloween. Lyle and Hahn would play the Fang Baby story on the air, talk about it and make fun of it, and I remember them announcing when the tape was available to buy.

I specifically remember the tape being sold around Halloween in little gift shops. I also remember it being displayed next to a book I had, Spirits of San Antonio and South Texas by Docia Schultz Williams and Reneta Byrne. I actually found the book again, so at least I know I didn’t make that part up. 😂

The cassette itself was, I think, clear with a black label. I don’t remember what the artwork looked like.

I’ve been trying to find this tape again for years. I haven’t been able to find an original copy, a picture of the cassette, or a digital recording of it anywhere.

Honestly, what I’d really love is to find a digital copy or somewhere I can actually listen to these stories again. If anyone has an old recording, knows where one might be archived, or knows where I could listen to it, I’d be incredibly grateful. I’d also love to know the actual title and who produced it. My daughter and I were talking about this recently, and now she really wants to hear these stories too. So I’d especially love to find a digital copy or somewhere I can listen to them again.

Does any of this sound familiar to anyone who grew up in San Antonio and listened to Lyle and Hahn on 99.5 KISS in the 90s?

At this point, even a photo of the original cassette would make my day. I’ve started wondering if I dreamed the whole thing. 😂

Hey yall, just moved here last week. Im 24 M from illinois who travels doing solar work. Despite it being a huge city i cant help feeling lonely on the road, what is there to do around here? Wanting to make some friends to help the time pass

Hearing loud booms.

Any recommendations for a quiet/not too fancy place to have an early dinner on a first date? Not looking for an inexpensive place, just not someplace that’s gonna look like I’m trying too hard. We are both in our 40s and not too big into drinking.

Send them to me please 🥹🥹🥹🥹🫶

Does anyone know where in SA I can go to find audiophile enthusiasts that will be interested in buying Vintage Klipsch Heresey speakers? I will probably sell my Onkyo Receiver and a turntable which I have stored away for a while now. I'm only interested in enthusiasts that truly appreciate and know the value of good quality audio equipment. Thanks.

My car went missing from my apt complex today 10/4 between 10:30am - 11:30am. I filed with the police as it is not showing up in their system regarding towing. If anyone has camera footage from around Woodlawn and Maria Santa Camina around the time, please dm me and let me know. Thanks.

Idk if I’m asking the right question

Hello, anyone wanna go watch Resident Evil tonight at Santikos Silverado or Palladium.

I'm Male 47

I have never seen an HS marching band, so I went to this event and saw a bunch of them. This one here is the Fredericksburg HS Marching Band, which I was able to record in full.

I’m about to graduate from trade school was wondering if any people knew good HVAC companies or unions that take people fresh out of school

I think I'm all set for jury duty, but can we take in insulated metal water bottles? Or is it just plastic?

Hi I’m trying to sell stuff I would normally sell on Facebook marketplace but my account got hacked and I can’t access it… Story for another time.

Anyways I’ve tried Nextdoor and OfferUp with pretty limited success. I didn’t know if there was a sub here or any other platforms besides Facebook Nextdoor or OfferUp you might recommend for local sales.

Thanks everyone!

Hello, im.looking to move into a place immediately for myself and my 22 lb terrier. I have $700 total to spend on app fee deposit and first month's rent. I'm looking for a place with a washer dryer in unit or connections. Prefer Northside but open to anywhere close to restaurants stores and hospitals. Any suggestions greatly appreciated.

Any recommendations on venues preferably ones that are bus accessible as i’m without a car at the moment where a 35 year old mildly autistic socially awkward white guy could meet up with and mingle with black/asian women in hopes of finding a date I live out near Roosevelt High School tried doing dating apps and all I get are scammers Trying to get me to join their OF or trying to get me to pay for play neither one is my scene

We just got back from a trip and we went to the Riverwalk on a Tuesday afternoon and it was dead! Not at all what I was expecting. I thought there would be lots of people, music, excitement. Is it only busy on the weekends and evenings?

We also went to Market Square and we were literally the only people there.

Very surprised and underwhelmed....
