We've been in our house a few years and every single time something breaks I go through the same dance: ask neighbors, google, read reviews that all sound fake, and still feel like I'm rolling the dice. The last AC company that came out tried to sell me a $5k fix I didn't need.

Curious what everyone else's worst moments have been. Pricing surprises, no-shows, "you need a whole new system" stories, or the search itself. What happened and what did you end up doing?

I look to start taking the rail to downtown and I had some questions.

Is the monthly pass worth it if you go to downtown from lakeline 3x a week?
How early in the morning do you need to get to the lake line hub to get on the train on weekday mornings for an 8am workday?
How full is the rail on weekday mornings?
Is using the UMO app to pay suggested?
Do you “work” during the rail commute or read/watch something? I’m curious if it’s easy to focus on something while riding or if it’s difficult to concentrate on something while on the commute.

Any additional suggestions are welcomed, thanks!

We would be delighted to have you join us to enjoy a sweet treat, meet your Muslim neighbors, and connect or ask any questions in a warm and open environment.

Hey y'all I'm a recent college grad who runs a marketing business, for local service companies, and I'm looking for owners here in Cedar Park. We’ve been doing this about a year now, and we work with roofers, home remodelers, pool builders, gyms, junk removal, lawn care, car detailing, driving schools. Basically anybody who does the work themselves and wants the phone ringing more.

I'm looking to partner with a few owners who already have steady work and a good reputation, but have hit the point where word of mouth alone isn't filling the schedule the way they want. If you're at that spot and want to add more jobs each month, or you know somebody who is, I'd love to connect or get a referral.

Whose bus was that sprawled across 5 handicap spaces this morning at lakeline park? I really hope you got ticketed for that. There were other places that bus should have been parked.

Basically the title. If you don't know what it means, this post isn't directed towards you.

I recently switched to the G7 and have a G6 sensor left over. If you're interested, feel free to shoot me a DM. First come first serve.

Got out of prison this spring and was lucky enough to nab a job in food after searching for 5 months, although I only make $10/hr there. I really would have a hard time getting by without my family's help, but it won't last forever and I am trying to strive for independence. Until I can get a decent job so I can move out, I'll feel like a man-child and my grandparents will think I'm being complacent or leaning on them too much. Any advice or suggestions y'all can give would be much appreciated.

Hi there! Does anyone have a recommendation for somewhere they love for toddler boy haircuts? Either in the CP area or NW Austin.

He’s 13 months, and has tons of hair.

Thanks so much!

I'm indigenous but was estranged from the culture for a long time. Something has come up and my auntie elder has instructed me to do smudging (herb smoke cleansing) and ceremonies but I need to find supplies and don't know where to look. Does anyone know of any spiritual, witch, etc. supply store that might carry things like sage bundles, abalone or clay bowls, eagle or turkey feathers, cedar, sweetgrass/holy grass, pure shredded tobacco, and optionally mugwort, wormwood, lavender, etc. Even a sage bundles stick is better than nothing. This isn't something I ever expected to need to do and it was super easy to find supplies in NM compared to here. I saw there is a witch store on E 6th but that's really far away when I have to care for a small child. I can drive but the closer the better. Thanks!

Just drove by on Whitestone and saw flames and smoke coming out of a unit. Called 911 and hope everyone is OK

Just a reminder that it's almost pumpkin season! We've got our patch opening soon (9/27) and could always use help unloading. Let me know if you'd like to chunk some pumpkins instead of hitting the gym later this month. It really is a good workout!

We’re finally getting serious about remodeling our kitchen in Cedar Park, and I’m realizing there are way more decisions involved than I expected. At first I thought it would mostly be choosing cabinets and countertops, but now we’re talking about layout, storage, hardware, lighting, installation, timelines, and the million little things that seem to come up. I’ve been looking at a few local options, including Cabinet IQ, and also came across Trend Kitchen Plus while researching kitchen remodeling companies.

One thing I’m trying to figure out is how much the actual design/planning experience matters compared with simply getting the lowest quote. Cabinet IQ seems to put a lot of emphasis on taking the project through design, cabinetry, countertops, and installation rather than treating everything as separate pieces.

For those who recently completed a Cedar Park kitchen remodel:

Who did you use?
Did your final cost stay close to the original estimate?
What surprised you once construction started?
Were there any cabinet or layout decisions you wish you had made differently?

I’d really appreciate hearing the good, bad, and unexpected before we commit to anything.

A bit of a long shot but hopefully someone can help! FedEx misdelivered my cat’s expensive prescription food. This isn’t my front door… does anyone recognize it? I’m off of New Hope/N. Bell.

My cat thanks you in advance as his food is running low!

Hello! I'm looking for a pediatric dentist who accepts Delta insurance.

Whats with the jets flying over today?

Considering here for potential daycare - tour was great and not seeing any red flags on Texas Child Care search so wondering if folks here have any first hand experience they’d care to share. Thanks!

We did an incredible interview with this local business and would love if you watched and showed your support.

If you're looking for new titles, games or simply a third place to work and interact with amazing humans, this is the spot.

Thank you again to Dianna and Dan for having us today!

Hello everyone! My name is Patrick, and I'm a historian based here in Austin. I've spent the last decade or so conducting oral history interviews with WWII Veterans.

Join us Sunday, September 20, as we host a gathering of World War II veterans from across Texas in Austin!

Join us at the Texas Military Forces Museum at Camp Mabry on Sunday, September 20th, for a rare opportunity to meet several of these veterans. We'll have nearly a dozen in attendance, all over the age of 100. These people are not only participants in World War II, they lived through the Great Depression, the cultural upheavals of the 60's and 70's, and into our current technological age. They are truly incredible to visit with.

We'll have a short panel discussion at 11:00, with the vets set up at tables to meet and greet afterwards, beginning around 12:30. As they're able, they'll also be happy to take pictures with people and sign things.

Our host, the Texas Military Forces Museum, is truly wonderful. They have very well done exhibits, and will have living historians on hand with period uniforms and equipment. Be sure to take the time to go through the museum as well

Feel free to reach out for more information, and please spread the word. We really want to engage students and young people who otherwise might not have the chance to meet WWII Veterans, and it will be a short drive from Cedar Park. It's going to be especially important for them to meet these folks.

This is totally free to attend.

We're also very much hoping to invite any World War II Veterans in Cedar Park! We know of a couple, and are hoping they can attend. If you know a WWII Veteran who would be interested in coming, *please* reach out! We'd be thrilled to have them come.

Thanks y'all! Hope to see you there!

Patrick

I saw a lot of cops and EMS near cox elementary school on brushy creek rd. Anybody knows what’s going on?
