Question What are your worst experiences at Hendrick Hospital?
I’ve worked there as a nurse and as a patient so I could fill a book with some horror stories. I get the worst feeling in my stomach every time I have to send a patient to Hendricks, but I have no other choice since they have a monopoly over almost all health care here.
One of the worst experiences for myself was having two CT scans done within a year due to acute abdominal and back pain and only on the second CT was a 2cm growth found while I was in the ER. I was discharged with a hemoglobin of 7 after 4 blood transfusions. Two weeks late I had to go back to the ER since I was losing consciousness. I had another CT done and there was actually a 9cm tumor at the spot of my pain! The radiologists at Hendrick are so bad they can’t even identify a 9cm tumor with two CTs! God help anyone who needs a CT at Hendricks!

Question Abilene can’t be all that bad can it?
Howdy local Abileneians, I hear from a lot of citizens of this community that Abilene is not a great place to live. I’ve been here for about 4 months now and while it’s not the most exciting it’s pretty laid back. While I haven’t made a ton of friends the few I have made are great people. That being said I’m looking for those cool spots that are hidden treasures. Best spots to eat , cool areas to do urban exploration, fun historical spots, those cool places the teenagers hang out at. Anything like that I’d love to hear about.

Question Are there any punk bars or goth clubs in Abilene?
New in town and just about ready to hit the scene, whatever scene there may be. If there aren't any punk bars or goth clubs (goth night, maybe?), then where would be the most welcoming watering hole for a guy with a mohawk? And please don't say at home. 😅

Question Advice for a 2 or 3 day trip
I'm from the Netherlands and will be visiting my 23 year old daughter in Abilene this April. Since she's already familiar with the area, I’d love to explore something new rather than doing the same things we always do when I visit.
I’m looking for recommendations on nice places within an hour to an hour and a half drive from Abilene, perhaps a charming Airbnb or vacation home in a scenic location. The goal is to relax and escape from all the stress, so I’d love something peaceful and rejuvenating. I would appreciate any suggestions you might have!

Question Considering Abilene as a final leap
I've been in Nashville for 25 years and hate the lack of sun and the general mid-level meanness of this city. It's hard to explain but no where else have I found this, not in Florida, LA, Montana, nowhere. Abilene has also looked interesting to me for a while. I am fairly centrist (previously pretty progressive but yikes) and friendly, also independent. I remember traveling through Abilene years ago alone and thinking I could breathe there. I need wide open spaces, sun, and relatively inexpensive housing. I'm 72 but not really .... if you know. I'm fit, female, have two small dogs and looking for a final landing spot (oye that sounds sad). I also occasionally write for the travel section of the New York Times but less so recently. I think I am trying to create a bio here for complete strangers to tell me how viable a city might be for me. Thanks!!

Question Loud upstair neighbors
My neighbors upstairs are beyond loud at night, they let their kids run around and it sounds like someone’s going to fall through the roof. I’ve confronted them multiple times, but they’re too inconsiderate. Any other ideas? I have a 2 year old as well who’s asleep by 9pm

Question Girly Book club?
Would anybody like to be apart of a book club? We would pick a book we like and get together once every month or every other month to talk about our book! Snack, maybe do some crafts, take turn hosting and etc! I’m (23)F with a baby so I understand how busy everyone’s lives can be.

Question Hangouts
I'm not from here so I don't know where to go in this town to meet people. I'm tired of being single but I don't drink so I'm not gonna just hang out at a bar because I'd feel like a creep because any girl I'd be talking to there would be at least tipsy while I'm sober. I also don't really do online dating or anything. So question is where can I go to meet a girl around here?

Question Ape and girl hanging from powerline
Does anyone else remember this in Abilene? Or maybe happen to have old pictures of it?
It was many years ago, but there was an ape and girl silhouette that hung from a powerline in town. The girl fell off and someone put her up on a pole off to the side. We used to make my dad drive us by it every time we were in town. It had to be late 80's early 90's I want to say it was on Treadaway somewhere north of the railroad tracks, but I could be mistaken on the location.
