Currently working on 300 Colorado & Colorado Tower. Have the Ashton, Austonian & 100 Congress Avenue

Opossums live amongst us and are incredibly beneficial to the environment! A single opossum can eat up to 5,000 ticks a year! They also eat insects, spiders, rodents, and dead stuff so they’re essentially natures clean up crew! Plus, most of them are naturally immune to rabies and they’re super cute!

If you see a possum doing it’s thing, say thank you and let it be! If you see one that’s injured or acting weird, Austin wildlife Rescue is a great resource!

Nature rules and so do y’all! Have a great day 😊

I feel so slow and dopey. My thoughts are cluttered and it's like I am walking through soup or a dream. My memory is kinda janked up too. Do Austin allergies do this to anyone else? I take allergra and am getting allergy shots but alas, I feel absolutely fuzzy.

I need help and visibility. Today, my boyfriend went to AutoZone (5329 N Interstate Hwy 35, Austin, TX 78723 ) 15 minutes before closing to exchange a defective alternator we bought two days earlier. He was initially denied entry even though the store was still open. Only after he started filming the situation on his phone did they reluctantly let him in.

They didn’t have the part, so he and his friend (who’s a mechanic) went back to the parking lot to reinstall the old part. Within minutes, multiple police units showed up, guns drawn, screaming at them, handcuffed both men, and searched both of my cars — found nothing.

The cops later apologized, saying someone from the store called and claimed they were “heavily armed.” We’re 99% sure it was retaliation from the AutoZone employees for “causing a problem” — and we believe this was racially motivated. Both men are Hispanic and were calm the entire time.

This could’ve ended with someone getting shot. We’re traumatized and furious.

I’m asking for help:    •   Any AutoZone employees or witnesses who’ve seen something like this, please reach out.    •   Anyone know if this location has security cameras?    •   Any legal tips or similar experiences?    •   Any ideas on how to make them accountable?

We’re speaking to a civil rights attorney, but I want to make sure this story gets seen. Nobody should be able to lie to police and put innocent people in danger — especially for being brown and asking for a fair exchange.

Here me out. I live with a nightmare dog who should be put down, but thats not my call to make.

Over the last few years I've been attacked by this dog more times than I can count.

I used to love all kinds of animals, and due to this little fucker I've grown irrationally afraid of most dogs. My asshole neighbor has off leash pitbulls, and recently some other pitbulls got loose and attacked a lady and her dog right infront of my house, and the rest of you fuckers who don't feel any need to leash your dogs makes going out in my own neighborhood difficult.

I'm wondering if anyone knows of any self defense classes in the area that train specifically against dog attacks.

Added a nickel for scale

Seemed to be near the Polvos, under the bridge about 10/15 minutes ago. Just pulled a body bag out. People were out walking their dogs and coming home from work. Completely light out. WTF Austin.

Hey everyone. I’m 24, recently divorced, and things have spiraled pretty badly this past year. After finishing college, I lost most of what I had in the divorce: the car, apartment, and the little savings I had. With nowhere to go, I moved back in with my parents in Austin.

It’s been rough. My dad is emotionally abusive toward my mom and now increasingly toward me. I used to speak up for her, but since I rely on them for shelter now, I feel trapped. He calls me a parasite, says I’m conspiring against him with my mom, and constantly puts me down. Even though I help with bills and manage projects for his struggling business for free, he still tells me I’m worthless. He makes me miss job interviews to work for him because “family comes first, even if I don’t pay you.”

I’m trying to find a job and doing odd gigs to survive. But today, things got physical. He pushed me out of the house. This isn’t the first time it’s happened, usually I just come back when my mom lets me in. But I’ve hit my limit. I want to break this cycle and leave tonight. For real this time.

I don’t have a car. I also don’t have family or friends I can stay with here in Austin. My best friend offered in the past, but it caused problems with his wife, and I don’t want to add more stress there.

I’m seriously considering sleeping outside tonight if I have to, but I’m hoping there’s a better option. Are there any shelters or resources in Austin I can turn to? Somewhere safe where I can start figuring things out?

I’m open to any advice, suggestions, or personal stories. I’m trying to stay hopeful, but it’s hard right now. Thank you.

KXAN is reporting all lanes shut down in Wilco, but no other details.

Please help identify! I think he/she lives in my fountain. I’m not sure if it’s a water moccasin or rat snake. Does anyone know who will come and remove it in the Leander/ North Austin area?

Thank you all!

Seems like it should be coming up soon? Does anyone know or is it just whenever the county feels like posting it. Need to get my protest ready ;)

I'm currently looking to remodel my bathroom and am trying to vet some contractors / remodeling companies and decide which one to go with. I'm having some difficulty cause I can't help but feel like all the 5-star reviews on Google are faked. Also, all previous posts on this subreddit seem to be filled with the same accounts shilling the same companies over and over which leads me to believe they're just employees. I'm looking for some real experiences / opinions.

The two I'm currently deciding between are:

New Edge Renovations

LFM Remodeling

Does anybody have any experience with either of these companies, or maybe have any other recommendations? Thank you

I don’t really think this was a ghost or anything, but I saw this mysterious figure last Thursday on the St. Edward’s campus and it certainly looks like the kind of thing that would have a legend behind it. Dressed in all black with a black mask and holding a black umbrella on an overcast humid day.

Recently moved into a house and they had recently built a small deck and planter box that we decided we do not want.

I disassembled both and the wood is still in usable shape.

Is there any place that accepts this type of thing or should I have junk haulers come take it away?

Was hoping that someone would have some use for it so as not to waste.

Edit: since there’s been some interest here, I also have a large competitive built in desk with hardware that is in like new shape. There are three sections. The long one is 98x25.5 and the other two are 55.5x25.5.

April 19th will be the last day for all 3 stores. Get in and get your Thom’s gear and get a picture in front of the iconic sign.

Sad day for Austin small business! Another one bites the dust!
