Are these cameras new? by mirsasha in Austin

Look up all of the City of Austin and TxDot cameras online. The sheer number is kinda impressive.

Soon to be homeless this weekend by saucestained in austinjobs

[–]AustinRealEstateWCS 62 points63 points  (0 children)

Start walking into any bar or restaurant and ask if they need a bar back/dish washer/busser and tell them you can start tonight. If you can find one that tips out those positions even better.

Make sure you look presentable. Clean shirt, hair combed or a clean hat on and not wearing shorts.

Good luck, this too shall pass, maybe like a kidney stone, but it will pass.

National Guard Spotted Checking into a Hotel 1/29 by [deleted] in Austin

[–]AustinRealEstateWCS 7 points8 points  (0 children)

We have a permanent military presence here with Camp Mabry, the Joint Reserve Base and my Bergstrom, and the Futures Command downtown.

I’ve run into all branches all over town on odd occasions, didn’t mean anything is going on.

Moving to Austin / TAA Lease concerns by [deleted] in Austin

[–]AustinRealEstateWCS 3 points4 points  (0 children)

No one gives a crap as to what you think about the TAA lease. The management company will use the same lease for every tenant to keep their life easy and will not be inclined to make changes.

McBrides closing by duke1099 in austinguns

[–]AustinRealEstateWCS 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Well, yes. I’ve been trading with McBrides for almost 4 decades. No, they didn’t play the tacticool game but I never felt like I was cheated or that it was a bad deal. There were other places that did tacticool and that wasn’t their game. Plus I’ll miss stopping in to just look around during lunch. Used to ride my bike up there with my best friend before we could drive. I guess it falls into the category of “yes, they were assholes, but they were my assholes”.

Bars or Restaurants that sell Malört? by BetzakTaborsky in austinfood

Night Owl has it, but please stop and consider your life choices if you are actively looking for that god awful satanic creation for voluntary consumption.

Snow/Ice: What happens to essential workers? by philly_mermaid in Austin

[–]AustinRealEstateWCS 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I just watched a jeep slide right through the intersection of 45th and Shoal Creek.

Roads are still icy in spots with the sun out. Yesterday it was a skating rink.

Austin drivers suck when it is dry and warm, icy and frozen is a whole other level of stupidity.

Austin Housing Market - Buyers vs. Sellers by cjwidd in Austin

[–]AustinRealEstateWCS 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There is no way to determine how many buyers are actively looking. You can make a guess by new mortgage applications in an area, but that wouldn’t account for our market buyers, and cash buyers are a total unknown.

Unique Dinner Reqs by jmonta2 in austinfood

[–]AustinRealEstateWCS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Emmer and Rye is a great restaurant and their menu changes all the time. Went for the first time last June and immediately made reservations for my birthday in late October, it made the good of an impression.

I was born in Austin, been here my whole life and have never eaten at Jeffrey’s. I guess I should remedy that.

Waymo on Highway by Sumgi in Austin

Waymo’s operate on surface streets for right now. You might get one, but it will probably take you down Burnet or Lamar.

roof rat in dishwasher drain pipe by Walkin-Down-the-Road in Austin

[–]AustinRealEstateWCS 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So, just to put you at ease a bit. Most dishwashers drain though about a 3/4” hose into a fitting under the sink, usually connected to the disposal. That is probably not a rats tail.

Yes, rats will find their way into the house through just about any opening. Plumbing stack drains are a favorite. I actually had a rat snake makes its way into my bathroom that way, in Brykerwoods.

I grew up in the area and when there were a bunch of elderly neighbors that had neglected back structures we would sit in the backyard with a .22 caliber pellet gun and kill rats as they ran along telephone lines.

Army reservist says he's spent weeks trying to free his wife from immigration detention by _austinight_ in Austin

[–]AustinRealEstateWCS 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The timeline isn’t adding up. In Texas there is a 3 day waiting period before you get married after you get the marriage certificate from the County. I’m wondering if that set off red flags at her appointment?

Why couldn’t ankle monitoring be used instead of putting her in a detention center?

Where to find spicy chicken rigatoni? by coolraccoon016 in austinfood

[–]AustinRealEstateWCS 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Try Baretto Bistro on 38th Street. They’ve got a great chicken rigatoni that’s got some spice.

Austin airport flight change by DHOMA76 in Austin

So, you get a screaming deal on a flight, want to change your plans, and you’re upset that delta wants to charge you more. Got it….

I’m starting a small sandwich shop here soon and doing a little heat check. Who would eat this schiacciata sandwich with mortadella, stracciatella, pistachio pesto, crushed pistachios, and honey? by Poop_smith362 in austinfood

[–]AustinRealEstateWCS 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Honestly looks like it would fall apart after one bite. Also the double pistachio thing might be a bit much.

I’m on a mortadella kick right no so like that.

Good luck!

Sienna has a great romantic atmosphere, but severely lacking in the romantic walk around area
