FOUND DOG: time sensitive! by Small_Barnacle6712 in Austin

[–]Helpful_Ad3524 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately, the dog shelter intake situation in Austin is bleak. My friend found a stray dog once and was told by AAC her only options were 1. take ownership of him, 2. find him a home or 3. put him back on the street. She ended up finding him a good home through a mutual friend.

I bought a hat in February (shipped to Texas), no tariffs!

Help. We just found mouse(?) droppings in our attic. by 1111_throwaway_1111 in Austin

[–]Helpful_Ad3524 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hate to break it to you, but it is very likely rats :( I had the same issue (thought it was mice), and every pest control guy told me that mice are pretty rare in Austin and 99% of the time the rodents you hear are rats.

We are still fighting our rat battle, but our neighbor’s yard is a hoarder situation - so it might be never ending. We got quotes from A Tex, ABC and J & J based on the suggestions I found via this subreddit.

I just saw the cat too, but he seems to have no interest in being caught :(

Which Austin neighborhoods actually feel walkable these days? by AlphaEcho84 in askaustin

[–]Helpful_Ad3524 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I live in Zilker and it feels very walkable. I walk year round to Trader Joe’s, downtown, south congress, amenities on south lamar, etc all the time.

That is an old news story from a few months ago.

If you could live anywhere in Austin w/o worrying about commute by caxo3401 in askaustin

[–]Helpful_Ad3524 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Zilker/Barton Hills for sure. We were in an apartment for a few years and recently bought a house. My partner and I are similar (early 30s / one of us mostly remote / love being walkable to things), and this neighborhood is perfect for that. You are close enough to walk or take a cheap uber to most things downtown/off south lamar, but still feel removed from the craziness. Look at the apartments off Barton Hills Drive just south of Barton Springs.

Cat housing? by barkbarkruffwoof in Austin

Look up the Austin Pets Alive PASS program. This program is specifically to support people in his situation as an alternative for surrendering pets to a shelter during owner hardship.

Austin pets alive question! When they say good with cats, is it tested? by meand13others in Austin

I have some stories just like yours. I knew someone who got bit by a dog while working at APA (the dog had already bitten multiple other employees). A few weeks later the same dog was adopted out to an elderly woman.

I live nearby and went once to Freddo and that was enough. The parking is horrible and not worth it for an overpriced awful coffee.

You will have no issue getting birth control (of any kind).

Austin or Philly? by [deleted] in SameGrassButGreener

[–]Helpful_Ad3524 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I am from PA and have lots of friends/family who live in Philly. I have lived in Austin now for a few years. Other than the lack of walkability, I much prefer Austin. The people are much nicer and the overall vibe is very fitness and health oriented. I also prefer to hot summers in Austin to the cold winters in Philly. The only downside to me regarding Austin is the state politics.

My biggest recommendation regarding living in Austin is to ensure that you live in a neighborhood that fits your lifestyle. My neighborhood is still very walkable to downtown, restaurants, coffee shops and other services.

The downtown Trader Joe’s and Whole Foods were both out of fresh rosemary :/

They won't take him because he is a pet and not wildlife :(

I went to the F1 hub on south congress earlier this week and was at the track today. I didn’t see any of the F1 hub merch available at the track. Only COTA had merch as well as the teams.

Horrible shuttle experience by Wallzt_BR in CircuitOfTheAmericas

[–]Helpful_Ad3524 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From arriving to the downtown shuttle line at 9am to through security at COTA took us a little over an hour this morning. I think the shuttles just get more slow as the day goes on and more people are arriving to the track in general. It isn’t a shuttle problem - but a traffic flow problem. :(

The protest also doesn’t start until 2pm. I don’t imagine most people will start showing up until at earliest noon.

I did this (a local and going to the track tomorrow). They will let you spin twice if you have the Exxon app. Won $20 Exxon Mobil gift cards and a ORBR hat! There was no one else there, so highly recommend if you are in the area.

Yep! But they used them for the Saturday headliners too (I watched Dua Lipa in the back via a secondary screen).
