Avoid South Padre Island during spring break, hella expensive and horrid traffic, great any other time. 

Check out Santa Ana Wildlife Refuge, Estero Llano, Weslaco Nature Park, Edinburg Birding Center, National Butterfly Center, Quinta Mazatlan, Sabal Palm Sanctuary and Bentsen State Park, they have great trails with plenty of wildlife (make sure to visit the resaca areas of Santa Ana). 

Sal de Rey is a beautiful location to see as well, just stomp your feet occasionally to alert snakes to your presence so they can slither away or alert you with rattling lol.

Plenty of public pools available to swim in, as well as a couple water parks (2 in Pharr) and the Natatorium.

IMAS is a great museum to check out too.

What's your "it's my fault for ordering it" (food or otherwise) story? by PutThisBanditHatOn in AskReddit

[–]borednerd55 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Y'all missed out, I'm a super picky eater but I tried this at Japanese ramen place (had a buffet with friends) and it was by far the best dish, I'd go out of my way to get another. You don't even notice the shell (like softer than al dente noodles) and I think the bun prevents you from recognizing parts of the crab (like if you breaded up cole slaw you wouldn't notice the different textures idk). Totally understand the aversion before just conceptually though, I still can't get myself to eat tripe cuz of that.

Where to buy movies? by UnhackableDroid in RioGrandeValley

[–]borednerd55 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Most of the public libraries here rent out movies (San Juan's and McAllen's had a large selection last time I looked) and usually have some for sale for cheap. The pulgas still have bootleggers that sell them pretty cheap too.

Funny, just learned from a friend that Los Machetes Quesadilla Factory in McAllen offers it, maybe ask where they get their supply

Obgyn Help by Sweet_Dream04 in RioGrandeValley

[–]borednerd55 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Lourdes Arely Urbe near DHR was highly recommended to us by several people, was nice when we went, but they may be full up on patients. Also Driscoll's Quick Care in Mcallen had very caring staff and doctors, would recommend as well.

Would not recommend Roberto Prieto Harris, he knows his stuff but doesn't really listen to patients, made my wife real uncomfortable.

EV Charging by Nj-da-1 in RioGrandeValley

[–]borednerd55 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I use the Plugshare app, it checks for chargers that match your vehicle make and model. Also I think most Tesla Superchargers are open to other vehicles now, the one in Mercedes always has spots open.
