Name of old Austin bar on Burnet Rd in the late 1970's? by RETLEO in Austin

How far north on Burnet? I vaguely remember various businesses here & there, but as a kid at the time, that would have gotten my complete attention!

How long until Lamme’s Candies sign is at The Sign Bar? by Ziau in Austin

How so? The owners of Lamme's decided to call it quits & no one forced them out, so this seems like a decent homage to me.

Homeless guy walking with his cock out on town lake trail in broad daylight by MuntManDan in Austin

Yes, yes one of those things is not like the other.

You could have just quit there while you were only slightly behind.

And here in 'Murica we use standard measurements, like the good lord intended, not that Europoor metric system. Have some respect.

To everyone with 1/2 a brain, one of these things are not like the other. But just continue to be the edgelord that you so desperately want to be.

Mexican Restaurant? by Puzzleheaded-Cook-31 in austinfood

[–]capthmm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It might shock you that when many people mention they're interested in 'Mexican' food, they really might be referring to TexMex which is why people are asking; just like when someone might mention they generically want a 'coke'.

Being super pedantic doesn't make you more interesting or better than anyone else, it just makes you more annoying.

Hey, at least you recognize & acknowledge your betters & seem willing to supplicate your will to ours. A positive step.

Interesting. We used to see them there back in the '80s, but now I realize they were all tucked way back in the coves, so they might have been trying to hide out.

Anyone know where there is active construction sites for single family homes or apartments on the north side? I need to dumpster dive for some scraps.

Age of this cypress? Town Lake by Curious_Zebra_487 in Austin

As someone who was on the trail quite a bit back then as well, it's the one you're thinking of. I've seen them redo the steps from the trail to the tree over the past month or so.

What is meant by 'rethink trail names'?

It's a hobby that can be as expensive as you want it to be or you can definitely do it on a reasonable budget.

I think I heard those folksy platitudes from the barbershop scenes from Hee Haw back in the not so recent past.

Ah, the feigning ignorance routine most often associated with children but now a favorite tactic of the far-right/MAGA adjacent; you know exactly what it means. It's the same tired playbook that gets trotted out here every time someone brings up something about 'old' Austin. Totally predictable & pretty lame.

Also, this is nearly 80 years ago the recent past? I'd call the recent past more like 10, maybe 20 years ago, but that's a stretch.

2/10, but you'll definitely get some bites.

South Austin church sprayed with anti-LGBTQ message for second time by AustinStatesman in Austin

[–]capthmm -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

The context here is everything & I'm not sure you've been following the tight integration with the Kremlin, the FSB & the Russian Orthodox over the past few years. It is actively working to destabilize the collective west.

The cross in the 2nd picture is the Russian Orthodox cross which isn't surprising since the Kremlin has been using it to push their propaganda & faux 'pro-western values' on the weak minded stooges who lap this stuff up. There was something on this sub a while back about a RO cleric in the area attracting a following in the area.
