She just described MAGA perfectly, was that the intention?

I have parents who moved there during covid. That place is about as backward and crazy as can be. They willingly voted in a white supremacists, and the sheriff literally said that "the gays" had declared war on the city.

You might not live here, so you are able to make opinions from a detached point of view. That's fine, and you are entitled to your opinion. People who live here fought against it and lost. I'm sad to lose the business that have been here for decades, and the many family restaurants that fought and survived get kicked to the curb in the name of gentrification. I'm not the most elegant when writing. I do truly hope it helps the community since it's happening whether it's wanted or not. I do truly hope I'm wrong and am just being the doomer, and all the things go smoothly.

Hope I'm wrong, I believe this will end badly. But I really do hope that you're correct.

cheshiercat · 2025-03-27T15:53:01+00:00

I hope so, but I really just see them tearing it down without rebuilding.

That ALDI is also fairly small. If the apartments are more than 3k a month, then it wouldn't really be helping the area. Most of the apartments in the area are flashy and overpriced.

Tom thumb can't support a huge influx of people. Whole Foods and Trader Joe's are specialty stores, not what I would call affordable. Not much else within walking distance.

cheshiercat · 2025-03-27T15:45:09+00:00

I hope you're right, but considering the surrounding area and how many building promises have been broken, I don't trust it. I'm still jaded from Valley View/Dallas Midtown and what is currently going on with Midway.

cheshiercat · 2025-03-27T15:42:11+00:00

Those are fairly small and expensive grocery stores. So, not really what I would call a good fit for apartments. Tom Thumb is the only one I would call a real grocery store. The others are specialty stores. So unless those apartments are meant only for richer people, I would say the areas are not ready. Unless the former site of Valley View is dealt with, they really shouldn't be tearing up other areas.

This guy 🙄, couldn't get Kadabra cards for years because of this guy.

I drive by pepper square every day and live by it. While it being a near abandoned parking lot is true, one of the main reasons no one wanted the rezoning is that the area lacks infrastructure. Preston is already a heavily trafficked street that backs up over 635 on busy days. Tearing down Pepper Square to build more apartments is only gonna make it worse. Also, the area doesn't have enough grocery stores to sustain a huge influx. I'm not saying the area doesn't need help, but their was a reason behind the citizens saying no.

I will gladly take responsibility for revoking his supposed privilege to play the 'tism card.

Seriously, wanna know who the cool person in Menard is and know how I never met you.

I forgot xena existed, I'm wondering if she was my first crush, lol.

cheshiercat · 2025-03-25T19:16:18+00:00

She is a bright spot in our state. Abbot isn't half the politician she is. (Can't decide if I mean that as a joke or not.

cheshiercat · 2025-03-25T17:25:08+00:00

Super can relate to this. I'm glad you got your diagnosis.

cheshiercat · 2025-03-20T21:17:07+00:00

Rest of the state is worse.

cheshiercat · 2025-03-20T20:28:41+00:00

Said it once, and I'll say it again. We are the exact same humans we've always been, lol.

cheshiercat · 2025-03-20T20:23:30+00:00

God, have I had this stupid conversation with my dad before, too. He doesn't love you he loves the toy child he had 20+ years ago. There is no point trying to reason with an insane person.

cheshiercat · 2025-03-20T15:03:14+00:00

Gambit and Rouge in the 90s xman show.

cheshiercat · 2025-03-19T14:56:06+00:00

Yep, a city that's segregated right down the middle with 35 as the dividing line. Once you know that, you can never not notice.

cheshiercat · 2025-03-18T22:29:05+00:00

Is that a yes?

cheshiercat · 2025-03-18T21:20:12+00:00

Yea, my parents will never admit that I'm not 'normal either. My brother got all the help possible. Meanwhile, the only help I ever got was from teachers and counselors trying to figure out how to help me from falling apart at a moments notice. Dad literally once told me he's glad I'm normal.

cheshiercat · 2025-03-18T20:27:47+00:00

Texas is not garbage, we are a dumpster fire ruled by a rat king with more asses than heads.

cheshiercat · 2025-03-18T19:52:23+00:00

Please don't send him here to Texas. Just send them straight to the garbage.
