Throwaway account for obvious reasons - I'm currently looking for recommendations for good divorce/family lawyers in the Austin area.

My situation is a little tricky so I may need someone who is also well-versed in handling complex property ownership (potentially out of state), IRS/back taxes, and other asset considerations.

Any suggestions are appreciated! TYIA

Hello Dog parents of Austin!

Now that yard bar has closed(very sad) where is everyone going now?

I once had Texas DPS officer change a tire for me on the shoulder of IH35 between Round Rock and Georgetown.

I live in East Austin, use T-Mobile wireless for internet, and my local tv channels on Hulu tv are all San Antonio channels. Does anyone know how I might fix this?

hi! my friends and i are wanting to go to austin this weekend for halloween, but we really don’t want to go to 6th street since it was absolute madness last year and the cover fees were awful. i was wondering if domain is a much better experience and a better alternative than 6th street

Anyone have any experience for Section 4 floor seats at moody center? I would row 1 and there is a catwalk for the performer. Thanks!

If I told you we saw a dead polar bear on the road, would you believe us?

We drove from Houston to COTA for F1 this morning. Around 8 a.m., we crossed a stretch where we noticed many dead deer, but at one point we saw a dead polar bear on the right side. My friend and I both saw it. I know it sounds strange, but I swear we saw it.

Could there be any chance this is real, or are we mistaken? I swear it was there.

Sorry if this has already been asked, but does anyone know of any good watch parties on election night?

After the weekend, we're beating Dallas County by 2.9% of registered voter turn out! But that's not enough, let's show them how a real city votes!

Remember, early voting runs through Oct. 30. There are 45 early voting locations available this election, up from 38 in the last midterm. You can go to any one. The polls are open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. every day of early voting, including weekends.

Hey peeps,
I used to take group fitness classes in Dallas and sacramento lifetime they used to be pretty challenging the hot yoga, barbell classes Flo everything. Now that I am in north Austin …. I go to life time and I have silver pass in Wellhub I can go to other gyms as well.

I am looking for something challenging and club kinda feel the lights music that keeps us going….. I found one on instagram(trufusion)that is in South Lamar too far for me. Suggest somethingggg that is in north Austin that I can go to!!!

I keep switching between strength work out classes, hot yoga sculpt or so. I am not motivated by the current classes in life time.

HELPMEEEEEE!!!!!

Does anyone know what happened last night at the Valero on South Lamar near Barton Springs? I drove by around 9:30 and the entire parking lot, spilling over in to the street was 10+ cop cars, EMT & fire trucks, all with lights on. Haven’t seen anyone post about it surprisingly so just curious if anyone knows.

Everyone knows about the southbound exit to Windsor off Mopac but my god whenever I am driving to Mopac from Lamar/West Campus I stay in the right line because that friggin manhole drain cover in the left lane is just like a landmine damn near.

Why did the police not care enough to escort the Mangiasaurus? Because it is broke...

Several comments about the B-1s flying over Austin and I'm sitting here remembering

when B-58 Hustlers flew training missions over Austin, sometimes at supersonic speeds which rattled windows.

I was 9 or 10 and remember running outside to watch

Posting for a friend:

Do you know anyone in the media, local government, City Council, or the legal community who might help me protect a magnificent, 300-year-old heritage live oak on my property from potentially devastating over-pruning by Austin Energy?

A representative of Austin Energy has made what he calls “concessions” to obtain my written permission to come onto my property, but they are vague and I have no reason to trust them. Neighbors tell me they say one thing and do another. He has also threatened “full clearance" on several occasions if I refuse to sign. That’s why I need to better understand what they can or cannot do.

Even a single connection could make all the difference. About 20 years ago, an Austin City Councilmember intervened and the tree was treated carefully and some wires were rerouted. Later taller poles were put in bringing the live wires above the tree. I’m hoping that, with the right contacts or advice, we might find a way to ensure only what is necessary.

I believe this may be the largest, oldest tree in North Austin. Austin Energy's proposed cuts would essentially remove an entire section of its canopy, leaving it with an L-shaped outline and permanently destroying much of its natural beauty and character. A tree that has survived an estimated 300 years deserves better than to have its form so drastically altered if a more limited approach can provide the necessary clearance.

Although my property is just outside Austin city limits, making it ineligible for the City’s heritage tree protections, it extends over the boundary into an Austin Energy easement.

Saw these guys doing God knows what on a very chaotic Sunday in Austin

Hey all, I just moved to Austin and I am still looking for a go to hair stylist.

I am a guy with pretty typical Chinese/East Asian hair, thick and straight, and I am looking for someone who really does Asian hair well. I tried SOHA Salon, but it was not quite what I was hoping for.

Any stylists or salons you would personally recommend for Asian men? Bonus points if you can name a specific stylist. Thanks a ton!

Just bought a 370z, was planning on going to Austin Z Clinic which was mentioned in old posts here but apparently they're closing down now :( . Any Z/G owners have any good alternatives?

Hi all! I just rescued a 4 year old, high energy dog about a month ago and looking for day care options, preferably on south Lamar. She does well with other dogs but can play hard so I want to make sure I take her somewhere that the owners/workers are attentive and can redirect if needed. I am looking between Taurus academy and Southpaws so would love to hear anyone’s experience or other recommendations (or places to avoid). I live off south Lamar and commute downtown to work everyday so somewhere close by or alone the route is preferred!

My fun (and 2nd) car needs some attention not immediately but surely. The valve stem o-rings could be the problem, car burns a little too much oil (1qt per 500 miles or so).

I used to work on my cars like brakes, oil changes and basic maintenance. I took a look at a YouTube video for this and decided I am better off getting it done with a pro.

Looking for a mechanic that you swear by in and around Austin. TIA.

How many of you guys are here? Guys who raise their kids alone with no help?

I raised three children with no moms in the picture, while I was in the military. This was a while back, but I still think about how hard that time in my life was. So that got me wondering if there are other men going through it right now locally. Maybe we could start a weekly group where guys with full custody get together and just breathe for a second. Granted, my kids are now grown and out of the house, but maybe having a guy who's been down that road would help someone.

My little one wants to dress up as Spider-Man in Halloween. We were thinking we could buy some silly string so he can "shoot webs", but would that be fine to do during Halloween? Definitely no spraying at people, but I guess there will be spray in people's lawn n stuff

I was driving home from my mom’s house earlier today and noticed at least five military helicopters flying around the 360 Bridge. Does anyone know what was going on? Did anyone else happen to see them?
