Not to be a Karen

But I really hate when customers go to Stripes, park in a gas station pump, then go into the store for tacos and just have the car sitting at the pump while there are 15+ in line to order a taco. With no intention to even pump gas. So now people who want to come in to actually have to pump gas are circling around waiting for people to leave. Sorry not sorry just had to vent somewhere.

Are Valley drivers, "The Worst"? Or are there worse out there?

In the older days, while the Valley had it's share of awful drivers, it certainly was never this bad.
Do you guys think that Valley drivers are the worst type of driver? Or, for those who been around in other places, are there worse??

I know there's a lot of drivers in the Valley from Mexico who drive like crap but i believe most of the law breakers, speeders are the Valley drivers from all my years.

Northern lights?

I don't keep up with the news that much but saw somewhere that northern lights would be visible in the U.S. I know they saw them up in Maine. Does anyone know if we will be seeing them down here?

Fireflies 💫

Anyone seen more fireflies than usual in the past couple of days? 💚

San Benito vs Los Fresnos

If you had to choose either city to move to, which would you choose and why? Trying to weigh out some pros and cons here (neighborhoods, local stores/resources, amenities or parks, etc.)

Eta: no children currently but knowing about schools for the future is also helpful!

Increase police presence

Anybody know why there’s an increased police presence in Edinburgh area today.

Old Towels, Newspapers, and other shelter donations...

I was speaking with the RGV Humane Society and something that they always need that I wasn't aware of was newspapers and old towels/blankets. There's the obvious donations like food, litter, and treats you can bring. But I thought if anyone had some old blankets you might normally throw out or old newspapers feel free to drop them by the shelters. Goes for all of the locations in the valley!

If anyone has any good ideal for where to buy a lot of blankets and towels cheap I also wanted to ping that as well.

Recently moved into a new construction home and I’m trying to setup a camera system centered around Apple HomeKit. Is there anyone who does that sort of thing around here?

SPI recommendations?South Padre Island

Looking for a cheap car for sale in the RGV.

I really need a cheap car to buy here in the valley. Car got repo’d back in December. Been struggling since I moved here. I’m not making the $$ I use to. I only came here for my daughter’s well being.But I’m out here in Elsa and have been having to walk for over 5 months and between the heat, creepy men trying to pick me up and feral dogs about attacking me I can’t do this walking ish anymore! Anyone selling a cheap car? Please 🙏🏽

Everyone stay home with your A/C on and if you are not able to stay home make sure you're drinking tons of water!

Mariachi for Mother’s Day Weslaco

Does any one know of any mariachi bands for Mother’s Day today?

Is this a breaking bad momentMcAllen

Did someone watch breaking and and decide to pull a walter white? Why the fuck are there so many car washes but they don't even turn the water on for the sprinklers in the parks? I swear to god there's at least 20 different car washes back to back on N 10th and that new one just opened on Nolana.

Bring your pets inside or provide a REALLY GOOD way for them to cool off!!!

It’s hot as hell and only going to get hotter as summer approaches. I work at a vets office and heat stroke is no joke for your fur babies. Please be a decent human being and keep those who can’t fend for themselves safe and cool. If you can’t bring them inside please consider getting them groomed with a deshedding treatment or haircut and provide them with plenty shade and water sources.
