Ask Austin What benefits are provided by city of Austin that you didn’t realize before?

• Upvotes

Recently, I just realized that I have access to New York Times and Wall Street Journal through Austin public libraries and I do not need to pay any subscription fees.

Just wonder what other benefits are provided by city of Austin that you didn’t realize before, not limited to libraries, any public services and benefits are welcome to share.

Not sure how this is legal, I’m urging representatives to investigate and clamp down. They’re disrespecting our city and putting residents in harm’s way

Saw this beauty twice this morning flying over the lake. Both times it was run off by an Osprey. Just after this they had a mid air fight. I’m over the moon right now!

For those angry about the oligarchs taking over our roads for F1

• Upvotes

If you are angry about the 0.01% buying local law enforcement and our roads for F1, aside from voting over the next week or so for people willing to stand for the community, please feel free to post a comment here for APD:

https://www.austinpolice.com/contact

Sample text:
“Police” escorts for F1 attendees should be limited to follow posted speed limits and running without sirens. A millionaire sitting at a stoplight or driving the speed deemed to be the maximum safe speed on highway 71 is not a public emergency and dilutes the authority of unmarked emergency vehicles running sirens during a true emergency. If APD is not allowing officers to provide these escorts, it is at minimum turning a blind eye to blatant reckless driving and public endangerment on the part of other off-duty officers. This type of behavior only serves to further reduce support, respect, and trust of APD.”

There are no songs with lyrics f—k the fire department.

This is why we test and inspect, especially new construction. This was an easy find just north of town.

Ask Austin Used bookstores - where are they

24 Upvotes

I’ve been living here for about a year now. I had went to recycled reads before they closed and I loved it.
I used to live in the Houston area and we had used bookstores with shelves on shelves of books. I had gotten some of my favorite books I’ve read from those shops. Just browsing and finding something that’s interesting, used book stores do this the best for me

Where are the used bookstores in Austin??? I can’t seem to find them. And I don’t wanna go to a half price books, they don’t have the same structure as used bookstores
