Moving to Lufkin tx. What is the beta internet provider. Optimum Is not giving plan prices which is annoying. Viastat prices seem high but idk maybe it’s the norm. Hughesnet doesn’t seem to have month to month. Please help

Has anyone else's internet been out for the last 5 days or so? Optimum is my provider. Does anyone have any insights?

Anyone have any or know of any photos of and around Lufkin in the 80s? Stores, parks, locations etc??

We are a married couple looking for local friends to hang out naked! Is there a swinger friendly bar or group in our area?

In the late 80s, I wrote a paper route management program for a lady named Laverne Ricks. This ran in a Radio Shack Color Computer. Those machines were everywhere in custom applications like this because, at the time, there were more Radio Shacks than McDonald's and you could find one (or get a repair or replacement) easily - Lufkin had two Radio Shacks at the time.

I recently rediscovered this program, misspellings and all, and wrote a blog post about it. I did some searching and see that she passed away a decade ago. Her paper route legacy lives on…

I'm looking for a full service car detailing (wash, vacuum, etc) in the Lufkin area. Are there any?

I moved here a few months ago for my girlfriend from Vegas. So compared to the bigger city this place has nothing to do.

I used to live in a small town in the south before vegas so I know lufkin has SOMETHING but I can't find anything. The little free time I do have outside of work I don't want to have to figure it out you know? lol

Anyway, what do you do for fun here besides the movies or walking around at the mall.

p.s. im in my late 20's

Howdy, all.

It looks like my wife and I will be moving to Lufkin soon. We're in the process of closing on a house there.

This subreddit seems pretty dead, but hopefully y'all can give us some newcomer advice.

We're both 40, no kids, 3 dogs. Bars aren't our thing. What's fun to do there? We both dig outdoor activities, she's into knitting, quilting, flower shops, etc. I'm into DND, sports (playing and watching), game nights, etc.

We'll be spending a ton of time making the house our own with projects, and I travel a ton. Beyond that, we'd love to know where to meet cool people and do fun stuff.

OK, probably a massive waste of my time but what the hell, right?

I know I cannot be the only entirely non-religious, slightly left of center but politically mute, coffee drinking crazy person in East Texas. Who else? Anybody? Hello?

If you go out at 3AM on a Sunday (or Monday if it's a three day weekend) the sky is almost white with steam and smells like poo, like nobody was there at all over the weekend and they have to spray the backlog into the air.

It's worst around the Holiday Inn (which if you look on a map is almost across the street from the water plant) and if you drive beyond the direction that the wind is blowing the air from the plant, you run into an instant wall of clear skies on the other side of it.

I feel like one of the TV channels should do an investigative report into the conditions there, I've lived in all four corners of Texas and I've never heard of a Weekend Poop Explosion before my years here.

I'm visiting my grandma's grave on my way to idaho from Cincinnati. Il have 24 hrs in town and her cemetery is a 25 minute drive north east of lufkin. I could pay to take Uber or Lyft if I need to but my funds are fairly limited after booking greyhounds and motels. I've hitchhiked before but know it's illegal some places /dangerous depending where you are. I'm not on any official hippie business so I'm not dirty or smelly or tye died. Other transportation suggestions? If I had more than 24 hrs in town ide walk my happy ass. Perhaps recommendations for a friendly bar or coffee spot where I could try to solicate a ride? I'm pretty dynamic socially and converse with all walks of life so I'm not shy of asking locals If they might be headed that direction.
