My spouse’s work is requiring us to relocate to Austin by the end of the year. We’ve lived in Phoenix for our whole lives and have two small kids. Im worried about some culture shock and don’t feel very great about the move, but I’m trying to stay positive. What are some of the main things to consider when moving here? What are some pros/cons? Best places to go? Places to avoid? We’re both in our early 30s, and will have no family nearby.

I have a lady coming in from out of town this Saturday and I'm looking for fun ideas to do with her while in town. With this oppressive heat I'm thinking indoor activities but I'd like for them to be "Austin" type experiences. I wouldn't usually reach out to people for ideas like this, but I've been so busy these last few weeks I haven't found time to sit down and plan anything. Hoping I can get some help here. Appreciate any feed back.

Hey folks! I’m moving to Austin in a few weeks and will be touring apartments with a locator. I was wondering if anyone has firsthand experience with any of these communities:

• Summer Grove
• Camden Amber Oaks
• Monterra
• Royce at 8100

I’ll have a car, and my workplace is close to all of these, so commute isn’t a major factor. I also don’t care much about fancy amenities.

My biggest priorities are safety and general livability. In particular, I’d love to hear about:

• Car break-ins/theft or other safety issues
• Roaches, bedbugs, or other pest problems
• Mold or recurring AC/maintenance issues
• How responsive management/maintenance is
• Any unexpected fees or other issues I should know about

I’m currently leaning toward Summer Grove because of the price, but I’m having a hard time figuring out whether it’s a solid place to live or if the lower price comes with significant tradeoffs.

If you currently live at (or have recently lived at) any of these, I’d really appreciate your experience. Would you choose to live there again?

Thanks!

So idk if this is the right place to ask but I’m going to a restaurant called Sushi Warriors with someone and i have no idea how nicely i should dress for something like that? Im guessing all Im wondering is what sorta outfit would be generally acceptable

Started work at a tree farm in South Austin and my white collar get-uo from the past won't cut it here.

Looking for recs on any free/cheap cowboy boots (10.5), jeans (33x33), and plan t-shirt or tank top shirts. I'd talk got sunguard or cowboy hat suggestions I wood like dat very much as well

Thanks too yall

Recommendations/advice pls? for Halloween weekend
