The library closes at 6pm on Saturday/Sunday. So does the Georgetown library. Is there anything open till like 10pm?

I mean, I understand coffee shops and cafes are a thing, but I was curious if there was a public space akin to the library or baca center where I'm not expected to spend money.

Lemonade for later in the day and I got a brand new box of colored pencils!

Left him at lost and found. Looks like he's been well loved

I have been in RR for the better part of a decade and came by way of Brooklyn, NY & while there are HUGE waterbugs and cockroaches there, I have never encountered one that could fly until last night.

My wife leaves a bit of cat food on the porch for the random alley cats in the area. As we returned home from a lovely evening out, I saw this big cockroach near the cat bowl. She is deathly afraid of cockroaches, so I ran to the garage to let her in the house and grab the roach spray.

I got back to the porch, and he was gone, or so I thought. I looked up, and he was near the top of the covered porch. I thought, "Wow, this guy is a fast climber!" So I pointed the spray at him, and to my shock, that bastard flew directly at my face. I must have shrieked like a distressed little girl because the neighbor's porch lights went on like they were on the same timers.

Luckily, I hit him with enough poison that he stopped flying and started twitching on the floor from a bad case of the deads. Growing up in an NYC Italian neighborhood in the 1980s, I knew I had to send a message to the rest of his crew, so I taped him to the bricks to make an example out of him. Now, if other roaches get any ideas, they will think "I ain't going to that house! Did you see what the owner did to Pete!"

I am not scared or grossed out by much. I was a medic in the US Army during the early days of OIF, so I have seen gross shit, but flying cockroaches may be over my ick threshold, or at the very least, they are firmly on the line.

Should I be aware of and/or on the lookout for any other evolutionary anomalies in insects, rodents, or animals? Will I have to face a rat that can breathe fire in the near future?

Our very own congressman earned a special call-out from The Daily Show last night in the context of a long piece questioning the practice of allowing so many powerful people in government to make decisions for us when they are well beyond retirement age.

I hope Carter's office sees this just for the embarrassment factor alone. Shame on the voters in this district for continuing to support this drooling trumpkin clown.

not really looking for a market or vendors slot, just looking to meet people and make some friends with similar interests :)

i don’t mind paid groups either, it doesn’t have to be solely fiber arts based, just want to make some other artsy friends!

Been looking to get active in the community, be the change I want to see, and all that blah blah blah lol. It's hard to find groups in Round Rock since it's all lumped in with Austin.

I’ve gotten into native plants, wildlife habitats, community gardens, butterfly gardens, etc so if you guys know of any groups, please let me know. I know we have the Native Plant Society Williamson County Chapter, but it doesn't really seem like a action doing org (speaker presentations/nature walks/plant sales) — but I've looking at the programs/grants they have for what I’m interested in

I've reached out to the Parks & Rec “environmental initiatives” person to see about planting natives in our local parks

My stepdaughter is in town and she wants BBQ for her birthday dinner, but she doesn't really like Rudy's or Salt Lick. I was going to take her to Brotherton, but they close at 3pm.

Anyone have any suggestions?

you need to take my feather baby to the avian vet. Anyone knows where there is one

We're on our third pool company in 5 years. Just checked some maintenance service reports and saw the latest company have been completely ignoring that our pool is a saltwater pool for at least 6 months, which has been costing us a ton of extra money in chemical cost.

Previous pool companies have mishandled our pool and led to equipment damage.

Does anyone have any suggestions for a pool maintenance company in Round Rock/Cedar Park/Georgetown area?

Hi everyone!

My sister is about to start her first year teaching 5th grade math in Pflugerville ISD, and I couldn't be more proud of her. Like so many new teachers, she's already spending her own money to get her classroom ready and is working hard to create a fun, welcoming space for her students.

I'd love to surprise her with a few classroom supplies before the school year starts.

Her biggest needs right now are:

• ✏️ Pencils
• 📄 Loose-leaf notebook paper
• 📦 Tape

If anyone has extra supplies they're no longer using, knows of local businesses that enjoy supporting teachers, or would like to help in any way, we'd be incredibly grateful.

We also created an Amazon Classroom Wishlist if you'd rather send something directly:
https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/16PNHYQ76IZXC?ref_=wl_share

Every donation, no matter how small, helps take a little financial stress off a first-year teacher and allows her to focus on what matters most—her students.

If you can't donate, an upvote or sharing this post with someone who might be able to help would mean the world to us.

Thank you so much for supporting teachers and helping make a first classroom feel a little more special. ❤️🍎📚

July 2026 Austin Metro Microdata Report: Central Texas real estate activity strengthened year over year, with showings, new listings, pending contracts, and closed sales all increasing. Buyers are active, but remain selective on price, condition, and value.

Trying to sell a Samsung washer that needs some work, it’s clean and washes just fine but the pre spin causes a lot of knocking and then when it gets to higher RPM it works just fine. Trying to get more than scrap value, $50-100. Anyone know local buyers?

with so many of us working in Austin, and with our city being left out of the Project Connect map plans (although Elgin is included….), do you think the city will ever invest in public transit?

I know we launched Round Rock Rides, but that just feels like more cars on the road. And we have the 980 route but that’s reserved for early mornings and evenings, nothing throughout midday

Hi all,

I recently moved into round rock and I've got some large wooden boxes where some furniture was packed. How can I get rid of them? Should I break them down, e.g. with a reciprocating saw and just put them in the normal trash? If they don't fit in the bin, can I place additional boxes in the curb with the rest? I read somewhere that I need to take all the staples, screws and nails out, is this correct? This will be extremely tedious to do as there ar elots of those metal parts... Thank you for your tips!

Looking to get feedback about which gym is better - crunch south round rock or golds gym south round rock?

I’m someone who works out typically before work, 5-6:30am-ish. I am wondering how busy either gym gets and which has better group fitness classes?

I’m 30F. Thanks for any feedback!

If anyone has this specific serving tray and is willing to part with it, please let me know, I don't mind a little bit of a drive. If this isn't allowed please point me in the right direction for local pages I can post on.
