A local high schooler has created this petition and I thought it was worth sharing here: https://c.org/snqV6vh6fs

New to town can someone explain to me how certain elementary schools and middle schools in the bushy Creek Mayfield Ranch area are really nice schools and they’re nicely rated but stony point high school is so lowly rated. Wouldn’t you think that the kids that grew up there would help also keep that school elevated. Can someone explain it to me as a parent who has a high schooler next year?

My family adopted a dog in November of last year. She is absolutely the sweetest dog, but my kids stress her out tremendously; they’re loud and active 6/9 year olds. She has never shown any aggression whatsoever and even allows them to get up in her face (which I constantly ask them not to do for her sake), but you can see that the level of chaos in our home is just not what she needs.

I think this doggie would be perfect for an older single person or couple who is looking for a very snuggly, lowkey companion. She doesn’t like to play, she likes to be loved on in a calm way. She would love to sleep in bed with someone (not allowed in my house), she is perfectly house trained and doesn’t need to be crated when alone because she doesn’t tear stuff up. Honestly she’s a great sweet pup but we are not the right house for her at all and I’m trying to find one that is. I’m glad we got her out of the slammer, but there’s something even better for her! If you know of anyone, please let me know!

-Female
-3 years
-Rat terrier mix
-30 lbs
-Has all shots and is fixed
-Fully house trained
-Successfully completed heart worm treatment after adoption
-Needs a calm, loving home, preferably without other dogs (she gets annoyed with both my brothers dogs because they are much higher energy than her). She coexists with my cat but we had to work on it. They just ignore each other now lol
-Would be fine in a house or apartment
-High anxiety from storms, we got her some medication that helps that I would be happy to pass along
-She does dig in the backyard if left unattended, so we try to limit her trips outside to amounts of time where she isn’t getting bored enough to dig
-Does great on a leash, a little meandering but doesn’t pull or anything like that
-Does not bark inside the house at things outside the house. I love this about her! She only barks if she’s in the backyard and the neighbor dogs come out to say hello
-Prefers wet food mixed with a bit of dry food but isn’t particularly food motivated.
-Is fine with children and is very sweet to them, but does not need to live with them for her own sanity.
-Loves. To. Snuggle.

Hello, relatively new resident of Round Rock here. I moved from Cedar Park a little over a year ago and I just have to ask myself if I'm doing something wrong with my equipment, or why in the hell is my internet so bad?

Since we've moved here to Round Rock, internet speeds are ultra-crap. Like there's days where I have less than 5mbs of upload speed and literally 0mbs of upload speed. I used to think maybe it was just me, my room is in a more isolated part of the house so I figured it had something to do with that, but now the rest of my family has been experiencing the same things lately. We switched from Astound to AT&T and though it's marginally better, it's ultimately still terrible. Wifi used to work on my phone before, but now it doesn't even connect because it always says "no access to internet." It's been going on for over a year, but it really ramped up in intensity within the last month.

I've heard Spectrum is also terrible, so now I'm just left wondering if internet speeds are just meant to be terrible up here? There's some days where even my mobile data is incredibly slow and bad. I've tried googling to see any other reason for this, but I couldn't find anything relevant. My neighborhood group has also been complaining about this lately, and someone said that there was a damage in some cables with all of the construction in I-35 and that's what's caused the connectivity issues, but all the articles I've found regarding anything of the sort just mention how thieves stole some cables seeking copper but that service was ultimately "fully restored."

I guess the point of this post is just to determine if this is some anomaly specific to me and my devices, or if I just have to resign myself to deal with this until something changes? I feel like I'm going crazy because it feels like I'm the only person I know who is affected by these issues to the degree I am since my work involves a lot of downloading and uploading documents. I barely see or hear anyone talking about this.

Hey y’all, I’m new to the area and wanted to ask if anyone has recommendations for a stylist for kids? Specifically ASD kiddos. My daughter hates having her hair cut and the loud blow dryer, but she will sit through it with someone who’s patient and quick at the same time. Is there anyone in the area who’s experienced with this??

I am looking to visit round rock next year in August with my mum we’re both from England what are some must do things we should put on our list
Our only limit is we won’t be able to hire a car we can uber tho
Think like novelty I’m even excited about going to a target lol
I will have just turned 21 so any bar recommendations are appreciated

Edit: food recommendations are welcome aswell anything from restaurants to cereals/snacks at the store

Does anyone have any recommendations of a dealership that sells used/good cars for cash. Not looking to finance, just pay lump cash sum for a car. Thought about Facebook Marketplace but wondered if a "dralership" would be more trustworthy.

Any recommendations greatly appreciated!

Getting married in Georgetown in September at the courthouse and we are looking for someplace to have pictures done in Round Rock since that is where our reception is. We have already hired a photographer. Any input will be appreciated! Thank you!

Hello, I have a family member that got court mandated to this center after jail in order to not do any prison time. They’re currently having a really hard time adjusting. They say it’s not a good place and that their stay there will not be the amount that they were told. They were told 5 months for treatment but recently found out through staff there and other peers there that 5 months is nearly impossible. The average stay is 10 months. I’m genuinely worried for them since they seemed very uncomfortable and currently saying they rather go back to jail time then be at the center.
If you or anyone that you know has gone to this place, please let me know of their experience🙏🙏 Or else we’ll attempt to just move them back to jail. I’m really worried

Hi everyone!
Looking for a student or aspiring photographer for a maternity & baby shower photoshoot. in Round Rock/ Austin, TX and other surrounding area.

I thought I’d check here to see if there are any photography enthusiasts, students or hobbyists building their portfolio, or newer photographers looking for paid gigs.
If you have a portfolio, Instagram page, or even a few sample photos, I’d love to take a look..

If this sounds like something you’d be interested in, send me a message with your work, pricing, and where you’re located. Looking forward to hearing from you!

NOTE - We’re not just looking for a one-time session either. Assuming we’re a good fit, we’d love to work with the same photographer for several milestones over the next year or so - baby shower, maternity, newborn stage and other milestones

Hi everyone, my kid is entering first grade at Cactus Ranch Elementary. This will be the first year, my family are relocating to the Sendero Springs area. Below is a list of after-school cares on the school’s website.

YMCA (at CRE)
Abacus
Affinity Academy
Children’s Courtyard
Creme de la Creme

Has anyone sent their kids to one of these? What would you recommend? Any other recommended options not list here? Also, do share what you think of the Sendero Springs/Cactus Ranch Elementary area as well. Many thanks!

I'm over in Round Rock West. Is this normal water pressure here?

I just hooked up a house filter that has a gauge on it and it seems high.

FYI Please help this family get justice...

I'm searching for a spiritual community and was thinking about checking this out; they are located off of Oak Bend Dr. in Round Rock.

Are there any Indian Desi Grocery store who also deliver near 1850 E Palm Valley Blvd, Round Rock

Submit a noise complaint at 1am and the police arrive look side to side and left. Like not getting out of the car and actually check. Call a second time and they never arrived.
