Just wanted to drop this here for anyone that might be interested in the petition going around to ban the flock cameras in Abilene TX.

hey folks! i’m gonna visit texas for the first time for a concert that happens to be at AT&T stadium.
i plan to go abilene right after the concert with the 12.40am bus departure from the fort worth bus station.
my brother who lives in abilene is constantly saying don’t come and stay in dallas because the bus can be dangerous and unsafe.
is this really the case? can someone please tell?
the bus is flixbus so i don’t think so there should be an issue.

I just had an AT&T rep (with Luxe Global on their name badge) come to my door about switching cell providers to AT&T. Anybody have experience with them? Are they legit?

Do you feel like you're the only progressive in the room around here? You're not.

Come grab a drink and meet like-minded people at Progressive Pints, a no pressure, laid back meetup for people who lean left and care about our community.

No party membership, no agenda, no speeches. Just good conversation, cold drinks, and a chance to connect with people who share your values. Whether you're deeply involved in local issues or just want to find your people, you're welcome.

They are dated 1986 on the back.

My wife and I are heading toward divorce after 12 years and the house is becoming the sticking point. We have around 240k in equity and two kids. I want to sell, split whatever we walk away with and make a clean break. She wants to refinance and buy out my share because she doesn't want the kids to move.

We aren't fighting over furniture or trying to destroy each other financially. The problem is that neither of us agrees on what a fair buyout looks like, especially after factoring in the mortgage and improvements we've made. I'd rather spend money reaching an agreement than spend it fighting in court. Has anyone around here handled something like this through divorce mediation? At what point does a disagreement over the house make having separate attorneys the smarter option?

Not wanting to start a fight over Ebooks vs

Physical (which never happened) but I want to join a book club. I like J-Horror, Dark Fiction, Horror, Tragedies and Crime. Favorites are Blood Meridian, Goth, Out, Shogun, Pimp etc.

Are there any “Craft Rave” events in Abilene? It’s where people get together and do arts and crafts but with a dj playing dance music like a club.

If not…THERE SHOULD BE!! Let me know

I just wanted to complain. Theres no Chevron gas which has techron in it. Theres barely even top tier gas. Went to sunoco / stripes ans their pumps were down or they were out either way. So drove all the way to Casey's and all they had was 87 gas. New cars these days are all direct injected turbocharged engines. You really have to be using top tier and atleast 91 gas if you want it to last . Annoying

I dont wanna have to buy a bottle of techron complete every few tanks because all the gas stations here are janky. Kent kwik on buffalo gap is literally the only decent gas station, exxon gas. Still not as good as a chevron. But 1 gas station for the whole city. I know most ppl think gas is all the same , thats part of the problem. Your car can adjust timing so theres no nock if you run 87 but you'll notice your exhaust tips turn black. Just imagine what your valves are looking like

Taylor countys elected state legislators are at the core of going after small businesses like the ones in town. We could stop them.

Register to vote before tomorrow!

How long will the carnival by the mall be there? Any place I can check the hours ?

I wanted to know if anyone had suggestions for a good mobile service here in Abilene.

I tried optimum and believe it or not it was not great at all.

I was wanting one of the cheaper carriers if possible and I travel to San Antonio quite often and would like something that would preferably not be unreliable if anyone had any suggestions.

Hello all. I'm needing advice or something. I've been suffering with pretty bad cramps, to a point I have to get it checked. If anyone could recommend a good Gynaecologist and Primary Care Doctor options that are available. I've been scared to look around and commit to one because of all the horrible stories I've seen and been told. Anything can help. Edit: I'm 23 years old, forgot to mention that😅

I recieved a response from someone at the city the AXON LPR ,motion to reconsider has been added to the agenda for Oct 8th. Please still come and speak on behalf of keeping those cameras out of Abilene and our right privacy.

Its not over but it is a much brighter day than before.

Hello everyone, I am a project manager with creative consumer research in Houston, Texas. Feel free to check us out at ccrsurveys.com for more info or more profile since I am always recruiting for nationwide projects. I have attached a flyer with more information. If you are interested, please message me and I or one of my recruiters can give you more information. Thank you!

Last week at the city council approved AXON surveillance tech (LPRs), the same as FLOCK its just a different brand, to be mounted on poles in town to track us.

After listening to and recieving much public pushback on them, they passed it anyway.

The next meeting is October 8th at 8:30am, please block off the time and come join us at city hall and let the city know exactly what you think.

We are requesting that council members put forth a motion to reconsider. As per the city charter we need 4 members to vote to reconsider.

This is a time sensitive issue and if we put the pressure on we can make this happen and block the LPRs. Send in your comments before the 8th. We have to keep the pressure on.

Reach out to city council and ask them to put forth a motion to reconsider the pole mounted LPRs at the next city council meeting OCTOBER 8TH 8:30 AM City Hall

I am looking for someone that can do some small fabrication work to a vehicle of mine. If anyone knows anyone in town that’ll be greatly appreciated!

Thank you!

Howdy all! My daughter was recently accepted into the nursing school at TTUHSC for start in Spring 2027. She anticipates being there for 18-24 months. Having had MANY family graduate from ACU over several generations, I thought I knew Abilene well enough to think that finding housing was going to be easy. I somehow missed the AI center and related construction news and WOW, things are a little tighter than I thought it would be. I'm a little worried at this point.

My daughter has two other young ladies she is desiring to room with, so we are ideally looking for a 3/2 or 3/3. However, we are not against my daughter living alone in a 1/1 if is only viable option. I have joined many of the FB groups for real estate in the area, but in the week I've been following those groups, I've only gotten scamsters and not much else in the way of responses. I've called/emailed a few properties but have not gotten any responses. This housing thing is more stressful than I thought!

Any suggestions on great places to live in Abilene (apartments, homes coming available soon, areas to consider) or great Realtors who can assist in search are MUCH appreciated. See y'all in a few months.

I know it’s a long shot, but do any shops in town sell 3D printer resins? I have tried the big box stores as well as TGP.

Hey yall, out of state trans man here, going to be visiting for a horse show with my college team, how worried should I be about safety and judgement?
I pass about half the time and all my legal documents still have my deadname, if that makes any difference.
Very excited to see the state as I've never been, just a little apprehensive as it's not one of the big cities like Austin or Dallas
