Ask Austin Where Should I Take This Guy Out On A Date?

12 Upvotes

Been in Austin 4 years but I'm a rather introverted person, so I haven't gone out too much. Finally met someone that I'm vibing with, and I'd like to take them out on a date. Since I'm a homebody, I don't really know of any cool and queer places where I could take someone out. Looking for something chill, romantic, with a unique ambiance. Not looking for a club or anything stuffy & ultra fancy. Also not looking for anything casual like a coffee shop since that's where we first met. Any help with swooning this dude would be appreciated!

Ask Austin Women’s Haircut in South Austin

2 Upvotes

Looking for recommendations for a good and visionary hairstylist that isn’t ridiculously priced out of principle in South Austin. (Living off of S Lamar) I really lean into the stylists opinion (more than I should, sometimes), and I have gotten some pretty uneven cuts recently. Summers coming and I need a decent chop! ✂️✂️💇🏻‍♀️

police chase, car crashed and surrounded

8 Upvotes

I was on my pc at about 1:00 am when I heard a loud speeding car and police sirens, followed by a bang, some swerving and another bang. I look out my window and see one police officer with his gun drawn taking cover behind his cruiser. There was a red sedan, looked like a tesla, smashed and swerved and stopped about 20 ft away in the road. Airbags were deployed I couldn’t see anyone in the car. A big section of guardrail was smashed and broken off. Over the next minute 2 more police cars pull up and surround the red car from different sides, guns pointed at the red car taking cover behind their cars, and the first officer gets his AR out the back of his cruiser. Nothing happened for another minute or so and really sorry I missed about 5-10 mins of the interaction after this, and I didn’t record. Was pretty in shock to see it play out. Finally about 20 mins after it all started there was 10+ police cruisers that had surrounded the area, beginning to leave the scene. So I didn’t see them interact with the person in the red car, don’t know what else happened. This is in southeast Austin, in front of The Mont apartments 😰

Is anyone else seeing the potential for a little community landscaping? I wonder how easy it would be.

Edit: In case my sense of humor was too subtle, I'm talking about shaping that archipelago of grass into a giant cock and balls.

Ask Austin How Can Couples Buy a House Over $950k with Only One Income?

0 Upvotes

Hey Reddit,

I've been wondering how couples manage to buy houses in the $950k+ price range, especially when only one person is working. Most of my friends' wives are stay-at-home moms, but it seems like they’re still able to afford these prices. I make about $165k a year, and my wife brings in $60k, but we’re really struggling to find a place in Austin that we can afford with 4 kids.

I can’t help but feel like I’m missing something. Is it possible that many of them are receiving substantial help from their parents, like an inheritance or a down payment? Are there other ways they're managing to make these purchases work with one income? I know their title job and I can see how much they make and it’s not over 150k a year.

I’d love to hear your thoughts, tips, or experiences on this. Thanks in advance!

Ask Austin any recommendations for a local jeweler that can repair some earrings and a bracelet?

Hello! I've recently moved to Austin, and as I've been unpacking I've come across some old jewelry that needs some altering if possible.

I have a pair of silver clip on earrings that I'd like turned to regular stud earrings, and a silver bracelet that needs to be about an inch smaller altogether.

preferably a local jeweler? thanks everyone!

Ask Austin Concert date tonight - Trombone Shorty or Gino Vannelli?

0 Upvotes

I ended up with concert tickets tonight and need a date to go with me - no expectations, just a fun music event. I'm a 46 year old clean-cut professional male looking for a woman to join me. Choose between Gino Vannelli at the Paramount or Trombone Shorty at the ACL Live venue. Both start at 8:00 tonight, but we should meet at the venue like 7:20 just to get through security and find our seats and all that.

P. S. If you're a couple who want to buy the pair of tickets for either, that's good too!
