And I'll be the first to say Pville is a giant shithole compared to what it used to be. But don't you dare denegrate Baris or Mama Jacks!

May 27May 27 I used to work for Pflugerville ISD. Baris slams and goes hard. Ate there before every board meeting.

Maybe that doesn't affect many of you, but there are hundreds of people who go every night. I drop in a couple of times a summer. 😡 https://www.kvue.com/article/news/local/barton-springs-pool-new-hours/269-bf9bca05-7a25-4d47-b0a5-e00617fe5fab For a hot second, Barton Springs was set to close an hour earlier. It won't. The City of Austin will not reduce hours at Barton Springs Pool despite a sign posted this weekend teasing the earlier closure. City Manager T.C Broadnax had directed all departments to identify 1.5% in cost-saving measures. The Parks and Recreation Department proposed closing the pool an hour earlier starting Sunday. But Jessica King, chief communications officer with the city, said Broadnax had not approved the change or decided if it would save enough money to justify the earlier closure. "Since the summer season is upon us and we prefer to provide residents with advanced notice on such changes, the City will not be implementing changes to pool hours at this time," King said. "However, as we prepare for next year’s budget, we must also prepare for tougher conversations across all department services." Swimming is free at the pool from 9-10 p.m., and that last hour tends to be calmer, said Jennifer Hill, whose son is sensitive to bright lights and noise. The pair has been going for a night swim at least four times a week for the past decade — even in winter. It’s less crowded, there's more parking and it's generally more peaceful, Hill said. https://www.kut.org/austin/2025-05-27/barton-springs-pool-austin-tx-free-night-swim-closure
May 28May 28 I’m sure the homeless could spare a few million from their slush fund to keep the pool open without reducing hours.
May 28May 28 The irony about a budget shortcoming, all while this shit is coming up to a vote again... 5 more artists getting funding for ABIA art installations, and 3 are from out of state, one from Laredo, one from Houston. Not a damned one from Austin.
May 28May 28 Author After some city dipshits paid some other "artist" dipshit to put those dispshit fish bone "art" stuctures under I35 over by 6th, the last thing I'm going to question is where is the artist from? I'm more worried wtf the "art" will be. Edited May 28May 28 by crash_davis

May 28May 28 Hear me out on this: why not do a contest for local schools to create artwork for the new airport, maybe even expand to local artists. Make a pool of money for the winners, even. But keep it LOCAL. I bet you could get a shit ton of stuff done for a fraction of the cost. Hell, hand out spray paint cans and give schools a wall to go to town on, even.

Did he get his money? “While I realize that no artwork lasts indefinitely, the original hope was that Moments would be maintained and kept in good repair for many years,” Trominski wrote in a letter to the city this year in support of removing the installation due to its deteriorating condition. “This and general site conditions have created an ongoing less-than-ideal situation for the original concept.” The artist has asked that no part of the piece be reused, except for recycling. He also asked to witness any demolition and that he get to keep one of the blue panels. “He would prefer that it not be up if it’s not going to sort of be what it was intended in the beginning,” said Wick, the collection manager for Moments.
May 28May 28 Author I saw a homeless dude take a shit in his hand and throw it over the bridge onto the cars passing underneath. I guess he should've convinced the city it was performance art and charged us $10,000 for the movement. It'd been no different to than the bullshit Moments "art".

This shit is infuriating. We need a D___ cleansing and fire 80% of these grifters/cancel all contracts. (No CR) Whoever blue lit the fucking squares should be the first fired. 45 fucking thousand. They have ZERO fiduciary duty to the tax payers.
May 29May 29 Just a reminder when you bash COA for not solving our homeless crises, that the State of Texas ships them here. They release them from state hospitals. Surrounding counties also bus them here (or ex-cons and aged out foster kids). https://www.threads.com/@ginahinojosaatx/post/DKLXxRGNqB7?xmt=AQF0qGnJgYI3wvCz5X6C8C0TXi5Qj0OauWztx8dk9Cfc0AWhen you point fingers, point them to state and federal authorities for decimating our safety net infrastructure on regional and state problems. The city is left with choosing from the best bad solutions to mitigate longterm homelessness.
