r/RoundRock

I drove past Blue Corn Harvest and it got me thinking about all the places I’ve never been but have always thought about trying. So I’ve come to Reddit to ask folks to drop their “okay but hear me out…you should check out XYZ because…” takes about different businesses in Round Rock.

Other honorable mentions for me:

Cotton Patch Cafe

Tio Dan Cafe Puffy Tacos n Fish

Hometown Gift and Decor

I stepped out yesterday evening for 30sec and caught 2 massive mosquitoes gnawing at my arms. Luckily, I was wearing long pants. Maybe it’s the season but maybe it’s also after all that Austin rain. They’re back with a vengeance!

I have seen many videos of people using traps, machines, items to hang, dunks, plants, etc. but curious what has helped Austin folks?

I have a small backyard and last summer, I was annihilated every time I went out. No pools, no areas of water, so not sure why they’re so many of them.

Hello, I am considering moving to the area for a job. What is it like commuting to downtown Austin every day? Thanks

Hi all—my family is considering a move to Round Rock and I’d really appreciate hearing from people who actually live there day-to-day. I’d love the good, the bad, and the “wish I knew this before moving” kind of insights.

If you’re open to sharing, I’d especially appreciate perspectives from parents, but any input is helpful!

Saw a lady outside the Baca center downtown lying to folks about billboards.

ETA: *Fire Association, damn it.

Powers been out about an hour in my neighborhood (Chisholm valley). Any one know why?

A similar outage happened just last week when a truck hit a transformer… wondering if this outage is caused by the same incident, some outstanding equipment issue that wasn’t fully fixed.

I’ve been here almost 5 years and the power hasn’t gone out ONCE but it happens twice in one week… suspicious

I'm 17, 230lbs at 6'0 I drink cola heavily everyday and don't get too much exercise.

I'm CompTIA A+ & Tech+ Certified, and I have a Dell PowerEdge Certification. I'd like to lose weight before I look for a job but it seems like I need to wait until I'm 18.

I was 180 last year and already planned to lose weight. Now I'm the edge of 230 and it's harder than expected.

I've lost weight 20lbs before but I'm really struggling mentally this time

I've gotten many stretch marks and most of it went to my thighs. I was not born obese and have really skinny hands and arms. I feel the same as I did at 180 but notice slow downs.

I can't put down the cola withoit going crazy or feeling depressed. Any good medicines or programs to try? It sucks and really hurts mentally.
