I am a former local turned austinite and looking to move back home to save money. I grew up and went to high school in killeen so it very homey to me but recently i’ve been visiting to get used to being here and something feels off. I left killeen during covid and going back I can tell a lot has changed. I feel like there used to be life into the city and now driving around feels like a barren wasteland. Can someone explain to me what’s going on? Businesses are gone that used to be super popular and now there’s nothing besides car washes and vacant buildings. Also I noticed there are way more real estate agents here now and as far as i’m aware the area isn’t growing at the rate it should be and the industry has been slowing down. The lack of third spaces is also sad I remember there was a late night coffee shop that was insanely cool but because part of the building burned down the owners never fixed it. Killeen has so much potential to be a cool city to be but it feels like local officials aren’t moving it in a different direction.

Note: I understand covid took a toll on everyone especially small towns were affected but we’re about 5 years post covid and I feel like the city hasn’t bounced back.

Looking for a group of individuals to play magic the gathering and/or DND with. I'm not on Facebook so I not looking for a group on there. I am a native here so I do know about game knights and the place in HH, but would really enjoy a dedicated group to play with.

How many people can we get out to wet Willy’s Saturday night 11ish? Let’s make that shit lit

Anyone had experience with installing solar panels to your house and recommend any good companies around that offer good prices and product. My wife and I were talking about getting it done after our bill had an insane $147 charge from oncor.

Are there any bartender jobs with no experience in the area? Preferably night life but open to day time on week days.

I want to start crocheting preemie nicu beanies, but don’t know where to take them besides scheduling donation appointments myself. Can’t find any other groups around here that donates crochet goods. I know project Linus does blankets. TYIA

I'm looking for places to hang business flyers in Harker Heights ONLY. I've already checked all the local parks and hung things at the ones with community boards and I'm looking for other suggestions.

I went out for a few beers last night to 4 different spots. Tipsy Tables and Wet Willy’s were the best vibes in my opinion. I saw a woman throw up at the table in Wet Willy’s lol. She was cute though so I’d imagine about 20 guys bought her shots lol.

Just like many others in the area, I have recently relocated here due to health issues and losing my housing situation in San Antonio. While my health has improved, getting back into the workforce has not improved and i am severely low on funds while I try to get back into my line of work.

I don’t have much to sell beyond my skills, except I do have a lot of bulk ammunition left over from some firearms I sold before I moved here. Most are still in the case, some are loose in ammo cans with silica packets with a empty box thrown in to signify what type of ammo they are ( i know some people are hesitant to buy loose rounds in ziplock baggies from the gun show because reloaders can’t be trusted but I am a very well organized individual and never have purchased repackaged ammo)

Anyone know if Galore or Marksmen or maybe one of the ranges might be willing to buy my lot off of me? Or a pawn shop? I’ve tried online routes but most sites you have to spend a dollar that I don’t even have just to post.

P.S—Im not a complete bum and i apologize if my post is not welcome I’m just in a hard spot. So while I’m here i will mention- If anyone needs their home cleaned me and my wife are available, she has worked custodial at high end hotels in San Antonio and I have handy man experience (Mostly in interior / exterior painting/coatings, drywall repair, appliance installation, and lawn / garden / ) and sales experience as well if anyone knows of any routes for work.

I know a friend whos car was broken into but wasent stolen same thing down the street. Says the seen a white truck around midnight- 1am playing loud music, (PROB TO COVER OVER THE GLASS BREAKING) If anyone knows please PM me. it happened around the jasper rd area

Who is selling cars? I have about 1000, I can even do payment plans right now.

Is 1121 Old FM relatively safe; it’s south of freeway just curious.

I literally don't know what else to do. I don't know where to go. I live in an apartment with my boyfriend and 2 cats. I have a job but it is NOT giving me the hours they promised. I need a minimum of 28 hours per week at $15 per hour and they've been giving me MAYBE 20 max per week. I got this job bc I used to work at a pizza place and while I didn't mind the job itself, the car maintenance was crazy and ofc main issue was that my boss was abusive and it was seriously affecting my mental health. A lot of us quit at once because of him. I had actually been looking for a job since January. In person, online, whatever. Apply, apply, apply is all I did and got NOTHING. This job, which is construction clean up, was only possible bc my grandparents have a friend who owns it. He was willing to help me and actually said he doesn't mind if I look for other jobs or even if I told him I have an interview and can't come in, he figured this is temporary. ESPECIALLY because I know I can't handle heat well and actually have gotten sick from it while just trying to deliver pizzas. I have been looking since January. I have tried switching up my resume to sound better or something but realistically it seems it's not a me issue. Literally every single one of my friends is trying to get a new job and all of them have been stuck as well. My boyfriend's job isn't able to help me either because he's an assistant store manager and unfortunately I'd have to be hired as one as well, but they have too many at the moment so that won't happen. Our apartment lease ends in May. Our savings are dwindling. I'm worried that even if we can pay rent until then, that once my apartment sees I'm earning WAY less than I used to (they ask to see payroll every time we renew), they may not let us stay. My boyfriend is working overtime and we are still struggling. My family, the people I have loved my whole life and would do ANYTHING for, have actually betrayed me and it genuinely took me by surprise. And it's not even for any legitimate reason!! If I was a bad person and made things worse I'd get it but???? "You guys moving in would mess up our schedule" My own mother??? I thought we were on great terms? I visit all the time, I don't understand. I'm so upset and angry. We're facing possible homelessness.

PLEASE. I am BEGGING. If anyone out there can help me out, please let me know. I have experience in retail, pizza delivery, construction clean up and a little bit of data entry. + although it wasn't long, I did at one point volunteer for an animal shelter when I lived in Bastrop years ago and would clean the surgical supplies. However, I am also willing to learn new things if you're willing to teach. If it's something that requires getting a license and you're able to help me with that, great. I don't care. I need a nice stable job. Minimum 28 hours per week.

I know my worth. Unless some sort of emergency happens, which is extremely rare, I am always on time, ready to go. I am honest, I am reliable, and I am known to be efficient. According to my old boss at Dollar General, I was "like a stray cat on the move" and "always on a mission". I respect boundaries and hope for others to do the same. I do not want to be "on call" for a job that shouldn't be and feel like I can't actually relax during my time off. Work-life balance is crucial. I'm of course willing to cover shifts here and there but I can't guarantee I would say yes every time I'm asked as, like any person, I make plans when I assume I'll be free. If you treat me with respect, I treat you with respect. I know I can be a good worker, I just need to have a good boss. If you believe you're one of those, please hit me up. Help a girl out so we don't lose our apartment or my precious babies 🙏

Oh also if it matters, my hair is partially dyed and I've got a tattoo sleeve. I don't believe someone should be judged on looks instead of work ethic but I mean...what can ya do?

Thinking of renting out a place I saw a good rent rate it’s on north 2nd street is that street safe. I hear stay away from rancier ave and some areas of Killeen r sketchy

Are there any 3 bedroom homes available for rent for under $1300 in Killeen or temple?

I swear they're popping up everywhere. Who seriously wants that many? They could bring in actual stores or anything else.

Any suggestions on where to go on a Saturday night to meet some ladies?

Looking for another job. Honestly about to leave the one I'm at. I'm experienced in retail and smoke shop retail. If anyone can point me in the right direction, I'd greatly appreciate it.

Hi guys I’m recently moved to the US and would like y’all’s opinion….. I wanna open a bank account and start building my credit Which banks would u recommend and why

Does anyone volunteer at the local animal shelters ? Or know of any other volunteering services available? I have 4 days off of work every week and would love to get into volunteering around here.

I’m going to be in the area for a week in February. Any good places for steak or seafood in town or will I have to travel to Austin? Any suggestions would be great! Thanks.

How is the takeover and car scene here

Back in ohio we had these things called diy houses that would play mostly like Indie/Midwestern emo rock every night. They would have small bands touring stop in and play in the basement of their houses. I know houses here don't have basements for the most part so is there anything similar going on in the area- heard of bands playing at bars etc but I'm 19 so I can't get in a lot of places like that.

Hello I plan on moving out that way the first of February and I was looking at an apartment . The owner is a Tarkor LLC, do anything about this rental company? Thank you edited
