Jumex Hard Nectar

Has anybody had any luck finding them in Laredo? I’ve been seeing them pop out at some local liquor stores out of town but not here.

Any good country bars?

I’m not originally from Laredo, but I am from Texas. I grew up with cowboys and always miss the honky tonk bars from home. Does anyone know of any good recommendations?

Opinions on types of phones and carriers

I’m in between in getting a new iPhone or going Android. I use to have Android and really liked it. I was handed down an iPhone after my Android broke. I’ve been with Apple for a good 4 years since. What’s yalls opinion between IPhone and Android? And what carrier do y’all recommend? Currently with Metro and so far, no complaints.

Desperate!!

So the house I live next to has been abandoned and untouched for about 6 or 7 years. The owner is an older gentleman who used to live in the house with his nephews but they’re long gone and last I heard the man was living in a retirement facility in San Antonio. Well, recently in the last two months there have been people at this house “renovating” and emptying the inside. My family and are we’re assuming they were family cleaning up the house to get ready to be sold or something along those lines. Come to find out the neighbors across the street called the police on these people and they have t been back in weeks, apparently they were squatters trying to move in. Well all the junk and trash that was inside the house is now just sitting in the front yard, piling up and the grass has now become overgrown. We have called to complain to the city MULTIPLE TIMES and all they can say is we can take your name down and the city will “get back to us” and coming and putting those notice papers that are bright pink, green and orange stating that it’s a no dumping zone and all that other bullshit. My question is who else can my family and I call to help us and come pick up the trash that’s just sitting in the front lawn gathering tacuaches and other animals. And don’t even get me started on the backyard, I don’t even want to think about the amount of animals living there. I’m mostly just afraid for my believe and nephew that we babysit everyday and the airborne toxins those squatters released into the air after kicking out the windows

To catch a predator

I've been watching too many videos online on people doing what Chris Hansen use to do back then, and I just thought it'd be really nice to see something like that in Laredo

Also, what are areas should I look in or avoid for the most part lol thanks.

Thoughts on Laredo Horizon Development Corp?

For those of you who have or are currently renting from LHDC, what are your thoughts on them as landlords? I've been tempted to rent from them, but because online apartment listings in the city seem to range from scattered to nonexistent, reviews on their properties seem to be hard to find - beyond the obligatory angry one stars on Google of course.

Will you run for office?

I want you to consider it. Why? Because the people running Laredo are not innovating. They think they are young, but they are old. They don't seem to have their pulse on current trends and run the city like it is 1985. This is a vanity job for many of them and some of them have questionable intent. I have tried to get several of them to hire graduates of TAMIU to promote the city online. Get some young people in there that know what the current popular social media sites and current trends are. But they continue with the same people at the Visitor and Convention Bureau. Just so you know, the Visitor and Convention Bureau gets over $3 million per year, which is 100% of the hotel tax. They pay an outside agency to do their social media promotions. How would an outside agency know anything about Laredo? City Council is fixated on La Posada, parks and sports. The Chamber of Commerce seems to be improving. But most of the headlines at LMTOnline are about getting big checks from the FEDS for housing.

In my opinion, Laredo should be trying to get solar farms to power the Meta-data centers. There is big money in that. They should be trying to get Americans retailers back here to purchase items instead of spending so much money advertising in Mexico. This is the largest inland port in the USA and they can't figure it out. We need new ideas from people who know how to figure it out, people who have worked real jobs and people who care about Laredo.

Think if this would be a good career move forward. It pays well and would get you introduced to a lot of people who could make a big difference in your future. So, please consider it!

Good place for young families?

My husband and I are considering moving to Laredo from California for his job. We are hoping to start a family in the next year or so and would plan to stay in Laredo for at least 4 years. I’m hoping to get some insight about people’s experiences with the local healthcare, giving birth, having young kids etc. Thanks!

My dad passed when I was in AF BMT 2 months ago, I was able to attend the funeral service but that was when I was a trainee now that I’m a airman I wanna go back to Laredo and visit my old man on his birthday for him to see that I accomplished this goal that he was looking forward to.

Need help from Tamiu

Hello to anyone reading. I've heard that there is a place at Tamiu that helps people with paperwork and officializing sole proprietor businesses. I've been busy with but trying to make time to start my own thing. I was wondering if anyone knew details about what building, room, and time they open? Also, what do I need ahead of time (paperwork and legal documents) to make the process go smoothly? Thank you for your help.
