Low crime apartments?

Hello all, I’m 20 years old (M) looking to move out of home. I live on the northeast side of San Antonio so the crime is almost in selective areas. I make decent money, 3.5k a month after taxes. I am looking for low crime apartments on the northeast side or north side. Pretty much at every apartment I look for, there’s either way too many problems or way too expensive, with the same problems. I know there is no such thing as a “perfect apartment” but as long as there is no bugs, and my car won’t end up on cinderblocks when I leave in the morning for work, I can deal with the rest. Any recommendations?

Where is the San Antonio moon?

Hi, I've been here for 2 weeks and I've never seen the moon, it's a random thought I knew, but WHERE is the moon? Lol.

It's my first time in the U.S and I'm used to see the moon daily back in Asia... I miss the moon

Upright bass player seeking Rockabilly scene

Is it still alive out there? My old bandmate said Texas is hurting for bass players; is this true? Got a good set up, been playing for near 20 years. Will be out there in May.

Favorite Asian grocer?

Hola! I'm wanting to try some different cold noodle recipes, but none of the grocers in my area (Southside) carry Chinese sesame paste, only tahini.

What grocery stores do y'all recommend? It can be in any part of town ofc, I'd rather drive for a bit to shop local > buying online.

San Antonio's 1930s Redlines

Processing img 9l8kdz937gge1...

Here's a 1930s map showing where racial profiles were living and where loans were likely to be approved due to "hazards". Crazy how that still affects the demographics of the city in these areas of town 95 years later.

Nightclubs that have the same vibe as Heat

Hi, me and my friend are planning to go out sometime next weekend, we always go to heat cause it's close by, inexpensive, and we both love to dance, but we're feeling for something different. We want to go a different nightclub but kinda want the same vibe as heat, just a different aesthetic/area. Any recommendations?

Wiseman/151 Frontage Road Construction Question

So, I work over off Wiseman & 151. If you are ever over there, you know they've put in turnarounds at that intersection. Since they've done that, they removed the sidewalk/concrete back a good 3.5-4ft, enough for a car to fit. This has created an unofficial inside turn lane with zero street markings or traffic signage.

I am asking how to report this to 311 properly. These are my relevant options on the 311 website:

Signal/Timing Modification, Street Maintenance - ROW Construction, Traffic Signals - Maintenance, Traffic Signs - Missing/Down/Graffiti, Traffic Signs - New Request, or Traffic Signs - Visual Obstruction.

This has become irritating on my drive home, and dangerous as I've witnessed accidents and near accidents from people using this unofficial space to turn left onto Wiseman from the 151 frontage road.

New Grad Registered Nurse Pay

I got an offer from a hospital this week, and I’m wondering if 28.45 an hour base pay is worth it as a new grad in the PCU with no previous medical experience. My friend got her offer last week at the same hospital as me but in the ICU with no previous medical experience as well, but they offered them 30.75 an hour. Should I accept this offer? Why am I getting $2.30 less?

This traffic is so trash.

That’s all I wanted to say. Literally sitting in traffic right now and it never changes. There’s always an idiot who crashes on the highway if a butterfly hits their windshield. We need 15 lane highways

Found doggy

There’s been a cute little dog running around here since before the holidays and we decided to take him in before the snow day as we were worried he would be hurt with the freezing temps. Although I’ve bought supplies to keep him safe, we are unable to keep him and have to find a new home or take him to a shelter. we have posted him all over lost pets groups on fb and neighborhood app and even posted flyers in my neighborhood but not one person responded. Please, if anyone knows of a nice home lmk. Otherwise I’ll have no choice but to take him to the shelter by tomorrow. ETA: we have cleaned him of fleas, he has a kennel I purchased and seems to be a shitzu from what I’ve been told and about 1 yr old. He has been very good inside and is house trained from what I’ve experienced and notifies you when he’s in the kennel that he needs to use the rr. Fur has been coming back fuller and nicer from when he first saw him and he has been great around my grandbabies. He just get very excited and likes to play.

Reputable place to find a nanny?

I’m looking for a part time nanny for my 10 month old. I don’t want to use a service like Care .com I rather have someone referred to me. I’m looking for an older female that’s raised a few babies. Someone maybe retired with the availability of part time job hours.

Discussion: College Food Pantries & Community Support in SA

I recently visited my college’s food pantry and was surprised by the number of people using it this semester. It got me thinking about how valuable these resources are, not just for students but for the community as a whole.

From what I understand, the policy used to allow students to access the pantry for six months after leaving school, but that changed last year due to low usage. Now, if you're not enrolled in classes, you don’t qualify—which seems fair. But with more people using the service now, I wonder if that policy change made a big difference.

One issue in the past was food waste, especially produce and bread. Now, with higher demand, maybe that’s less of a problem? It’s good to see the food being used rather than thrown out.

Also, I saw that the San Antonio Food Bank serves around 100,000 people per week—which is a huge number. It makes me wonder:

Have any of you used a college food pantry or other community resources?

Do you think awareness of these services has improved?

What could be done to make sure food assistance reaches those who need it most?

Curious to hear your thoughts!

The toy factory

The Toy factory off Gembler rd. Has anyone worked there or is currently working there or knows anyone that works there? The reviews are conflicting on Glassdoor so I want to know if it’s worth it as in pay, working conditions, management etc. I’m technically a single mom so not sure if it’s the right job for me but I’m very limited on what I can do due to my kids schedule. I’ve been job hunting for months with no luck and I need moneyyy 😖
