Hello, To follow up my previous post about wings, I am here to ask for other recommendations and lesser known or authentic experience food wise and flavors. Here are some that I really like: Burgers- dairy treet and Jim’s Big Burger pizza-lol I guess dominos because this is Victoria Bbq-usually Mutts for drive thru convenience but Mumphords or Lavaca is my go to on the once a month or so occasion Mexican- Las Tapatias is my favorite in town by a mile. The chilaquiles with red sauce is to die for, one of my favorite meals in my life. I go once a week Chicken Fried Steak and American: Double J eatery. The gravy is to die for. Solid Philly cheese steak surprisingly as well.

Is there anywhere you would recommend I try and any dishes that you would say are best? Thanks!

I'm considering getting the 3 gig service, but I'd like to know if the speed and connection is reliable

I swear to god, every cop in this region from Cuero to Edna are actually the most braindead cretins on the face of Earth. They have ALL dumbed down traffic laws merely to “speeding bad (but we love when you speed because that makes us money)”. EVERY DAMN DAY that I drive through Victoria and Edna, at least two jackasses blatantly blow the red lights in some of the busiest intersections…

Where the hell are the cops? Are they too busy jerking each other off to enforce the ACTUALLY DANGEROUS traffic violations? I know none of these dumbasses are actually in town in Edna; they’re all off on 59, playing “who can be the most extortionate tyrant”. Fuck the police, none of them should have jobs if none of them actually care about public safety.

Edit: I drive for work, hence why I see this shit so often.

Hi, recently moved to the area and am an huge wing guy. Looking for local spots (bars, sit down, fast casual, it doesn’t matter to me) that have good wings that aren’t just frozen garbage. I’m not picky on having crazy amounts of sauces to choose from either. A good buffalo is all I need. Don’t get me wrong, wingstop is good but it’s too Pricey for what you get, and the service/consistency at the Buffalo Wild Wings here is not adequate. Also their prices are high too. Anyways, sorry for the long post. Please chime in if you can and have recommendations or feel the same way, cheers!

Howdy Victorians, 

I’m working on a project to capture stories and photographs from all across Texas, and I’m looking for folks who'd be willing to share some of their time with me. 

What it would entail: 

• We’ll have a conversation. About what? We’ll find out along the way. Maybe you have a story you’re itching to share. Maybe you want to talk about a family member, or memories of your hometown, or even just your daily life.
  • This can sound daunting, but it’s really as simple as a conversation. (I also have an extensive background as an oral historian - so I’m good at coaxing stories out of folks.)
  • I will record the audio of this conversation.
• I’ll take some portraits of you. I like to do this old-school; I shoot film on a 4x5 camera, and I only take portraits of folks I’ve spent some time with. You can see some examples of my portraiture here: ~https://imgur.com/a/YtJbCL6~.
  • You will of course receive a digital copy of your portraits - and I’m also happy to make you an old-school print for your troubles!

Some transparency: 

• This is not a commercial endeavor. Nobody is paying me for this, nor will I sell these images. As it takes shape, this project will live online, free for folks to access.
• I do hope that this eventually turns into a project that receives funding from grant sources. As such, I will have very simple personal release forms that any participant would have to sign. 

I'm looking for all sorts of folks to participate - old, young, "kooky", "normal", tall and small alike. The only requirement is that you live in Texas.

If you or somebody you know might be interested, or if you have any questions, please leave a comment or DM me. 

Thanks y’all. 

Anyone tryna meet up and be friends or hangout? Looking to meet with new people

I'm not in Victoria but this is the closest subreddit to where I am. With it seeming more likely that we may be impacted by Beryl, for those that are able, do y'all plan on leaving or hunkering down? It's been a while since I've experienced a hurricane and I'm just trying to get a general idea from people who have been here longer than I have. Thanks!

I am moving to Victoria and what to find the cheapest electric company to use

Do you know any individuals/companies that come to people's houses? Mobile wash and/or detail? Looking for resources for someone that lives in Victoria. Thanks!

i’m moving to victoria mid july. i make decent money + have good credit, but prefer to not use a property management company if i can avoid it because they can be a pain. since im not quite living there yet and can’t jet down super frequently, i was hoping some locals could point me in the right direction. either good realtors who don’t just dump you to PM sites (had enough of that laziness any time i call) or maybe have any other helpful info. thanks in advance!

Trying to get a Guage of Audio Engineers, Djs with over 10 yrs experience, anyone with light sound and Stage experience, also any proficient musicians for hire that are willing to participate in local live music events. This post is for networking purposes, just curious of how Many people in this industry are actually available to work and how many actually live in Victoria or at minimum a touching surrounding county.

Does anyone know if there's somewhere in Victoria with postcards of the city? I've got some people I'd like to send them to, but haven't seen any around.

Hi! I've been in the area for a while but didn't know there was a sub for Victoria! I've been wanting to get back into running and didn't know if there were any public tracks open?

Any local must try restaurants/hidden gems? Visiting from Corpus

I'm an independent consultant for an electric company and I pay $50 for new account referrals. This is super easy money for apartment leasing agents. Let me know if your interested.

Hello friends,

What is a recommended safe way to go from Houston Airport to Victoria, for 2 people?

There is a candidate forum where all 6 people will be asked questions submitted to the Advocate. The forum will be held at the college, and possibly live-streamed. Questions can be sent to deliverydesk@vicad.com. Young people need to ask questions and vote for candidates who want to bring new things to our town, hike and bike trails, food truck parks, etc. Past leadership has not always been forward thinking. If you don’t vote, Victoria is doomed to be run by the 20% who actually go vote.

What's the best way to meet singles here in town?

Genuinely curious if the community is interested. $20 for 4 pictures. Several Christmas background options. I could do a pop up on weekends or weekdays. I'm interested in making a single day pop up soon.

Any places in town to meet people for whatever ?

Anyone have Mint? Price seems to good to be true so I figure service is poor. Thanks for the help!

Hello female here, 32, looking to get into a new job. I am my best at customer service and friendly. I am very trustworthy and am a hard worker! You can depend on me to come in on time and to watch your back. I used to take care of older people at Sodalis memory care and really loved doing it. I would get them up and brush their teeth and hair, change their clothes and change them. Looking to make at least $16 an hour. 361-210-9867 Text or Call me if you have any questions. I like to do crafts also, as I used to paint furniture and resell it on Henrys Shopp on Facebook. I also used to help this older man clean out his rental trailers and houses for evictions! It was fun.
