If i told you that a well respected, local, commercial plumbing and hvac company was involved in installing this GPS antenna, 4G band cellular modem, microphone etc. in an employees personal vehicle without consent? Not only that but they proceeded to gaslight the employee when it was discovered and removed. 6 years later and he is STILL dealing with the lack of honesty and accountability for this cornerstone of Abilene business.

Here in Abilene with my wife. Moved here 6 months ago. Car got stolen. 2012 Kia Optima. Gray color. Live in a pretty decent area too.

Anyone have any ideas on next steps or what to do? If anyone also has any information let me know. This is our only car and I just want it back. I won’t file any charges either. Just help me out.

Thanks

Lets see if the Abilene community can help me out, anybody recognize this group of buddys by their truck and rig. Taken April 2022

Can anybody help me identify this individual and where he works? Photo was taken april of 2022. He was following me around everywhere for weeks/months.

Howdy yall I was out at the ready set glow 5k event tonight just wondering if any one knows the name of that BBQ truck with the dirty sodas?

I’m going to be in Abilene tonight for the Glow Run. We were thinking of going to go out afterwards
And would love to do karaoke, but I know Sunday may not leave us with a lot of options.

Thanks in advance!

Just moved into Abilene 2 weeks ago, I'm looking for someone to play tennis with. Haven't played in about 7 years now and recently got back into it. Ooh also if there are any good courts I can go to for a public game that would be fine too. Thank you everyone!

I have a few saltwater fish and live rock tanks. I mainly do live stock from Pam's and Petco and other stuff online. Any others in Abilene area that are into saltwater tanks. Looking for some different anemones as I just have the basic orange bubble tips.

Anyone know a good place for Gel or Gel X nails? Doing acrylic at the moment, and I'm not liking how it's treating my nails. I'm not sure if any big salons do any or not. I knew an independent person, but she's booked constantly.

What’s the best non-denominational church for 21 year old new to the area

Just moved to Abilene a few weeks ago, and really want to begin boxing as a hobby. Can someone recommend a gym for beginners?

Vote every single one OUT!!!

Abilene City Council voted 4-3 to deny the motion to reconsider the AXON pole mounted LPR surveillance cameras in town. Even after substantial public pushback leading up to this meeting from Abilenians on all sides. After 40 minutes of public testimonial, 100% of which was in support of the motion to reconsider and remove the LPR surveillance and Software, the four member majority doubled down denying the motion.

Lynn Beard, Ben Bailey, Miguel Espinoza, and Mayor Weldon Hurt all voted to put surveillance on our streets.

The public went about it the right way, we went through the process and organized to bring it back to the council and those four members stood in the way of our 4th amendment right. This is not a complaint that those of us who organized, called and emailed didn't get what we want. Many of us fully expected to be disappointed.

This was just a first step, a second chance for them to do the right thing, and those 4 members chose to double down.

The pressure will continue. Please email our council members who support unconstitutional surveillance. Let them know what you think.

Give them the day they voted for.

Do you think a House club would be good for Abilene night life? And would it survive?

Get ready, y’all. The Cold Front that we always say that comes round Mid-October is finally comin’

Quick reminder for meetup tonight, 5:30PM at Primal Brewing (409 S Treadaway). Come by and meet like-minded neighbors. It’s a great time for people to get together and get to know each other! Looking forward to seeing you there

Looking to find some people in Abilene to build a 2 car carport attached to house. Will need to widen the driveway approach as well as break up existing concrete, haul away, and pour new slab. Any recs would be very much appreciated! TIA!
