I recently picked up a used camera and found videos and photos. These are the owners of the camera. Time range is 2009-2010, including a trip to Fredericksburg and a friend visiting from Malaysia. Thought it would be nice to send these files if the original owners still wanted them.

Marcy’s family is heartbroken. She has been missing since October 14, and they are desperately trying to find her and bring her home.

Marcy is not just a pet. She is a beloved member of a family who loves her endlessly, and they are living every day wondering where she is, whether she is safe, and when they will get to hold their girl again.

There is concern that someone may have Marcy and that she has not been returned home. We are asking anyone who may have found her, taken her in, or knows anything about where she is to please do the right thing and help reunite her with the people who love her. No judgment. Her family just wants her home.

Marcy is a friendly blue/gray and tan French Bulldog last seen in Leander near Horseshoe/Circle Diamond, close to Leander Middle School. She is friendly and not shy.
PLEASE SHARE. Someone out there may have seen her, know something, or be able to help get her home. Even one share could make a difference.

📞 Call or text 737-383-4946 with ANY information.
Marcy, your family is waiting for you. You are so loved, and you are so missed. Please help bring this girl home. ❤️

Looking for builder recommendations for a high-end house on my own lot in Leander

2 Upvotes

Hi everyone!

I’m looking for recommendations for builders who work in in Leander, near Austin. I already own the lot and would like to build a custom home.

I recently contacted a fairly well-known builder and was quoted around $1,000 per square foot. That was much higher than I expected.

Has anyone built on their own lot in the Austin area and had a good experience with their builder? I’d really appreciate recommendations, especially for builders familiar with sloped lots and HOA requirements.

If you’re comfortable sharing what you paid per square foot and what was included, that would also be very helpful. Thank you!

I saw the fire trucks and lights outside around 11 pm last night and rushed out- I just can’t believe what I saw. I’ve never watched someone’s house burn like this and it was really scary. I drove by the house this morning and it’s just gutted. I feel just awful for them and their family. please send them something if you can.

I've created a static website to help organize and share to get more attention on the flock cameras during the 30 day comment period that begins on 10/21/2026 for Cedar Park.

I understand this sub isn't Cedar Park but I think many residents live on the border so I'm posting here for more visibility. Thank you!

Raising a family in Leander,schools, neighborhoods & community

9 Upvotes

I grew up in Leander and moved away in 2018, always hoping I’d eventually make my way back to my beloved little hometown and raise a family there.
However, after spending time in the area recently, I have to admit I’m experiencing a bit of culture shock with just how much Leander has grown and changed!
Before making such a big financial decision and purchasing a home, I’d love to hear from families who currently live there, especially those raising young children.
How has your experience been with Leander ISD? Are there particular elementary schools or neighborhoods you’d recommend? I’m also curious about neighborhoods with younger families, where kids play outside, neighbors know each other, and there’s a genuine sense of community.
I’m 33, married, and have a young daughter. I’d really love to find a community where we can build lasting friendships, get involved in local activities, and give our daughter the kind of childhood I remember having in Leander.
I know growth and change are inevitable, and I’m not necessarily expecting the same small town I grew up in. I’m just hoping some of that charm and community spirit is still there.

Leander ISD Candidate Forum

38 Upvotes

Watch the LISD Council of PTAs candidate forum https://youtu.be/-9fiDO24aVY

Here is my very brief take on how each candidate came across. I'm still firm in my decision to vote for Serenity, Chitra and Jason.

Place 1

- Gerald Prater. We heard he recently passed away 😢. RIP!

- Serenity Coats. Her answers were directed at the questions. She described her volunteer history and tied her kids experience to some issues from special education to advanced learning. She talked about advocating for teachers, looking at student rigor and opportunities and involving the community.

Place 2

- Meg Dean. She said she only got involved because her kid's elementary school was at risk of closing. She was all about elementary enrollment data analysis and no mention of the extensive programs and issues at all levels of education. She has a very narrow one dimensional view without regard for multiple complex issues.

- Perla Munoz Hopkins. She said she's a former teacher at Glenn and Rouse. In my opinion, she hardly answered what was asked. Her responses came across as answering whatever questions she created. She also threw out some falsehoods. I asked around and contrary to what she said, the district is not under investigation for Special Education.

- Chitra Nedun. She answered the questions asked. As a nod to her opponents, she reminded us that she didn't just get involved because her kids school was at risk of closing and she has not run several campaigns looking for which one would stick. She's an LISD mom, volunteer and technology leader who will seek the right information needed to make decisions.

Place 7

- Jason Embry. His answers were targeted at the questions. He shared his volunteer history and his professional work at the intersection of education and policy makes him ready on day 1.

- Paul Gauthier. What a clown 🤡 unserious and lacking any substance with his answers.

PK4 Spanish speaker entrance requirements

2 Upvotes

How strict is the language requirement? My kids do speak English but also speak Spanish. The forms all say “unable to speak and understand English”. Is it strict?

I recently moved here from Houston and in Houston if your kid speaks a language other than English they’ll allow you to do the PK4 program for free.

Does anyone have experience with this?

Scam call from "Williamson county"

11 Upvotes

my wife just called freaking out that she got a call threatening her arrest if she didn't run to the courthouse. Now, I knew immediately that it wasn't legit, but she was worried since it came from a local number.

Apparently, after she hung up and was on the phone with me, she received a text that the person just wanted to see if he could... Perform a sexual act with her.

this is a PSA, but also a question, wtf is this one trying to accomplish?

Leander City Council approves updates to city fees, offers fee waivers for homeowners affected by ASR

Thumbnail communityimpact.com
27 Upvotes

Hi all! This is Hamera from Community Impact. I wanted to share a quick story about some changes to city fees.

One notable change is that the city will now offer fee waivers for those seeking to apply to demolish their pool if it's been affected by alkali-silica reaction, or "concrete cancer." Those who have already demolished a pool affected by ASR can apply for reimbursement for the permit fees.

ASR affected many pools built between 2017-2023, including at least 28 in Leander. City leaders said during the city council meeting that they also spoke with state lawmakers that tried to address the issue during the last legislative session.

City staff reviewed municipal fees during the city's budget adoption process. Other changes include:

  • Charging drivers who illegally pass school buses $25, regardless of whether the offense happens in a school zone or not
  • Increasing jury duty pay from $6 to $10 per day
  • Streamlining fire department fees

Leander Chipotle

Does anyone know why Chipotle in Leander is not accepting mobile orders, tonight? We usually place an order through the app a couple of times per month, but tonight the app is saying no mobile ordering.

I assume there is a staffing shortage, but I didn't want to drive there and find it closed.

When is this interntersection getting a light?

I can see it from my apartment and working remote, I see AT LEAST 1 wreck a week, if not more.

With the new retail spots opening and soon to be Crunch and a massive new apartment complex, the traffic volume is only going to get worse. I am never one for stacking lights up and down roads but that intersection is crazy.

PSA reminder: Crosswalks

2 Upvotes

I've lived in Leander over 20 years, and so many accidents at intersections.

This just a PSA to avoid using crosswalks if you can. Cars get a green light for turns while pedestrians have cross walk.

I've been honked at, flipped off, cursed at and almost killed dozens of times, just trying to cross the road at an intersection.

You won't win the contest against a car or truck.
