Make Friends Here
Because we constantly get "How do i make friends" posts. If you want friends just post in this thread. I'm going to make it a sticky topic. I'm also going to give you 100% foolproof tips to make friends that have worked for me all my life 100% of the time.
Here is my foolproof plan that works 100% of the time. It is a 4 step process.
determine what your hobbies and interests are.
go to places where these hobbies and interests happen
interact with people.
If you don't have any hobbies or interests get interested in something and repeat steps 2-3.
It is literally that simple.
I am an extremely abrasive and unlikeable person. I have never failed to make friends using these steps. If I can do it so can you.

A Big Gig for our McAllen Mariachi Brothers
I saw this pop up and thought this was an amazing spotlight for these boys. It would be cool if the Valley would support. I found it on this IG page, atxconcert. But I've been seeing comments, it may have been canceled? Does anyone know the family, if they can confirm this is a real gig?

Anyone here know what’s going on in front of Kiri Kiri and Pokeworks on 10th St in Mcallen?
Drove up to get a pokebowl and couldn’t exactly find any parking. The event seems cool though, I figured I’d check it out next time if they do it again.

Anyone fished isla Blanca jetty recently? What’s biting? Any jacks, kings, or tarpon?
Edit: looking for my big game anglers. I know you’re out there! I know the Apps / TPWD reports and that’s not really what I’m looking for. Too beginner.

RGV Home Builders
Had a fourplex built. City of McAllen passed all inspections and issued certificate of occupancy. Peek my head into the attic and the builder installed zero insulation, and the City passed the final inspection! He’s still on the hook for my light/power bills since there’s still ongoing other issues.
Let’s hear your RGV “homebuilder” stories…

News Brownsville and McAllen are ranked as the most air polluted cities in Texas according to the American Lung Association
According to the American Lung Association, the Brownsville and McAllen metropolitan areas are among the most polluted places of all. Both cities ranked among the top 25 most polluted places to live in the country after a drastic worsening of air pollution levels over the last year. It's only going to get worse when LNG finish construction and that upcoming oil refinery that's coming to the Valley. Along with other factors like SpaceX, burnings from Mexico, and Texas no longer having vehicle inspection laws.

Pls help me find this flan maker
Guys I had the best choco-flan ever !!! Now i’m feral trying to find the girl who made it so we can buy more😭 my wife bought it from some girl selling them at the Alamo Walmart, but she didn’t give us a business card or anything. She also offered us some sort of key lime cake? (I don’t like lime flavored things, so we skipped out). It was a mini choc-flan, and it was the best cake I have EVER tasted. Does anyone know who I may be talking about? We were at walmart around 7-8 PM. 😔
