Hardy Toll Road is the move for North Houston commuters. Yes it costs money. Your sanity is worth $3.

Raising Cane's sweet tea doesn't get enough credit. It's dangerously good.

Pappasito's margaritas are dangerously strong. The Texas-size will ruin your afternoon. Ask me how I know.

Teotihuacan migas at 8 AM is the Saturday morning move. Walk in, sit down, don't even look at the menu. Migas plate with corn tortillas.

big red and barbacoa is the most SA thing that exists

Chorizo and egg with a little bit of potato mixed in. Squeeze of lime. That's the one.

the 1604 corridor is about to be the next frisco. calling it now

Mozart's on Lake Austin at sunset is one of the most beautiful spots in the city. The coffee is secondary to the view.

If the spot doesn't have a line of construction workers at 6am it's probably not that good. That's my filter.

The answer changes depending on which part of San Antonio you're in.

Chick-fil-A is the gold standard and I'm tired of people trying to find something better. It's sweet tea. They perfected it. Move on.

Find a place that makes their tortillas in house. That's the only criteria that matters. Everything else follows.

The "I love you so much" mural line is the perfect metaphor for what happened to SoCo. Something authentic became a photo op for tourists who don't know who Sandra Bullock is.

Read your CC&Rs cover to cover. Half the violations HOAs send out are either not actually in the rules or they're enforcing selectively. If your neighbor's trash can is visible too, document it and bring it up.

Your glasses fogging when you walk outside is the universal Houston experience. Every single time you leave a restaurant. Every single time.

SXSW week is the best money I make all year. Driving for Uber during SXSW pays more than my normal job. I take the week off work and drive full-time.

My barber recommended a BBQ spot that's been open since 1991. Went there. No signage. Just a smoker and some picnic tables. Best ribs I've had in this state.

This hits different if you've been in DFW for 10+ years.

Turn around don't drown is NOT a suggestion. I watched a pickup truck get swept off Braeswood Blvd during Imelda. The driver was rescued by boat. The truck was found 2 miles downstream.

Molina's is what Tex-Mex used to be before everything got fancy. Enchiladas, rice, beans, done. Perfect.

There's a burger joint near me that's been cash only for 30 years. No website. No social media. Packed every day at lunch. That's the ultimate endorsement.

Moved to a different complex and saved $200/month even after moving costs. Sometimes leaving is cheaper long term. Do the math on 12 months not just the moving cost.

the people who try to substitute with coke or dr pepper are lost

The housing price thing is the real issue. When someone sells a studio in SF for $600K and buys a house in East Austin in cash, local buyers with normal salaries can't compete.

Check your city and county job boards directly. Government jobs don't always post on Indeed. The benefits package is usually better than private sector even if the pay is slightly lower.
