Thank you, UTPD, for doing such a great job yesterday in what was a tragic and scary situation that…read morecould have been much worse.

I have been trying to communicate with the Judge Secretary since Wednesday with no response. I was…read moretold how to handle something now neither party is answering. At 1340 I called the Precinct again today to ask what was the price to file a Motion, they told me I would get a returned call because they did not have the answer. Now 1900 I have yet to get a call. Now I'm thinking just because the position they hold, they think they can do whatever. I warned them I would be posting everything public because Elgin is known for their ways of whiteness.

This is where we got married. Overall, our experience was good…read more Our wedding date was July 3rd (2009), so I called way in advance to make sure that would work out since it was a Friday before a major holiday and we wanted to get married in the early afternoon. This ended up working out fine for Judge Benton Eskew's schedule, so I went ahead and set things up with his secretary. I called back a couple of weeks before the wedding to confirm the date/time just to check, and I nearly passed out (really, at the time I had a heart condition that is now surgically corrected) when the secretary at first said she didn't have it down in her book. But then she checked the Judge's calendar, and our appointment was written down there. So everything was actually okay, it was just a bad scare (yep, that's why 4 stars and not 5). A few days before the wedding my now-husband and I went to get our marriage license. The employee we interacted with was very nice, she made friendly conversation with us while getting everything ready. We were given a funny little book about marriage, which was much more gender-equal than I expected. Our actual wedding went great. The Judge and the other employees were very friendly, and accommodating of the fact that we brought a small group with us. We were surprised that the Judge had a page of bible verses to read out before marrying us ... I realize that might bother others of course, and that's why I'm mentioning it, but it wasn't a big deal to us and probably made our families happy. He also spoke about the rings' symbolic function, etc. From what I'd previously heard about courthouse weddings, I had just been expecting something much more sterile/perfunctory/impersonal than what we got, so I was very happy. We have many great pictures from our ceremony (friends and family took them), when we were only expecting to have a few. When we later got our marriage certificate in the mail we received another happy surprise: it was actually nice to look at! We were planning on displaying it in our home anyway, but we expedited the process since the certificate was so pretty.

This little cemetery sits several hundred feet back from the busy Dessau Road near Howard Lane…read more This is one of those graveyards way back in the day when it served its parishioners at this local church when it was actually located in the country before Austin ever expanded. There's about 100 or so graves here and there's still room for more. Needless to say this graveyard is slowly becoming surrounded by retail and apartments. The old original church appears to be closed for good, but there are some other structures on the property which act as ongoing church facilities behind the graveyard. I noticed that there are two historical markers denoting this place in history. Apparently this is private property so if you wish to see this graveyard it might be best to come on a Sunday morning.

They reserve the computers and kick off people that actually need to use the computers to get work completed, it's ridiculous. There needs to be posted signs that allow people to have priority if they are using them for prosocial activities instead

There is also a wooden piano chained down inviting you to play. Along the edge of the parking lot is a story path, perfect for young school-aged children. It is "The Three Billy Goats Buenos" and looks very cute! There is a lovely green area outside by the parking lot.  And the parking lot, while not huge, does appear to be adequate for a branch library location.

For the rodeo, you can't beat this venue. I've only been here once but when comparing this setup to…read morethe San Antonio rodeo, this place is tops. There's not a bad seat in the house. We sat in the 200s and had a great view of the events and musical performers. The beer vendors were plentiful. The line for refreshments, merchandise and bathroom were all short. The restrooms were cleaner than you'd expect for a rodeo. Outside, the carnival was setup in a way that there was plenty of room for people to walk around. The only downer is that it's a pretty good trek from parking to expo center but parking only cost $5. I don't know what other events are held here but based on this experience it's a good spot to be for spectators.

This cemetery is tucked away behind an older neighborhood in South Austin. It is located on a…read morecorner lot that is about 2 to 3 acres in size. There is no fence surrounding it or a road leading into it. The grave plots are pretty much scattered and random throughout the property with no real order to them. The majority of these graves were placed here in the last 40 to 50 years. The newest grave was from 2021 making this still an active graveyard. Unfortunately the cemetery has not been kept up too well and has a lot of unmanicured trees and lots of weeds. The oldest grave that I could find here was from 1935. There are several graves that belong to military service members. You can find out more information on this cemetery by reading the historical sign in the photos posted in this review.
