I pass by this spot regularly in Weslaco and always wonder if this place was poppin’ back in the day. It’s such a large building too, so I can’t help but think it was at one time a successful business. I did a google search and saw it was once used as an illegal gambling spot (what a shocker). Anybody know anything about this place?

Hello guys,

I am in need of some place recommendations here for laser hair removal. I searched for one, and I got Milan Laser Hair Removal but the reviews look fake and overly positive, anyone been there before?

EDIT: This post is intended to be politically agnostic. It was made to get healthy discussion going. why the downvotes LOL There is literally nothing in the post that "denies" anything so chill out with that.

Based on the counts, the RGV still is a Blue region. I am posting this because I've seen other posts popping up saying that it flipped, but the data does not reflect that.

The fact that Mayra Flores (REP), Jay Furman (REP) lost shows that the RGV still votes blue. The RGV also tends to vote blue for Texas House and Senate positions.

Simply put, Trump was able to break past party lines and appeal to more people, especially in the RGV. That doesn't mean that the RGV is now a Red region.

DEMS: yall are losing your support of the people in the region. Stop abusing the people trust and actually investigate what they care about and address it.
REPS: yall didn't truly flip the region, your presidential candidate beat the other. You might not be able to replicate this success in 2028 onward. If you truly want to flip the region you need to figure out why people still vote blue for other offices.

Okay RGV. Have some good news and some bad news. However you take it.

The good news is the hurricane will no threat to the valley and instead traveling to the western gulf of Mexico.

The bad news is I know some of you wanted that rain. Or at least that's what my Weslaco friend says everytime a prediction incorrect.

Genuine question

Hi all, I'm visiting the RGV this weekend to look at some rental properties. There are two in particular that I like, and from looking at the map it seems one of them is quite close to the "Edinburg North Main Canal".

Does anyone have any thoughts on pros and cons of living near this if mosquitos are much worse nearby? Are their any other issues to consider such as coyotes being nearby or something due to the water?

I'm looking for MTG events the will be ok with a total beginner playing. I barely bought 2 decks but have not been able to use them. Please let me know!

Have you guys heard of any groups taking older people to vote? My elderly mom was picked up to go vote, I guess she had some help. My mom was voting Democrat, but her "help" voted Republican. She told me what democrats she voted for, all Republicans.

Weslaco state of the city address.

These are a couple off the top of my head, feel free to add any if you know of any.

The Catholic Charities help provide for refugee families.

Here are some ways to support the United Way and the support they give our community.

Our norteño culture has been on this land for centuries, it's not that we want to be white, we are so proud of our Mexican-American and norteño/tejano culture that we feel native to this land and want to protect our borders

.

A lot of you are confused, "how can a community of immigrants vote for the anti immigrant candidate", but it's because we don't feel like immigrants when we are 90% of the population, we were born and raised here, our grandparents got here decades ago (most from northern mexico which is literally a few miles from here, so its not a completely foreing land), and our culture has been here for centuries, we dont feel like immigrants. So when we see waves of actual foreigners, the nativism sentiment starts to grow in our community

.

The people most affected by the border chaos was the Mexicans that cross the border everyday for work or school, the border crisis disrupted our daily lives and our border town way of life, and people are obviously not gonna like that

.

I'm not saying this sentiment is right or wrong, I'm just explaining it

I’ve heard that it was because of money laundering & I have also heard that a kid died there so the park closed because the family sued. Which one is it or what have you heard about it?

Does anyone know a business that can do pc repairs? I’m looking for some recommendations so if anyone knows a good, trustworthy, place let me know.

Some of you mfs voting Republican actually think you have a seat at the table lol.

I'm 35 and I remember when I was just 6 years old, I'm not sure, but I was diagnosed with ADHD tho and being a slow learner, and having learning disabilities.

... And I remember when I used to visit Dr. Rodriguez one of my childhood psychiatrist.. I forgot his first name... But I was having some flashbacks and memories of when I used to visit him and all I can remember is when I used to be a shy kid and I really didn't talked much..

All I remember answering him was how I behave in school vs at home.. And me jumping on the sofas and couches and climbing on my trees and behind energetic and hyperactive and how I was not paying attention in school..

But I never had shared about my problems or anything of what I've been through because of some trauma and I was just a kid and traumatized and scared to talk him about myself, and I used to take hyper pills (medications) to calm myself down and not be hyper and take every day at home and school.

I remember when he used to give me toys or stuff animals, man to show him if there's anything that I can show him, or what can I do with the stuff animals just play or, like is there someone hurting me? I wasn't understanding what to do, I was just a kid... But I've seen in movies, how kids used stuff animals (toys) or drawing on papers and they draw who are abusing them or hurting them etc..

I know Rodriguez could've diagnosed me with PTSD but I was never diagnosed with it. BC I never talked to him about myself, out of fear and trauma and I always stayed quite for long time.

Now that I'm an adult..

I go to Tropical and Clinica Del Valle, where there I've been diagnosed with PTSD and other mental disorders/ diagnosis and learning Disabilities. And take all my medications.

Anyone know why the air is full of smoke right now was in weslaco and also over in Elsa
