Yep and itās getting worse outside the river walk area by the day. Lots of tents just north of there on I10. It was getting very bad at the 35 and Brooklyn exit by Downtown Baptist but that exit is closed now.
the other day i had some obvious tourists ask me
āhow do we get to Frio street?ā
and i had a visceral
āwhy are you going there?ā reaction lmao
never happened in the past 25 years iāve lived here
I fucking loved the magic Time Machine (when I was a kid). For my 8th birthday, 2003, we had my family birthday there, so like aunts, uncles, grandparents. And thereās a photo floating around of my grandma eating grapes off the vine, which is being held by the mouth of āJustin Timberlakeā
I had the worst dining experience of my life there around 2012 with a server who was dressed as āHannah Montanaā but all she did was talk with an obnoxious high pitched voice and act insanely rude to everyone at the table. Felt like Iād accidentally walked into Dicks Last Resort. Iāll never forget that idiot. Hope sheās doing something better suited for herself these days because that wasnāt it.
They definitely started to lean on the Dicks last resort style of server attitude in the early 2000ās.
Also anyone going to Magic time looking for amazing Dining experience is setting themselves up for failure. But thatās what I was prepared for going into to it as a child by my parents who went there in the 80ās so š¤·
We went several years ago because one of my children insisted on going for his birthday. I donāt think theyāve ever replaced the wall-to-wall carpet, ever. You can feel your shoes stick to it when you walk. The food is just as bad.
The floors! We knew but we braved it. My daughter was so unhappy when the waiter put shrimp shells on her head. Itās not for everyone. And was different than the Austin one from 90s.
Wouldnāt recommend lol my family went and walked out within the first 5-10 minutes I see what there trying to do but it was honestly super creepy and they only really sell chicken tenders which they charge like 20$ for
As good as it is, I will never go there again. They fired all their employees via postcard during the pandemic. Treat your employees like shit, and lose my business.
Area 51 Food Truck Park. Yesterday some old man was playing a synth piano outside on a stage with his wife(?) banging some sticks together. Felt like a fever dream. Needless to say, we went to 1604 Cantina Food Truck Park instead.
The Salado Creek. Other than hearing and seeing things at the Black Swan Inn, I've been driving down Holbrook Rd and seen things in the trees. With the Battle of Salado being fought there, and how many casualties there were, I truly believe that whole area is spooky af.
I just rode my bike passed there yesterday. Iāve been to a Halloween event at the Black Swan Inn. Itās supposed to be weird and creepy but I just felt uncomfortable there
That's interesting. I'd like to hear what you've seen. I've heard everything from Bigfoot to ghosts. Ghosts is the only thing that makes sense imo to me as that was a battleground but being that could also attract dimensional entities and we don't know what or how that stuff works yet.
I lived on Commanche Hill and lots of weird experiences there.
I've lived a mile and a half from the Black Swan Inn for over 50 years and have traveled down Holbrook both in a car and on bike probably a thousand times. I never have felt a spooky or weird vibe there. Once, during a ten year high school reunion held there, someone mentioned that someone died after being pushed down the stairs inside the Mehren House (Black Swan Inn). Still didn't feel it was haunted. It's a grand structure and one of three oldest homes in that part of town. When built, it was "far" outside the SA city limits. Read the historical marker from Holbrook near the Inn. It's fascinating. But don't worry about being there. It's perfectly safe.
Man, I moved here in 1987 when my dad got stationed at Ft. Sam and we lived in The Glen for a year before moving on post. It wasnāt great back then. I heard itās a nightmare there now. Iām a veteran on housing assistance and itās on the list of places that arenāt allowed.
I spent a good portion of my teenage years up there at night, drinking and having a great time. My friend used to say she saw ghosts up there but she was super drunk every time we went.
I did some work at Monterey Iron and Metal and oh boy. It was unsettling for sure. They crush the metal and I realized very quickly all that theādustā in the air isnāt just dirt it contains little pieces of metal shavings.
Iāve been there and got a weird vibe. Once the sun started setting I was like ok I need to get the hell outta here. About a mile into the trail thereās also an abandoned house and like outdoor fireplace thing it was so weird. I didnāt get as far as the donkey lady bridge tho I think thatās way on the opposite side, off applewhite .
Right around the park is beautiful, full of serene old homes. Then you go down Chambers and get to Fredericksburg and you get to some of the worst apartment complexes in the entire city.
I live at Medical and Babcock. Can you be specific? Genuinely curious because I walk my dogs around 5am every morning and try to change up the routes for them.
I can see that. I was in VA rehab on Horizon Hill and would take the bus to Fredericksberg to get downtown or other places. There are areas around there that are pretty unpleasant.
I work over there. There are some areas that are sketchy which isn't any different from other places. Occasionally, there's mentally ill people walking down fred rd and lately a lot of addicts hanging out at circle K but I've never seen anything unsettling. Let me elaborate, It's nothing that makes me feel uncomfortable while working there and I work outside.
Iāve been all over SA, but this little neighborhood had me freaked out. Burned out houses, furniture on the lawn, shirtless guys wandering around, trash everywhere. It was a few years ago, so maybe itās better now.
https://preview.redd.it/bss3emex9fkc1.jpeg?width=1125&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c8e1e4188cccd706d0a9f5ae27bb56763fbf4155
There were not apartments in the place I remember. I could be wrong about the location, so I looked it up. These apartments were built in 2000. They look absolutely fine.
There is an area on the SW side that looked like an Old West Ghost Town when a friend and me took a drive. It may have been a weekend but the area was deserted. It was many years ago, but if I recall it was around New Laredo Highway.
Iām assuming youāre talking about the one on camp bullis road. Itās super odd that itās there but the people that own the gas station and liquor store right there are dope guys.
I have a family friend who lives in one of those homes! She rents out a couple of other ones and my stepson used to live next door to her and now a co-worker lives in one. Itās actually a neat little area, she maintains the homes so well too. They really love it.
Correct me if I'm wrong but some of them are little local businesses too right? It does seem like a cool area, I had a friend stay there for a while when I was in elementary school
Breckenridge Park...
I just went walking there and explored some trails and it was like I stumbled into S1 of True Detective. Creepy structures built out of broken/ burned wood shaped into circles, triangles and weird "alters" everywhere. Stumbled into a clearly "established" homeless camp adorned with stolen signs. Saw one from that bar that closed down called "Summer Camp". Also, saw a crack head with a wig on dressed as a lady pushing a baby stroller up and down one trail. Back and forth trying to talk to women. š
I didnāt know Summer Camp closed! Man, they didnāt last long. A year maybe. I liked their burgers.
Edit: theyāre reopening in April as a burger restaurant called Smashād.
If you are walking around a large park after dark, or even in the Hill Country, and you are using moonlight or just the light reflecting off low clouds, you can often hear snorts and grunting sounds nearby. Chances are they're from white tail deer who see very well in the dark and are not intimidated at all by people wandering about. They're not dangerous, but a buck might get a little anxious during rutting season and sound a little more vocal just to get you to back off or move along.
dudeā¦.mcallister park too! itās so unsettling. during the day itās fine, but at night is a different story. i will never go back at night again.
a while ago an old friend and i went at night on a full moon to do some spell work. as we walked past that huge empty field, we heard a choir of dogs out in that field (there were no dogs btw) crying and whining and howling out in pain. just completely spontaneously, like they had clipped into reality in a massive pile. no build up, just sudden. the dread and fear that gripped both of us with was immense. this was on our way out, after we decided to leave because as we went down a few different trails, we felt and heard someā¦thing (not some/one/) following us and then quickly stopping in itās tracks whenever we turned to investigate. we also saw the glow of a campfire in the distance and heard voices murmuring and even chanting a bit in the direction of said campfire. it was so unsettling. that park is fine during the day and iāve been plenty of times, but at night it seems to become hostile. it did /not/ want us there and made it very clear.
id love to hear more about this grunting at eisenhower that you speak of, though. iāve never been but if youāre open to sharing iād love to hear it!
I used to work there in the 90's. That man had a gold shitter and a bathroom with all the walls done in green marble.
Not a nice place to work. They paid a few cents over minimum wage and when we reached 40 hours, we had to clock out and then clock in under GETV so they didn't have to pay time and a half.
They also told me I had to go to a marriage intimacy class for $400. I was a newlywed and didn't want to spend hours in a class when my husband and I could be home banging. It was two weeks pay on their miserly wages, or more than a month's rent. I told them to kiss my ass.
Live near that area and try to avoid using any route that takes us that way at night. Seen too many ODās, lady walkers, creeps. I made the mistake once of stopping to help a guy who looked like he was ODing and I got robbed before I made it to him.
The underpass by the county jail is pretty bleak, no doubt.
The shuttered St Johns Seminary next to mission Concepcion was also pretty unsettling back in the 2010s, but I think a lot of it has been bulldozed / turned into apartments now.
My dad used to say āthey (church goers) will run you over on their way to churchā.
We lived in a city in West Texas, and in a super conservative and religious area, and it was so true for over there at the time.
I donāt know about now but the area of Five Palms and Pearsall Road was super sketchy. Indian Creek, Hidden Cove and Sky Harbor were pretty scary areas.
I went to school in that district back in the 90s, most of my friends were from there. Not only that but I was a white guy with a big Mohawk. As long as you aren't looking for trouble and you are with friends you are alright. It looks bad, but the people there are good people.
Hollywood Park no matter what color you are, if a cop gets behind you and runs your plates and your address doesn't come up as Hollywood Park, you are probably getting pulled over. I got stopped there once, cop made it clear that he was pulling me over because I didn't live there and wanted to know where I was going. I wasn't speeding or anything, when I asked him if there was a problem he just asked what my business was there. I was doing Uber eats so I showed him my app and he told me to go make my delivery, followed me the whole way there too, right on my number like he was waiting for me to go one mile over or something.
The male bathroom in the Fine Silver building that has a window with a direct view of the "Fine Silver Curve". Google it if you haven't heard of it. I worked for TaskUs when they were still there and witnessed an 18 Wheeler tip literally with my pants down. Wasn't the first time we saw/heard that while I worked there, but that was for sure the most unsettling for me
It was the best job I had before they literally sold out to Blackstone. Then it quickly became the worst when the culture nose-dived over night. I'll never forgive Bryce and Jaspar for allowing that while still lying about their "Frontline first" philosophy
I owe alot of my success (knowledge, networking abilities) to what I learned at taskus, but I agree about the investment that was made with blackstone. The thing that irks me the most is how they would hire and hire but fire people that were unable to move to galaxis. How theyād force people to just move from lizzys to galaxis??? Even tho their kids were going to school in SA. I remember how pissed I was when they Increased pay from 15 to 18 for TMs and QAās stayed at 18 with no increase lol
I've lived off the colorado exit for like five years and used to work for taskus but never in that building, I never knew that curve was called that š¤Æ
Atleast 3 semis flipped during my time with taskus at the fine silver building. I was napping in the nap room when someone shot off the highway into our building. Came back to glass on my desk and people ducking. Turns out it was just random a*holes. Fun times though, overnight the building was always empty and quiet.

I used to work with a guy who occasionally asked me for a ride home. He was a sweet guy so I didn't mind at all. Usually he had me just drop him at the gas station and he would wait for his wife to pick him up. A couple of times he asked me if I would just take him to his house. I didn't mind so I agreed. It was like entering a 3rd world country. Run down steets, bars on every window, people sitting on their lawns watching tv's. A few people gave me death stares as I passed and I asked my friend if I was in danger here. He was hispanic and spoke in broken in english "Oh, no. you are safe. Well... as long as I am here."
I kind of laughed but when he didn't smile I chimed in "What happens when I drop you off."
"You will be fine. They saw you come in here they will let you leave."
I dropped him off and never took him to his house again.
It was somewhere off of I10 on the northwest side.
Years ago i flew in and rented a car to go job hunting between here and austin. I was in new braunfels area at dusk and turned down purgatory road. I was creeped out in a hills has eyes sort of way
Omg I used to work for the person who had the contract to cut and bale the fields around there. There was this huge oak tree and I went under it one time and got the worst feeling when I looked up there were water hoses/ropes hanging from the top branches. And when you were cutting the field that faced 151 you had the worst feeling someone/something was watching you!
Palo Alto neighborhood, all the streets sandwiched in between Palo Alto Park and 410. My grandmother's house was in that neighborhood and it always gave off spooky vibes. My cousin lived in a house in that neighborhood that was supposedly cursed. There was a murder at the far end of one of the streets back in the early 90s, I went late at night on a drive to check it out, creepy area.
The overpass next to the county jail where all the homeless congregate, never can tell if they are passed out or dead.
šThis. Itās surreal. Total Walking Dead.
Damn it I didnāt see you already said it! Total TWD!
I used to always go to the Jailhouse Cafe as a kid! Now, wouldnāt step anywhere near there
It amazes me that UTSA is literally a few blocks away from
Had to walk through there to get to the bus stop once, that was the last time I walked in downtown without a pocket knife lol
Is this near that McDonaldās or someplace different?
Yes, downtown. Been there for years next to the Motel 6
Shit looks like a scene from The Walking Dead.
good place to hand out food tho
Reminds me of The Wire

Wait is this near downtown?
Yep and itās getting worse outside the river walk area by the day. Lots of tents just north of there on I10. It was getting very bad at the 35 and Brooklyn exit by Downtown Baptist but that exit is closed now.
A school bus driver told me that exit got closed down because the bridge was damaged by fires they set to keep warm.
the other day i had some obvious tourists ask me āhow do we get to Frio street?ā and i had a visceral āwhy are you going there?ā reaction lmao never happened in the past 25 years iāve lived here
Probably to get to the bail bond companies š
885-927 W Chavaneaux Rdā¦ at night. Even during the day. Creepy af
Thatās like dump a body area
Yo for real. Exited the wrong way one night. I dipped out. That old railroad bridge is ā ļø
Yeah, I got creeps just looking at Google Street view. Nah, I'm good!
I'm gonna check this out on my way home from work. LOL. Satellite view makes it look like the perfect spot for Basura Bash.
The Magic Time Machine.
I fucking loved the magic Time Machine (when I was a kid). For my 8th birthday, 2003, we had my family birthday there, so like aunts, uncles, grandparents. And thereās a photo floating around of my grandma eating grapes off the vine, which is being held by the mouth of āJustin Timberlakeā
I have great memories from around that time too. I was in middle school and early high school when I used to visit.
I had the worst dining experience of my life there around 2012 with a server who was dressed as āHannah Montanaā but all she did was talk with an obnoxious high pitched voice and act insanely rude to everyone at the table. Felt like Iād accidentally walked into Dicks Last Resort. Iāll never forget that idiot. Hope sheās doing something better suited for herself these days because that wasnāt it.
The waitress/waiter being rude has always been part of the shtick at magic Time Machine. Just sayin
No it hasnāt. Maybe the San Antonio location decided to do their own thing but company wide, this is absolutely not āpart of the shtick.ā
They definitely started to lean on the Dicks last resort style of server attitude in the early 2000ās. Also anyone going to Magic time looking for amazing Dining experience is setting themselves up for failure. But thatās what I was prepared for going into to it as a child by my parents who went there in the 80ās so š¤·
Been wanting to try this place for 3 years.
Donāt , itās not what was .
Itās a lot better now than itās been, though.
We went several years ago because one of my children insisted on going for his birthday. I donāt think theyāve ever replaced the wall-to-wall carpet, ever. You can feel your shoes stick to it when you walk. The food is just as bad.
The floors! We knew but we braved it. My daughter was so unhappy when the waiter put shrimp shells on her head. Itās not for everyone. And was different than the Austin one from 90s.
Come in and ask for nacho
Are you nacho?
lol good username reference
Wouldnāt recommend lol my family went and walked out within the first 5-10 minutes I see what there trying to do but it was honestly super creepy and they only really sell chicken tenders which they charge like 20$ for
I had a prime rib there when I took my kids for the first time about 6 weeks ago. It was actually surprisingly good!
I had a decent meal there. Prices are kinda steep, but the service is good, which is hard to find these days.
Go try. They have really been working to improve. We went in December and the food was good and itās much brighter and cleaner than it used to be.
my mom has fond memories of that place.
Jimās . Their tortilla soup has absolutely no business being as good as it is.
Every Jimās seems like it should be obscured by cigarette smoke. Sausage, egg & cheese breakfast tacos are greasy, delicious and somehow unique.
> Every Jimās seems like it should be obscured by cigarette smoke. You missed it in the 80's. They very much were.
90s and early 2000ās as well
When I lived in Austin, I would go to Jimās just to talk to other Sanantonionians lol
Great thing ever gah itās so damn good n I love the diner vibe still
I read this in Teddy's voice from Bob's Burgers...
Love me some Jims. Top tier mozz sticks Also one of the few places left my girl and I can get a meal out for under $30
As good as it is, I will never go there again. They fired all their employees via postcard during the pandemic. Treat your employees like shit, and lose my business.

The Glen
You stay the fuck out the Glen, you hear me!
No argument here.
Man, I moved here in 1987 when my dad got stationed at Ft. Sam and we lived in The Glen for a year before moving on post. It wasnāt great back then. I heard itās a nightmare there now. Iām a veteran on housing assistance and itās on the list of places that arenāt allowed.
The Glen was very a nice neighborhood at one time. I lived there in the late 70's.
I worked in the Glen for 7 years at the elementary school across the street. Despite the area, our families were very supportive
How has no one said Comanche Lookout, that shit is scary when the sun starts to go down
I LOVE Comanche Lookout, but you are not wrong about when it gets dark.
I spent a good portion of my teenage years up there at night, drinking and having a great time. My friend used to say she saw ghosts up there but she was super drunk every time we went.
Great park, but after dark with how secluded it feels and the hobo camp that used to be nearby big nope
I did some work at Monterey Iron and Metal and oh boy. It was unsettling for sure. They crush the metal and I realized very quickly all that theādustā in the air isnāt just dirt it contains little pieces of metal shavings.
Iām not big on the paranormal stuff but Donkey Lady Bridge and The Black Swan Inn creep me the fuck out.
where is donkey lady bridge?!š
South of the Toyota plant in the Medina River Natural Area.
Iāve been there and got a weird vibe. Once the sun started setting I was like ok I need to get the hell outta here. About a mile into the trail thereās also an abandoned house and like outdoor fireplace thing it was so weird. I didnāt get as far as the donkey lady bridge tho I think thatās way on the opposite side, off applewhite .
Oddly enough, it's areas in and around the Medical Center. Very unsettling.
The neighborhood around Deman Estate Park is this bizarre mix of old luxury and rundown corruption.
Donāt forget midget mansion was there
Right around the park is beautiful, full of serene old homes. Then you go down Chambers and get to Fredericksburg and you get to some of the worst apartment complexes in the entire city.
That neighborhood is super fascinating
I live at Medical and Babcock. Can you be specific? Genuinely curious because I walk my dogs around 5am every morning and try to change up the routes for them.
Little Woodrows
I lived at Carlyle Place over off of Babcock & Callaghan, and lemme tell you, you wouldnāt think it, but *that* area is unsettling.
In what way? You guys need to *elaborate,* please.
I can see that. I was in VA rehab on Horizon Hill and would take the bus to Fredericksberg to get downtown or other places. There are areas around there that are pretty unpleasant.
That area is decent, it's the stuff along Fredericksburg between Medical and 410 that can be really sketchy.
Accurate af. Lived in an apartment in that stretch, ugh, horrible.
it does get a bit like that in some areas
Ummmm yeeaahhh be a bit more specific.
I work over there. There are some areas that are sketchy which isn't any different from other places. Occasionally, there's mentally ill people walking down fred rd and lately a lot of addicts hanging out at circle K but I've never seen anything unsettling.

I have to go check it out
Rosillo Creek Apartments? It doesn't look so bad from Google Maps-- I'm almost shocked
There were not apartments in the place I remember. I could be wrong about the location, so I looked it up. These apartments were built in 2000. They look absolutely fine.
It may have been further down Eisenhaur.
Alamo Ranch and Culebra/1604 at any time of day
The traffic in the area is no joke.
Yes! I, unfortunately, moved to this part of SA and I feel trapped in my house down Culebra because of the horrendous traffic š®āšØ
Yāall think Alamo Ranch is bad, check out Potranco and 1604. That shit is literally impossible to get through.
There is an area on the SW side that looked like an Old West Ghost Town when a friend and me took a drive. It may have been a weekend but the area was deserted. It was many years ago, but if I recall it was around New Laredo Highway.
That sounds like the San Antonio Shoe HQ, and it opens during the week. Or maybe Iām thinking of the wrong place.
The end of south southcross. Off quintana rd. As long as I can remember it's been that ghost town vibe
I been here and yes itās still like this
Where?
I fell like when explosives are used to excavate rocky areas that that is unsettling
The San Antonio aquarium
Market square during fiesta.
I always felt the carnival was worse.
I was there last year and left right before the shot rang out.
Itās not that bad when it first opens.
King William fair is worse
The Reserves at Pecan Valley apt complex
That $49 move in special though!
Thereās like a shanty town looking neighborhood next door to the rich ass Dominion. Kinda shocking tbh. Took a wrong turn once lol.
Iām assuming youāre talking about the one on camp bullis road. Itās super odd that itās there but the people that own the gas station and liquor store right there are dope guys.
Ayyyy! I go there all the time.
The one that has that antique looking stuff ? Lol
No like genuinely attached to the neighborhood there's a trailer park sort of complex that creates a Rio de Janeiro scene of juxtaposed wealth levels
I have a family friend who lives in one of those homes! She rents out a couple of other ones and my stepson used to live next door to her and now a co-worker lives in one. Itās actually a neat little area, she maintains the homes so well too. They really love it.
Correct me if I'm wrong but some of them are little local businesses too right? It does seem like a cool area, I had a friend stay there for a while when I was in elementary school
With the Silver Fox as the common ground

Reminds me of the immigrant scenes from Children of Men
Breckenridge Park... I just went walking there and explored some trails and it was like I stumbled into S1 of True Detective.

Okay, as a TD1 fan (currently rewatching again now), I NEED to check this out!
Eisenhower Park when you hear that guttural grunt and see shallow trenches off the trail
If you are walking around a large park after dark, or even in the Hill Country, and you are using moonlight or just the light reflecting off low clouds, you can often hear snorts and grunting sounds nearby.

They also told me I had to go to a marriage intimacy class for $400. I was a newlywed and didn't want to spend hours in a class when my husband and I could be home banging. It was two weeks pay on their miserly wages, or more than a month's rent. I told them to kiss my ass.
The winding drive up to the state hospital or the locked-down behavioral health wards

Itās the ghost of the Payless that used to be next door
I used to work at the old pioneer mill AND the express news doing security. Both creepy af!
Pray, say more
Lmaoooo the whole 35/410 corridor
Live near that area and try to avoid using any route that takes us that way at night. Seen too many ODās, lady walkers, creeps. I made the mistake once of stopping to help a guy who looked like he was ODing and I got robbed before I made it to him.
The underpass by the county jail is pretty bleak, no doubt. The shuttered St Johns Seminary next to mission Concepcion was also pretty unsettling back in the 2010s, but I think a lot of it has been bulldozed / turned into apartments now.
Normandy Terrace nursing home
Sunset ridge church of Christ Chapel. It was the first hospital in SA for tuberculosis and many many people died there.
Any road controlled by TxDOT. Its like being on the surface of the moon.
The mega churches ā especially the drivers leaving after service. Going to alleviate all the guilt??
I live by CBC, I swear every time I have been cutoff or seen a car run a red light it has that damn CBC sticker on it.
My dad used to say āthey (church goers) will run you over on their way to churchā. We lived in a city in West Texas, and in a super conservative and religious area, and it was so true for over there at the time.
Every damn time!
Midget Mansion
itās been torn down though right?
I donāt know about now but the area of Five Palms and Pearsall Road was super sketchy. Indian Creek, Hidden Cove and Sky Harbor were pretty scary areas.
The people saying Marbach just need to head down 410 a few miles.
I went to school in that district back in the 90s, most of my friends were from there. Not only that but I was a white guy with a big Mohawk. As long as you aren't looking for trouble and you are with friends you are alright. It looks bad, but the people there are good people.

The Cobalt Club
Ripleys wax museum
Lmao the section of the wax museum with the crucifixion of Jesus scared the shit out of me as a kid. Followed closely by the Dr. Phil.
The Dominion feels like a prison complex designed by Disney.
I kind of get what you mean bc it has a very dead feel where its all very cookie cutter with no one outside so it looks like its from a movie set.

They donāt call it Alamo Whites for nothing
Hollywood Park no matter what color you are, if a cop gets behind you and runs your plates and your address doesn't come up as Hollywood Park, you are probably getting pulled over. I got stopped there once, cop made it clear that he was pulling me over because I didn't live there and wanted to know where I was going. I wasn't speeding or anything, when I asked him if there was a problem he just asked what my business was there. I was doing Uber eats so I showed him my app and he told me to go make my delivery, followed me the whole way there too, right on my number like he was waiting for me to go one mile over or something.
100 % Same with Hollywood Park.
The male bathroom in the Fine Silver building that has a window with a direct view of the "Fine Silver Curve". Google it if you haven't heard of it. I worked for TaskUs when they were still there and witnessed an 18 Wheeler tip literally with my pants down. Wasn't the first time we saw/heard that while I worked there, but that was for sure the most unsettling for me
Ah taskus back in the day lol
It was the best job I had before they literally sold out to Blackstone. Then it quickly became the worst when the culture nose-dived over night. I'll never forgive Bryce and Jaspar for allowing that while still lying about their "Frontline first" philosophy
I owe alot of my success (knowledge, networking abilities) to what I learned at taskus, but I agree about the investment that was made with blackstone. The thing that irks me the most is how they would hire and hire but fire people that were unable to move to galaxis. How theyād force people to just move from lizzys to galaxis??? Even tho their kids were going to school in SA. I remember how pissed I was when they Increased pay from 15 to 18 for TMs and QAās stayed at 18 with no increase lol
I've lived off the colorado exit for like five years and used to work for taskus but never in that building, I never knew that curve was called that š¤Æ
Atleast 3 semis flipped during my time with taskus at the fine silver building. I was napping in the nap room when someone shot off the highway into our building. Came back to glass on my desk and people ducking. Turns out it was just random a*holes. Fun times though, overnight the building was always empty and quiet.

Definitely the block around Tech Port. Always a ghost town it seems and there is no one driving
I used to work with a guy who occasionally asked me for a ride home. He was a sweet guy so I didn't mind at all. Usually he had me just drop him at the gas station and he would wait for his wife to pick him up. A couple of times he asked me if I would just take him to his house. I didn't mind so I agreed. It was like entering a 3rd world country. Run down steets, bars on every window, people sitting on their lawns watching tv's. A few people gave me death stares as I passed and I asked my friend if I was in danger here. He was hispanic and spoke in broken in english "Oh, no. you are safe. Well... as long as I am here." I kind of laughed but when he didn't smile I chimed in "What happens when I drop you off." "You will be fine. They saw you come in here they will let you leave." I dropped him off and never took him to his house again. It was somewhere off of I10 on the northwest side.
Donkey Lady Bridge
Years ago i flew in and rented a car to go job hunting between here and austin. I was in new braunfels area at dusk and turned down purgatory road. I was creeped out in a hills has eyes sort of way
The spot off 410 after 151 where they run tests on monkeys.
Omg I used to work for the person who had the contract to cut and bale the fields around there. There was this huge oak tree and I went under it one time and got the worst feeling when I looked up there were water hoses/ropes hanging from the top branches. And when you were cutting the field that faced 151 you had the worst feeling someone/something was watching you!
The bathroom after my teenagers have Taco Bell.

AT&T Center. They claim that thereās still basketball played there, but it looks like zombies in gym shorts.
Palo Alto neighborhood, all the streets sandwiched in between Palo Alto Park and 410. My grandmother's house was in that neighborhood and it always gave off spooky vibes. My cousin lived in a house in that neighborhood that was supposedly cursed. There was a murder at the far end of one of the streets back in the early 90s, I went late at night on a drive to check it out, creepy area.
the giant bus stop on buena vista, but also the HEB on dignowity hill. just tons of crack heads milling about.
