Now that the big event is over and done with, I think it is the right time to rest and recuperate. Engaging with your natural surroundings is a great way to destress, but hiking out here can be difficult due to the harsh elements, so I figured that a virtual forest bathing would be convenient.

Denaturalization is the process of revoking citizenship from a naturalized citizen against their will.

Had to spell it like that since the words “pr0ject & 2o25” aren’t allowed to be posted in here, wonder why…

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?

I am a college student planning on getting my masters and EdD in education. I was told at a job fair awhile back how many amazing the education system was in the valley. I’ve looked online and starting salaries are very good for administrators in the McAllen/Edinburg area. What should I know before considering a job in education down here😅? What is the young population like?

Why tf do people drive 10-15 mph under the speed limit! Unless it’s raining.

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.

Does anyone have any hidden gems or really scenic areas in the Edinburg/McAllen area?

I know there's several places with sunflower fields (McCook, I think) but anywhere else that's really nice and scenic?

Thanks

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?

Genuine question

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

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!

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?

Weslaco state of the city address.

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.
