I ask as part of a linguistic study covering this topic!

Examples could include things like LTown, San Marvellous, Saigon or Guntown (never mind how common they are)...

incl. nicknames for schools, parks or other institutions/geographic features

HEB I shop there three or four times a week. It’s a small store but adequate for my needs. Now the parking lot is a tight cluster. I drive a truck so I take the time to park out from the store so I can drive out the back of the parking lot. Good folks work there.

Why won't Lockhart implement marijuana deprioritization approved by 68% of voters?

Post image
32 Upvotes

Last year, 68% of Caldwell County citizens voted to decriminalize cannabis in our county, but Lockhart has refused to deprioritize it.

Tonight, Caldwell County Examiner is hosting a forum at the Dr. Eugene Clark Library to discuss how city officials have stopped short of implementing the overwhelming will of voters on the deprioritization of cannabis enforcement.

The forum will be held at 5:30 pm at Dr Eugene Clark Library, 217 S Main Street, Lockhart, TX and is free and open to the public.

See you there!

Hat's off to Texas Dept. of Transportation for making a set of signals even worse...

Heading south on US183 and exit on FM21 to make a left turn to FM1854. Tex Dot has changed the timing of the light right after the bridge (130 ramp) so it's red when you get to it. Previously after you made the left you had a green to FM1854 with only cars running the yellow possible missing the light. Now EVERY vehicle gets stopped IMMEDIATELY after making a left turn. You might want to call and complain if it affects you. I did.

We all gotta attend dudes, to stop ICE!

6 Upvotes

indivisiblelockhart The Caldwell County Commissioners will meet on Thursday, Sept 10, 2026 at 9 am, 2nd floor County Courthouse in downtown Lockhart. On the agenda, H-24, is a discussion and possible action to accept a $100,000 grant from the Office of the Governor, Operation Lone Star Program
"to enhance interagency border security operations including facilitating direct actions to deter and interdict criminal activity. Program participants shall assist in the execution of coordinated border security operations." (Caldwell County Commissioner Court agenda page 1087.)

According to the application approved for submission at the Mar 12,2026 board meeting, proceeds would be used to acquire digital traffic safety trailers with message boards. (What ever that is...)

Caldwell County is already coordinating with ICE per our 287(g) agreement signed back in 2020.

These funds are another symbol of our county's enthusiasm to collaborate with ICE. The commissioners need to hear that county residents are outraged at the way ICE and border patrol have been implementing their mandate, detaining otherwise law abiding people at random traffic stops, maltreating men, women and children in detention centers against their own rules and regulations, withholding due process and expelling immigrants to unsafe countries where our own State Department has issued Red Flag Travel Warnings.

Please, let's fill the room.

Public Works and Water keep passing off an issue with our sidewalk/street to one another...

1 Upvotes

Outside our house, you can see how much the land has sunk and shifted. In fact there are two sinkholes forming outside the sewer drain. We've reported it and they have come out and said yes this is a problem but neither department wants to handle it. Water says it's public work because of the street and sidewalk issue. Public work says it water as it has to do with the sewer and drainage pipe. Neither one is doing anything about it though.

Who do I have to talk to?

I’m hosting a second nonviolent protest against SB 4 in town, on September 4th, at 11 am at lions park,

Because in case you don’t know, under SB 4, a US citizen was deported by local law enforcement in Austin: https://www.texastribune.org/2026/09/02/texas-deported-citizen-brian-morales-ice-partnerships-local-police-sheriffs-287g/

We can not just stand around as these injustices happen, so on that day, let’s all say it together, SB 4 has got to go!

Republic Services and City of Lockhart Utilities

1 Upvotes

If anyone has experienced delays in service or in trash / recycling receptacles from this July - August,

I would be interested in your comments.

In a nutshell, the city renewed a contract (which came along with a price hike) with Republic, who saw fit to replace already existing receptacles with new ones within a certain time frame, which was botched and resulted in me being without a recycling bin for almost one month.

The city has no plan to provide any credit to customers for that time period.

I have reached out to council members and while they offered understanding words, there appears to be no active plan nor consideration for those of us who went for weeks without a service they are fine with charging us for.

To add insult to injury, they did away with the option to do away with recycling (who knows where the hell it goes anyway); did I mention they also are increasing your rates?

City leaders are Austining your Lockhart with glee and reckless abandon and you should be concerned.

Look, I know I usually don’t play country music, but like, we lost Dolly Parton on Wednesday and what am I gonna do? NOT play Dolly? That would be stupid. So I’m playing nothing but Dolly and my favorite country hits on the show this week.

We’ve also got an awesome pre-recorded 40 minute live set from Randeen we recorded at Brain Stem Studio.

Also, I gotta know for this week’s Question of the Week: What’s the MOST country thing about you?
