I wanna be hopeful about PR, but it feels like a lot to ask. Lived there a long time. Some cool stuff opened, but on the flip side the QOL issues seem to have gotten a lot worse since the pandemic and the opiod crisis took off. The farther east you are the better, but anything near Aramingo got kinda tough in the last few years. I’m crossing my fingers for the place even though I’m gone.

Yeah these are usually red-eared sliders, which are not native and will screw with the local wildlife. That's one of the huge problems with these turtle guys -- people get sick of their pets and release the turtles into local ponds, where they absolutely take over.

I mean, I think mostly they just kinda crap out and are too expensive to fix so everyone lets them sit around as a “projects” they’re saving up for. Cars are fricking expensive.
