Hi,
we’re four guys, and we’ve put together Westminster’s restaurant scene in an app called Vota. The concept is simple: you see two places side by side (for example Famille vs. Kachina Southwestern Grill), you choose the place you’d rather go to, and the ranking updates instantly. The more people vote, the more accurate the list gets over time. There are still a few duplicates here and there, but I’m continuously cleaning up the data.

Here’s the iPhone version, with categories that actually fit Westminster’s food scene:

And here’s the Android version (finally live):

P.S. I’m not from Westminster (I live in Gothenburg). I’m not collecting data, not selling anything, and the app does not use AI-generated content. I’m posting in a few different subreddits because we now support more regions, and I genuinely want honest feedback from people who actually know the area.

Avoid Patriarch Property Management

My daughter and 3 roommates rented a house in College Station managed by Patriarch for two years. When they surrendered the property at the end of the second year, Patriarch did not return their $3000 deposit within the statutory 30-day period or initially provide a list of itemized deductions. They sent a partial refund of $895 43 days later. Only after asking did they provide the list of deductions. We believe the deductions were not valid. The deductions did not account for the pre-existing damage that the roommates had documented during move-in. They were billed for cleaning when they already were given a receipt for the professional cleaning performed upon move-out. Only after filing a petition in Brazos County small claims court did Patriarch return the full deposit plus court fees. Because of this experience, I cannot recommend Patriarch.

You be the Judge...

Were the Infomaniacs from WTAW pushing the narrative that their survey was indicative of the community's perspective on flock in their conversation with Mayor Pro Tem?

Any advice on meeting people?

I (F20) moved to​ cstat/bryan about a year ago because there's a community of people my age and I still dont know anybody lol. I dont have any friends other than my boyfriend and I was originally hoping to make friends with coworkers and such, but that plan is a bust. Most people i met didn't really care to talk outside of work.

I cant drive and I don't really go to church and I'm ​not in school, so​ I'm not even sure how to go about meeting people​​ to make genuine friends and hang out with... I feel kinda silly making a Reddit post asking about it but like, does anyone have advice?? I wanna have a social life too :((​

Where and how do I throw away appliances?

I am moving soon, and I have some old appliances that I would like to throw out (microwave, air purifier etc). Where do I throw them out? Is there a collection site? I am not going to donate them since it has a high chance of being infested with some kind of pest from my shitty apatment.
