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.

Need concrete input please

We had gas line work on the street recently and they tore up our easement and some of the sidewalk. Attached are images of the "repair".

According to city code it is supposed to be fixed to be just as good or better than the condition it was before.

Who does concrete and can help me decide if this is horrible or am I being too picky?

They butted the concrete up against my brick wall and did not even make a clean line on the sidewalk next to the ground access.

What restaurants would you recommend?

My grandparents are coming to visit, they told me to pick some nice restaurants to go to. I’m not sure where to take them (I just cook at home or eat on campus). Any suggestions?

The light pollution here in town...

So, I've been living here for almost 15 years in total. And, the light pollution from the storage buildings and automotive sales lots, aswell as basically every single business in town that has a parking lot of even the smallest capacity, is absurd.

I'm not a business owner, I dont know the first thing about security, I'm completely clueless when it comes to regulations and rules and statutes in place to keep Lubbock safe during the night while everyone sleeps. But, with the advancements in technology at this point in human history, surely, surely we can do something to reduce the light pollution (as well as what will surely be a strain on electrical grid eventually with all the data centers going up everywhere.)

I know a lot about home security, I know lights can be set to turn on at the first sign of movement, I know night vision/IR cameras aren't like they used to be. You can get incredibly crisp, super high resolution video feed relatively affordably as a regular consumer. The money spent by these companies in town with lights brighter than the sun (looking at you Mears and Scoggin-Dickey) for what I can only assume is for security couldn't be spent on updating their infrastructure 1 time to reduce the cost of their electricity bill and ultimately improve security?

Is it not possible for something to be done? I'm not trying to incite an argument with my words. Frankly, if its not obvious from my post, I'm very ignorant about why things are the way they are and if anything I'd love to learn from this post. Thanks for reading!

Raccoon Breakfast Time -- October 3, 2026

This raccoon was severely injured four to six months ago perhaps by a dog or another raccoon. My cameras saw it in the neighborhood early one morning moving around fine and a few hours later leaving the area unable to use its front right foot at all. This morning the raccoon cleared out the dry cat food dish and slurped some liquid cat food before leaving.

Creatures do their best to survive and adapt . . . just like Rex the cat who was under the table. Rex was born around nine years ago with one of his rear legs shorter than the other. One of Rex's hobbies is chasing foxes out of the yard, but he won't mess with raccoons.
