r/Pflugerville

Pflugerville elementary is being cleared of after school activities and will begin asking parents to start picking up very soon.

Need a sprinkler repair company recommendation. I’ve looked on Nextdoor and here and nobody’s recommended anybody in over a year. I prefer to use locally owned small businesses. Really appreciate your help.

Hi there, I always go to this heb and I went in afternoon of 8/18 and it smelled so bad. The entire store smelled like raw rancid ass. I tried to ignore it as I suspected maybe a package of meat leaked everywhere or something of that nature. As I ignored it I kept shopping for my food but as I walked down the aisle to get to the freezer portion of the store it got smellier and stronger to where I lost my appetite. I then walked through a wave of FONK to get to the suhiya area as I wanted to get sushi and a wave of the fish smell swiped my nose. I ultimately had to leave my snacks after this. This is the first time it’s ever smelled that bad. Does anyone know anything about why it smelled horrible? I’m just a bit concerned.

I had a good conversation this morning with representatives from the Pflugerville Police Association (LEAP) about Flock.

They asked to meet, and I was glad to hear directly from the officers who actually use the system. I also wanted to share more of what I’ve been hearing from residents, including concerns about privacy, data sharing, and mission creep behind the very clear ‘just get rid of them’ message Council has received from the public.

I’ve seen the public-safety side firsthand too. During a PfPD ride-along earlier this year, I watched Flock help officers do their jobs in real time. The technology does help take dangerous criminals off the streets, including people who come into Pflugerville after committing crimes elsewhere.

Public safety will sometimes be in tension with concerns about privacy, surveillance, and civil liberties. That’s okay. As elected officials, we have to take both seriously and decide where the right boundaries belong. Conversations like this help. There was more common ground than I expected.

I’ve also long acknowledged that PfPD listens to public concerns and acts on them. They’ve been conducting recurring audits of officers’ Flock usage and requiring a case number and plain-language description for every search for some time now.

I want to make decisions on your behalf that I can stand behind and be confident in. I take that responsibility seriously.

To me, shaping Pflugerville’s future means listening to everyone. Over the last 6+ months, I’ve heard extensively from residents (including y'all here on r/pflugerville), talked with the officers who use the technology, worked through the legal and contract issues with our City Attorney and (new) City Manager, and sought outside perspective from a Pflugerville-based attorney who specializes in AI, data, and cybersecurity.

I want all of those perspectives in front of me when Council votes next Tuesday.

Any vegetarian or healthy spots hidden in Pflugerville?
I know there’s a new Juiceland and Taste of Ethiopia has some options, but it has been hard finding much of anything else that isn’t fast food or a meat-heavy menu. Any suggestions for healthy / vegan / vegetarian spots in town?

Looking for information on the non-incumbents.

Are there any other Hendrickson High School senior parents struggling to get information from the class sponsor about senior activities? Last year, my son was a senior and I was bombarded with emails about senior stuff and there is nothing this year. I only found out about the senior parking space painting after my daughter saw one of her friend's posts on Instagram. Why is this only being communicated through Instagram?!

I'm mostly posting to vent, because when I call the school I'm just told to email. I've emailed to class sponsor, but that only led to a mix up with the parking spaces and now we've spent over $100 on supplies only to arrive to see someone else painting the spot we were told is hers. I only have the one contact email, and they have yet to respond. So our whole Sunday that we set aside for painting is lost.

The Pflugerville Parks Foundation has 2 upcoming events.

Anyone having any plumbers/companies they would recommend for a water softener install? If you’re comfortable I’d also love to hear roughly the cost of the install so I know how much to budget. Thanks

I was initially ready to send my child anywhere except public school for their kinder year in 2027, but I’ve had a change in mind the last year or so after reading various opinions from the community through socials. It’s nice to see the progress made in our district over the past year. I understand how touchy of a subject education has been, but I want to see our community thrive.

What genius decided to name this town?

I hate the name Pflugerville and I genuinely think its a hindrance to the town.

Its uninspired and doesn't take itself seriously.

Some guy's Last Name + Ville

Did someone see Pottersville in It's a Wonderful Life and think that was something to emulate??

That's always what it reminds me of

Just calling it Pfluger would sound more grown up and legitimate.

This rant is inspired by a tiktok I saw talking about the Nexus Project, which made me happy for the town because at least people have a long term vision for it.

I don't understand why someone wanted to kneecap it with that stupid, drab name.

Maybe this is a horribly offensive view, but it's just my honest opinion of the name Pflugerville.

Objectively Round Rock, Georgetown, Cedar Park and Leander are prettier names. Pflugerville is what you name your unloved step child that you keep locked in a garden shed.
