Sound like someone is afraid of the free market? And here I am thinking that we are capitalist society.

No, but exposing property owners social media posts allows people to choose where to spend their money. Lots of folks prefer not to spend money with businesses that post political beliefs the customer disagrees with. Other HAIFers might be drawn to the business due to the posts. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve never understood why business owners are so eager to put their political beliefs out there and risk alienating potential customers. Unless you own something with an inherently-partisan customer base like a shooting range or something, what would you gain? 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless you own something with an inherently-partisan customer base like a shooting range or something, what would you gain? Even worse, I've never understood why business professionals on a professional networking site are so eager to put their political beliefs out there and risk alienating potential employers, but judging from casual perusals of LinkedIn recently, there's apparently no shortage of people who are completely fine with doing so, and in quite crude terms to boot. BTW, shooting ranges (at least the better-run ones) aren't necessarily as inherently partisan as you might think if you rarely frequent them. Check out r/liberalgunowners over on Reddit for a refreshing antidote to the commonly-held stereotype of the troglodyte range-dweller. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s fair, my past experience with gun ranges has typically been outdoor ranges situated in the suburbs (or even further out), and as you can probably guess those are primarily frequented by people from the area who fall much more to the right side of the political spectrum.

samagon Posted December 8, 2020 Share Posted December 8, 2020 certainly, looking at the presidential election results, county by county, you can pinpoint urban counties and rural counties just from being red or blue. so yeah, the gun range (for example) near the galleria will probably have more blueish customers, while a gun range out in Navasota will probably have some red customers. it's only natural.

I'm Not a Robot Posted December 8, 2020 Share Posted December 8, 2020 Regardless of whether or not they should share their views online, I'm extremely disappointed that they aren't offering take out options on their website. Open table claims they do take out so it's possible they take orders by phone, but I'm not in a hurry to eat out at this point but would be more willing to order take out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thedistrict84 Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 They managed to use the controversial "HTX" in their handle AND got the name of the neighborhood very wrong (this is not and should never be EaDo, that's on the other side of the tracks).

JBTX Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 You know, I grew up in Austin, but have no idea how they came up with ATX. I always assumed it was an amalgamation of "Austin" and "Texas" shorthand to make it sound cool, and that's it. I guess "Austin" itself doesn't really sound cool, so they made it shorter a la NYC, LA, CDMX, DFW, etc. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

77011transplant Posted May 8, 2021 Share Posted May 8, 2021 Teaspresso, a boba tea shop, broke ground a few days ago (https://www.instagram.com/teapressobarhtxeado/). This will be their second location (first location is in the Heights). Looks like they're slated to open this summer. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
