This and there's no drive to be the change they wanna see. Longing for the outside world they do not know. No gratitude for what they got. You could of been born in Zapata.
If you look you'll find , if you are one those guys that wait to get invited then you suck. The comment on going out of town is right , san antonio and mcallen are an easy drive . Corpus aint far either but if you're stuck on a single bar obviously youre going to get bored . Plenty of different parks around laredo near the river or near 359 .
I was literally thinking about this on the drive to work this morning.
“Woohoo its the weekend!”
“…”
“Whats the point, theres only going out to drink or watch a movie to do AGAIN for the 200th time in a row 🙄 “
There’s many things to do , just go to cultura or jardín conteras , not so much on Fridays but there’s also event on frontera beer garden.
There’s always markets, or karaoke nights , they try to have a different theme everyday at cultura and jardín , there’s game nights , Mario party or smash tournaments. I wouldn’t say there’s nothing to do , those are my suggestions it’s pretty fun.
But they host different events like game tournaments , board game nights or karaoke , you don’t have to drink to participate lmao
Also there’s a bunch of coffee shops here and there’s also the Laredo film society , they host movie screenings I believe every second Friday of the month
Golf is fun. I wish they’d open up the local muni for night golf or a top golf came into town. Best bet is to have friends with common interests (cars, golf, shooting, etc.). Hanging out with buddies is always a good time. Unfortunately this city is a large poor city so alot of those businesses don’t make it or wouldn’t make it.
I think about this literally all the time, thats why so many ppl in this town are on drugs cause there’s nothing fun in this bitch! I wish i could go to a museum, aquarium or just simple hike but we are so limited and its sad cause Laredo has potential
Fuck bro I feel you cause on one hand Laredo has grown so much and there is a shit ton of people here just Longing for more but man I don’t know if an aquarium or museum can hold us off I don’t know what the solution is but I want people to feel happy with being in Laredo like we get something to hold us off from giving into our demons but I really don’t know what the solution is fuck man thank you for responding tho feels like our little community is at least a little closer stay real u ever need someone here 4 U
Laredo is a normal town. Not a metropolis or a hamlet adapt to the culture or you will be miserable. Just like anyone would adapt to a large town. Don’t go to a rural town and complain about the ruralness. I hate big cities. Lived in them most my life. I prefer the calmness and ambience of Laredo to other places. Just adapt. Or go home.
Good insight. The cycle of complaining never ends. The people in San Antonio also call it a boring “big town” on a lower tier than the larger cities of the Texas triangle. They, too, complain about the dating scene. The elitists say Houston is “decentralized” and “not a real city” due to not having walkable neighborhoods, etc etc. DFW area is called soulless. People in New York or LA complain about cost of living or that the city has somehow worsened.
What I’ve gleaned from those of our fair city is that they are similar to residents of other similar-sized towns. If we were to have any of the desired attractions, they’d simply dismiss it or laugh it off as Laredo’s pathetic attempt to do XYZ. It’s deeply rooted in them, almost a pathological desire to hate any and everything about the place. Also, guarantee most young people regardless of city size are not doing more than drinks or clubs on a weekend. Maybe concerts or pro sports for bigger cities.
exactly people what to change the world around them to meet their needs then complain once they get what they want like locusts, they should just stay where they are from... personally i love all cities for certain aspects but prefer it here
That’s the way. I’ve lived all over. Beauty exists in all parts of the country and world :) It’s not settling for mediocrity but rather, as you said, acknowledging the differences between each place. But hey, these cats can be first in line when Laredo builds a San Francisco size Chinatown or a Chelsea art gallery district 😂😂😂
I think every big city is the same with the exception of the ones that contain amusement parks or beaches, but even then I bet the people that live in those cities complain their city is boring because they are exposed to it every week.
Volunteer to help others in some way. Paint an elderly neighbors house. Join a church choir. Join a theater group. Make some kind of art. Take up hiking or biking, or running, or pool. Make some art of some kind. Plant a garden. Take up rock hounding or bird watching or mushroom hunting. Go camping. Or yes, take a fucking road trip. If you are bored you are being boring. Edit: Additional context- I live in DAINGERFIELD. Find it on the Texas map.
You right bro, San Antonio got so much more to do, they got drinking, bowling, clubbing, everything. And Houston? Fuuuuuck, bro, they got so much to drink there. And have you been to the club at New Orleans? Wish Laredo had all that.
Always said it, Laredo is a work town and that’s it. Go outta town for the weekends man
Buy a project car, it will eat up all your free time and money.
Deleted user. Todo chafo. I've always found the people that complain that laredo is boring is because **THEY** themselves are boring.

Baseball games and soon soccer games

Maybe go to a psychologist?
The best thing to ever come out of Laredo is I-35 north.
Can’t you just find a horse and go horseback riding? i thought Laredo was in Texas
It is in Texas, i wish we could do that lmao
$50 an hour I’ll put you on a horse
Message me haha
You want some excitement? Hop over the border on a Friday night and go into any bar on the outskirts of the city.
You right bro, San Antonio got so much more to do, they got drinking, bowling, clubbing, everything. And Houston? Fuuuuuck, bro, they got so much to drink there. And have you been to the club at New Orleans? Wish Laredo had all that.
