Where in the Hill country fuck is this supposed to be happening again?

I'm still trying to figure out where in Austin Lone Star 9-1-1 took place.

I will not watch this. I hate all of these soap opera type series that are now on. I know there are some good ones but most are garbage and should be on Hallmark.

That being said I will cut Minka some slack because was very nice to my wife and I during season 2 and 3 of FNL when we worked on the show as lowly extras.

By the way she is stunningly beautiful up close in person.

Ransom Canyon is just SE of Lubbock in the Caprock.

I'm fuzzy on Texas geography...since I've only been here my whole life...

But since when is anywhere near Lubbock "Hill country"?

That's the whole point.  The TV series evidently  relocated it.

I got fucking food poisoning from a cookout there - next to the lake, not at the metal spaceship house - and had to spend the next morning at the UMC ER. Your first photo isn't showing for me, so it may well be an after-shot of it after someone finally finished it (or fixed it up). At least, I think I've heard it was finally completed a few years ago.

Edit: Found an article about it. Pretty kick-ass, tbh. https://www.realtor.com/news/unique-homes/steel-house-texas-auction-robert-bruno/

The image they are projecting does not match up with the whole “Southern Plains” thing because a lot of people associate that with Oklahoma and Kansas and grassy plains, and this is rugged and dirty.

My guess is they didn’t want to say “Llano Estacado” either because the fake cowboys who watch this shit would lose their fucking minds, even though that sounds mysterious and interesting to normal people.

About a decade ago, I ate at the table next to Josh Duhamel and Fergie at Winflo on 6th

That’s all I got

Unfortunately for him, his G.I. Joe franchise never properly spun out of the Transformers films like Hasbro wanted, but it looks like they are trying again (maybe).

The place in Austin where the meteor struck and there was a volcanic eruption

Pilot Knob saying not so fast my friends

Holy shit.

Pilot Knob (Austin, Texas) - Wikipedia

Quote

Pilot Knob is the eroded core of an extinct volcano located in Austin, Texas, United States. It is near Austin–Bergstrom International Airport and McKinney Falls State Park

Quote

The second season of the American procedural drama television series 9-1-1: Lone Star featured a scenario where Pilot Knob reactivated, and the characters' attempts at saving lives as a result of the eruption

Now I have to watch this Lone Star Austin 911 show. It sounds so insane it might be funny.

It was of my favorite shows.  It was so insanely bad that it was good.

At this point in the timeline, I'm not ready to rule out an extinct volcano opening up under Austin.

I find that hard to believe.

I fished Buffalo Springs Lake once when I was in law school there. West Texas fishing. Talk about a waste of fucking time

The fishing or law school?

Tech was gracious enough to give me a JD. Unfortunately if Jesus ever went to Lubbock there'd have been plenty of loaves but no fish
