I've never seen this many fireflies! They may still be there. Sorry for the poor quality video. https://imgur.com/a/8I7Lqta

There is a small "Urban Forest" with paths near the Bill Coats Bridge. The forest is between Brays bayou and Almeda. Be careful the paths are very slippery with algae when it is wet!

It was an amazing feeling with fireflies around you 360 degrees.

I panned and you can see MacGregor in the shot. You can see the difference between headlights blinking.

They could also be seen in the meadow along Brays Bayou.

Where can I find old issues of Public News? https://houstonnewmedia.org/where-can-i-find-old-issues-of-public-news/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=where-can-i-find-old-issues-of-public-news Thu, 28 Apr 2022 16:15:41 +0000 http://houstonnewmedia.org/?guid=4c72baa4c0c18cb7751855ae918cd287

I'm looking for ones from the 90s. I've seen some copies on eBay, but they want a lot for them due to their cover story ($30 for one with Bill Hicks). I've checked Half Price Books in the past with no luck. Any other ideas?

Is it just me or is Houston much windier than it used to be? https://houstonnewmedia.org/is-it-just-me-or-is-houston-much-windier-than-it-used-to-be/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=is-it-just-me-or-is-houston-much-windier-than-it-used-to-be Sun, 10 Apr 2022 17:31:43 +0000 http://houstonnewmedia.org/?guid=8fb902c2c35398724dc9f6b86228bfea

Serious question. I've been here since the 70s and I've really noticed a lot more wind in the past 10 or 15 years (excluding tropical storms).

Since air moves like water maybe just as we have more flooding we have more wind. Maybe construction and growth have altered wind patterns in the city. Or maybe I'm just outside more!
