Building "Bridges" Across the Bayou City!
I’m willing to drive anywhere in the Greater Houston area. I’d prefer it be something outdoorsy but doesn’t have to be. Some the that meets monthly or more often is best. I’m a mid thirties 9-5’er man with a small family but lots of freedom in my sched…

Read MoreI’m switching my family’s banking away from Wells Fargo for dozens of reasons. I have another account at a credit union (first community) but they’ve also gotten shittier and more corporate over the last few years. I have heard good things about Frost….

I grew up on the West side, so always assumed it was universally acknowledged to be the part of Westheimer I’m familiar with, but I have some friends over and they all had different answers, like parts of 1960, Cavalcade, Telephone etc. submitte…
Read MoreI know Houston gets a lot of fame (or notoriety) about the lack of zoning, but do you know of any neighborhoods where there are actually houses right next to businesses? Or bonus points if there are businesses (like retail stores or restaurants) in old…

I’ll be living in the Westchase area in a brick 3br/2ba with a small yard. Anything in particular I should look out for? Any advice? Also, our of curiosity, does anyone have any experience putting solar panels on their roof?

A birthday is coming up next week. We’re not getting together but this person is a very accomplished cook who likes truffles, fine wine etc and lives in the Champions area. Something I could order for delivery or digitally would be best. Thanks!
