Hey Houston!

I’m needing your advice. We recently acquired a house near the galleria and we are in the process of getting it renovated. We noticed that our neighbor’s house is completely flooding the right side walk way to our backyard. There are two things causing this. First, the gutters on top of their house have a very obvious break where water is literally waterfalling into the side of our house ( I have videos of this). Second, they have another gutter that is just emptying into the side of our house (no drain for the water). This causes a huge pool of water to accumulate by our side gate to the point that it is unusable during rain.

We very politely told our neighbor these issues and we were trying to work with them to install drainage that would take care of this problem. After giving us the run around for a couple of days, I had the unfortunate chance to talk to the neighbor’s wife this morning (she wears the pants in the relationship) and she was extremely rude and condescending about my request. She told me the drainage issue was not her problem and she “cannot control where the water falls.” Essentially telling me to go f**K myself. What are my next steps? Perhaps the biggest challenge is that our neighborhood does not have an HOA. Do I need to involve a lawyer, etc? Any help would be greatly appreciated

Halal wok in Hillcroft was our go-to spot for chicken fried rice and chicken wings. We’ve been to countless restaurants and never found a chef that made chicken fried rice as good as the chef at Halal Wok. Does anyone know why this place closed? Are they moving locations?

I’m looking to get back into mid-distance running ( I recently rediscovered my admiration for Steve Prefontaine) and I’m looking for an indoor/outdoor 400-meter track that is open to the public. I am located near the medical center in downtown Houston. Previously, I had heard Lamar High School and Rice University had outdoor tracks that are open to the public. Can anyone confirm if these are still available to the public? Any other recommendations? I’m looking for a track as opposed to running trails

Hey Houston!

I am an indie filmmaker in Houston and I am offering a free viewing of my documentary titled “100 Boats: A Hurricane Harvey Documentary.” Back in 2017, I was extremely lucky to have met and worked with an amazing group of guys that helped rescue over 3,000 stranded residents from their flooded homes during Harvey. I decided to make a documentary highlighting the selfless work that was done by these guys during that terrible time. Let’s make sure these heroes are not forgotten!

You can watch my documentary at the following website: www.100boatsfilm.com

As an indie filmmaker, having funds for your films is everything. I know times are tough for a lot of people but if you are interested in supporting my future projects, please help me by purchasing merchandise from my store! Also, feel free to share my website with your friends/family and on your personal social media accounts. Let’s get this story the attention it deserves! I also hope this documentary can help restore your faith in humanity a bit, especially during these dark times. Thank you for your support, Houston!

Peace & Love,

Syed
