Historic Houston
Places that have survived the city's "progress" and those that are only memories. Plus places that go bump in the night.

Buffalo Bayou Master Plan
Also in the Buffalo Bayou Partnership email was a link to a short film by artist Ezra Wube. HomeBayou As part of our participation in the High Line Network, BBP brought artist Ezra Wube to Houston to collaborate with Buffalo Bayou East community members on the creation of a new film about their neighborhoods. The Ethiopian-born, New York-based Wube specializes in stop-motion animation and worked with participants to make a visual and auditory map of Buffalo Bayou East using media, materials, personal objects, and words. The resulting film, HomeBayou, is a joyful portrait of a place and culture, capturing the essence of the landscape and the stories of the people. -

Buffalo Bayou Master Plan
From their email....... Turkey Bend: An East End Cultural Hub Perhaps the most unique site in Buffalo Bayou East, Turkey Bend is a former barge terminal with an expansive waterfront wharf located at the confluence of Buffalo Bayou and Navigation Boulevard in the Greater East End. As of this spring, construction has officially begun on the first phase of this site, a 50,000-square foot warehouse at street level. Contributing to BBP’s vision for this site to be a cultural hub, the Houston Public Library Hispanic History Research Center will be housed here, as well as an open-air plaza with dramatic views of the bayou. A unique art tunnel featuring preserved graffiti will connect the warehouse to the waterfront. Future phases will include the transformation of the historic wharf into a vibrant gathering space for boating, events, and performances. Bridging the Bayou, Connecting to Community One of the most gratifying aspects of working in Buffalo Bayou East is talking with community members who have personal connections to the places BBP is working to improve. Japhet Creek is a historic tributary reaching deep into the Fifth Ward that will become a portal to Buffalo Bayou and beyond. While initial improvements to Japhet Creek Park including native plantings, trails, lighting, and an entry plaza are already underway, the next phase will be truly transformational, with a new trail following along the creek and a bayou-crossing pedestrian bridge linking to the south bank. n March, BBP and project teams held multiple community meetings to ask Japhet Creek neighbors, Fifth Ward residents, and members of the broader Buffalo Bayou East area to provide input on what matters to them. We are so grateful to those who took the time to join in these conversations. Contact us if you are interested in participating in any of our upcoming convenings. Another way to get involved at Japhet Creek and other Buffalo Bayou East projects is to volunteer. As construction on the initial phase of Japhet Creek Park nears completion, it has been blooming with wildflowers and greenery. To ensure the park and nearby tributary continue to thrive, over the past few months we have hosted several volunteer groups to help clear debris, remove invasive species, and establish a beautiful, sustainable, and clean public space. Stay tuned for news on the official opening of Japhet Creek Park in early fall. https://buffalobayou.org/volunteer/- 1
