The Heights
Proud, involved homeowners make this one of the few places where you can still see Houston as it was 100 years ago.

METRO Next - 2040 Vision
Many of the same people that supported the election-denying fascist Mealer in her run against Lina also supported John Whitmire. John Whitmire was also key in the 2003 redistricting, and also lack of A/C in prisons. Whether teamed up with Abbott/co or not, he's just not good leadership material: his actions against Houston's progress are exactly what will assist in the goals that Abbott/co have in terms of destroying Houston (and, in turn, other urban areas). And Kim Ogg? She went and sent the investigation case to the very impartial Ken Paxton. Annise Parker backs Kim Ogg, and actually supported state takeover of HISD in 2018. Ed Emmett, to his credit, did lament the actions of Texas republicans after the 2018 sweep, including how it led to lack of rail across Houston area. Unfortunately, he still supported actions that were not in Houston's best interests relative to the surrounding suburbia (see: his comments regarding the 2023 Prop B). It's plainly obvious what is going on. You and @samagon have to be asleep to be missing it (either that, or just bad faith actors). -

Shepherd Dr. And Durham Dr. Reconstruction
Went in with an open mind, still disagree with his comments/viewpoint. I'm not a business owner, so if a lot of the business owners are concerned with losing parking that is valid if it impacts their business after the construction clears. Even if the second phase is paused to see how the first phase performs for 6-12 months, wouldn't that be better than a total redesign before prematurely judging the project's potential success? That said it's not like shepherd/durham will be inaccessible going from 4 lanes to 3. If it reroutes some drivers to take 610 around to I-10 or stay on I-45 and not speed through the Heights, why is that wrong? This is truly one area where wider sidewalks and bike lanes are justified as its a neighborhood yearning for more walkability. Whitmire saying its common sense to keep it 4 lanes, is not common sense to me. I guess we'll see what his sidewalk program looks like, but I really believe its backwards thinking to suggest that even if we lose federal funding, he'll still move forward so it's done right. How it's being done now, is being done right. But again, this is just my personal opinion. I'm sure I speak for many on this forum, that not everyone believes car mobility is the top concern, especially for residents in the Heights which is the area in discussion.- 1

George Hermann Building/Bering-Cortes Hardware Co. At 606-608 Preston St.
In 1909, George H. Hermann built a 3-story brick building. The Bering-Cortes Hardware Co. occupied part of the building. Later burned down and rebuilt exactly the same way with the same tenants and address. Here's the George Hermann building under construction in 1909. Advertisement specifying the new Hermann building and location on Preston. Advertisement specifying the exact address, 606-608 Preston Ave.- george hermann
