Oh looks like they finally put steel in the way now. I rode past those barricades just a few weeks ago and it was still fully open. Guess that means avoid this area for the next year or so... -

Hollywood Cemetery At 3506 North Main St.
Historic Hollywood Cemetery is undergoing a 2-year restoration, including a new mosoleum. New Floral and Park Regulations have been adopted and will be enforced, eliminating much of the existing clutter on existing gravesites (i.e., flags, balloons, pinwheels, fences, etc.) This is a welcomed turn of events! From TSHA... HISTORIC HOLLYWOOD CEMETERY. Historic Hollywood Cemetery in Houston was founded in 1895 when Confederate veterans and brothers Samuel B. Moore and William James Moore made a series of land purchases that totaled approximately fifty-five acres. Their enterprise first appeared under the name of Hollywood Cemetery Co. in the 1895–1896 Houston City Directory. The cemetery’s name came from the Hollywood family—the family was admired by the founders and was later buried there. The original entrance crossed a single-lane bridge over Little White Oak Bayou near the intersection of Cottage and Trimble streets, through the Strangers Rest section for burial of anonymous (and often indigent) deceased. Baby’s Rest sections accommodated victims of high infant mortality rates experienced before 1900. One original brick road remains, to avoid damaging the underlying roots of large old trees. Some notable burials include Houston librarian Julia Ideson; Japanese naval officer Shinpei Mykawa, who helped introduce rice agriculture in the Houston area; Lawrence Shipley, Sr., founder of Shipley Donuts; suffragist and pioneering attorney Hortense Ward, the first woman to register to vote in Harris County; Andrew George Simmons, inventor of the ice cream cone; and Confederate spy Mollie Bailey, the “Circus Queen of the Southwest.” Other notable burials include Sarah Jane Gillis (1826–1938), who, before her death at age 111, recounted her story of the Texas Revolution and how she (at nine years old) hid in the woods and watched Gen. Santa Anna’s troops burn her home along with the rest of Harrisburg as he marched to fight Sam Houston at the battle of San Jacinto. With no money available for a headstone, she is buried in an unmarked grave between the Avey and Archer plots. Blacksmith Fritz Hahn (1875–1935), cofounder of Gulf Coast industrial equipment supplier Hahn and Clay, is also buried in Historic Hollywood Cemetery. His chromed anvil serves as his headstone and is topped with miniature tongs and a hammer. -

Houston Submits Bid for 2026 World Baseball Classic
Q&A: Janis Burke, Harris County-Houston Sports Authority CEO, talks World Cup, NHL, Houston impact | Community Impact "Is there any update from Major League Baseball on the city's bid for the World Baseball Classic in 2026? We haven’t, but I feel good about it, because I always feel good about every bid. I think we will probably hear back before the end of [April]. That’s what we’ve been told. I heard in Miami, the city hit over 425,000 attendees to the World Baseball Classic. Can you imagine that in the spring, and then the World Cup in the summer? It’ll be our international year for sure."- 2
