  1. This week I noticed a new Houston airport that I have never seen before. I searched around HAIF and couldn't find a mention of it. Thought I would contribute and add information about a cool, old airport. From the Sanborn map, volume 12, 1946: Located off State Highway 35 / Telephone Road; bounded between Mahan St. and Major Ave. and next to Municipal Airport.
  2. I was reading the newspaper South Belt Leader dated June 26, 1986 and came across an article about Go-Karts. Within the article it mentioned a race track called Triple C Raceway located in Alvin, TX. Anyone know about this? I wonder if there was anyone on HAIF who has raced here in the past? The local transplant adds the experience of racing 50-60 times at Alvin's Triple C Raceway gives him a "home court" advantage over out-of-town contestants.
  3. Developer says Alvin will have a 32-bed hospital by early 2023 Bill Persefield, CE and Founder of Medica Development Company announced during the Alvin-Manvel Area Chamber of Commerce luncheon last week that his company will be building a state of the art hospital in Alvin. The purchase of land, near Steele Road on Bypass 35, is expected to be completed within the next month, with a ground breaking being planned for December or January 2022. In his presentation, Persefield said that the hospital will have 32 in-patient beds, with the ability to grow to a 90 bed facility. A 24-hour emergency department/trauma center will be open year round, 24 hours a day; and there will be 10 emergency department exam beds and four operating rooms. A post-acute care facility, built at a cost of $55 million, is included. In Phase One, there will be diagnostic imaging, a pharmacy, lab, blood bank, a cath lab, and an outpatient diagnostic and treatment center. The overall cost of the hospital will be $133 million when the complex is complete, with $296 million allotted for the total development of all stages. The hospital will have two-stories and cover 88,000 square feet, with 185 parking spaces. The medical offices will be three-stories and have 340 parking spaces. There will likely be 750 jobs created during construction, he said. http://www.alvinsun.net/news/article_a908cf8a-30fd-11ec-9b36-3f5b9b458808.html
  4. The Board of Regents of The University of Texas System has an undivided 1/6 interest in 108.5 acres of flat coastal prairie land for sale in Brazoria and Galveston Counties. The property is located about six miles southeast of Alvin, north of FM 2004 and east of Halls Bayou. It is rectangular in shape and has limited access on unimproved county farm and rice field roads. https://www.utsystem.edu/offices/real-estate/property/halls-bayou-undivided-16-interest-1085-acres
  5. Anyone know about Gordon Street Tavern in Alvin? It's a rural bar, given the area, but the beer selection is amazing. Their tap wall features all craft beer! Last time I went they have Equilibrium, Ghost in The Machine, Prairie sours, Yellow Rose, and Ingenious. Worth a visit if you're ever near, or in Alvin! https://www.gordonstreettavern.com/home
  6. Looks like there are plans in the works for a 3-mile extension of Spur 5 from its existing terminus just south of UH campus. Extension would take it past I-610 down to Bellfort. Project includes 4 direct connectors between I-610 & Spur 5. Work wouldn’t start until 2025. Route won’t be redesignated as SH 35 until future extensions take it past the Beltway. https://www.houstonchronicle.com/news/transportation/article/Long-sought-Alvin-Freeway-could-start-with-Spur-5-13656687.php
  7. The news announcement of this is here. It's not really clear just where this location is at yet, but it might be between the Southern Trails subdivision and Kirby Drive. If this is really the location, I'm not sure what that means for the proposed Ridge Rock subdivision that was supposed to go in there, or for the Lowe's at Kirby Crossing project. If anyone can dig up more about this, please post here.
  8. I thought I remember someone saying that they wanted a mid century church to convert to living space. Obviously it's not exactly in town but it might be an option for someone not commuting into Houston daily. www.har.com/ 9259316
  9. I think Pearland and Alvin ISD should merge. The two districts combined cover almost all of the City of Pearland, as well as Manvel, Alvin, and Iowa Colony. All areas west of 288 in north Brazoria are Alvin ISD while some areas east of 288 are Pearland ISD. The two should combine so Pearland can get a second high school close to Shadow Creek Ranch. Perhaps a new 7-8 school and a new 5-6 school can be established in that area too.
