njvisitor Posted August 28, 2007 Share Posted August 28, 2007 http://abclocal.go.com/ktrk/story?section=...&id=5607573*Includes video(8/27/07 - KTRK/PEARLAND, TX) - Pearland residents are trying to find a solution to their crime concerns after a man and his wife were robbed while getting the mail. People in the Shadow Creek Ranch subdivision met yesterday to get out their frustrations and talk about what can be done to stop crime in the area. Two weeks ago a man and woman stopped at a community mailbox. Three men pulled up, held a gun on them, forced them to the ground, and robbed them. Pearland city Councilman Kevin Cole told residents the city is trying to hire more police officers. "It's a two way street," said Cole. "Neighbors and residents have to do their part and police have to do theirs. The people who were robbed were not hurt. By the way, we notice stepped-up police presence overnight in the Shadow Creek Ranch subdivision. (Copyright Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MidtownCoog Posted August 28, 2007 Share Posted August 28, 2007 Exactly why I miss the old Pearland from the 80s. Every self respecting red neck was armed, shotgun rack in the back, ready for action. Now Pearland is just another burb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brerrabbit Posted August 28, 2007 Share Posted August 28, 2007 They are on the wrong side of Pearland. Me and my rednecks are still around. Oh yeah it helps that in my little subdivision alone we have 15 law enforcement officers. Sheirffs Deputies, Houston Cops, and a Couple of DPS Officers thrown in for good measure.

MidtownCoog Posted August 29, 2007 Share Posted August 29, 2007 I love the old {real} Pearland. I have friends out off Dixie Farm before 35 who live on some pretty big spreads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MidtownCoog Posted August 29, 2007 Share Posted August 29, 2007 Cool. I used to buzz your house out of Clover Field in a Piper Cub. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brerrabbit Posted August 29, 2007 Share Posted August 29, 2007 You and a hundred others. Clover Field is proud to be the orginating airfield for many of the towed banners around Houston. I swear sometimes when they are towing those things into the wind their groundspeed must be about 20 Mph. On the bright side we do get to see a few old warbirds from time to time as a couple of CAF planes are hangered at Clover. I know of at least one replica "Zero" and one replica "Kate" that are there and fly in the Tora, Tora, Tora shows at airshows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
