That area used to be so quiet and calm years ago. I want to say there was a church across the street and you could here the kids playing basketball until it got dark. I like the name...Bell Heights.

I love food and some of the new restaurants are great. I dont worry about prices especially if its a healthy option, but this is a popsicle. So I have an option to pay more or less for sugar. I think Ill keep that on a lower level. My opinion of course. I could care less how much money you have or what you are worth my friend.

Cool looking house. The porch looks great and its in a good location. If you can put up with the WO weekend traffic, its a wonderful spot. $$$$$

You can ask or read the label.

Didnt say anything about white people. Send the butler to get one

Yeah...this is what I said and meant. I think its crazy that there are places that charge this much for a simple popsicle. And donuts! Donuts cost $3.00 at some of the newer places. $.75 at Shipleys. Lets decorate a donut and see who is crazy enough to buy this.....

So Palletas are selling for $3.50 now? I'll stick to buying from the little old man on the bike....I'm not afraid to speak with him.

Here is a solution: Don't look at the light folks. Close Thread. Growing up in this neighborhood, I always remembered how dim the streets were. I walked home a lot at night. Cant do this now, I might get a picture taken or constable on my butt. I like the LED's so far.

WTH! This post is comical ^^^^. All I see at Gelazzi are families or couples w/kids, etc. Those good folks had an X on their backs before they even opened. Sad to see how some folks can try to ruin other people’s hard work by spreading rumors and lies. White Oak isn’t my cup of tea on the weekends but during the week we like to grab a gelato. P.S. I met the owners when they opened. Very nice folks.

"Donut Guru" LoL. Isn't this down the street from Shipleys?

Someone asked me if and when it is happening this year. I used to go years ago but not anymore. It started out as a small thing but has since grown to several streets in the Woodland Heights. If it is on, I hope everyone drives safely and watches out. Lots of kids with their parents walking around.

There are lots of food places in this area. Probably a good spot for it. I havent been to MytiBurger in years! In the Heights, we had Chuckwagon and Someburger. Someburger is still there with a different owner I think.

I saw this coming. I hope they really do work with the Surfhouse and not just say it for the papers. The owners are very nice folks. I really cant see that place being torn down. Oldest surf shop in Texas.

"Mom, Dad...Can I borrow some money to open a Crossfit gym? I want to help people, change lives, do burpees and Drink Beer!" There are more Crossfit gyms than gas stations in the Heights.

I dont think its location next to those places mattered. I do think that the inconsistency of their food and drinks does. Its a nice small location.

No I don't think so. We tried it twice and were unhappy with it both times. The waiter, who was new, told us that they were looking for a 'certain type' of clientel since they had a new chef. Im sure he wasnt supposed to tell us that. The food did look nice on the plate. Lol I guess we will wait for their next change.

Has Witchcraft closed down? I drove by yesterday and it was closed, lights out. We stopped going when they decided to change their menu.

I didnt get that at all after reading that post. :/ I kind of agree with his/her post. I was here too before it became fashionable. Yeah, there were some shady areas but it wasnt as bad as I've heard. LOL I've heard some stories from newer neighbors and its no wonder why theyre scared to send their kids to local schools. Build more bars and icehouses before worrying about local schools. SMH.

I went to Reagan in the late 80's and it was a good experience and I have friends from there that I still communicate with to this day. There were certain groups of kids that weren’t the nicest or some that didn’t want to go there. Minor gang problems, drinking and drugs with certain groups was certainly a problem. I knew many people and was friendly with everyone. People that I know who live out in the burbs or some of these private schools have the same problems. Maybe no gangs, but definitely 'groups' that hang together. They are kids. I point it all to the home where these kids come from. If you can be involved in your kid’s life and teach them right from wrong, they will be fine wherever. I read sometimes how some of these new folks think about people not in their same 'level' and it saddens me. You should be able to rub elbows with anyone. That usually starts with your parents. IMO

*classism/racism

I went to school at Love around 1980. It wasn't the best school but I was zoned to it. Was a little rough but I learned a lot and moved on to Middle school. Parents taught us to respect everyone and to treat everyone the same. I had some friends that knew no English when they started at Love and learned English as they grew up. I didn't know about classes back then, thanks to my parents. I hear it is an up and coming school. Good luck to them. Welcome to the Heights!

I ate at the El. I never pay attention to others and their opinions on any businesses in the neighborhood. I thought I'd give it a try because it was new and they had a good location and I like Mexican food. There are way too many crappy folks that like to put down businesses behind their keyboards. I tried it and I knew that there were other choices close by that were cheaper and the food was better. Beer was nice and the decor was cool. Fun fact: there was a lowrider bike at the entrance to give it an authentic Latino look. In the early to mid 80's, there used to be kids that would ride these bikes from their home to Stude Park.

You think you see it here? Go on NextDoor, the friendly neighborhood app, and you’ll read how lots of people think. It makes me sad that some people actually think this way. These local schools and teachers need everyone’s help. Do you think they aren’t trying their best to help EVERY child get a good education? I'll tell you this, if you teach your child at home what is right or wrong, they will be fine at any school.

"91% economically disadvantaged, 90% hispanic, and 52% limited English proficiency. I could see why a lot of parents would not want their kids going to that school." SMH.

We should all thank these folks for wanting to preserve such history. I passed by the new condos on Yale and 6th, that had a huge HEIGHTS sign on the corner. That building on Yale isnt anything 'Heights' besides its location.
