The 25-cent-per-bug offer comes from the Houston Museum of Natural Science. The center is trying to secure 1,000 live cockroaches for an updated insect display. Curator Nancy Greig says cockroaches are as clean as the area in which they live, and catching them is a great activity for kids. People wanting to get sell the usually unwanted creatures can do so starting next Tuesday. After the museum has purchased 1,000 cockroaches, anyone else offering the insects will get a pass to use after the Brown Hall of Entomology opens May 25th.

Thanks Jeebus and Bruce for the detailed information about the neighborhood. My spouse and I want to move to Houston and are trying to learn about various neighborhoods from people familiar with them. We've seen houses we like in 77071 and 77096 and when I visited in January, I looked at some houses in Glenbrook Valley. We'll be visiting for several days in June and I'm trying to determine out which neighborhoods we should concentrate on while we're in Houston. We don't have any children, so we're not worried about the quality of the schools. We'd be moving from the SF Bay Area and our housing budget is between 380,000 - 400,000. We're Black, which I mention only because Bruce commented that some of his Black neighbors had experienced problems when they first moved to the neighborhood. The ideal situation would be to have a place in Houston and another near the water (Galveston, Corpus, Aransas Bay, South Padre Island?) The price of the house at the address listed was 185,000 which made me think we might be able to buy a place in Houston and another at the beach. We're open to suggestions for both the Houston neighborhood and beach property. So if you (or anyone else) have any suggestions, please send them along. Thanks again.

Does anyone know anything about the area of town where this address is located 8127 Braesview Lane, Houston 77071? I'd appreciate hearing anything about the neighborhood positive, negative, including individual opinions. Thanks in advance for your feedback.

$100 tag? what does that mean?

Is this house empty? for sale?

This is a great site. Until I found it, I knew nothing about mod houses, but by reading it, I'm learning a lot about mod houses and am seriously considering purchasing one. I found the following house on zip realty and want to know if it is a mod house, where in Houston it is located. I think this house is wonderful although compared to the prices of other mod houses, this one seems expensive 449,500. I'd love to hear what some of you mod enthusiasts think about this house.
