We also like the laid-back, funky nature. One of the houses on the drive down the street has these art installations. I love to drive by and find something new. It's SO quiet and despite some of the recent crime, I still feel safe because my neighbors CARE about each other and lookout. It's almost like living in a 1950's sitcom, only better because it's not so perfect.
My neighbors and I, many of us single women households always gush about how safe we feel regardless of some of the things around us. It is that we all know each other, watch out for each other and we take on the criminal element.

That's the thing... In this map from HoustonHeights.org, the southern boundary is I-10:
But in the Heights' very own bylaws, they say that the boundary for the Heights is such:
"The geographic area shall be bounded North Loop 6910 on the north, North Durham Drive on the west, Washington Avenue on the south, Studewood on the east, and North Main on the northeast."
So which is it?
There are actually 1st, 2nd and 3rd streets but the building of I-10 wiped out most of them.

A friend is one of the founding members of Pup Squad. Lack of disease prevention is exactly why they split from volunteering with BARC. We help sponsor some of their special needs babies.
pup squad rocks!

You mean five foot setback from the front house line? I would definitely check with the city and contact John at john@marjohn.com He is the Sunset Heights Association President and can probably give you some good feedback.

Is there still a Spaghetti Warehouse (or Inn) in business in downtown Houston? What old building does (did) it occupy?
Not too far away there was a steak place that had as its centerpiece a stainless steel Santa Fe lounge or dining car. I think it was called Sonny Look's. Anyone else recall that place?
Timeframe: 1975-1978
Railhead was on Richmond Avenue. There was also a Victoria's Station (not sure where). BOth of those had train cars. Didn't Sonny Look's have a knight on horseback out front? Was there also a Look's Depot? I seem to remember that.

What can you do if you don't live in the city limits of Houston? I live in Katy, but this whole mess just sickens me. I thought there would have to be change after the puppies got washed down the drain and those other dogs died in the heat while the ACO had a leisurely lunch. And now the kennel workers are starving the dogs that they are paid to look after. I just don't understand what it's going to take to change things. Do other large cities have these kind of issues? What do they do differently that Houston just can't seem to do?
Also, do you know if their pictures are up to date on petharbor? There is a walker hound on there who has an intake date of April. Do they keep dogs that long?
We are now seeking beyond local attention and trying to get national spotlight on this. So anything you can do to get national attention. It is still valid for you to call city council and the Mayor. Call your mayor. It's about speaking up and being heard. Contact the mainstream media and ask them why they are not reporting on these horrors. Donate to Noah's Ark Pac or No Kill Houston. Volunteer. Foster. There are many ways you can help. The smallest gesture holds great value.
I will ask someone who goes to BARC regularly to look into the walker hound. If you can post the exact link to that dog would help enormously.
Thanks for caring.

Howdy folks!
I am looking for a rental property in the Heights, Oak forest or Garden Oaks area. I have looked on HAR, craigslist and all the usual places. Thought maybe someone on HAIF would know of a hidden jewel! We have 2 dogs so the place would have to be pet friendly. Thanks folks!
I saw a for lease sign up on E 25th St just west of N. Main. I know nothing about it other than it looks to be the size you are looking for and has a fenced yard. In the Heights, alot of the rental homes don't post anywhere and just rent by signs. Or they post, but not where you happen to be looking. Best to drive or cycle around.

It sounds like in the rush of sights and sounds, the woman wasn't aware of the officer on the horse. No fault of hers. However, the policeman was not aware that the woman was not aware of him. No fault of his.
Accidents happen, particularly in these types of situations. Let it go, folks, there's nothing to see here.

My letters are much different that my tone posted here. Pam Holm is my councilmember.
Contact your district council member, council members at large and the mayor. Banking, do you have facebook? Contact me via facebook as a friend and you will see a lot of activity going on about this with many many members of the rescue community locally and nationally. PM me if you don't have my name. For some reason, my pm is not working.

perhaps cause no one has been able to locate him.
Remember that the doctors in Anna Nicole Smith's case are now under indictment. Remember that this man was with him when he collapsed.
As far as nobody being able to locate him, the LAPD does say he is being cooperative and they have spoken to him by phone. I think I would want to go into hiding if I were him. If he had nothing to do with MJ's death, I would want to lay low until that was made perfectly clear by the media. If he did inappropriately medicate him, I would want to lay low forever. He's a target right now.

Repainting the entire exterior of this bungalow. Looking for some Sherwin Williams color names.
Leaning towards a greyish mossy-green or a greyish blue-green.
The samples we initially bought were way too light... should've known it would look 3 shades lighter on the house than on the tiny sample card! Want to go with the same intensity of color (ie not too dark) as the existing color.
So funny, I was going to post a pic of my house for the same reason.

Of course it's gay. We stole it from New Orleans.
It is somewhat amusing...and perhaps sad...that we try so hard to ignore the fact that it just might be the people that live here that makes it work. Why couldn't it be that the place is full of freaks and artists, musicians, liberals and libertarians? Why can't it be the fact that not only do my neighbors not care that my dogs bark at everyone that walks by, they actually know their names? Why wouldn't I like a neighborhood that doesn't bat an eye when I paint my house yellow, red and blue? Could it be that, unlike many neighborhoods that design the homes to face inward and the garages facing out, the Heights houses face the sidewalk and the garages face the alley? And doesn't that make for a friendlier existence? These designs are no longer practiced in most new homes. Isn't it possible that it makes one feel a little better living where these designs still exist?
Eh, maybe that's not the reason, but it's close enough for me.
Right on Red!

Not that I ever heard. It sounds like we're talking about the same guy. This guy was the drummer for Paul English, and later went on to play with the New Toys.
One of us should be embarrassed for calling him the wrong name. I hope it's not me.

My point exactly, according to those maps it has only dropped one category by Houston. If it were a Category 5 on impact to the coast, it would not drop as fast. Remember there is a lot of storm inland before the eye even crosses land.

And then there is the oak on 8th Street that fell into the house, splitting it in two. You can't predict things like that...except for pine trees. They will snap guaranteed. My 2 year old maples both ended up leaning slightly to the east. I left them that way so that in future years I can point to the curve in their trunks as a reminder of Ike.
Homes built in the City of Houston will generally withstand a big hurricane. They are required to be built to withstand 115 mph winds. Because we are inland, even a huge storm will quickly degenerate to a more manageable level, sparing all but the most cheaply built homes. The problems will be away from the house itself. The aforementioned trees falling on homes and power lines, flooding of low-lying areas (though not as bad as Alison, as hurricanes produce less rain than tropical storms), interruptions in supplies of gas and food, etc. The best preparations for city dwellers, other than putting up the lawn chairs and trimming your trees, is preparing for the aftermath. Non-perishable food and water, a full tank of gas in the car, battery operated lights and radio, and perhaps a generator and a small AC unit to cool one room of the house. Unfortunately, there are not many good portable digital TVs out yet. Hopefully, some good ones will come out in the next year or so.
And remember this, normally it is as high as 100 degrees after a hurricane and terribly terribly still - breezewise. Think the very first night after the hurricane. We were so incredibly lucky to get the cool front that we did, and for it to last as long as it did. We didn't suffer ANYTHING like New Orleans has with Katrina. People died from the heat alone.
I disagree with the downgrading of the storm if it came to Houston. If it is a large storm like Rita was, it would not downgrade but maybe one or at the most two categories, if at all, before hitting Houston. REmember, when Ike came in, it came into Galveston as a Category 2. Think of three categories above that.

Is Washington Ave. In the Heights Or Not
in Houston Real Estate
Posted
1st street is just north of Washington Ave. 1st street is part of the Heights.
I agree with the person who said where Heights ave. ends at Washington is the southern border of the Heights. Everybody south of there...well you're just posers.
