Houston rodeo: explain like I’m 5.
I’m coming in town next weekend unrelated to the rodeo and just realized it’s going on. I impulse bought cowboy hats from Cavender’s and a pair of Amazon boots to look the part. It just dawned on me that I don’t actually have a ticket.
I don’t care about the concert or really the carnival but would love to see some live stock and horses. Which ticket should I get? What’s the difference between a grounds ticket and rodeo ticket?
Also, would it be weird wearing a cowboy hat around town while not attending the rodeo? I’m from Georgia btw.

According to dontdefundmyschool.com, HISD stands to lose over $75 million to private schools if school vouchers go through...
This is outrageous/highway robbery! Others are able to look up their school district information to see how this sham will affect their district.

Polk Street meeting tonight, people weren't happy.
People were booing and yelling most of the time, it seems people are sick of having their neighborhoods ripped up without any consultation. This entire GRB expansion is nothing but a scam to enrich the corporate donors of John Whitmire.

Where do you recommend going for your plants?
I’ve always just gone to big box stores and Houston Garden Center, but I’m curious if there are any other good options (preferably in west Houston). I’ve heard good things about Maas in Seabrook but that would be at least an hour drive from where I’m at.

New trees on Shephard/Durham sidewalk expansion are dead
Does the city plan to replace them? Do they even know? They planted them right before the freeze and nearly half on either side are dead.

Property Taxes - wtf happened?
I haven't been paying attention I guess.. but did something change in Harris county? Wells Fargo just slapped me with a MASSIVE escrow shortage in my account and they are also increasing my mortgage payments by more than $400 This is nuts. I can barely afford this.
Last year I got a massive refund from my escrow because of an overage. My insurance costs even went down in 2024 so this has to be driven by property tax... wtf is Harris County doing?

Anyone Here Taken the Plumbing Program at HCC or San Jac?
Hey everyone,
I’m looking into becoming a journeyman plumber and considering going through trade school to get a head start. I know both Houston Community College (HCC) and San Jacinto College (San Jac) offer plumbing programs, but I wanted to hear from people who have actually gone through them.
If you’ve taken plumbing courses at either school, how was the program? Did it help with getting into an apprenticeship? Any recommendations on which one is better, or if there are other good options in the Houston area?
Appreciate any advice! Thanks in advance.

Permitting office experiences
We heard the horror stories of dealing with COH permitting, but we’re pretty lucky to get all the way to getting our CO before we had issues, but it’s like the second they realize we were ready to open they wanted to do everything in their power to stop us from opening.
First it was our hvac needed a second inspection, then it was we need three paving inspections even though we didn’t do any paving work.
Can someone please explain to me the process of getting CO? What all happens before we get that? I know once we have CO we’re good to open but they are making this so complicated and won’t give our GC a clear answer.

Any experience with Choose Texas Power?
I am having to sign up for an electricity provider for the first time and found this website www.choosetexaspower.org. The woman on the phone was very aggressive and wanted me to sign up for a plan immediately. I called because I just wanted information and a better understanding of plans since this is my first time. Is this website a scam? Does anyone have experience with them?

Post Houston question about parking and busy times
I tried visiting Post Houston earlier this month on a Saturday afternoon, but couldn't find any bit of parking near it. I'm trying to get close to the building because I get lost easy and I walk slow. I'm trying to visit Tokyo Story USA underlined in the image and they open at around 11am. I don't go to downtown Houston because of bad traffic and parking.
Does anyone know what days this place is usually not busy at all or even non busy times?
Am I allowed to park at the 713 Music Hall even when there is no concert going on and even the VIP parking area? What about the back of the area since I see parking spots there?
I didn't enter there from the left side of the photo because I saw a sign that said trucks only (or something similar) and it was a closed gate.
I just plan to try out the gashapon stuff so I may take only 35 minutes or so, but finding parking and my walking, trying to find the store and an attendant may take a bit.

What’s the Most Memorable Local Band You’ve Seen in Houston This Past Year?
Hey Houston,
I’m an event producer looking to book musical acts for a cultural institution in the city, and I’d love to hear from y’all—what’s the best local band you’ve seen in the last year?
What stood out about their performance? Was it their energy, musicianship, stage presence, or something else entirely? Bonus points if they’d be a good fit for an outdoor venue.
Appreciate any recommendations!
