For Halloween, I'll be going to see the Rocky Horror Picture Show at the Rover Oaks Theater with friends. I have a question for any regulars to these midnight showings: How early do we have to show up for the festivities? Thank y'all!

Sunday night i was driving on 610 east heading south. Saw a couple of cop cars blocking the left lane. As i crept by i looked over and actually saw a full sized horse laying in the left lane. It appeared to be disemboweled. I kid you not. I wish i had not seen it! I can’t imagine how it happened. Anyone else see it or know what happened?

I see a lot of homes on my street that have renters for a year or more and appraisal shows homestead exemption . Don't they send a qualification letter to your home every year ? How do people maintain it and how to report them? As I understand it is not a harmless act and basically shifting tax burden to people doing the right thing . Is it punishable fraud ? Do people not report it to avoid raising their rental prices?

Hi all! I am moving to Houston in 2 weeks, I've been looking at some spots but I ran into one called
The terraces at Brompton and they look a bit too good to be true. Very high recent reviews and then a couple crazy Yelp reviews
Does anyone have some info or insight on how to spot red flags? I'm moving from the NE and I'm not familiar with the market in Texas
Thank you!

I live near Houston (South of Houston near Galveston) and was wondering if any fellow book worms would be interested in a book club? I read any genre but I have my favorites. Willing to try new generes though. We can meet up or we can do a Zoom call or something. Anyone interested?

"Rice Real Estate Company and its partners will relocate two mature live oak trees over the course of several weeks," Sam Dike, director of strategic portfolio initiatives and public engagement for Rice Real Estate Company, told Chron. "The trees will ultimately serve as anchor features for the future Rice Village Gateway Park planned for the corner of Greenbriar and a future Amherst roadway extension."
"We are excited about the role these trees will play in creating a vibrant new green space for the community," Dike added.
The two trees weigh around 500,000 and 750,000 pounds, respectively.
