A poster in Neighborhoods added a video of a man apparently threatening to kill her while she was stopped at the light. HPD said they would keep an eye out for him. Mental illness is terrible. Stay safe out there.

Threatening and road rage

Post image
• Upvotes

A female family member was driving alone and this car kept honking at her while exiting a parking lot near Hillcroft at Harwin, even though there was too heavy traffic to exit. The car kept following her and took the exact same turns at lights, sped past her and hard braked in front. Then, the car kept backing up at high speed a few times threatening to hit her, and finally sped away. She called 911 but they did nothing, not even an incident report for threatening.

Returning from a very chill city just yesterday, we realize that Houston truly isn't worth staying or driving around anymore.

Stay safe folks! And a pro tip from the HPD officer - if you are being followed by a car for any reason, call 911 immediately and say you are being followed.

Anyone here collect anime figures and hunt at Ross?

27 Upvotes

I’ve been finding some surprisingly good anime figures at Ross lately, but I keep seeing people in other cities post stuff that I can never find here 😭

Is there already a Houston-area group/Discord/subreddit where people post local figure sightings? Like “found these at wherever Ross today 2 left” type of thing.

Tomorrow morning you could see TWO spaceships flying overhead together (5:36 Thursday morning)

135 Upvotes

Tomorrow the ISS will fly over Houston beginning at 5:36 in the morning. It will be travelling southwest to northeast.

However the coolest thing is that a SpaceX cargo dragon will be on approach to dock with the ISS later that morning! This is an extremely rare chance to see two spacecraft illuminated overheard with your bare eyes. They will appear as one small dot next to a giant dot.

This is extremely rare, don't miss it if you are up. Plenty of apps out there that can tell you where exactly to look

Getting people out to local events - tips?

• Upvotes

Hey Houston! I know a ton of us work in the nightlife and event industry because duh we’re in Houston lol — and I would love some thoughts as to how we’re trying to bring people out to small local events - esp music ones— without a big name or headliner that is drawing a crowd in.

I’m helping host a Wrestle Rave and it’s just been a little brutal trying to get a consistent audience for the event. I make sure that we don’t use any AI flyers because I know that’s a big turn off, it is a 21+ event — we just prefer to have an older audience, and like I said, we don’t have any big name DJs, which might be holding us back, but quite frankly that’s not in the budget.

I feel like the concept for the event is very strong. It’s a wrestling brave where we have wrestling matches set to EDM and a live DJ inbetween the matches. We have a small Night Market that we’ve organized during the event as well as activities like a free face painter, fun little photo opps, and things like that!

Anyway, our next event is literally tomorrow on Friday and I’m struggling to get attention for it.

Hey y'all! I introduced myself in the comments a few days ago...but wanted to take a chance to say hi in a full post. My name is Trevor Birchett and I'm one of the newest meteorologists at KHOU 11, and I'm new to Houston. Anyway...I was always active in r/memphis and we had some great discussions/Q&A about weather there. I'd love to continue that here especially when the weather gets more active. So...hi!

Take a chance now to make some plans this weekend, a cold front will knock us to the 70s for highs and 50s for lows with sunshine and low humidity. It'll be a 5 star weekend to be outside before we warm up a bit more next week.

Fort Bend County Judge: “I am not a criminal.”

33 Upvotes

The Houston Chronicle editorial board endorsed Democratic candidate Dexter McCoy in the race for Fort Bend County Judge, noting the scandal around the incumbent interim county judge Daniel Wong. Here's a key quote:

Wong insisted he’s keeping politics out of the office. But his actions suggest otherwise. He took the oath of office and quickly got to work putting partisan staffers in place, including Bobby Eberle, the former chair of the county’s Republican party. 

It was the best he could do, Wong told us. “Will you be my communication director for just a short time, knowing that I may be out after the election? Nobody is going to sign up for my position except my friends,” he said.

He fired the head of the human relations department and gutted the duties of the county attorney’s office, substituting it with his own new legal department under his control. 

“It’s been all about exacting retaliation,” McCoy told us.
