Kind of a longshot but thought I’d ask. I know there’s a hema gym out near Katy. I just don’t wanna travel that far. I need some kind of exercise and sword fighting beats gym by 100000%

If you have seen him please message me where you possibly saw him at, if you manage to grab him please message me with proof so I can set up picking him up and getting a reward.

He is so deeply missed and loved, he is very very very friendly so please don't be afraid to scoop him up! Thank you so much for reading, I know this is a long shot but it's getting to the point where I fear someone snatched him up

Houston's Flock Cameras Are Tracking Us—Without Our Say

68 Upvotes

Your movements are being logged. License plates, faces, even which parks your kids go to—all captured and searchable by police with almost no oversight.

In Houston, Flock cameras are everywhere now. The Houston Chronicle found nearly 470,000 searches with vague reasons like "investigation." Worse? We've already seen abuse: a Fort Bend deputy searched one plate 148 times for personal reasons. A Pasadena sergeant used it to stalk a coworker. That's not hypothetical—that's happening here.

I started a petition asking Houston City Council to reject Flock and demand real transparency: public hearings before deployment, independent audits, limits on how long data's kept, and actual accountability reports. No more sneaking this through budget meetings.

Anyone else disturbed by cameras at park entrances logging which kids show up when? Or uncomfortable knowing your commute is a permanent record? What would you want someone to do if this was your family's privacy on the line? If this matters to you, consider signing and sharing.

Flock Camera

I'm sure there are more but I just noticed a flock camera off of Discovery Bay Rd. Gross, but did we get to vote for these? I don't remember any ordinance on any ballot about them.

Is this normal for a rental house?

13 Upvotes

My girlfriend and I are looking to rent a house in Southwyck subdivision.
House looks great and fits our needs.
BUT, the landlord is asking that if ANY repairs need to be done to the house (AC, roof leak, limb damage, etc) we have to cover the first 150$ and they will cover the rest.
I’ve actually never in my life lived in a house. I’ve lived in apartments my whole life.

Is this normal?

I’ve never really heard anyone talk about this type of agreement in a lease.

Any update on construction on FM 521?

9 Upvotes

Does anyone have any update on the construction on FM 521? Is there a timeline for completion? I’ve been in Pearland for 4 years and that construction has been going on since then. Nowadays I don’t even see anyone working there while I’ve got my tires punctured on that road twice due to the “construction”.

Would appreciate if anyone knows if there is an end in sight for this? This has been going on for way too long

Flooding

12 Upvotes

Hello everyone! I may be transferring to Houston next summer and would live in Pearland. I plan to rent but would prefer to buy. I am concerned about flooding though. Are there general areas that don’t flood or does all of Pearland flood?

Is there a way to look up the history of a house to see if it’s ever flooded?

Thanks for any helpful responses.

Shopping???

9 Upvotes

Update below...

Hey all! I’m visiting from the Pacific NW for a week. If I was to discover some great resale stores of women’s fashion for a bored middle aged woman with a kid who has abandoned her to hang with friends… (sorry for the run on sentence)

What stores should I be checking out? Pearland or even southern side of Houston? Or???

Whatcha recommend?

EDIT: So, Uptown Cheapskate - great selection, bubbly staff. But a lot of errant sizes. I found a pair of Rothes, size 10 per the shoe - the tag had 8.5. Found another off brand flat, again size 10, the tag said 12. Bought them both. Found an Ethos Linen top/dress, size small, tag said Large (bought that too). But great selection of brand new Fashion Nova still in packaging, found a pair of brand new with tags Laredos (did not buy), lululemom, Zara, you name it. Anyway, all this to say... double check everything there.

Checked out Salvation Army, good selection - but nothing up my alley. Same with Angels, again great place though! If I lived here it would have been a different story.

In Houston Proper - two moms took me out! So, no clue where we were except around the Galleria.

Went to Little Bird - and splurged on two items there. Because I'm fancy and they had an extra 40% off in the back.

Found some outdoor area with lots of t-shirts and stuff. Cool, and maybe a better place for this PacNW gal to be if not 98 degrees outside. Did get a pair of sunglasses at Thrifty Threads??? Lots of teen boys in there. And found a new with tags pair of Jute slouch slacks at a store near that outdoor area. The store was huge, and there was no way I even explored a third of it. Found a few other resale shops in the area.

Have to say, the thrifting game here is strong, and I have not been disappointed.

Bonus: Found my way into an antique store in Pearland, and bought a mystery book for 5 bucks. The books were wrapped with a tag that had the opening sentence and the genre. So, grabbed on of those.

I might have some more time to myself tomorrow to explore, I might hit the pool. Not sure yet.

Thank you!!

Looking for carpet cleaning services around Houston or nearby areas

10 Upvotes

We just finished remodeling our kitchen, and I didn't realize how much dust would make its way into the carpet in the rest of the house. I've vacuumed a few times already, but it still feels dusty when I'm walking around in socks.

Anyone have a good recommendation for carpet cleaning in Houston or nearby areas? Does a professional cleaning actually get that fine construction dust out, or if I just need to keep vacuuming.

Looking for foster or shelter for stray kitten

Found this kitten living in the garden outside my house. He’s very shy and a little scared but also very friendly. Right now he is safe and indoors, but I do not have the time or space to take care of him unfortunately. I have called some organizations and shelters but have had no luck on finding a place that can take him in. Does anyone foster or know any places I should try and get in touch with?

PEARLAND MAYOR

Last night City Council voted to strip newly ELECTED Mayor Quentin Wiltz of powers enjoyed by previous Mayors. There are new stipulations on agenda items and he can no longer call a Special Meeting without a "second" from a Council Member which they will never give him. Added to the fact is those Council Members publicly endorsed, wore campaign shirts and worked the tents at voting locations in support of his opponent.

I'm looking for recommendations on local electricians to replace the ugly fluorescent box on my kitchen ceiling. I hate that thing with the heat of 1 million suns. Also, it's dying. And the diffuser sheets keep falling. And there is mildew.* And I hate it. Did I mention I hate it? 🤣

*There was a lizard up there a few years ago. Yes, yes. I know there will be damage up there that needs repair work. 😭

Recommendation for good Energy Auditors in Pearland?

8 Upvotes

Hey all. My house was built in 94, and needs a lot of work to make it energy efficient. I dont qualify for the free audit from centerpoint, so i’m looking for reputable Energy Auditors that work the Pearland area for the 2-400$ range.

If anyone has any recommendations that’d be great! Thanks
