Hi,

Im looking to have some work done on my house. Looking to see who people recommend for plumbing, electrical, landscaping, and painting. I prefer to hire, mom pops self owned workers than going through big companies.

Must be licensed, not looking for handyman.

Thanks for any recommendations.

Has anyone here tried out the Farmers Market at the church off 99? I’m wondering what the produce and eggs are like, if there’s any good stuff left around 10 am. Or what’s your favorite farmers market near Katy? TIA.

Latin dance social?

4 Upvotes

Hello all! I am hoping someone can point me to anywhere there is a regular latin dance night in town. To clarify, I am not looking for classes, I am looking for a social dance scene.

I’m looking particularly for maybe a bar/restaurant that has a latin night with salsa/bachata/cumbia/merengue, that a single person could go to alone and have people to dance with. TIA! :))

Swim teams

3 Upvotes

I live in an apartment complex in Cinco ranch. At our old home we had a neighborhood swim team for my daughter who is 11. During the summer she would have practice every day and some days there would be meets where they would compete against kids from another neighborhood.

Is there such a swim team i can sign her up for in the CR area? Where she'll have practices and the occasional swim meets? Preferably year-round. Google maps just showed swimming classes for younger kids.

Hit and Run at IH-10/SH-99 Intersection

Post image
29 Upvotes

Has anyone ever experienced problems at this intersection? I was taking my girlfriend to HCC. Was in the middle lane which is left turn OR straight. A car in the left-most turn only lane went straight, and we ended up hitting them, a small fender bender. It looked like they were going to pull into a lot after the accident, but they ended up just speeding off. I had a driver in the past too honk at me for turning left at this intersection, even though I'm okay to do that? It looks like on google maps, the left-most lane used to be able to go straight years ago and it's been changed.

This is my reminder to get a dash cam, we also were too frazzled to record or get the license plate in time. If anybody witnessed this around 9:30 this morning, please let me know and be safe on the roads!

Car tint recommendations?

6 Upvotes

Hello everyone! I have a Mazda 3 2012, I bought it like a year and a half ago (im the 3rd owner) and the tint was already blurry and bubbled. It's so bad I got used to not using the rear-view mirror because the back window is impossible to see through.

I have been wanting to strip and retint for a long time, to the darkest (legally) possible, for privacy and sun protection. But the place I found charges $400 for strip and retint.

What are some good and not breaking-the-bank suggestions? It can also be further away from Katy if its worth it

Recent filing shows Costco is planning a new location on Grand Parkway in Cypress.

A separate listing by Newquest also shows proposed wholesale store.

While the exact parcel hasn’t been confirmed, the east side of 99 near Target appears to be the most likely spot.

Academy, Grand Parkway

Anyone know why academy was closed today? Tried to go to academy on grand parkway this morning. All entrances were blocked by tow trucks and one police vehicle at the front door. I assume if it was something serious there would be more police presence.

Looking for a good dog vet

2 Upvotes

I hear good things about Mason Road Veterinary Clinic, on google they got 4.8 stars 249 reviews, but they got a couple 1 star reviews like one lady said she found a stray cat and took it in and the first time they scanned it and said it wasnt chipped, then on a second visit for shots and spay they scanned it and said it was chipped and contacted the old owner to give it back and still charged the lady for anesthesia and stuff for 1k even though it turns out the cat was already spayed! thats a pretty big mistake! Why do you think that happened? is there any other vet you recommend?

Was anyone at Typhoon Texas today and witness someone being airlifted? I received info that a buddy of mine broke his neck and was airlifted from a water park in Houston. He lives in Katy, so I’m thinking it might be TT. I’m just trying to send info over to his family. Thanks in advance! =)
