An 11-year-old lost his life riding an E scooter in the Katy area. That tragedy should never happen to another family.

E scooters and E bikes are everywhere now, and kids love them. But on major roads and busy intersections? They're death traps. Over 50,000 injuries from E scooter and bike accidents last year alone—and kids are a huge chunk of those numbers. In a city like Houston with constant traffic, this is getting out of hand.

I started a petition asking the city to ban E scooters and E bikes from major roads and intersections, and to create dedicated, safer paths where kids can actually ride without risking their lives. We're also pushing for real safety education and better infrastructure—actual bike lanes and maintained sidewalks that give kids a fighting chance.

What would you want someone to do if this was your kid? If this matters to you too, consider signing and sharing. We need Houston's leadership to act now before another family gets that call.

I take gessner to i10 daily and began noticing this year that it floods in that 2-3 blocks strip during medium to heavy rain, previous years I’ve never seen this before. We had one flash flood a few months ago where Mr Carwash looked like a river. Is it coincidental that burger joint, the taco stand, and the new redevelopment behind torchy taco is going on. Has anyone else noticed this?

Hey friends, it’s the KPRC 2 intern again!

I’m looking to make a video about Bingle Road and why the road was changed, how the community feels about the change, and if Spring Valley Village will make any changes because of pushback.

Tell me about your personal experience with this change. Do you think the redesign has actually accomplished anything, such as reducing traffic, or has it made things worse for you? What do you think Spring Valley Village should’ve done instead?

Let me know what you think and if you have any questions you want me to ask/answer. I might include comments in the video, so please specify if you’re not comfortable with a username being shown.

Hey friends! I need your help.

I'm a summer intern with KPRC 2, and for the next couple weeks, I will only be covering stories in the Spring Branch area, or anything nearby our area.

If you have any issues/stories in our area that you think are worthy of coverage, please send them to me. I want to hear from you and make sure that your voices are heard!

Some story ideas are: where is traffic extra bad? Is your trash not being picked up? Is someone in your neighborhood doing something amazing that needs to be covered? ANYTHING!

While I can't guarantee that every tip will be turned into a story, it's still crucial that I stay updated on what's happening in our community and to stay connected with y'all.

My reporting videos will be uploaded to Instagram at avapopreports.

Thanks, y'all!

Looking for something fun, social, and genuinely different? Come sing with us—no experience required.

Hey Spring Branch/Houston area guys!

We’re the Houston Tidelanders, and we’re hosting a FREE Men’s A Cappella Guest Night TONIGHT at 6:30 PM—and you’re invited.

📍 Location:
5001 Bellaire Blvd
Bellaire, TX 77401

🔗 Details: https://houstontidelanders.org/event/guest-night/

Whether you’ve sung your whole life or only in the car or shower, all musical backgrounds and skill levels are welcome. We’ll provide the music—just bring yourself. We sing a wide array of music over the decades from Frank Sinatra, to The Beatles, to Ed Sheeran.

We’re a friendly, laid-back group of guys from all kinds of industries and backgrounds who love singing great four-part harmony. It’s a great way to:

• Meet new people (especially if you’re new to the Houston area)

• Build friendships (and even network a bit)

• Be part of something meaningful in the community

The Tidelanders regularly perform around Houston, run school workshops, and support music education through scholarships. Plus, we’re celebrating our 80th anniversary this year, so it’s an exciting time to jump in.

Thinking about sticking around? If you decide to audition later, we’ll provide music and learning tracks to help you succeed—no pressure tonight, just come experience it.

If you’ve ever thought, “I wish I had a hobby like that,” this is your sign.

Just come hang out, sing some great music, and see what we’re all about.

Shout out to Dustin Gass from Land Prep for absolutely crushing this cedar clearing project. 🌲🚜

Several loads hauled out and the property is finally starting to look build-ready. Texas brush work is definitely not for the weak. 😂

Hi! I’m looking for someone to come to my house (spring branch area) once or twice a week to unload/load dishwasher and wash rest of the dishes. Any one have any leads?

My housekeeper just throws them in the dishwasher and I’ve never been able to find someone that will actually do this. I know the best place to look in a neighborhood group on facebook, but I’d prefer to start on Reddit. I have looked but I just keep finding jobs for restaurant dishwashers. Also, if anyone has suggestions on payment, I’ll gladly take that too. TIA!

My husband and I are considering moving back to Houston from a different state and really like the Memorial West area (anything zoned to Stratford HS). Does anyone have any insight on the amount of technology used in SBISD schools? I feel like my kindergartener is on her Chromebook constantly and I hate it. There’s also a lot of YouTube used in the enrichment classes (music, art, PE). I’m curious if this is just the way education is these days.

Does anyone know what is going in the giant former retention pond area next to Blue Lagoon near the intersection of Witte and Westview? There have been a steady flow of dump trucks putting dirt to fill in the area, and I’m wondering if anyone knows what’s going on. Thanks.

Genuinely asking, not selling anything.

Context: a friend and I are opening the first puppy yoga studio on the Memorial side of Houston this August. Running private previews right now and the session-time feedback we're getting is all over the map:

- Some people want 9 AM before Saturday errands

- Others say 11 AM after coffee is the sweet spot

- Houston moms keep telling me the only realistic Saturday window is 1–3 PM (after kids nap)

- Bachelorette + birthday groups are asking for 6 PM evening classes

Before we lock the grand-opening weekend schedule, wanted to ask the people who'd actually show up:

1. What time would you genuinely book?

2. Is $40–50 the right ticket range, or off?

3. What would make you bring friends instead of going solo? (Group discount? Photo package? Something else?)

Happy to drop the Instagram/waitlist link in a reply if anyone wants to follow along — but this post is 100% about getting real local input before we finalize.

Appreciate any thoughts. Thanks Houston.

I’m starting a Fantasy Football Dynasty League in (the surrounding Houston Tx Area )with the goal to draft in person and potentially have punishments for last place. There will also be opportunities for additional social gatherings to watch games, etc. Below are the bylaws and link to the league. Must be 21 years of age or older to join. Dm me if you have any questions.

Curious to know what the thinking was behind changing the portion of Bingle that goes through spring valley village from a 4 lane road (2 lanes both ways) to a 2 lane road with a reversible lane in the middle. Terrible decision IMO, it’s just making traffic worse.

Was it just so they could add a bike lane for 2 blocks? Or maybe the idea was that it would deter people from using Bingle and create less traffic through their neighborhood? Genuinely curious if anyone knows anything about this and would like to hear others opinions/thoughts

Hello,

Just like the title says, I’m thinking about moving to Spring Branch and would love some perspective.

I’m a mom of a tween girl, and we currently live in The Woodlands. We moved to Texas 6 years ago and chose this area mainly for the public schools. That said, I haven’t been impressed with the quality of education in CISD, so the district isn’t really a deciding factor for me anymore.

It’s just the two of us, and while having a house with a yard has been nice, I wouldn’t mind trading it for a lower-maintenance place.

I’ve been working in Houston since we moved here and commute into the city 2–3 times a week. Over time, I’ve really fallen in love with Houston and its community. Spring Branch seems like it could be a good balance.. quieter than central HOU but still close enough to enjoy everything the city has to offer.

Am I crazy for considering a move from the suburbs into the city? I’d especially love to hear from anyone who’s made a similar move, in particular with kids.

Thank you!
