Maybe it's just as I walk the dog and look out the neighborhood it appears we are sitting at the gates of hell. Feels off to me.

Had a nice campfire smell in the car as I drove down Katy Freeway this morning.

I work at the Guthrie Center and live in Spring Shadows - the wind is blowing the smoke this direction today. Up until now we've been pretty clear skies.

Apparently there is a town hall about it tonight at the VFW hall in the area.

Seems like a lot of drama for a burn pile. Like people on the SB facebook groups are flipping out. It's a brush pile burning - I do this on purpose .... it's a more effective way to get rid of it than disposing of it elsewhere. I always sorta assumed someone figured it would be cheaper to pay the fine to burn it vs trucking it away

I don't believe you light burn piles in the middle of residential neighborhoods like this fire.

I live about two miles away and would rate the situation a nuisance. Maybe some people nearer and further are making a bigger drama of it. I maintain having days of nuisance imposed on you by someone's negligence or misconduct is bull *****

I'll say this much. It usually smells pretty strongly of sewage on Hammerly and the smoke is a nice change

I mean, it's not unusual to see small burn piles going on out behind the Pine Curtain. But in an urban residential neighborhood where the smoke is sitting over the neighborhood, it's pretty eye-catching. Understandable for neighbors to have questions.

You're not wrong I'm just being snarky. I spent all week hearing my coworkers act like the sky is falling. Their response to what's happening isn't measured. They don't even live here they drive in from Tomball. Living earth catches on fire at least once a year.

Except I imagine they were planning on selling it.

If they were just trucking it off to dispose of why mulch it?

They would love driving through parts of South Louisiana when the sugar cane fields are being burned (which I guess would be sometime next month if they want to plan a trip). Wood smells much better.

In two of my last three trips to the Bunker Hill HEB, I've seen:

- A homeless guy camping out in the birthday card aisle
- Two Hispanic dudes get busted for an extremely obvious attempt to shoplift a cart full of meat and beer

Haven't heard of it until now. We'll definitely have to check this out.

We did check out both the sushi and speakeasy bar at Hando on NYE. Highly recommend both.

It's a pretty nice place with some pretty good cocktails.

We've met the owner a couple of times and she's really nice.

At times the clientele is very overwhelmingly a demographic that typically doesn't tip.

Some kind of ground breaking going on at the big vacant lot at Gessner and Clay adjacent to the Meritage subdivision.

Bunch of suits with shovels standing around shaking hands.

Anyone know what that's all about? I know rumors of HEB possibly moving from the Kempwood location were swirling at one point.

First I've seen of that.

But no that looks to be going on the north side of Clay where all those stereo and tires shops are now.

What I saw was happening in the big huge vacant field that's the western portion of the new subdivision.

Think that's the new Burger Joint and Taco Stand going in.

At least that's what was it was supposed to be a couple years ago.

Pure speculation, but it is using the same shade of blue on exterior as the adjacent goodwill…
