Royce White might never have suited up for the Houston Rockets, spending most of his rookie season toiling in the D-League with the Rio Grande Valley Vipers and — umm, tweeting, but it appears he has found a way to contribute to the city. Last week, White — who suffers from generalized anxiety disorder — announced that his foundation, Anxious Mind’s, which he started when he was playing college ball at Iowa State, will partner with Bee Busy Wellness Clinic to open a free mental health facility on W. Bellfort. The clinic will also provide dental services and primary care and will open this January inside the Rubik’s Cube-like former Frank Neighborhood Library at 6440 W. Bellfort, shown here, just west of Westbury and Meyerland. White played in only 16 games last season; he was caught up in disputes with Rockets management about travel arrangements — he hates to fly — and team doctors. In July, he was traded to the Philadelphia 76ers.

“Anxious Mind’s”? His apostrophe, or Swamplot’s?
I remember this building from my younger days as a wee hydra. This building used to be a library but I’d imagine it simply became incompatible with the terrible ghetto surrounding it.
It is also being reported this morning that White is under investigation for domestic violence. . .
@Al: It’s his apostrophe.
Allyn: I am sure the Cyclones are very proud of their graduate’s!
I recall one of the reasons the Library moved was that the building had major foundation problems and was also prone to flooding.
