I live in this area and we lost our power (and a bunch of tree limbs). I was surprised to learn, however, that many homes in West Univesity never lost their power. I hope Good Company BBQ reopens soon!
what the hell were these people thinking when they taped the windows? good luck getting that tacky tape off the windows! We have power and washington and snover.
There is only one thing left for my family to do-go Halloween shopping! Seriously, we were told that Spirit Halloween is having their Grand Opening on Westheimer just east of Hwy 6 this weekend. We aren’t finding many places to go who have power & this will at least give the kids something happy to do after our very scary (no pun intended at all) week.
Hey Rikki…I shop at Spirit all the time. Those stores rock!! Their stores look different this year..really cool displays. It’s so much fun. I go to the one in Humble on 1960 behind the Olive Garden..Look for the pumpkin on the roof
