   From Old school:

   This is an amazing act of philanthropy. That was a prime parcel of land in Bellaire. The donors could have made piles of money selling it or developing it. I really wish this happened more often in Houston. It is not like there is a shortage of people with deep pockets in Houston who can do something like this with what they find in their couch cushions.

   From Russell Weil:

   Evelyn Rubenstein was such a kind, gracious and warm woman – family meant so much to her always. She would be pleased with the amzazing gift Jerry and Bo have given to the city of Bellaire and its citizens.

   This is how parks, historic preservation, museums, etc. should come about.

   5 beautiful green acres…inside the Loop?!

   This is just simply fucking awesome. I love it. This native Houstonian is encouraged that we can incrementally grow our city’s green space either through wonderful private efforts like Evelyn’s Park or public endeavors like Discovery Green.
