@RetailBrokerHTX Dallas' convention center is hosting the 2026 FIFA world cup communications center. They are hardly "in no position to host conferences" and Houston did get the National cheerleading association conference from Dallas just last month. Why are you so negative?

Dallas’ convention center is under renovation, in no position to host conferences Austin convention center is a pile of rubble as we speak until 2029 This should be a golden age for Houston’s GRB. We should be booked weekly w/ a line forming to the left. Are we? Of course not.

@funmesquite Or it could just be incompetence and desperation to make downtown Dallas relevant…like tearing down city hall…mark it down it will happen.

The new Dallas Convention Center construction is budgeted at $4B for 2.5M sq ft. ​That’s $1,600 per square foot. 🏛️💸

@HeadPurser @tastybits @TexasVC This is why I waste my time on social media! Thank you!

@tastybits @TexasVC That was a deep cut lol...there's an incredible book on the clash between the Vietnamese fisherman and the KKK in the bay. texasobserver.org/fishermen-drag…

As soon as oil hit $100, the infamous Spindletop restaurant is reopening in Houston. Boomtown is back! (do not go)

@tastybits @kingshoker_ Now the Petroleum Club I’ve never been to… LOL. I’m not an O&G guy!

@kingshoker_ On and off. But the pinnacle in this genre is the Petroleum Club. Private, old as fuck and musty. Its glorious.

@tastybits @evan7257 I ate there but don’t recall the occasion. The rotation is imperceptible.

@HTX_Son @evan7257 It’s a restaurant. That spins. Do you remember it as a good restaurant or notable for rotational qualities?

@GrooganFox26 @GaryPolland @billking Bill King has some fringe ideas on population growth and transit. Good thing he was never elected as mayor.

On the latest edition of “What’s Your Point?” Commentator @GaryPolland offered a solution for the City of Houston’s financial challenges - establishment of the “King Commission” led by @billking to further eliminate “fraud, waste and abuse” and make revenue preserving recommendations. @FOX26Houston more at KRIV.Fox/wyp

@DouthatNYT I've watched most of Ben's interviews. This was the best one explaining his diagnosis and treatment plan.

This week's episode of "Interesting Times" is a conversation with Ben Sasse, who is dying in public: nytimes.com/2026/04/09/opi…

@MarioforHouston Good work council member!

Another win for District H! City Council voted to approve construction of the new East Sunset Heights Park, transforming the old transit station into a space the community can enjoy for years to come. Thank you for the support, proud to keep delivering progress for District H.

@shea_jordan He lost the police officers union but gained the Hispanic vote. Which do you think is more important?

In case you missed it—this should be national news but somehow isn’t—Houston Mayor John Whitmire has fractured one of the core pillars of his slowly splintering political coalition.

Whitmire served 50 years in the Texas Senate! He’s not a fool. Who do you think is more important, Hispanics who make up the majority of the City of Houston or the Police Officers’ Union? And by the time the election rolls around the Union will have changed their tune, especially if Pollard or Hollins is on the other side.

Whitmire losing the police union endorsement because of one vote despite the massive pay raises and everything else he does for them. Wow. houstonpublicmedia.org/articles/news/…

@No_Divots Did you mention The Covey was rated the number one Golf course in Texas by the Dallas Morning News?

The Covey at Big Easy Ranch is the newest Chet Williams golf course west of Houston. Amazing property and land movement. Doesn’t feel like Houston metro area!

@No_Divots @laguzio__ Actually, Columbus gets Houston TV stations… LOL

@laguzio__ Lol I was driving from Houston so that was my reference point!

@No_Divots It’s an hour and 20 minutes from Houston. We used to drive to The Falls and get 36 holes in before dark. This one is a beauty! Private and for the rich, but a beauty nonetheless!

@LtGovTX Oh gosh. We know if it’s Taylor Sheridan it will be trashy and demeaning to women. Thanks a lot!

My statement announcing Taylor Sheridan as producer and director of an Alamo battle film for new museum at the Alamo. #txlege

@HoustonChron Let’s keep things in perspective. District C elected Abbie Kamin. Is there any progressive to the left of her? You can manufacture excitement but there is no tectonic shift in voter preferences in District C. If this were Kingwood, ok, but it isn’t…

Opinion | Progressives won in Houston’s District C. And they’re just getting started, writes opinion editor Evan Mintz. houstonchronicle.com/opinion/outloo…

@jakedc6 It’s Espada too… Sparky said on the radio he thought they were going to bring in a traditional reliever to put out the fire in the fifth instead of going straight to Weiss. That requires strategy. Next thing you know we are losing 8-3.

@JLopas Every city in the U.S. has beautiful and not-so-beautiful areas. This is not Singapore!

Why are all large Texas cities 10x cleaner than in other states? Houston:

@evan7257 @Panzaredda This might be partially true, but most (if not all) developers build for a higher income bracket clientele, especially inside the loop.

@HTX_Son @Panzaredda It is expensive because we don't build enough of it and therefore prices go up -- reflecting scarcity and demand

Quality of urbanism increases dramatically once your cross the border into Mexico - night and day. Sure Mexico City is paradise on Earth, but I don't see enough urbanist content about how avg Latin American cites provide better templates for US urbanism than Denmark or Amsterdam
