I can't say I am very artistic, after being in The Jung Center, I do have a very different perspective on art. I'd say anyone that wants to walk away with a new perspective they should check TJC out!

I was expecting a lot of people and long lines. To my surprise, it was so empty that I did not have to wait. The voting process was so smooth. The people were so helpful.

Bayland Community Center is locates in the middle of Bayland Park and it is located in precinct 3…read moreof Harris County. It has many entrances to get here. But the closest one is Bayland Park Drive or Dunlap Street. I often get confused with Burnett-Bayland Community Center, which is 3 miles away on Chimney Rock. I believe Bayland Community Center is one of the largest in the area because I've never seen a community center this busy. If you look at the group calendar online, we can see it's filled with meetings from Monday to Friday. No wonder this is one popular early election site. The polling entrance is near Bayland Geriatric Health Center. There are many parking stalls. I don't think you have trouble finding one. Parking lots are in front, back, side and across streets in the sports arena and etc.

There aren't a lot of parking spaces in the attached lot. I parked across street in the police department lot. The building is surrounded by a manicured yard. On the side of building, it has a Pelican Path. Just say it's a happy place to pose with people height cement statues. It opens from sunrise to sunset. This made a perfect place for a cultural venue for the summertime. Let the breeze of Clear Lake flown to my face. That experience is never felt in Houston. My only pet peeve is lack of bathrooms. If you really really have to go, Citgo on the other side of 2nd Street should be sufficient.

This modern building designed by PGAL architects is the City Hall and Civic Center of the City of…read moreBellaire. Completed in 2019, it is located next to Bellaire-Zindler Park and immediately south of a handful of good restaurants that front Bellaire Boulevard. There are several entrances and it is not immediately clear which is the main entrance, but the staff are friendly and will direct you to where you need to go. There is a large parking lot to the south of the building. The double yellow lines on S. Rice Avenue do not align with entrances of the parking lot, suggesting the city needs to repaint those, as everyone who needs to turn left out of the parking lot does so illegally.

To my surprise, my children recently said that they have not been there. They must have went when they were quite young and don't remember. It was worth going back to again for us. It's been at least 8 years since we've been there. And it is just as nice as it used to be. The lawn could look better, but there were children blowing bubbles and running around and a little stand selling cotton candy,  so it's got the cute factor to it. It's also the perfect price at free.99 There's a parking garage nearby to pay for parking, which I would definitely recommend, because tow trucks were coming pretty quickly to get cars that did not pay for parking. Even though it was a hot day, just standing next to the water wall had a nice wind and mist coming towards us that we obviously really enjoyed. We saw people taking graduation pictures there and their sweet 15 pictures. It's a great photo op. Overall--it's the perfect price, close to the galleria and worth going to at least once.

I tried to go twice before and once was a holiday, then the other time there were infrastructure closures. I finally made it today! I called first and checked the website to be on the safe side. I checked out a book called Long Live the Tribe of Fatherless Girls by T Kira Madden. Looking forward to reading it this month for pride. This library is spacious. Computers, reading pods, and a few tables. I believe there's a separate open reading area too, but I did not venture into that space. Additionally, I saw some stairs so there is something upstairs that I'm not sure about. I loved seeing the Pride Month display with several curated books for representation. The staff members were helpful. I'd return to this location and plan to do more browsing when I return my checkout.

Looscan Library is charming in a vintage, historical way. There are plenty of open spaces, private rooms, and cozy nooks to settle into with a book. On this visit, I was excited to find a fill-a-bag book sale--an unbeatable deal. $5 and you can fill the bag (they provide) with as many books as you can fit. While nothing caught my eye this time, the selection had a little something for everyone. Printing and information stations are easy to access, and the overall space feels welcoming and home-y. Its Westheimer location makes it an easy five-minute stop from home. With all that sunlight streaming through the building, it's definitely going on my libraries to work from home whenever I need a break from my own place!
