I took one of my good friends here with her two small children a couple of days ago. Once we got to…read morethe location they asked us to go to, she called them and told them where she was. My friend had her phone on speaker and they asked if she had a ride. smasher told them yes and she was then told to drive down the street to the facility and they would open the gate. Once she got inside the (white) lady with the bob shoulder len hair was very rude and began telling her she breached contract because she had me drive her to the facility. While on the phone I told the lady I work in local treatment facilities and I've spoken there before. She never said anything. So they finally allowed her to stay. Come to find out... the staff is VERY rude and don't like to be bothered. If you ask a question it's a problem. The facility has running vehicles and do not drive the women to their children's doctors appointment, stores, or job seeking. She was told the vans are for" emregency use only." They provide no child care at all. The women are responsible for finding their own childcare, getting rides to and from appointment, looking for jobs and getting to grocery stores on their own. The next day she asked if I could bring her to the grocery store and to meet here down the street at a place. It wasn't far from the facility and she was kicked out the next day because of where I picked her up at. When she got up the next morning she found ants and roaches crawling inside of her things and the food they offered there is expired since last year. I'm distraught to find out how these people go out into public places to promote this facility....yet they treat the women like trash. How do you expect someone to get on their feet after leaving an abusive situatio, becoming homeless and fearing for their lives. These women are having to take their children and walk EVERYWHERE they go. What if their abuser sees them? I'm so pissed right now. This needs to be dealt with immediately. This place is getting assistance from the state to run it this way is insane!! The staff there are most definitely working for a paycheck only....wheres the compassion... the empathy? We are now currently looking for a place for her and her children to go. If I could rate this place ZERO stars I would....

My friend got tickets to see a Christmas lights show in the Houston Botanical Garden. Thought it…read morewas neat the way everything lit up in the darkness. We arrived here on the last Sunday of the year. December 28, 2025. It was very auspicious for sure. We found parking at around 7:45pm and had people directing us where to park. We found parking and walked towards the entrance and waited for my friend's friends to show up. After introductions, we entered the botanical park and my friend scanned all the tickets for our group to enter. I'm not sure how much those tickets costs, but I'm sure it was worth every penny. We probably spent about 1 1/2 hours here from start to finish. We tried to stay close to together, walking close together and enjoying the lit up displays along the way. It was cool how everything was themed. From animals and insects to the many Chinese astrology animals. We even asked each other about who is what sign and we all tried to find where our Chinese animal was. It was a fun experience to have with friends on a Sunday evening. A lot of trees and signage were decorated with a lot of lights and festive themes. It was a beautiful night to be out and about. Thanks to my friends and new friends who have helped me enjoy the last Sunday of 2025 with a paid admission. It was cool that there was a lot of families and children out and about. Weather was good that night. No need to put on layers. There were food vendors in the park that night but we ate dinner prior to coming out to the Houston Botanical Gardens. The overall experience here at the Houston Botanical Gardens was very cool. Just saw the gardens at night which was cool but not during the day when it can be very therapeutic and calming as well. Still, the most beautiful thing about the lights event is that it brings people together during the holidays. Brings out the humanity in people when life seems to be on edge these days. The atmosphere that night was decidedly electric and plenty of people were around to make it better. I forgot to take photos that evening but the memories will live with me forever. For the most part though, I enjoyed myself here, seeing something different than the usual tourist thing in Houston at night. The asphalt paths was marked and there was no problem navigating around the garden. It felt smaller than it was but then again, I was following friends around without realizing how large the botanical garden really was. And so, it was just the right place that I needed to be. Enjoying the vacation with friends before doing something in Missouri City 2 days later. Maybe I should not have walked around too much that evening, but it's been a good way to be active out here at the Houston Botanical Gardens than sitting around at the house. I'm pretty sure that the lights show that I attended here is a seasonal event, so I'm assuming that they just have it annually. Not sure about other events at the HBG, but definitely check them out if you are interested and in the Houston area. Just happened to be here during the holidays in 2025. The Houston Botanical Garden is a beautiful place that's located centrally in the city of Houston, Texas. It's physically located at 1 Botanic Lane, Houston. I'm sure they accept major credit cards as well as cash for their online ticketing and people who pay at the entrance on a daily basis. As far as parking goes, there's quite a bit of parking stalls here. Albeit being at night, I figured that it was large enough to fit about 75-100 cars at any given time. I'm not sure about public transportation options, since I'm a visitor to Houston, but you can double check with the local transportation authority and see which routes are applicable and appropriate for your next trip to the Houston Botanical Gardens. Best thing to do is to have your own car, rent one, or hit up your local Houston friends to hang out at the Houston Botanical Gardens next time they're available. And of course, there is Uber and Lyft if you need their services as well. The admission fee is reasonable for anyone and everyone to help maintain the gardens. The staff here is friendly and knowledgeable about the native plants that's being cared for here. There's signage that helps you identify all the plant species that are here at the HBG. Do yourself a favor and come down to The Houston Botanical Gardens on your next trip to Houston. It may be the place you need to start or end your day. 5.0 stars for the overall experience. Support local! A+

When you hear the name Courville you know you're guaranteed good eats and impeccable service…read more Yesterday I visited their restaurant/catering/and entertainment venue located on Hwy 90 a short drive just pass Major drive. When I entered I saw that their tables were set up with red & white table coverings ready for the lunch crowd. I was greeted immediately with smiling faces and I even received a hug from Ms. Chelle. On Wednesday's Courville offers a hot meal and a cold one called Love Lunches. The name definitely fits because you get a taste of TLC in each bite. You are welcome to come in and eat inside or take it with you. I ordered for hubby and myself, two Cobb salads to go. These salads really hit the spot during these hot summer months. The first thing that caught my eye was the beauty of the presentation. It was lovely to look at and even better to eat. This salad radiates with the vibrancy of spring, with an array of beautiful, bright colors. This dish of deliciousness starts with a mountain of fresh spring mix lettuce, followed by plump grape tomatoes, sliced cucumbers, egg, avocado, bacon bits, shredded cheese, purple onions, with slices of the best and well seasoned chicken breast resting on top. Each bite provided a forkful of comfort and flavor. It's a show of veggies brimming with freshness and flavor. You will eat it for the taste and love it for the nutrition. . Check out Courville's Love Lunches every Wednesday from 11:00-2:00. You can check out their menu on their FB page or on Best Bites. Tell them Best Bitea sent you. # supporting locals #BestBites
