    Whenever I'm stuck somewhere, I call my husband and ask him to pull up the map and let me know what's going on.

    While reading through the latest edition of Papercity, I saw an article about the recently opened…read moreWOW, Washington Avenue on Westcott. It is a green space with a metal Light garden brought to us by sculptor Tim Glover. The project has began well over 14 years ago and is finally almost at it's completion. The space itself is a bit underwhelming considering the funding and time that has gone into this project. But I guess plans and projects like this has a lot of red tape to go through. But overall, it was just way too small, I was expecting to be WOWed, but I was like meh. The lights at night are cool, but not mind blowing. Glad we have stuff like this in Houston, but was hoping for more. Also btw the yelp maps is wrong, it is actually at the roundabout off washington right when it hits westcott, not at I-10.

    WOW is kinda right if you only mean Westcott on Washington. I personally think this roundabout is…read morethe circle of hell. I have spent many an evening circling it asking myself why I had missed Westcott... oh wrong turn. Go back and make some three sixties. These upside down legs for a side table / sculpture will now direct you to Westcott to Memorial to 610. YAY. I don't need your stinkin street sign! But at (what I've heard from David N) a $2.6 mil price tag? Maybe just put in a street sign next time. Not quite sure why this location deserves this type of attention.

Hundreds of thousands of Mexican free‑tailed bats come streaming out from under the bridge as dusk hits -- it's mesmerizing watching them swirl up over the bayou and head out to hunt insects. Reminded me of Austin which has a similar spot.

This is one of my favorite places to take friends and family visiting from out of town--it's such a cool experience! The best time to see them is about 30 minutes before sunset. You may have a wait a while, but be patient- it's worth it! As the bats get ready for their nightly flight, you can hear them becoming more active. They will begin dropping from the crevices under the bridge and sometimes gather in small groups. Sometimes they leave in small groups and sometimes en masse. My favorite is when they emerge as a giant swirling bat tornado! You can bring a blanket to sit on the steep hill, stand on the pathway below, or watch from the bridge above. Just watch out for cyclists--they don't always slow down for pedestrians and can be a bit hazardous. Frown. The guano smell is strong, but hey, it's all part of the experience. Parking is tricky. Do NOT park in the shopping center across the street where Subway is, even if the lot is empty. They tow cars--I found out the hard way. $350! If you can't snag one of the limited parking spots nearby, I'd suggest taking an Uber or Lyft instead. This is such a unique and fun experience, and I can't recommend it enough!
