This area is North what I was expecting. When I saw how lovely it is up here, I Side deeply and…read moredecided to write a good review about it. The Northside of Houston is magical, and I don't mean in terms of traffic or crime, but I do mean in terms of food and culture, as it is one of the most heavily Hispanic neighbourhoods, and in other parts it's one of the most African-American parts of Houston. And so the culture and food in all of these areas is rich and amazing, even as the demographics are poor, and the highway through here - Interstate 45 - is truly and statistically a death trap. Dallas and Houston nothing alike. HOU has more in common with Queens (NYC) and L.A. than Dallas. It is criminally underrated, nearly as pretty as San Antonio, way cooler than Austin and Dallas. One of the most ethnically diverse, exciting cities in the world. With the food to prove it. For this reason we come up here whenever we can and these are some of the food highlights: These on the North Side: Tostada Regia - mole w pechuga, salsas, everything Asia Market Thai Lao - Green or Massaman Curry with Shrimp or Veggies, Thai Hot, Thai Iced Tea or Lime Thai Iced Tea.

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. It's SO much more accurate than the traffic on my iPhone. I wonder if Transtar real time traffic maps have an app? I LOVE the addition of the cameras, so you can actually see the traffic or accident. The signs on the side of the road are great. Everyday I know what the commute will be like by checking out how long it takes to get to each major freeway. When you travel 3 freeways to get to work, you see the Transtar signs everywhere!

I'm not just yelping Leland-Downtown because the receptionist was laidback enough to still take me 10 minutes late (I hate having "a story", but I created one for myself. After hopping off at Bell NB station, I went looking for 1919 Leland Street - which doesn't exist - instead of walking a quick 9 minutes to 1919 Smith, which would've had me there 10-15 minutes early). It seemed as if this receptionist's policy was to be as understanding as possible to everyone. And the laidback-but-professional vibe didn't end there. The office uses room partitions, so you can hear plenty between the taxpayer and IRS employee(s) even though you don't want to. I heard nothing but compassionate pragmatism from the few speaking employees who were interacting the desperate/hopeless taxpayers they served. It seemed as if I were listening to IRS employees with degrees in social work or psychology....advanced degrees, okay? When my number was called, I got Ms. Richardson (employee #1002875500). As suspected, whoever received my digital paperwork earlier this year did the bare minimum instead of putting themselves on the best-practices track that could've saved me a trip to the IRS office. Yes, this needs its own paragraph. #ResponsibleTaxpayer #iToldYouSo #RespectOnMyName I appreciated Ms. Richardson's transparency*. It showed that she's not ride-or-die for anyone who works for the IRS just because she's an employee herself. And that wasn't all. There was another employee from a different cubicle with us at one point during my appointment (her boss maybe? not sure.) who volunteered a needed taxpayer tip for an idependent contractor like me. She didn't have to share anything with me, but she did. So many thanks to whoever that was. And, of course, many more thanks to, Ms. Richardson for undoing what another IRS employee did as well as for Ms. R's empathy re: me getting lost on the way there. Keep keepin' it mellow for everyone, Leland-Downtown Office. Thanks again. *Addendum - Ms. Richardson even verified how many letters the IRS sent me this year after I briefly mentioned the USPS ordeal I've been going through since the summer of 2021, all of which I've yelped for your reading pleasure.
