Efforts to address Houston’s flooding issues take a major step forward last weekend as Harris County now embarks on a long road ahead.

On Aug. 25, Harris County voters elected to pass the Harris County Flood Control District’s $2.5 billion bond aimed at more than 230 potential flood risk reduction projects throughout the county to address the city’s need for flood risk reduction, and the lack of funding that has stalled construction. More than

Voters have approved the issuance of up to $2.5 billion in bonds.

40 of the proposed projects are within Garden Oaks. Oak Forest, the Heights, and other local neighborhoods.

Nearly 152,000 voters from

more than 1,000 precincts in Harris County turned out for last weekend’s bond election as the measure passed with flying colors. Nearly 86 percent of voters voted in favor of

passing the bond.

“We are very excited that the voters have significantly enhanced the Flood Control District’s ability to address the flooding issues that impact Harris County by approving the issuance of up to $2.5 billion in bonds to help us implement more flood risk reduction projects in a shorter timeframe,” HCFCD Executive Director Russ Poppe said Saturday in response to the election results. “We intend to make immediate use of this opportunity.”

The Leader and Memorial Hermann Greater Heights are once again inviting local seniors out for a day of fun, food, and information gathering as the 7th Senior Expo is fast approaching. The annual event is officially set for Wednesday, Sept. 19 at the SPJST Lodge 88 at 1435 Beall St., beginning at 8:30 a.m. until 1 p.m.

The event provides access to resources, services, and businesses across the community that are imperative for senior care.

Attendees will have the opportunity to meet and greet with a variety of different vendors offering healthcare, insurance and transportation options while listening to experts tackle subjects important to senior health.

They will also be able to enjoy free breakfast and lunch, along with door prizes and other giveaways throughout the day.

Cavatore Italian Restaurant will be catering lunch for the event.

Further, while the Expo’s primary aim may be to specifically help seniors find some much-needed services and resources, Leader Publisher Jonathan McElvy said several types of caregivers in the community can also gain great insight into caring for senior loved ones during the event as well. At least 500 attendees are expected for the festivities.

“This is a really cool opportunity for us, as a community newspaper, to give back to our residents in a crucial way,” McElvy said.

“Even if people in the community are not technically seniors, there are businesses here that offer wonderful services to those on the caregiving side of things. We hope everyone can stop on by.”

Admission to the Senior Expo is free of charge. To register for the event or find out more details, such as a schedule of speakers and further information, visit theleadernews. com or call 713-686-8494.

BB gun incidents bombard Heights

By Landan Kuhlmann landan@theleadernews.com A series of recent BB gun incidents around the Heights has some residents unnerved, and concerned for the safety of their neighbors.

Shortly before 8 p.m. Aug. 18, Sunset Heights resident Andy Noel said his wife was walking downstairs when she heard a pop following by the shattering of glass. And sure enough, upon observation the couple’s front door had been shattered in a multitude of pieces by what appeared to be a bullet coming from a BB gun.

“As we looked and realized there was some sort of bullet hole in it, we also looked around our bay window, and saw another hole,” Noel told The Leader.

The Noels would later find out there were two other incidents just like theirs on their street that very same night.

Further, as Noel prepared to begin a thread on NextDoor warning the neighborhood, he

Contributed photo Shown here is the blown-out back car window from what appears to be either a pellet gun or BB gun. There have been several incidents around the Heights over the last 10 days per a thread on NextDoor, and residents have become concerned.

discovered a jarring trend.

“You just began to find a bunch of acitivity on this topic, and got inundated with it,” he said.

In addition to the three which occurred the night of Aug, 18, the thread documented apparent incidents on Aug. 20, then another on Aug. 23 Another incident happened Aug. 25, when someone got their windows shot out.

Incidents have ranged all

around the Heights area, according to the thread. The Harris County Precinct 1 Constable’s Office said it has received 10 reports of criminal mischief around the Heights from Aug. 16-27.

A spokesperson for Precinct 1 confirmed an incident Aug. 18 in the 2000 block of Columbia Street, another on Aug. 20 (where a secondstory window was shattered by a BB shot), and an Aug.

23 report of 2 vehicles’ windshields cracked by an apparent BB shot in the 2200 block of Columbia. And the trend remains alarming to Noel.

“It was just a growing number as you went along,” he said. “Collectively, it’s a lot of damage.”

Property damage aside, Noel also fears for the safety of his neighbors – some of whom have also been victimized – along with any person out and about if the perpetrators are not caught soon.

“They’re doing a lot of damage. It’s just nuts. If they’re not careful, we’ve got a lot of kids in our neighborhood, people walking up and down the streets,” he said.

“They could hit some people too – that’s my main concern.

It’s just a dreaded sense that these people are going to come down the street again – it’s just extremely frustrating to see someone be able to get away with this kind of thing.”

Bond from P. 1A missioners Court agenda will include items to advance 14 flood risk reduction projects that are made possible by the new bond funding, and there will be more projects in the coming months.

“Harris County residents have put their trust in the Flood Control District and we plan to work extremely hard and efficiently to turn the financial resources made available as a result of this election into the reality of reduced flooding risks across Harris County,” Poppe said.

HCFCD says the full cost of the bond would be phased in over several years, and would not impact property tax bills all at once. The timing of individual projects will depend on factors such

as environmental permitting and right-of-way acquisition, and the Harris County Budget Management Department estimates that the overall tax increase will be no more than two to three cents per $100 of home valuation. Most homeowners should see an increase of no more than 1.4 percent in their property tax.

Projects will be distributed throughout Harris County, under umbrellas of channel modification projects, regional storm water detention basins and more, along with home buy-outs in areas with the greatest risk of flooding. Bonds will be sold in increments over at least 10-15 years, as needed for the multiple phases of each project.

An intersection with cameras is a Red Light District

T

HE INTERSECTION – Any driver in Houston knows that, if your car is first in line when the traffic light turns green, you never go forward. Why? Because some cretin will come whipping across your bow at 70, with the distinct possibility of turning you into a small item on the newspaper’s obituary page. So you wait until that train of traffic stops.

Only then do you creep out into -- WHAM! That train was longer than I thought. Thanks, Gov. Greg Abbott.

As you may have heard, our esteemed guv has just posted on his Twitter account: “More & more I think it’s time to do away with Red-Light cameras in Texas. Study Shows No Evidence Red-Light Cameras Lead To Improvements In Safety.” More & more I wish we had a gubernatorial election next November. This disregard of Texans’ safety is not new. Remember when former Gov. George (Oops) Bush vetoed a measure passed by the Republican-controlled state legislature outlawing texting while driving? Bush called the bill an “overreach” and a “government effort to micromanage the behavior of adults.” (This reminds us of Jack Dillon Young. In 2017 his pickup truck slammed into a church bus near Uvalde killing 13 people.

Young admitted he was texting at the time.)

Now W’s successor is in favor

Lynn Ashby Columnist

of letting red-light runners keep running. Abbott based his stand on a new study done by Justin Gallagher, assistant professor of economics at Case Western Reserve University, who reviewed Texas traffic in several major cities, especially Houston. His study found that, while fewer motorists may go through red lights at intersections with cameras, there are more rear-end collisions as drivers slam on their brakes to avoid going into the intersection, and are hit by vehicles from behind. “At the same time, electronic monitoring is likely to increase other types of accidents.” In Houston, the cameras caused “non-angle” accidents, such as rear-end collisions, to go up 18 percent. In Dallas and Houston combined, the cameras caused a 28 percent increase in those accidents. The study found “no evidence of a reduction in total accidents or injuries” where cameras are used. (Incidentally, “angle accidents” are what we would call

T-bones, a vehicle slamming into another from the side.) The study found: “Approximately one-third of all Houston intersection accidents are angle accidents.”

British Prime Minister Benjamin Disraeli is credited with saying, “There are lies, damned lies, and statistics.” So this statistical study may be flawed, but it comes at a great time. Red light cameras are used in nearly two dozen states.

Arlington uses them. So does Fort Worth, where organizers launched a petition to get rid of the cameras, but failed. The most unusual case is Houston. It operated a large camera program at 66 intersections between 2006 and 2010, then city residents passed a referendum in November of 2010 to ban the cameras. The city had to pay out a bundle to the company that operated the cameras for breaking the contract.

Those opposed to the cameras say they are only a way for the city to make money. We must assume that these people never put money or swipe credit cards at parking meters, the meters only being another way for the city to pick our pockets. As for paying water bills or city taxes, maybe they don’t. Also, the critics believe cameras violate the U.S. Constitution. Perhaps they cite the right to bear arms for their defense, in this case the weapon is a pickup with a rifle rack. Critics hope the Texas

Legislature next year will ban the cameras that generate millions of dollars each year for its cities. Such a move is possible because, as you and I have discussed, our legislators have already usurped local governments to deal with plastic bags, Uber, Lyft and where to plant trees.

A moment now to explain to the uninformed exactly what we are discussing. Cameras are set so vehicles entering intersections after the light has turned red -- and those that don’t come to a complete stop before making a right turn on a red light -- are photographed. Vehicles entering the intersection on yellow that are still in the intersection when the light turns red are not photographed, according to the Texas Department of Transportation. After each offense, a ticket is automatically sent to the car’s owner. This last part causes problems with the critics, because the driver may not be the owner. Maybe the cameras should also take a picture of the driver, especially if he’s driving a getaway car.

If Gov. Abbott likes a select set of statistics, we have others. In one study in Virginia, red light cameras reduced the number of total drivers running red lights by 67 percent. More than 100,000 crashes and 1,000 fatalities are caused by motorists running red lights each year, according to the Texas

Neighbors: New principals Honore and Niggli welcomed; Dakota Stormer makes renewable energy interactive

By Elizabeth Villarreal elizasgarden@outlook.com

Principals from area elementary schools which are in the feeder pattern for Frank Black Middle school and Waltrip High School gathered at Frank Black MS recently to welcome its new Principal Rhonda Honore and Waltrip High School’s new Principal Michael Niggli. In addition to Niggli and Honore, also present were Dr. Lindsey Pollock, Principal of Garden Oaks Montessori; Principal Jennifer Barrientez of Stevens Elementary; Principal Andrew Casler of Oak Forest Elementary; Assistant Principal Axinia Zepeda of Durham Elementary; and Principal Lee Mashburn of Sinclair Elementary.

As each principal spoke and shared his or her vision for area schools and families, it was clear these administrators have heard the plea of the community for strong, stable leadership in their zoned schools as well as continuity and real teamwork between the administrators to better serve students and build a sure pathway to success from PreK through 12th grade for all of the students in these schools.

Collaborating, sharing spaces and resources on the various campuses, older students from middle and high school mentoring younger students in elementary, community involvement, volunteerism, and more are among the exciting plans of these administrators.

It just takes one person to make a difference and start a ripple effecting awareness and change. Meet your neighbor from the Houston Heights, Dakota Stormer, also known as Cody. Stormer attended Oak Forest Elementary for several years as a child, graduated from Magnolia West High School as valedictorian and now lives in the Heights, but he’s light years away from the lunch line and playground kickball. While just 23 years of age, Stormer has a jaw dropping resume and is employed

by Shell as a Health, Safety, Security, and Environmental Advisor. Cody’s proud parents are Eric and Kelli Stormer.

In his lifetime, Stormer has experienced the extreme weather events in Houston and as a child in 2005, he began writing a weather blog and studying meteorology and climatology. Attracted to math and science studies in school, his teachers encouraged him to pursue engineering.

After graduating University of Texas at Austin with a chemical engineering degree with specializations in environmental engineering and alternative energy, Stormer went backpacking through Europe for a month, traveling by himself through Sweden, Germany, France, Spain, Italy and England, and he spent time with locals getting to know

their way of life in each place he landed, asking questions of regular people he met along the way, and thus learned about the culture of sustainability and thoughts on renewable energy in each city.

Once back in the U.S., Stormer began grad school and is currently attending Johns Hopkins University part-time for a master’s degree in energy policy and climate, started working for Shell at the same time, and has now been with Shell for 11 months.

While working for Shell and continuing his grad studies, Stormer has continued moving forward with multiple projects.

One of these was a special opportunity shared by a friend and Stormer applied to be part of the UNLEASH Innovation Lab of 2018 which addressed the United Nations sustainable development goals. Alongside a team of four other talents from Singapore, Australia, Germany and India, Stormer developed a solution to address energy access needs in Lagos, Nigeria. The “Power Tower” they created provides solar generated electricity for charging cell phones, is portable and on a cart with a canopy which has solar panels, and allows a new way of making a living. The vendors can take the mobile electricity generation station back to their home or community at day’s end.

I asked Stormer how they were able to come up with the Power Tower in what seems like a relatively short period of time. He replied, “Well, we focused on access to clean and affordable energy. From there we went into smaller groups focused on renewable energy and we brainstormed problems and needs. Once each team found the problem they wanted to solve, we unleashed our creativity.” Stormer emphasized, “All these people – it was unforgettable – unparalleled – I met people from different countries and ways of life with the same goals! To find people who could be your twin, but they’re from the opposite side of the world, was just amazing.”

Stormer is also the cofounder and CEO of Technicology, LLC and he and his colleague have developed an app called “Footprint” which tracks your carbon footprint, similar to My Fitness Pal. It’s an interactive app and one can work with teams or do it individually and challenge one another to go above and beyond to reduce your impact on the planet. It’s still in actual App development, but keep an eye on it – and you can learn more about it at www.mytechnicology.com.

Recently Stormer traveled to Hawaii to complete a grad class focused on ecology and geology to see up close and in person how climate change has affected the region. “We learned about the geological

formation of the island and then learned about the ecology - how some of the species have adapted to the many different climate zones on Hawaii and we got to see how climate change has affected them.” Hawaii has about 11 of the 13 different climate zones in the world; it is a small scale version of the earth’s climates which makes the Hawaiian Islands a perfect spot for studies like this.

When asked what Stormer would like to achieve in his engineering career, he replied, “I would love to work on designing innovative solutions to the world’s problems with clean energy technology. I am currently interested in ocean thermal energy conversion, which uses the temperature difference between the ocean surface and water near the

ocean floor to generate electricity.”

Next on Stormer’s agenda is the Climate Reality Leadership Corps, a climate leadership program facilitated by experts in Los Angeles later in August. Stormer said, “I am also leading a continuously growing 365 Days of Science campaign on Twitter (@Dakota_Stormer), where over 17,000 individuals are currently subscribed to science updates and news.”

Stormer’s goal is to make sustainability and renewal energy understandable, relatable and interactive and help people understand the need for clean energy.

Department of Transportation. A Northwestern University Transportation study of Chicago’s red-light cameras program found it “delivers significant safety benefits,” and recommended that the program be continued.

Some have argued that the cameras are an invasion of privacy.

This may be true, so avoid going where video or photo shots are taken. This includes any liquor or convenience store, hospital, bank, post office, malls and most street corners. Best to just stay home.

It is also charged – as mentioned -- that the cameras violate our constitutional rights. This stance has been taken to court several times. Judges in Ohio and Florida have ruled in favor of the red-light runners. Other judges, including a federal judge in Chicago, say cities are perfectly legal to enforce those laws. Like the studies and statistics, you can pick the flavor that suits your preconceived notion. I have made my own learned study on the matter and have determined that red-light runners believe they own the road, don’t have to obey the law and can get away with it.

I have a 100 percent chance of being right.

Grab a broom if another Harvey rolls through town

Dear Editor: Houston will flood again. I can’t agree that Turner and Emmett were so heroic and brilliant. I have a constant reminder of Harvey, because the neighbor’s giant tree fell, mostly into my yard and onto my house. The neighbor never removed the giant trunk and limb in my yard, nor has my landlord been too concerned. I would love to see a new law that anyone with a large tree in proximity to buildings must have it inspected annually, have it certified, and pay a fee.

The tree that fell was all rotted inside, and should have been taken down. Anyhow, if anyone would like about five tons of red oak, come on by and cut and haul this out of the driveway.

Jason Hochman Dear Editor: Good thoughts, Jonathan. Just remember that some of us are still living in homes that are still devastated by Harvey. There are many like me still dealing with Harvey.

For whatever reasons: complying with mortgage company requirements, dealing with flood insurance claims, permit issues from the city, or the shortage of qualified contractors, many of us have not got our homes back together.

Just remember that.

O

ne year ago our city was underwater. People were driven from their homes by the rising flood waters. One musician friend of mine sat in the dark in his partially flooded house as he waited to be evacuated, playing Showers of Blessing on his piano. While Harvey pounded our city it didn’t feel like a blessing but Jesus, the Master of the storm has used Harvey to bring many blessings to people all across our city. People have been blessed with the opportunity to serve others, with the opportunity to be served by others, and with the opportunity to see God supply in miraculous ways. Our church has seen tremendous growth over the past year and much of that has been in part because of the opportunities we had to help people that needed help after Hurricane Harvey.

This storm truly brought blessings to the members of our church as we drew closer through serving one another and serving our community, and as we experienced the tremendous provision that God brings to those in need. God promises to every need of His children. If you are suffering as a result of a need in your life we would like to help. Whether this need came about because of Hurricane Harvey or some other trial in your life God has answers.

Our church would love to help you!

Art Valet: Art Market returns to daytime

Eateries to join Railway Heights

Mitch Cohen Art Columnist

New to Railway Heights

The news about the upcoming Railway Heights broke just Zarah a few weeks ago and already Parker the Timbergrove development Managing is gaining new business.

Editor Churrasco Food Truck announced on their Instagram that they have decided to make Railway Heights their first permanent location. The Brazilian food truck is known for their picanha and plantains.

Also, by way of Instagram The Grove Do-Nuts announced they were excited to open their second location at Railway Heights. Doughnut lovers can expect creatively iced doughnuts, croissant doughnuts, and a pizza offering.

Lastly, Craft Burger, another popular food truck, will be joining Railway Heights. The news was proclaimed through Instagram. This will be Craft Burger’s second food hall location, the first being inside Downtown’s Finn Hall.

Superica and La Lucha opening soon

September 10 marks the open date for side by side Heights spots Superica and La Lucha. The Tex-Mex concept Superica will serve up queso, tamales, and tacos, while La Lucha next door serves as a homage to owner Ford Fry’s favorite childhood diner, San Jacinto Inn. As reported by Eater Houston La Lucha will dish out Gulf oysters, fried chicken, and burgers.

Superica hours will be 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. on weekdays and will stay open an extra hour on weekends. La Lucha will be open 5 p.m. to 10 p.m. from Monday through Thursday, and from noon until 11 p.m. on weekends.

New charm coming to the Heights

Savior is a new restaurant coming to the Heights in November. Owner Brain Doke has been in the restaurant industry for many years. According to CultureMap, he spent eight years as the director of operations for Tiny Boxwood’s, and after that consulted both Relish Restaurant & Bar and Chapman & Kirby.

When he found a warehouse on the corner of Yale and 14th Street, he knew it would be the perfect spot for his restaurant.

The space will feature three coordinated sections, the bar, the dining area, and what Doke calls the Garden Room. The latter will feature a long glass and metal wall that can be opened when nice weather arrives.

As reported by CultureMap the cuisine will be chef driven, seasonally focused, modern American with European focus.

Coltivare launches non-alcoholic beverages

Coltivare has always had off-menu non-alcoholic cocktails, you just had to know about it. But now that the beverage director for the restaurant is pregnant they’re making the menu official, according to Houstonia. The menu includes the Original (hibiscus, lemon, lime, Topo Chico), Doctor Pepo’s Tonic (cucumber shrub, citrus, mint, tonic, salt), and Finder’s Keepers (a mock Pimm’s Cup with orange, lemon, cucumber, ginger, and Topo Chico).

Well, it’s sweater weather again. Don’t believe me? Just try buying a swimsuit, it’s impossible. Forget the fact that temperatures still hover near triple digits, pools are closed, and stores want you to buy long sleeved shirts and jackets.

There is no dress requirement at First Saturday Arts Market and the event is back open during the day, so consider wearing less than normal. Leave those sweaters at home.

Wood artist Heiko Weiner (The Leader, March 21, 2018) may have more to talk about than his intricately turned bowls and vases. Just ask him how his summer vacation was.

In my interview with Weiner this past March, he revealed that he planned to return to the Himalayas to climb Mt. Lhotse, which is located next to Mt. Everest. A mere 27,940 ft, the summit is the 4th highest in the world.

Mountain climbing has got to be one of the most physically and mentally challenging things a person can do. I’ve yet to catch up with Weiner about his trip to Kathmandu, Nepal and his near-successful climb. Visit the Facebook page, @ LhotseEBC, that he and his wife used for friends to follow along, the photos are breathtaking.

Before reaching the summit, Weiner experienced numb feet and made the decision to turn back. That may be the reason we get to see him at the market this Saturday, stop by and thank him for returning!

Weiner will join about thirty other artists from around Houston this Saturday for the return to daytime hours. All of the artists are listed on the website with photos, descriptions, and links to their web and social media sites.

two elementary schools in Greensboro, North Carolina.

Under her leadership, each campus was recognized as a Most Improved School in Guilford County.

Cox said that she came to Highland Heights Elementary because she wanted to work where she could make a difference with students and their families.

“I wanted to help grow teachers who support young people who have varied needs,” Cox said. “I have a great love and passion for teaching and learning. My greatest love is giving back to my community through the teaching of our children.”

Highland Heights is a school where in 2017, 87 percent of the students were classified by the district as economically disadvantaged and 73 percent were classified at risk.

Cox said that her school provides stability for children and their parents.

“We work with every child where they are and attempt to grow them as much as possible,” she said. “This school is identifying the needs of children from the academics to the social and emotional needs. We have been fortunate in being able to provide much needed support for the total child and families with the help of the district, including free breakfast, lunch, and dinner, as well as community referrals for health needs and services.

One of the ways that the district serves the school - and other HISD schools which are part of its Achieve 180 and Superintendent School initiative - is by the employment of a wraparound specialist. Highland Heights is fortunate to have the very energetic Kirkland Hall, who also is the football coach at Booker T. Washington High School this year.

Hall said he applied specifically to be the wraparound specialist at Highland Heights because he volunteered at the school with an organization called Loving Kids.

“I felt I could be a positive addition to the staff by

such as Megan Rasmussen, who had not planned on visiting the store until the madness died down.

But, out of necessity, she changed plans at the spur of the moment – and said the store’s convenience is nearly second-to-none for her situation. For years, she had driven out of her way for a dinner stop -but no more.

“I discovered I’d forgotten the meat for the tacos I was making that night.

It was on the way home, so we took our chances,” she said. “I’m very excited about a new store on this side of the loop.

When I’m heading home on 610 west, I always exit at Shepherd to get to my house in Candlelight Plaza, so I hate having to go past my house to Ella and up to Kroger for a last minute stop.”

The Austin-based grocer announced the new concept in May of 2015, and wasted no time searching Houston for a good location, saying it is designed to meet the public’s growing demand for natural foods through the use of a curated selection of products in a store occupying a much smaller footprint

Photo by Betsy Denson Principal Geraldine Cox said that about 50 families came to the school on Sunday to celebrate the start of another school year.

bringing knowledge, compassionate confrontation, and enthusiastic energy to the work,” said Hall. “Last year I was most proud of the establishing of relationships with the children. I started the wraparound position mid-year so I had to work quickly and strategically to properly meet all of the students and develop the trust and confidence with them.”

This year, Kirkland wants to bridge the gap between the school and the community.

“I’ll be working toward increasing parental involvement by partnering with the parents and also I’ll be connecting students to the appropriate resources to fit their non-academic needs to equip the whole child,” he said. “The result of these goals should be academic success.”

Principal Cox is looking for volunteers who are willing to come be breakfast helpers, lunch buddies, reading buddies, and classroom helpers.

“We would love to have someone sponsor and help support our PBIS store where children receive small prizes for performing well, good manners, [and] respectful behavior,” Cox said. “We would [also] like male men-

tors to support our young boys and volunteers for our College and Career day presentations.”

If you can heed the call to support Highland Heights this year, please e-mail Principal Geraldine Cox at gcox@houstonisd.org or wraparound specialist Kirkland Hall at Kirkland.Hall@ houstonisd.org.

than its flagship brand.

Despite the considerably smaller footprint, however, representatives believe the concept will have just as much staying power in Independence Heights as its older brother everywhere else.

“We’re excited to have such a warm welcome from the community,” the company said.

On opening day, the first 100 customers received a Whole Foods Market 365 gift card ranging in value from $5 to $365 and a free reusable tote bag, while hundreds more later lined the store’s checkout lines and filled the store’s parking lot nearly to capacity in anticipation of the neighborhood’s newest shopping option.

“As someone who grew up in this neighborhood and still spends so much time here with my wife working at a school nearby, I couldn’t be more excited to help bring the first Whole Foods Market 365 in Houston to this neighborhood,” said Store Team Leader Gerardo Rojas, “We have already hired 85 team members for the new store and connected with so many people that

are part of the Independence Heights community in Houston.”

It remains to be seen how the new concept will mesh with H-E-B on the southeast corner of Shepherd Drive and West 24th Street (just southwest of the Whole Foods 365 site) upon their arrivals, but one thing is for sure–Garden Oaks and Heights shoppers will soon have their pick of quality grocers within a convenient distance with Whole Foods 365, H-E-B, and ALDI when it opens in the Garden Oaks Shopping Center in Spring of 2019.

“I’ve been twice this week, and it’s great! Similar selection to the Whole Foods on Waugh, just a bit smaller. Great salad bar and prepared foods,” Lauren Reeder said. “[Whole Foods] may not be the only place I shop but I’ll probably be there a lot,” Rasmussen added.

Regular store hours are 7 a.m. to 9 p.m., seven days a week. For more information, visit the Whole Foods Market 365 website or follow them on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter.
