Multifamily developer Marquette Companies welcomed the first residents to Tempo at White Oak this month, marking a major step in the firm’s long-range vision for a new mixed-use destination north of downtown. The six-story, 304-unit luxury community anchors the emerging White Oak District, a four-block-bysix-block, pedestrian-friendly zone
planned for Keene and Main streets in Houston’s Woodland Heights.
“At Tempo at White Oak, we’ve designed a community where creativity and music are woven into everyday life, and residents can easily experience the energy of living in one of the city’s most vibrant emerging entertainment districts,” said Chris Yuko, managing director of development at Marquette Companies. “There are not many, if any, new market-rate apartment developments in this vicinity,

Republic Boot Company, the family-run maker of bespoke cowboy boots favored by Houston notables, has swapped rent checks for a deed.
The artisan brand confirmed it has purchased the 10,578-square-foot retail strip at East 11th and Studewood, the site of its flagship showroom and workshop since 2019. Real-estate brokers involved in the deal say the price ranks among the year’s larger commercial transactions inside the Heights.
“Taking ownership of our flagship retail location in the Heights not only represents a significant milestone for Republic Boot Company but also pays homage to my father’s legacy,” owner Chris Conrad said. “We are excited to reaffirm our presence in the Heights community while planning our expan-

Good God, Nadine’s — part cocktail lounge, part Southern garden party — swung open its doors at 33 Waugh Drive (just south of the Heights proper) on May 27, giving the area a new spot for “big flavors, strong drinks, and good energy,” according to co-owner Billy Trainor.
Conceived by Trainor and business partner Kyle Wiebe, owners of Verdegreens Farms, the 4,000-square-foot venue blended three settings: a moody, art-filled interior
bar with brass and tile accents; an air-conditioned, French-door patio; and a fully alfresco garden under striped fabrics and tropical greenery. Gin Design Group layered deep greens, navy, saffron and burgundy with vintage furniture and mid-century-meetsSouthern-Gothic touches to drive home the “eccentric-aunt” personality the owners envisioned. The drinks menu, built around frozen and craft cocktails plus wines on tap, led the concept. Highlights included the citrus-and-herb “Houstonian,” the floral “Queen Charlotte,” the rice-clari-

In Greater Houston, 41 percent of children enter kindergarten unprepared—a staggering statistic with longterm implications for the city’s economic and social future. But one local organization is working to change that.
Since 1987, Collaborative for Children has been on a mission to ensure every child in Houston, regardless of zip code, is ready to thrive from day one of school. With a laser focus on the ages 0-5—the most formative years of a child’s life— the organization delivers critical resources and support to early childhood educators, parents, and communities to bridge the kindergarten-readiness gap.
sion into other markets. We look forward to serving our loyal customers and new clients alike.”
Like so many of the discreet hidden gems in the historical Houston Heights, residents driving past could easily blink and miss the storefront and all the treasures that lay behind it. And, what a tragedy that would be. Conrad, who is a fifth generation Houstonian and whose grandparents were raised in the Heights with a local lineage dating back to the early 1900s, founded Republic Boot Co. in 2011. He is a former energy industry executive who traveled extensively internationally. The inspiration for Republic Boot Co., he said, was a direct result of those travels, the people he met and a heightened understanding of their perceptions and expectations about Texas
“Our work is about more than just early education,” said Jamie K. Sanders, Heights resident, CPA, and Executive Board Member. “It’s about building a stronger Houston—one child at a time.” Changing the System from the Ground Up Collaborative for Children’s programs are wide-reaching, data-driven, and designed to meet children where they are—literally. Their Collab-Lab, a mobile classroom, travels throughout the Greater Houston area bringing handson, STEAM-based learning (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Mathematics) to families with limited access to high-quality child care. From social-emotional development to early literacy and math, the mobile unit provides engaging, interactive instruction to
fied “Mango Sticky Rice,” and a frozen Serrano Pineapple T&T finished with pineapple-serrano syrup. Trainor and Wiebe’s kitchen, run with a pan-Gulf mindset that pulled from Creole, Cajun, Caribbean, Mexican, Vietnamese and Deep-South traditions, pushes “playful, elevated” comfort foods. A rotating raw bar, nightly Blue Plate specials such as Meatloaf Wellington and Pho-Spiced Pork Chops, and shareable dishes like the Prawn Party trio joined staples such as hand-cut beef-tallow fries, smashburgers and classic po-boys.
“We wanted to create the kind of place where you instantly feel at home — whether you’re in flip-flops or dressed to the nines,” Trainor said. “No silver cloches, no pretense…great hospitality comes with laughter, maybe a little profanity, and a vibe that invites you to stay a while.” Good God, Nadine’s plans to operate daily from 4 p.m. to midnight with happy hour every day from 4-7 p.m. and an allday Sunday brunch set to launch soon.

Four ground-level “live-work” residences give entrepreneurs storefront exposure along Keene Street.
“The live-work apartments are perfect for a resident who would like to run a business where they see clients from the convenience of their home,” Yuko said, listing barbers, designers and consultants among potential users. “Houston is a leading market for small-business growth, and Tempo at White Oak is one of the few buildings to offer this kind of space.”

Marquette’s broader blueprint for the White Oak District advanced
help kids build the foundation they need to succeed.
The organization also partners with more than 125 childcare centers, helping them become Centers of Excellence —model facilities that combine researchbacked business practices with 21st-century learning strategies. These centers receive ongoing training and curriculum support, including a special focus on emotional intelligence and problem-solving skills for children.
“COVID really opened my eyes,” Sanders said. “When quality, affordable child care disappeared overnight, families like mine had to find new ways to survive. It made me deeply aware of just how fragile our system can be—and how essential Collaborative for Children’s work really is.”
Data, Donors, and a Big Vision
earlier this spring when the Houston Planning Commission approved approximately 20,000 square feet of new commercial space on the 2600
block of Keene, just south of White Oak Music Hall. The one-story development—targeted to open in 2026— will introduce bars, restaurants,
coffee shops and other retail across the street from Tempo. Rebel Retail Advisors is handling leasing.
“The White Oak District is emerging as one of the city’s hottest destinations,” Yuko said at the time of the approval. “With the addition of this mixed-use area to the south of the Little White Oak Bayou, we are meeting demand for new rental, restaurants and retail among residents who are drawn to this neighborhood’s nightlife, proximity to outdoor activities and convenience to downtown Houston.”
Tempo itself includes two firstfloor retail bays still available and is linked to White Oak Music Hall and the new Woodlands Social bar via a newly built sidewalk network. The community sits a short walk from METRORail’s Quitman/Near Northside station, one stop north of downtown.
Marquette’s Houston footprint
The Illinois-based developer has spent more than two decades in the Houston region. Recent projects include Catalyst Houston downtown; Forth at Navigation in the East End—named 2022 New Development Property of the Year by the Houston Apartment Association—and The Sylvan, a 300-home build-to-rent neighborhood in The Woodlands. Marquette also owns and renovated East End Lofts.
Property management at Tempo at White Oak is handled by awardwinning Marquette Management. Leasing is underway, with rents unannounced; prospective residents can tour studio, one- and two-bedroom model homes by appointment. For more information, visit tempoatwhiteoak.com.
“When I joined the board in 2022, nearly all our funding came from federal and state grants,” she said. “We’ve worked hard to diversify our donor base, which now includes nearly 50 percent private contributions. That kind of financial independence allows us to innovate and focus where the need is greatest.”
Collaborative for Children’s long-term vision is bold: ensure every child in Houston is school-ready by age five.
Rather than relying on assumptions, the organization collects and analyzes realtime data from its partner centers and mobile programs. These insights inform everything from teacher training to parent engagement strategies, allowing Collaborative for Children to adapt quickly and effectively. Sanders, who serves as vice chair of the Audit and Finance Committee, is especially proud of the nonprofit’s shift in funding strategy.
With initiatives like Collab Kid U at Rice University and an expanding network of donor-supported programs, the organization is laying the groundwork for a better future for all Houstonians.
A Community E ort
Whether through volunteering, donating, or spreading the word, Collaborative for Children believes everyone has a role to play.
“Houston’s future workforce, leaders, and citizens are in preschool right now,” Sanders said. “If we want to see a stronger, smarter city, it starts with helping every child succeed before they even walk through a classroom door.”

– I am tying down my chairs, tables and spittoons and so should you because it’s hurricane season. I can tell because FEMA has tossed out the first life preserver. Yes, it’s that time of the year when Southeast Texas becomes the lead story on national TV: “Houston is drowning, Sugar Land is at high tide, and we can’t find Galveston. But first, Breaking News! At the Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs trial….”
By now, most of us know the drill, but for you thousands of newcomers who think Houston was originally called Hughes Town for local weird billionaire Howard Hughes, the Astrodome shelters us from falling asteroids and Allen Parkway is named for a former mayor, let me update you. Also, and this is very important for everyone, we face some significant changes in this season of fear and trepidation (and no, I’m not talking about the Texas Legislature).
THE TOPICS.

First, preparations: You need to stock up on water. Go to the store and buy lots of bottled water. Or you can go to the nearest Spec’s and buy lots of vodka. It looks just like water but tastes better.
opener when there is no electricity can be humbling. Each year on TV we see impending storm stories with customers frantically lined up at a Home Depot to buy plywood to nail over their windows, and each year I wonder: what did they do with the plywood they bought the previous year? Check your flood insurance. You cannot wait until a hurricane comes down your street to buy a policy. My flood insurance company, Delay & Denial, Inc., requires a lead time – like 2 years. Thinking of fleeing? Don’t bother trying to get a hotel room anywhere this side of San Antonio, they’re full. Take a tip from
your U.S. senator and reserve a plane ticket to Cancun.
Our favorite power company, CenterPoint Lunacy, (motto: “Patience is a virtue”) keeps running ads telling us that, unlike Beryl and the derecho and when there’s a heavy dew or the temperature gets above 80, they are prepared. CenterPoint has a truck and two-man crew standing by in Waco and they now have three – yes, THREE – gerbils on treadmills. If CenterPoint won’t tell you where you can find power to run your grandfather’s dialysis machine, check with Whataburger. The Texas National Guard is busy stringing barbed wire in Eagle Pass. President Donald Trump, declaring “No transgenders in the military!” has disbanded the Salvation Army. What are your chances that a hurricane will hit Southeast Texas? About 100 to 110 percent. Actually, it depends on who is doing the predicting. (Translation: No one knows.) The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (or NOAA Telling) is predicting 13 to 19 named storms this season. AccuWeather predicts 13 to 18 named storms, with 7 to 10 hurricanes and 3 to 5
major hurricanes (Category 3 or higher). The Weather Company forecasts 19 storms, with 9 hurricanes and 4 major hurricanes. Colorado State University also anticipates 17 named storms, including 9 hurricanes and 4 major hurricanes. I’ve always wondered why a university located in Fort Collins, Colorado, is in the hurricane prediction biz. Maybe Rice or UH predicts snow avalanches. When is the most likely time for us to get hit by a hurricane? Well, each year the official season begins on June 1. It’s officially over at the end of November, although I don’t recall any Thanksgiving Day football games being cancelled due to a hurricane. Around here, Beryl hit on a July 8 but it seems the end of August and the first part of September are the hot spots. The Galveston Storm hit on Sept. 8, 1900. Incidentally, the quartermaster of the U.S. Army reported back to Washington: “Galveston is destroyed beyond its ability to recover.” Goodbye, Galveston. Hello, Houston. Harvey visited us August 25, 2017. It’s still around. I know because my neighborhood’s

suit against the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is still in the courts. (They opened the Barker Reservoir floodgates to prevent a flood.) Maybe in repayment my grandchildren will receive a tank. In Harris County — which has received nearly half of the state’s National Flood Insurance Program payouts — more than 78 percent of homes are uninsured. What about names? This year we begin with Andrea then Barry and Chantal and all the way to Van and Wendy which will be, if necessary, our 21st storm. Huh? But there are, I think, 26 letters in our alphabet. Storms are given in alphabetical order, but there are no Q, U, X, Y or Z hurricanes because there are not enough usable names that begin with those letters. Earlier I mentioned there are some significant changes for this season. I call it Hurricane Chain Saw or, when we get devastated, the Texas Chain Saw Massacre. Elon Musk has depleted the ranks of NOAA and its National Hurricane Center. It’s just as well. On their radar they could only find the Gulf of America. Not to worry. The
hurricane center still has its crack storm staff on the beach and on the alert. His name is Charlie, but he takes off every summer explaining, “It’s too dangerous out there.” We still have Mary Jo. She sits in an abandoned lighthouse with lanterns, ready to warn: “Two if by sea!” So how do we know if a storm is coming up the Houston Ship Channel? Check the flag on your flagpole. If the flag is drooping, no wind. When the flag flutters, a breeze. Standing straight out? It’s windy. When the flag is missing, time to leave. When the flag pole is missing, it’s too late. Look at the bright side. No power means you won’t have to watch the Diddy Combs trial.

Rock, Lights, and Lasers—ARTECHOUSE Houston amplifies the art of experience
By LISA MORALES
The Leader News Contributor
I wasn’t quite sure what to expect as I walked through the doors of ARTECHOUSE Houston. Tucked just off the M-K-T Trail at 600 W. 6th Street, the space initially feels modest—like a modern gallery with a sleek bar, curated gift shop, and lobby that suggests you’re in for a quiet, possibly tech-forward stroll through digital art. But don’t be fooled. What lies beyond is anything but average. As a first-time visitor, I was there for AMPLIFIED, the venue’s current headline exhibit in partnership with the magazine Rolling Stone What I didn’t realize was that ARTECHOUSE is not your traditional art space—it’s an immersive, high-concept digital playground that aims to merge technology, storytelling, and sensory stimulation. And they do it well. Before the main show, visitors are encouraged to explore an installation called
Intangible Forms—a mesmerizing experience that makes you feel like you’ve stepped onto the set of a scifi epic. This laser-powered installation is moody, hypnotic, and strangely meditative. Blurring the line between art and atmosphere, it fills a cavernous gallery with choreographed light, strobes, haze, and kinetic motion. After wandering through the laser light maze, I grabbed a drink from the bar and browsed the gift shop, where you can also snap a photo in front of an Amplified -themed backdrop à la red-carpet moment.
Then it was time for the main event.
AMPLIFIED is a 50-minute deep dive into the history, sound, style, and soul of rock ‘n’ roll. Narrated by actor and musician Kevin Bacon, the show uses ARTECHOUSE’s jaw-dropping 270-degree, floor-to-ceiling digital canvas and 18K-resolution visuals to create a sonic and visual time machine. Expect to be surrounded—literally—by over
1,000 photographs and 200 videos, all woven together to tell the story of a genre that reshaped music and culture. You’ll see raw footage, studio sessions, album covers, behind-the-scenes snapshots, and the beginning concept for the magazine that helped shape rock’s visual legacy. It’s loud, immersive, and—if you’re a fan of rock history—it takes you back to primetime Blondie, Joan Jett and the Blackhearts, The Beatles and many more groundbreaking bands. From the icons and instruments to the hair, fans, and fashion, Amplified celebrates the beautiful chaos of the music industry in a way that’s both nostalgic and fresh.
A few minor notes: the seating, a mix of bleachers and center benches, could be more comfortable for a nearly hour-long show. I was also looking for The Dave Matthews Band among the 1,300 Rolling Stone covers featured in the show, but the man was nowhere to be found even though he has
graced the cover three times. Disappointing. ARTECHOUSE has been around since 2015 and is known for its genre-bending approach to digital and experiential art. The Houston location spans 26,000 square feet and serves as a stage for global artists pushing the limits of tech and creativity. Whether it’s extended reality (XR), immersive light shows, or large-scale interactive exhibits, this space is built for awe.
If you haven’t yet experienced ARTECHOUSE— or are simply looking for a unique way to spend an evening—consider this your sign. Tickets for AMPLIFIED start at $39 for adults and $29 for kids, and the show is on view through the summer. It’s a reminder that art can move you not just emotionally, but physically—through sound, through light, and sometimes, through lasers. Visit www.artechouse.com for tickets and more information.

“In 1994, I went to Russia as a U.S. ambassador. The experience inspired me to try new things. I also lived in Italy, Japan, Korea and Australia,” Conrad shared of his jour-
ney. “The way they saw Texas and the way that I was seeing their culture inspired me to do something very cool for our own Texas culture -- creating something that people wouldn’t let go of as the times changed. I saw the need to really differentiate ordinary Texas western-themed commodities and truly unique products and services.”
Conrad, a mechanical engineer with an MBA, said his first step was the game plan. “I’ve got this hybrid thing

Meet Jaz, a resilient dog with a heart of gold! This brave warrior was found as a stray, raising her pups on the streets, when some kindhearted people noticed that she needed medical attention for her paw. After a visit to the vet, it was determined that Jaz’s leg needed to be amputated. Throughout this process she has shown nothing but incredible spirit and strength, and now that she’s fully recovered, Jaz is ready to nd a loving forever home.
This one-of-kind girl is as charming as they come. She loves meeting new people and is super affectionate! One of the most striking things about Jaz is her stunning appearance. With one blue eye and one brown eye, she has a gaze that is just as captivating as her shiny white coat.
Jaz’s past hasn’t been easy, but she’s ready to embrace the future with love and admiration for her forever family. If you’re looking for a dog with a big heart and a beautiful soul, Jaz might just be perfect for you. Consider adopting this lovely lady and let her show you what unconditional love truly looks like!

going for me. I’m able to solve lots of problems from the technical perspective. And then I’m building supply chains at the same time,” he said. To learn more about the custom products, he spent time with the late Rocky Carroll, a famous Garden Oaks bootmaker. Carroll, the owner of RJ’s, had outfitted seven U.S. presidents in custom boots. Conrad also spent time at the famous Palace Boots downtown, before it closed permanently. It’s where he said he salvaged numerous ‘lasts’ (boot-making molds) used to decorate his place.
Conrad decided the 10,000+ SF retail space that they had been leasing in the Heights was the perfect location to grow the business and become their headquarters. There was an immense aesthetic and historical attraction to the site. However, there were also lending obstacles, related to environmental issues dating back years ago. Still, Conrad was undeterred in his vision and it recently finally came to fruition when the company took ownership of its home on 11th St.
An Immersive BootMaking Experience
The moment a patron walks through the front doors, he or she becomes immersed in a
completely different place and time. There is a showroom showcasing all the wares: boots, belts, hats, clothing and more. But, moving from room to room, customers also see rows of beautiful leather creations and much of the actual work-in-progress being performed in real-time. Republic Boot Co. has used their expansive retail space, the majority of which they occupy, to provide ‘stock’ boots, a ‘hat bar’, leather-crafting areas, and rooms dedicated to the formation and creation of their distinctive custom boots.
“As you come into the boot shop, you enter the main showroom that shows the different products that we have. We have our stock boots, offthe-rack,” Conrad said. “But, we’re known primarily for our custom boots.”
There is a need for both, he said, because of the time it takes to craft the latter. Custom boots, he explained, take about seven to nine months to handcraft.
With the closing for the Heights flagship location complete, crews wasted little time knocking down interior walls to enlarge two fast-growing lines of business: a full-service hat bar—where patrons can shape, brand and embellish custom felts—and a private event venue aimed at corporate groups, wedding par-
ties and Houston’s constant stream of rodeo soirées. The build-out will also carve out more bench space for the bootmakers who hand-stitch the exotics and full-grain leathers seen on customers such as Jim “Mattress Mack” McIngvale, Texans owners Cal and Hannah McNair, and rapper Paul Wall.
Boots for the People
Undeniably, Republic Boot Co. has designed boots for famous sports figures, business icons and entertainers. They even outfitted (from boots to uniform) the highly-publicized 13-year-old cancer patient, Devarjaye Daniel, recently sworn into the Secret Service, following numerous honorary deputizations.
”The celebrity aspect is enjoyable,” Conrad said, “but so are other stories. The people that we make boots for are really fascinating and they span generations. We had a Vietnam vet with terminal cancer. His son said he was dying and requested that we have custom boots made for him to be buried in. They brought him here and loved the whole experience. He had his last drink of whiskey here (the outfit also has a lounge and small performance stage) and just weeks later, he passed away. We had worked day and night, racing against time, but
we did it so that he could be buried in his boots.”
Conrad said he doesn’t like the word “sell” when it comes to his company’s boots.
“I prefer to think of what we do as providing an education,” he said. “Some customers choose from our vast selection of hides. Others prefer to bring their own. We met some ‘gator guys’ that hunt right here in Anahuac. Anahuac is just east of Houston along the Trinity River and is known as the Alligator Capitol of Texas. We came up with the idea to put together hunts for our customers, so that they could secure their own hides.”
Conrad explained that Republic Boot Co. secures the harvest tags and coordinates the alligator hunts, then sends the hides to be tanned and processed before turning them into custom footwear for clients. Conrad said interest “went viral” as soon as the excursions were announced, but the experience is tightly limited because gator season runs only from Sept. 11-30. “As with everything we do, we try to make it a special customer experience and do it right,” he added.
A Done Deal
Alison Sewell of Compass represented Republic Boot Company in the acquisition of Republic Boot Co.’s address at 1133 E 11th St, while Justin Miller of Marcus & Millichap negotiated on behalf of the seller. Financial terms were not disclosed, but sources close to the transaction cite a sale price in line with premium Heights frontage.
Understanding your client’s business context is critical, so Conrad felt it was a pleasant irony that Sewell is quite the cowgirl herself and is affiliated with The Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo, Saltgrass Trail Ride, and TSCRA. “I could never have done all of this on my own,” Conrad said of the purchase. “It was a very stressful time. But with God’s blessings and everyone’s support, we pulled it off at the very last minute.” Find Republic Boot Co. online at republicbootcompany. com.
