Mi Tienda, H-E-B's Hispanic spinoff store, opening third Houston location

Good morning. JP at Chron here. Reporter Chyna Blackmon got wind of a permit filing showing a third Mi Tienda location opening in Sharpstown at 7140 Southwest Fwy. Here's the TLDR version:

  • Construction is set to begin on Feb. 22, 2027 and finish by March 8, 2028
  • Estimated cost is around $24,095,000.
  • The project calls for a 99,000 square-foot grocery store.

What's it like living in Houston with a young family?

Hello everyone,

My husband got offered a job in oil and gas in Houston, and we're considering moving there. Haven't decided yet, but considering...

I'm a librarian and our kids are under 6. I speak Spanish, and have lived all over Canada and Europe. Our older kid has been enrolled in a Spanish bilingual school for the past year or so. Wondering what's the best or good area in Houston for a young family and how hard it's to get a job as a public librarian? Best schools and daycares for young children? Food? Culture? Is it hard to make friends?

I'm not super concerned about the heat or the traffic.

Thank you for your input.

Comicpalooza Service Fees

Here's a service fee, on top of your service.

Planning on going to comic palooza this weekend and I thought this was crazy even though I think they've been doing this for a couple of years now. It just shocks me every time I see it.

New Garage Door Price and Installation Quote?

I got quoted around $4,000 all-in for a 16x8 vinyl-back insulated garage door replacement with a new opener. It includes everything like new tracks, spring, cables, etc, installation, removal and disposal of the old door, and a warranty. Is this a reasonable quote?

Bars/clubs that don’t accept over 21 vertical IDs?

I’m turning 21 in a week and I was planning on where I should go for my birthday, and realized that many places these days have a new rule about refusing service to those with vertical IDs despite the cardholder being 21 or older. Obviously I won’t have a horizontal ID on the day of my birthday, I would have to apply for a new one which will probably take a few weeks to arrive, so I was wondering if there were any places that I wouldn’t be able to go to on my 21st. Maybe places are going to be more lax for 21st birthdays, but I’m still curious if anyone here has been refused service anywhere for having a vertical ID. And on that note, what are some places that you guys would actually recommend? Thanks!

Desperately need a car detailer for smelly interior

Very long and disgusting story short, my dog had tummy troubles on a ride home from airport, and I think the smell might kill us all. I've spent 2 hours trying to clean it all out, but it still smells absolutely terrible. Like I'm seriously thinking about leaving the keys in it and seeing what happens.

Failing that, who in town can clean out a leather interior and make it smell at best neutral again?

Shooting range for recreation/first time. Just want to shoot different guns.

Hey all. Visiting Houston for the WC, and while here, my friends and I wanna go to a shooting range and try out different guns. None of us has ever shot a gun before. Any recommendations for ranges that would offer this kinda experience?

Edit: I am staying in the Rice University area

Animal Shelter/Rescue Donations?

Someone at work found a kitten in really bad shape, and we couldn’t find anywhere to take it in time and it passed away this morning.

It’s got me feeling pretty crummy that I couldn’t help more and I have a little extra money right now and want to donate a little to wherever it’s going to actually help strays/lost pets and animals.

Can anyone make a recommendation for a donation that actually will help directly with animals and not be used irresponsibly? It’s hard to find good info on local shelters and rescues/rehabs.

"False Alarm" lockdown at Klein Forest High School

Klein Forest went into lockdown this morning due to shots fired and a gun on the third floor. The school admin released a statement saying it was a false alarm.

These screenshots were provided to me by someone associated with the school.

Just thought they might come in handy for the next school board meeting if any parents are here.

Houston downtown

Those who work in downtown, where do you live and how long is your commute- morning and evening?

Edit: Do you love where you live or do you desire to be somewhere else? (With commute into downtown in mind)

Looking for an authentic Mexican place around the area that serves cherry flavored margaritas. I can't really find anything that serves more than lime or strawberry.
