Show Notes
On Friday's show: We learn what Mayor John Whitmire had to say in his second State of the City address yesterday, laying out his vision for the remainder of his term and promising not to increase taxes, despite the city's budget issues.
And the Houston Texans will soon have a new headquarters for their business operations, part of a planned 83-acre sports, retail, and entertainment district in the Bridgeland community in Cypress.
Also this hour: Five years after the 2021 winter freeze knocked out power across the state for several days, we reflect on some memories of that deadly event and discuss the lessons learned from its effect on the power grid.
Then, we break down The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly of the week.
And, ahead of Valentine’s Day, we talk about a different kind of date -- a “Doggy Date” courtesy of the Houston Humane Society.
