Former Alakazam Toy Store space available. 2,500 sq.ft. Being offered now for $6,000 a month. Maybe it wasn’t because of the unhoused on the mall.

Oddly enough, the best local reporting so far on this lawsuit comes from the Houston Chronicle. Unfortunately, DP reporter Emily Hemphill, who covered this story extensively, moved on. Summary below for those who don’t have access to the HC article. www.houstonchronicle.com/health/artic...

Traffic so bad they've got police directing traffic at the 250/20 intersection. A vehicle hit the Old Ivy Road bridge that's under construction earlier today -- which was already slowing traffic -- and shut down traffic on 29 in both directions. Happy Monday!
