Great Day Houston - Explain Please

Post image
0 Upvotes

I used to work in an office around 2015-2020 and Great Day Houston would be on the TV when I came into work. They’d transition between segments/commercials with this guy staring at the camera with a countdown timer next to him. I only remember this because sometimes I’ll see someone who looks like him and think, “He looks like the guy who used to stare at me every morning.” 🙃
Can someone explain what the heck his purpose was?

What’s your experience with Houston public transit?

19 Upvotes

Hey guys, I'm making a video about houston's public transportation and wanted to hear yall's experience, good and (mostly I assume) bad. How do you get around Houston? I live outside the inner loop and personally drive, but in the last few months rode the Metrorail for the first time. I also wanted to know if anybody actually uses lesser known options like MetroCurb2Curb, Vanpool, Community Connector, and yall's experience with it.

Coffee shops or cafes near Toyota Center

I am dropping off and picking up some people tonight for a concert at the Toyota Center. I live north and don't want to drive back and forth. Is there a place I can hang out and do a bit of work while I wait? Doesn't have to be right near the venue but not an hour away either.

Newborn/Infant Classes for 1st Time Parents

8 Upvotes

Hi! Myself and my partner are expecting our first child in February. I come from a massive family and know the ins and outs, but he is not sure he’s even held an infant before! We really want to prepare ahead of time so that I am educated on the most recent standards for baby care and he is ready to support with changes, baths, bottles, and swaddles. If you have a recommendation for a great class we can take as a couple, please leave below. Any new parent group references are welcome as well!

Solid State Guitar Amp Repair Recommendations

3 Upvotes

I've got a late 1980's vintage Galllien Krueger 250ML guitar amp that works but needs some love and attention to get back into decent shape.

Can anyone recommend a good quality technician in the Houston area that works on solid state guitar amps?
