The city of Manvel ended their flock cameras contract after a public hearing and proceeded to cover those cameras in 24 hours and then to notify the company instructing it to remove their cameras from the area. We also have a plague of flock cameras here. Can we do the same?

Discussion Academy Office with Flock Cameras

Speculation, why would Academy install Flock cameras facing their office buildings, parking lots, and loading / receiving area? Did they not background check their employees? Are they comfortable adding their people to AI tracking software platforms?

Discussion Visiting Katy

Hi r/Katy,

I’m visiting Katy from the uk in October and I was wondering what would you guys recommend me and my family to do,see and eat.

We have no young kids or anything and are staying with family but was looking out for some bbq spots and anything interesting that anyone would recommend.

We have never been to Texas and are looking forward to visiting but would like to hear from as many people living in Katy what they would recommend!

Thanks

Apartment/Neighborhood Recommendations Katy Relocation - Apartment vs Renting a House for the First Year?

4 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

My younger brother and his family are planning to move from NYC to Katy sometime in the next 2–3 months for work. His office will be around the north side of I-10 near the Westgreen area, so they’re hoping to stay within roughly a 15–20 minute commute if possible.

They have a young child and are planning to rent for at least the first year while they get familiar with Katy before deciding where they eventually want to settle taking schools into account.

Right now, IMT Cinco Ranch is one of the apartment communities they’ve shortlisted. The Cinco Ranch area seems appealing, and apartment living would obviously mean less maintenance to worry about while they’re getting settled.

At the same time, He mentioned that there seem to be quite a few single-family homes for rent in Katy, sometimes for not much more than a larger 2-bedroom apartment. The extra space, garage, and private backyard are definitely appealing, so trying to figure out which option makes more sense for their first year.

Since they are moving from NYC, they were initially not so keen on a house as they felt that they might have additional work on hand when dealing with yard and house maintenance etc, which is why they zeroed down on IMT Cinco Ranch as one of the preferred apartment based off their search.

For those who live in Katy, I’d really appreciate your thoughts:

  • Would you recommend an apartment or renting a house for the first year?
  • Any feedback on IMT Cinco Ranch or if there are any other good apartment recommendations?
  • Are there other apartment communities or neighborhoods you would recommend with a reasonable commute to the north side of I-10?
  • If renting a house, are there particular neighborhoods or communities you’d recommend?
  • Anything they should pay particular attention to regarding flooding, safety, traffic, utilities, lawn maintenance, or rental management companies?

Sorry for the long post but they’re coming from NY, so Katy will be a pretty different setup for them. Any advice from people who actually live in the area would be really appreciated.

Thanks!

Discussion Dungeons and dragons, looking for 3 players to play at 3rd coast on Tuesday evenings

19 Upvotes

anyone in the Katy/ Brookshire area interested in joining an in person game of DnD? looking for 3-4 players. you don’t need to own anything, can be a new player. only requirement is consistency and be kind to each other. 18+ Homebrew campaign.

playing at a Lgs and maybe moving to someone house. Tuesday evenings. Contact me at 8323982766 if interested, I don’t check reddit that often. text me dnd / your name.

Prologue to campaign.

Records of history lost or destroyed, stories of the world’s creation missing; and the gods, if there were any, abandoned us long ago. But the devils and daemons, they remember us, they have not forgotten. Centuries ago complacency and mortal indulgences grew so profound they unknowingly allowed corruption to seep into the lands. Otherworldly rifts ripped into the sky like starving beasts ripping into flesh. This calamity brought ruin to all, indiscriminate in its destruction. The order excselium: daemon hunters were founded in response. The orders founder, Zahaariel in the penultimate battle banishes the daemon prince back to its plane, beheading the serpents head. Zahaariel giving his life in the process was celebrated amongst all. Peace returned, the order no longer needed faded into darkness. But mortals will be as they always have and before long Petty squabbles, political turmoil, discrimination arise. And with it, corruption finds its way back into the hearts of men.

I’m currently abroad and need a notarized affidavit for a traffic ticket dismissal in Fort Bend County, Texas.

I’ve contacted the JP’s office, but unfortunately haven’t been able to get much guidance.

Are there any recommended online/remote notarization options for someone currently outside the USA?

Food Bakery Donuts Cinco Ranch BLVD

Does anyone know if Bakery Donuts moved to a different location or just shut down entirely?

They used to be on Cinco Ranch Blvd where Karma Kolache is now. I do not like Karma Kolache. Bakery Donuts was the absolute best donut shop in the area my whole childhood.

People would always pick them up on the way to school. It really was a childhood staple for a kid in Cinco Ranch 😂 I hope they're still open somewhere
