This month, Brazos Bookstore partners

Rice Village to the Heights) for its

Scavenger Hunt! Throughout the
month, Waldo will be hiding in 19
local businesses. Families can pick up
a Find Waldo Local card at any of
those businesses and then go find
Waldo at each place for a chance to
win prizes at the Find Waldo Finale

A little over 33 miles outside of Houston at
Fulshear’s Cross Creek Ranch is a sustainable tree farm marking its 10th year with about
2,500 trees of varying sizes and varieties which,
when mature, will all be transplanted into developed areas of the master-planned community. The
community offers a country feel close enough to
the comforts of Katy, but we love the attention
given to 40 acres of land slated for development
late in the community’s timeline, used for a sustainable purpose. And meanwhile, Uptown
Houston relocated a 75,000-pound, 30-foot
Southern Live Oak to the corner of the 610 feeder
and Post Oak Boulevard. Eight hundred Live Oak
trees are being custom grown for future installation on Post Oak Boulevard. The project is estimated to take three years to complete and will convert
Post Oak Boulevard into a beautifully designed,
canopy-lined grand boulevard with landscaped
pedestrian environments, while preserving existing
automobile lanes. They are working with Trees for
Houston to preserve, donate and relocate trees.
Smart and beautiful, right!?
