The "Public School Stadium" will not sound very familiar to any Houstonian born after 1958.
This stadium, located on the University of Houston campus, was renamed to "Jeppesen Stadium" in 1958.
It was renamed once more to "Robertson Stadium" and remained so until its demolition in 2012.
In 2013, the TDECU Stadium was built in its place.

At a Glance
- The plant is near #ShepherdTexas, about 50 miles northeast of #Houston.
- Anyone within a one-mile radius was advised to shelter in place.
- Winds were blowing about 10 to 20 mph toward the northeast.
"Diesel and flammable liquids were burning, KHOU-TV reported. The station cited Sound Resource Solutions president Geoff Harfield as saying the materials burning were not toxic, but a news release from neighboring Polk County noted records filed by the plant indicate it has housed turpentine, sulfuric acid, xylene and other chemicals 'known to have acute toxicity.'
"Blowing toward Polk County, to the north of #SanJacinto. People there were told to stay inside and turn off their HVAC systems. At least one public school there was evacuated and others were sheltering in place."
#Houston’s mayoral election is headed to a runoff between Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee (D-Texas) and state Sen. John Whitmire (D-Texas).
The runoff is set for Dec. 9. Neither Whitmire nor Jackson Lee passed a threshold of 50 percent of the vote. Whitmire secured 43 percent, while Jackson Lee, who would be Houston’s first Black female mayor, got 38 percent. #Texas https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/4299339-houston-mayor-election-jackson-lee-whitmire-runoff/
I did change my vote for mayor back to SJL last minute. John Whitmire just doesn’t really seem to support the issues I care about at all.
Neither option are great. Just get out there and vote!

I voted early tonight. On my ballot are 14 #TX state propositions, one county proposition, two city of #Houston
propositions, and races for mayor, city controller, and several city council seats.
I sent the following email to the county clerk's office.
----
I lined up to vote shortly before 7:00 pm tonight, October 30 at [location redacted] I used the ATI (audio/tactile interface).
Two different poll workers harassed me while allegedly trying to help. The first one tried to tell me I was in the settings menu and not the ballot. I tried to explain that I was changing the speed because it was talking too slow. The poll worker (I assumed it was a poll worker) said it wouldn't go any faster (he was wrong, I always use the ATI and I /know/ how it works).
So, I found the setting to turn off the screen, with the idea that I could vote in peace. Except, a man with a tag hanging around his neck kept trying to tell me the screen was stuck. He had no business looking at my screen while I was voting. Period.
I felt totally validated in turning the screen off.
I am a PJ [Presiding Judge] on Election Day - I assume both of these chuckleheads attended the same training as the rest of us. If the State of Texas thinks I am capable of voting, poll workers need to honor that and only offer help if asked. It should go like this: Poll worker asks, "Would you like any help?" and when I answer, "No," they should move along.
When I went to harrisvotes.com to file a complaint, I found a link in the "Notice to Voters with Disabilities" (https://files.harrisvotes.com/harrisvotes/prd/docs/VotingInfo/NOTICE%20TO%20VOTERS%20WITH%20DISABILITIES%20-%202021.pdf), however, the link does not go to the complaint form.
It doesn't even go to the address shown, and if it was in an email and I tried to open the link, I would get a suspicious link warning. The text of the link is https://harrisvotes.com/VotingInfo?lang=en-US#VoterswithDisabilities, though if you open it, it tries to load
