The upcoming bar and restaurant is looking to set itself apart with an expansive menu and creative lunch and dinner options served out of an unassuming warehouse. They’re still working on a pretty impressive, sprawling patio that should be ready to go before the high summer temps hit. Owner Charles Canales tells Eater that he hopes to also offer plenty of veggie dishes, salads and creatively flavored wings here, but that it’s the burgers that will be a highlight.

In 2013 the Civic Club voted in favor to spray for mosquitos. The committee chose Cypress Creek Pest Control, a company that serves over 800 communities in the greater Houston area. Their vehicles are equipped with a ULV (Ultra Low Volume) fog generator designed and built by Cypress Creek Pest Control. Spraying began in June and concluded in early October. Spraying occurred once a week, typically on Thursday evenings. The spraying service is marketing as a mosquito control service, not elimination, which is important to keep in mind in managing expectations. For more information about the company and their mosquito spraying service, visit www.cycreekpestcontrol.com.
Update 2014: Voting to renew services with Cypress Creek Pest Control was approved at the March 28th, 2014 Civic Club Meeting. The civic club members also voted to create a fund that neighbors can donate to for the mosquito spraying to help defray costs.
Update 2015: Voting to renew services with Cypress Creek Pest Control was approved at the March 24th, 2015 Civic Club Meeting. The civic club members also voted to continue a fund that neighbors can donate to for the mosquito spraying to help defray costs.

Give Green in 2014
If your 2014 charitable giving includes giving “green,” consider Houston Parks Board for Jaycee Park at www. houstonparksboard.org. Click on Projects, Past Projects, Jaycee Park, Donate, choose Jaycee Park from the dropdowns and go from there. Private funds were largely responsible for the renovation and shade canopies, as I’m sure most of you know because so many of you and your civic club contributed, and private funds are being used for maintenance needs that public funds do not cover. For example, this past year, the private fund replaced the splash pad bench coating that cracked and fractured, replaced a damaged donor plaque, paid for pruning and landscaping of the crepe myrtles and some trimming of the Seamist trees. For questions about this fund, contact Trent Rondot of Houston Parks Board at (713) 942- 8500 or trent@houstonparksboard.org.
Snow Day in Jaycee Park sponsored by Carolyn Bryant was Dec. 7. It was “iffy” because of the weather but we went ahead with the event and had a good crowd in spite of the extremely cold weather.
The Women of Knitting Hearts raised about $700 at their annual pre-Christmas sale of all handmade items and made 300 Christmas stockings that the Girls-in-Action stuffed with crayons, coloring books and small puzzles. The funds and stockings were used to benefit children in Houston and Mexico.
Knitting Hearts is a women’s outreach ministry that facilitates projects that benefit our local community as well as missions; promotes community friendship and interaction; and offers women of all ages a chance to relax for a few hours a month in a supportive, friendly, non- stressful environment.
Women of all skill levels – and even no-skill levels – are welcome and may participate as much or as little as desired and, if wanted, will receive instruction from the more advanced women who function as teachers for the rest of us. The Christmas stocking project involved cutting an outline from felt. Most women and girls knit or crochet, some do latch-hook, sew, make jewelry and some come to visit with friends and make new friends.
Knitting Hearts meets the first and third Saturday of each month from 10:00 a.m. to noon at Lazybrook Baptist Church, 1822 W. 18th Street. There is no cost and no need to buy supplies. Hope to see you in 2014. If you have questions, contact Mandy at (713) 516-2063 or Darlene at (713) 385-4465.
