In a city more famous for its growth than its dedication to historic preservation , a property like 109 Stratford Street, listed last month for $2.4 million, can feel like a rarity. The gated Montrose mansion is not just very old compared to other properties on the market—it is listed by the Harris County Appraisal District as being built in 1910, though it may have been 1909, according to listing agent Gayle Kennedy of Keller Williams Realty Metropolitan —it sits on three full lots in the middle of the Avondale East historic district and retains much of its historic style and even some original architectural details. For example, once visitors get beyond the imposing neoclassical columns that frame expansive porches off both the first and second floors, they reach a leaded glass door with side panels that Kennedy says are most likely original to the house. Inside, a formal living room still has the original marble fireplace—one of three in the home—and light fixtures as … [Read more...] about Historic 113-year-old Montrose mansion searches for its sixth owner

More than 21,000 unexpected pollution releases by Texas companies have released over 400,000 tons of air pollution in Texas from 2016 to 2022, and companies in less than 1% of these cases have been forced by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality to find the root cause and take preventive action, according to a new report . The report by the Environmental Integrity Project, dubbed the “The Polluter’s Playbook — How Loopholes and Lax Enforcement Harm Air Quality in Texas,” claims that the TCEQ has not been doing enough to hold companies accountable for unexpected pollution releases. The study focused on pollution that is unexpectedly released during an accident, a facility shutdown or startup or during maintenance. Such emissions are separate from what companies are allowed to release under their TCEQ permits. The report found that only 119 out of 21,769 unplanned emissions events were designated “excessive” by the TCEQ. Tagging an event as “excessive” means that … [Read more...] about Report: Texas fails to hold repeat polluters accountable for unexpected emissions

This is a carousel. Use Next and Previous buttons to navigate 3 FRANKFORT, Ky. (AP) — Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear's veto of a bill aimed at transgender health care puts the state in the middle of a national fight, but with more immediate consequences as the state's looming election offers an early test on the state-by-state assault on gender-affirming care for minors. The veto issued Friday set off competing messages likely to be repeated until the November election — when Bluegrass State voters will decide whether to reward the Democratic governor with a second term or hand over the governor's office to a Republican. No one seems to know yet how much weight voters will put on the transgender issue with the general election more than seven months away. The legislation in Kentucky is part of a widespread movement, with Republican state lawmakers in other states approving extensive measures that restrict the rights of LGBTQ+ people this year, from … [Read more...] about Veto puts Kentucky in thick of fight over transgender rights

“RISHI is doing brilliantly,” a senior Tory MP told me last night. “He’s knocking Keir Starmer all over the park. “Who knows, we might be heading for an October ­General Election. Why wait until we run out of time?” Considering the turmoil of recent months, this would be a remarkably upbeat assessment of Tory fortunes by any rent-a-quote Government lackey. But it is especially telling, coming from one of the 22 diehard Brexit rebels who defied the whips and voted against the PM last week. The overwhelming Commons backing for the PM’s EU deal on Northern Ireland was “a sensational victory”, added this ex-Cabinet minister. Tory tails may not be up, but they are wagging. read more on rishi sunak YOB JOBS Yobs to be made to wash police cars under PM's plan to tackle antisocial behaviour HAIL HARRY PM hails England record goal-scorer Harry Kane as 'all-time great' in video call For the first time in … [Read more...] about Rishi Sunak is whacking Keir Starmer all over the park and revived jaded Tory appetite for battle

Crack on, PM YOU could be forgiven for thinking yet another crackdown on anti-social behaviour is something we’ve seen many times. Some of the measures put forward by Rishi Sunak today — tougher fines for littering and fly-tipping — are extensions of what has gone before, often to little effect. But a tough new stance against the menace of street begging and a plan to make yobs wear jumpsuits highlighting their behaviour are to be welcomed. The headline-grabber is the ban on hippy crack . Last year experts on the body which advises on drugs misuse insisted that making nitrous oxide illegal would be a disproportionate response to the relative harm it does users. But that failed to take into account what a blight it has become in society.
