New Decorative Wraps for 15 METRO Bus Shelters
Westchase District recently installed colorful custom wraps on 15 Houston METRO bus shelters in the area. Most of the shelters can be found on Richmond, Gessner, Briarpark and Briar Forest. They've also been enhanced with solar lighting to make the shelters more pleasant for early morning or late night bus commuters.
Each shelter features a "point of interest" which can be found in Westchase District. Those points of interest include Art Storey Park, the Farmers Market, Robinson Westchase Library and the Westchase District trail system. They're a colorful addition to the District whether you ride the buses or drive your car throughout our neighborhood.

Today (October 3) is National Kale Day!
Yes, there's a day for just about everything, including
National Kale Day. According to Dr. Drew Ramsey, the holiday's founder, modern health depends on eating more whole foods and plants, like kale. A serving of kale has more absorbable calcium than a small carton of milk. Kale possesses phytonutrients, which quell inflammation, improve the liver's detox ability, and can even protect brain cells from stress.
Economical but also accessible, kale is one of the easiest crops for local farmers to grow and the ideal way to celebrate local American farming. So support this superfood by visiting PEAS Farm and Veggies in the Burbs at the market this week and purchase some plant-based power!
