The Plantersville community and elected officials gathered at the Plantersville Town Hall Monday, Feb. 22, to break ground for an 875-square foot addition. It was 30 years ago that historic-minded community members saved the former Masonic Lodge at 11335 Lodge Lane from becoming a “practice burn” for the local volunteer fire department.

It amazes me to see what has become of the Astrodome. This building, once widely regarded as the “eighth wonder of the world,” has fallen into a severe state of disrepair. The dome long ago stopped being home to Houston’s major sports teams. Now, with no Astros to bang their trash cans, no Oilers to kick in the door (and who now reside in Tennessee), and no longer the host location for the Houston Livestock Show & Rodeo, there is little incentive for the City of Houston to continue paying for its upkeep.
It is Friday afternoon, and I am predicting a very frustrating week ahead. I realize that I have a vivid imagination and that I expect things to go wrong more often than they do. Every New Year’s Eve I sit on the sofa and practically cover my ears expecting the explosion from a Times Square attack to be heard in Plantersville. It never happened.

One of the “mantras” that I recall was “Be-KnowDo,” and it is something that I still see every day.
