A Nightlife Scene Blossoms in the Spring Branch District Spring Branch has long been known as a quiet, family-friendly pocket of Houston with a growing food scene and great schools. But when the kids go to sleep, the area wakes up in a different way.

This is from the work demands analysis for District A by the Houston Professional Fire Fighters Association. Since 2018, there has been an increase in fire and EMS incidents. In coordination with TIRZ 17, we are building a new station on Gessner to help meet the needs of the community.

Council Check with Peck highlighting items passed at City Council today.

We extend our heartfelt condolences to our current board and executive committee member, Elizabeth Emery, and her family, on learning of the passing of her mother, Maureen Mulrooney. Maureen served on the SSCA board as both board president (1989/1990) and a director for several terms. She was a vital leader and contributor to our neighborhood and the surrounding community. A pocket park on Hammerly, across the street from Spring Woods Middle School, was named in her honor.
