🌮 Not sure where to eat tonight? The Houston Chronicle’s food team built a map that helps you find some of the best restaurants around the Houston area. Just enter an address and see recommended spots nearby, based on the Chronicle’s restaurant guides.

The map covers a wide stretch of the region, from Montgomery County down to Galveston. It includes favorites like sushi, barbecue, and pizza. As critics visit new restaurants and update their guides, the map will update too, helping locals discover great places to eat close to home.

✈️ Spring break travel got off to a rough start at William P. Hobby Airport this week. More than half of scheduled TSA officers called out during a two-day stretch, leaving fewer workers to screen travelers. As crowds grew, security lines stretched through the terminal and some passengers waited up to three hours.

Busy travel periods can make the problem worse. When many passengers arrive but fewer security lanes are open, wait times climb fast. Airport officials say the best move for travelers is simple. Arrive early and give yourself extra time to get through security.

📈 The Houston area has changed fast over the past decade, and new satellite images show just how much. The Houston Chronicle compared older and newer views of places like Fulshear, Bridgeland, Conroe, Atascocita, Iowa Colony, and Colony Ridge to show where open land gave way to neighborhoods, roads, and lakes.

It is a strong reminder of how quickly the region is growing. The project lets readers scroll through before and after images and explore an interactive map to see how development has reshaped the outer edges of metro Houston since 2015.

💵 Many homeowners feel stuck when property tax bills arrive. A new tool launching in April aims to help Harris County residents protest their property taxes without hiring a consultant. The guided platform walks you step by step through the protest process using appraisal district data and real property comparisons.  It will be called TXTAX Texas Property Tax Protest Tool.

The goal is to make the process simpler and more affordable. The tool helps homeowners review property details, compare nearby values, and prepare a stronger protest case if a hearing is needed. For a flat one-time payment, homeowners can use the system to challenge their appraisal and possibly lower their tax bill.

🤝 A new headquarters is coming to The Woodlands. AB Energy USA, the U.S. arm of an Italian energy company, has signed a lease for 11,000 square feet at 9950 Woodloch Forest Drive. The move fills the last open space in the 31-story office tower that was once built for Anadarko Petroleum.

The company plans to begin moving in during the second quarter of this year. AB Energy USA also expects to add 45 jobs in 2026, with more hiring planned in the years ahead. Leaders say The Woodlands offers access to energy industry talent and a strong place for employees to live and work.

🏠 A rare piece of Houston history is now up for sale in Woodland Heights. The home at 411 Bayland Ave. was built in 1910 and has been owned by the same family for the past 36 years. Listed at $2.75 million, it sits on a 10,000 square foot double lot, a size that is hard to find in the inner loop today.

The house blends historic charm with modern comfort, from its wraparound porch and original pine floors to its updated kitchen, four bedrooms, and guest quarters. It is also part of one of Houston’s oldest neighborhoods, giving the next owner a chance to enjoy both a home and a piece of the city’s story.

🔥 Houston keeps moving fast, and there is always something new happening around the city. Stay curious, stay hungry, and keep showing up for the things that matter most. See you tomorrow. – O.B.
