I feel like these places are far and few between these days. Social media has made it virtually impossible to keep anything a hidden gem. The hidden gems are just gems that are old and faded from the spotlight.

There's good pho everywhere. A different type of pho place is Les Baget.

Not so many quirky shops but a cute area of town is the Historic Heights. They've technically got a few unique shops along the strip.

Realistically, what makes Houston special is the diversity - which isn't hidden. You want to explore Houston? Try Indian food. Ethiopian food. Serbian food. Filipino food. Mexican food.

Kelley’s restaurants are old school diner fair with huge portions. Check out their charger than life chicken fried steaks!

I see several posts from people asking how they can help during these times with a few extra $$$ to spend. Here is just one of many ideas.

#stepuptothetable is about helping local restaurants who are struggling during these times. I have seen numerous linkedin posts with videos where people challenge each other to step up to the table & buy meals & gift cards from their community restaurants. A great way for those of us who are more fortunate to support business & keep people employed.

I am not sure who needs to hear this but exactly one year ago, I was at my lowest point in life. Today, I’m the happiest I’ve ever been. Life has truly been a rollercoaster these past few years for me.

I am sharing this to tell you that no matter what you’re feeling right now, it won’t last. Even the happiness I feel right now, I’ve had that stripped from me multiple times. That is LIFE. We have the good and the bad.

Hang in there if times are bad. If things are good, prepare to lose it too.

2. What are other good areas to live in? Safe and would like to be less than 1 hour from Galveston.
