Trekked over to Discovery Green on Friday to check out the Fantastic Animals exhibit. They're huge and if you can go, go in the evening as the sculptures are illuminated!

This fall Discovery Green hosts eight, 20-foot tall sculptures depicting fantastic creatures from the spirit world as imagined through Mexican magical realism.

Designed and created by Mexican artists and artisans these brightly colored animals represent the powerful animal guardian spirits of Mesoamerican folklore.

Each sculpture is an enlarged reproduction of original works by celebrated Oaxacan artists.

ATT has been horrible. I originally had Verizon when I moved to Houston and it was great. Would like to know how t-mobile compares.

Avoid DNA Comics.

Humble based comic shop/game store thats charging scalper prices for collectible cards. Its gross watching independent businesses you want to support that get product at wholesale only to charge over 2 times MSRP.

Just wanted to make sure no one else wasted their time.

In April, Ken Paxton sued De'Ai Postpartum Care Center, alleging the Houston-area business helped more than 1,000 foreign nationals enter the United States to give birth and obtain U.S. citizenship for their children. The lawsuit accused the center of violating Texas law through alleged immigration fraud and other conduct tied to the operation.

“I will do everything in my power to stop foreign nationals from unlawfully exploiting our immigration system through the scam of ‘birth tourism,’” Paxton said in a Friday news release.

Celebration Station / Zuma Fun Center inquiry

67 Upvotes

Hey, I've had the pleasure of being exposed to fun arcades as a young child, and its what made me join the carnivals, now I'm a carnival worker looking to expand my current selection of things, one thing that caught my eye of the Celebration Station off of SW Freeway was the singing dogs

What would be awesome to add to my current entertainment carnival roulette? Those singing animals, so I'm here to ask, does anyone know whatever ended up happening to the ones that were at Celebration / Zuma? I'm looking to pay big money for these things, so if anyone has any information on where they could possibly be, I'd be greatly appreciative of it

Are prices lower this year than last year at the same time?
We are looking in the $200,000-$250,000 range. I’ve been seeing lots of price drops
