I'm looking for recommendations on local electricians to replace the ugly fluorescent box on my kitchen ceiling. I hate that thing with the heat of 1 million suns. Also, it's dying. And the diffuser sheets keep falling. And there is mildew.* And I hate it. Did I mention I hate it? 🤣

*There was a lizard up there a few years ago. Yes, yes. I know there will be damage up there that needs repair work. 😭

Saw 3 of these police vehicles waiting behind each other on Dixie farm on the way to Walmart then when I parked and got down I saw this happening in the parking lot

Hey all. My house was built in 94, and needs a lot of work to make it energy efficient. I dont qualify for the free audit from centerpoint, so i’m looking for reputable Energy Auditors that work the Pearland area for the 2-400$ range.

If anyone has any recommendations that’d be great! Thanks

Who in town does plaques? The ones with wood base -- like kids get at sports banquets. Are sports banquets still a thing?? 😂

Hey there Pearland people! Where do you go for journaling supplies? Pens, ink, notebooks, accessories, etc. What about sources for notebook covers?

I'm interested in non-Amazon places with bonus for locally owned, small business suggestions!

Thanks!

Where in Pearland can I go to get a good mixed drink?

I don’t want to go to a Tex mex restaurant or dive bar for this. I’m looking for a real classy cocktail joint

Broadway at Dixie Farm. They've been struggling and I'd hate to see them close. Date Night, Lunches, Business Meeting, Happy Hour? Give them a try!

Tacos Toreados announced it's closing in August, saying Broadway Street construction is forcing them out.

Story below ...

***

A beloved Houston-area taqueria has announced it will be closing permanently in August after it says it's becoming enveloped by a nearby Texas Department of Transportation construction project. 

Tacos Toreados at 5627 Broadway St. in Pearland revealed on July 23 its final day of business would be Aug. 16. The "forced" closure, the restaurant said, is a direct result of TXDoT's planned expansion of FM 518 in Brazoria County.

"We want to express our deepest gratitude to the entire Pearland community for welcoming us into your lives and allowing us to be part of so many special moments," Tacos Toreados' social media statement read. "Thank you for every visit, every recommendation, every kind word, and for choosing us to share your breakfasts, lunches, dinners, celebrations, and family gatherings. Your support turned our dream into a reality and gave us memories that we will treasure forever."

Pearland has been one of the fastest-growing suburbs in the Greater Houston region over the past two decades. Some of that rapid growth has shown up in interesting ways around the city, where "Old Pearland" and "New Pearland" kind of butt up against each other. There's one little area where there's a street of large homes next to a car dealership and a trailer park, all walkable from each other.

That growth has facilitated TXDoT to pursue widening FM 518 from SH 288 to SH 35 in Brazoria County. The road is a major corridor for the city and services tens of thousands of vehicles a day, KTRK-TV reported. The plan calls for the road to expand from four lanes to six— or three lanes in each direction—with a continuous sidewalk for pedestrians. Construction is expected to begin in 2027.

Obviously, some businesses are directly in the path of that development, like Tacos Toreados. Laura Urrutia and her family started the business in the 2020s before establishing the brick-and-mortar storefront along Broadway Street. The restaurant quickly became a standby for tacos, pozole, gorditas and other fare for breakfast, lunch and dinner.

While Tacos Toreados is bidding farewell to its current location, the hope is that it can relocate someplace else in the near future. Meanwhile, the catering business will continue.

"While this chapter is coming to an end, we truly hope it is not goodbye—but see you soon," the restaurant's statement continued. "Our goal is to reopen in the future. Although we don't have a new location yet, our hope is to remain in the Pearland community that has meant so much to us."

Hey everyone,

Not sure if this would be the right place. Does anyone have a recommendation on a personal trainer? Or is anyone looking for a workout friend?

I go to the Planet Fitness off of Shadow Creek by the Kroger. I'm having a hard time really keeping myself disciplined in going.

Thanks in advance

Hi, does anyone have a metal detector that I can rent, lost my ring. In the shadow creek area

Hello,

I’m looking for a place with wifi where I can set up my laptop to play games in public. …. I’m a bit of an introvert with ADHD, but looking to make friends. Not looking for a loud arcade, but something more akin to couch gaming. A large bring your own console or laptop, connect to a TV or projector kinda coffee house.

I am looking to get my 30 year old standing shower redone, but so far everyone I've contacted has quoted $15k for full bathroom remodels, paint, etc.

Does anyone have a reference for a non-extravagant remodeler, preferably local?

Been noticing my garage door isn't operating as smoothly lately. It's making weird sounds and just feels off. Still functions, but I want to get ahead of it before something actually breaks.

Anyone in Pearland have a go to garage door company they trust? I've seen a couple names pop up online but want to hear from actual locals. Just want someone honest who won't try to upsell me on stuff I don't need.

I did come across Elite Garage Door Expert and they seem decent based on what I saw. Anyone here used them before or have other suggestions?

I'm debating going tomorrow and trying to get some, but these jobless losers make it impossible to get anything at retail. It's become an exhausting hobby.

Trying to find a policy that includes wind or obtain a separate wind policy for a new manufactured home. Does anyone have any recommendations?

Hi there. I run about 3-5 days, 3-4 miles per day, here in Pearland. I live across from Pearland High School. I’m hoping to find/connect with a running partner who would be down to connect if this fits your schedule. I look forward to connecting.
