Reminder: Party on the Peninsula Returns March 28 at Baytown Nature Center🎸

Good morning, Neighbors!

Today is World Sleep Day,🥱 and this year’s theme is “Sleep Well, Live Better.” 🛌Sounds great in theory… although most of us probably hit the snooze button ⏰at least once this morning. Still, it’s a good reminder that a good night’s sleep can make a big difference in how the day goes — so if you’re feeling a little sleepy today, just know you’re celebrating the holiday the right way. 😴

Man Arrested After Bomb Squad
Response in Newport Neighborhood

Authorities responded to a report of a possible explosive device in the Newport [Crosby] subdivision after a call about a suspicious item inside a vehicle on Barrett Gable Drive.

Precinct 3 deputies and the Harris County Sheriff’s Office Bomb Squad were called to the scene, and as a precaution, residents living within about 250 feet of the home were evacuated while crews investigated the situation.

After several hours, officials determined the area was safe, and evacuated residents were allowed to return to their homes.

During the investigation, deputies spoke with the homeowner and later determined that the report of the explosive device was not truthful. After gathering the necessary information, deputies contacted the District Attorney’s Office, which accepted a charge of False Report, Induced Emergency.

The homeowner was taken into custody and booked into the Harris County Jail. The charge is a Class A misdemeanor under Texas law.

Lodge at Pine Creek Senior Community
Added to 12 Oaks Portfolio

A senior living community in Baytown is getting new management as 12 Oaks Senior Living expands its portfolio in Texas.

The Dallas-based company announced it will now manage The Lodge at Pine Creek, a 217-unit senior living community offering a range of housing options including independent living, assisted living, memory care, and cottages.

Located on a large campus in Baytown, the community features amenities such as an indoor pool, activity and fitness rooms, courtyards, a pond with walking trails, and multiple dining areas.

12 Oaks officials say the company plans to introduce its high-touch management approach, along with enhanced care programs, expanded wellness and fitness activities, and improvements to dining and common areas.

Company president Greg Puklicz said the organization is excited to return to Baytown after previously operating a community in the area.

The Lodge at Pine Creek is one of the newest senior housing communities in Baytown, which continues to see growth as part of the larger Houston metropolitan area.

He’ll be joined by local favorites Zydeco Jay & Creole Pressure, along with DJ Boris for a night full of music and entertainment.

Best of all, the event is free to attend, with free admission and free parking for everyone. Guests are encouraged to bring lawn chairs, bring friends, and enjoy the evening by the water.

A variety of local food trucks will be on site, and drinks will be available for purchase from Dirty Daiquiri.
