Good Morning & Happy Friday! 🌞
We made it to Friday! And today is National Food Bank Day, a good reminder that some of the most important work in a community often happens quietly — neighbor helping neighbor, one bag, one box and one meal at a time.
Our local food pantries, volunteers, organizations and generous residents help make sure a difficult season doesn't have to be faced alone.
So as we head into the weekend, here's to the people who give, the people who serve, and communities that look out for one another. 💙
Have a wonderful Friday and a great weekend!

This Isn't Just Another Patio Cover
There's always one backyard on the street everyone talks about. This time, make it yours.
A Hansø pergola isn't the same patio cover everyone else has - engineered for up to 167 mph winds, 65 PSF snow load, and four-season durability, built from T6 aerospace-grade aluminum. More than decoration. A real structure, built to actually last.
This Labor Day, make a Hansø pergola yours for less: save 35% on Horizon Smart and Pro+ pergolas. Every Horizon and Pro+ purchase includes a FREE Hansø ProCheck Care™ 10-Year Plan — worth $950.
Everyone else settled for the same flimsy patio cover. This one is built to last.

Coffee With a Cop Offers a Casual
Chat With Baytown Officers
Baytown residents are invited to pull up a chair and have Coffee with a Cop on Monday, September 7th, at 11 a.m. at Starbucks, 8535 Hwy. 146.
Members of the Baytown Police Department’s Crime Prevention Unit will be on hand for an informal conversation with the community. There’s no agenda — residents can ask questions, share concerns or simply spend a little time getting to know some of the officers who serve Baytown.
And since it’s happening at Starbucks, you can take care of your community conversation and your caffeine fix at the same time. ☕👮
SH 146 Traffic Improvements
to Add New Turn Lanes at I-10
Drivers who regularly travel through the busy SH 146 and I-10 intersection will soon see construction as TxDOT begins a $4.4 million turn lane expansion project Tuesday, September 8th.
The project will add dual left-turn lanes on SH 146, designed to improve traffic flow through the intersection. Initial construction is scheduled from 8 p.m. to 4 a.m., when crews will remove curbs and a portion of the median north of I-10.
As the project progresses, drivers can expect a combination of daytime and nighttime work and changing traffic conditions. Construction is expected to continue through fall 2027.
Motorists should allow extra travel time and use caution when traveling through the work zone. TxDOT notes that construction schedules are weather permitting and subject to change.
