Ty's Take
Wonder City's new play space opening up here in Houston is the kind of thing that catches you off guard until you realize how much we needed it. Kids running around a place built just for them, exercising their imaginations instead of their thumbs, and parents getting a few minutes to sit on a bench and talk to their neighbors. It's the small infrastructure that holds a town together, the reason somebody picks Houston to raise their family instead of somewhere else. Meanwhile, the sheriff's office has had its hands full this week with drug and gun charges across the county, reminding us that whatever good we're building, there's always work to keep it standing.
