What are your thoughts on Shepherd Park?

We’re specifically interested to get a sense of residential safety, vibes, and local restaurants. I’m also interested to hear about the rec center and anything else community-focused and social.

The homes are charming, the area seems quiet, it has decently close access to retail at Downtown Silver Spring and the new Parks at Walter Reed.

We’re a 30s/50s couple, white, without kids (just a dog - having a yard is important for us). We like taking lots of walks. We currently are living in North Arlington, which is nice—but extremely expensive for SFHs.

Given what has happened today with the overturning of Roe v. Wade, and the possibility that forms of contraception may come under attack next, I’m planning on moving forward with tubal ligation to have birth control that is permanent and does not require continued access to oral, implant, or IUD contraception.

Do you have a recommendation for a physician in Houston for a tubal ligation procedure?

Any advice from your experience locally?

Many thanks in advance.

Edit: Wow, thank you r/Houston for all the great recommendations and resources. I had searched for an existing r/Houston thread on this topic and hadn’t found one. I hope others find this as useful as I have. Thanks!!

I regularly attend reformer classes, and I'm considering purchasing a MOTR to have at home for "rest days" or when I want to keep going after I get home.

Has anyone tried one? Thoughts?

The concert is going right now at Bayou Music Center, I have two extra tickets. Let me know if you're interested, meet you at the door. First come, first serve.

I'll be in Downtown Norfolk for three nights on business. Do you have any suggestions for places to see and don't-miss restaurants? Thanks!

I'm having a bridal portrait session at the end of August and I want to pick a beautiful indoor location. I've lived in Houston my whole life, but I'm having trouble thinking of an appropriate setting for a photo shoot.

Any suggestions, r/houston?

I'm trying to figure out what's a reasonable expectation for catering costs. I'm in Houston, so things are admittedly a bit cheaper than in other places, but I'm wondering what the rest of y'all are spending per person. I'm wanting to serve heavy appetizers that have a southern/Texan/cajun twist yet are still relatively upscale (think ceviche instead of chips and queso). I want to have enough to keep my guests full, too.

Also, any other tips for catering planning would be super helpful. Thanks!
