Pic of the Day

Houston Heights on a sunny afternoon. As picturesque a place as you can find in Houston.

Houston Heights, a suburb of Houston four miles north of the downtown area in central Harris County, was built on and named for its site on high land, bordered by White Oak Bayou. It was on the Missouri, Kansas and Texas railway line. The townsite in 1872 stood sixty-two feet above sea level and 1½ miles from Houston's Grand Central depot.
