Happy Birthday, Houston!
The City's 185th birthday is today, and we celebrate with Mister McKinney, founder of Mister McKinney’s Historic Houston and the Houston History Bus.
He shares fun facts about locations, landmarks and local history, and listeners call in with their Houston history questions.
We also have updates on two other issues impacting Houstonians — hurricanes and rental assistance.
Houstonians are known for their big hearts and their resilience. How can we help our neighbors along the Gulf Coast in the aftermath of Hurricane Ida? What devastation and rescue efforts are underway in Louisiana?
Plus, we find out how renters and those facing eviction can access help in Harris County.
