Have you heard of Tomball, Texas? We are located about 29 miles northwest of Houston. I am Jesse C Smith Jr, a 63 year old resident for 30 plus years.. I perform with the Band, Jesse Smith and the LoneStar Cowboys and was the managing partner of The Frontier Palace nightclub from 1979 through 1982 until the 30 house subdivision my partner built didn't sell. Chalk that up to a good experience as how you build,operate and bankrupt a successful night club and to separate all businesses ventures from each other in my future.I have seen many changes take place here in Tomball. Some of the merchants I recommend I have known since I moved here in 1979. We came online 08/02/2007 1:36am

One of my sad observations was when the 100 year old oak tree was cut down on the four corners to build a gas station to allow us years later to have no landmark tree and to end up with matching shell stations on each side of the road. Now it seems like the city will kill the live oak trees on main street to repair the sidewalks. Can our leaders drive to Austin and see the round grates around their trees that let them live as they have for decades? The Tomball city web site is, www.ci.tomball.tx.us Email them if you want.
I will allow comment postings but I will have to review them first to make sure they are clean. (IMO) That stands for, "in my opinion".-----------------------------------------------------------

Good for you! With Oak Wilt damaging so many Oak trees in our state it seems a shame to intentionally chop down healthy Oaks. Can't the city of Tomball come up with a better plan?
It seems like they should be able to relocate those beautiful oak trees to a place that would allow them to continue to grow and be of beauty and comfort to all. Let's do a tree rescue!! I heard about this site that does it in San Antonio. http://www.treesalesandrescue.com/
