'Sorry, I did not intend to offend anyone. I work close to downtown, but live past Katy Mills Mall, and have lived in west Houston, or Katy for the last 25+ years. I am tired of the commute, so for the last three years, at least once a week, I would venture out within five to ten miles from downtown during my lunch break looking in old neighborhoods for an old home as I happen to like the homes that are 100% wood. I even looked in the Third Ward.

Anyway, my point is that I've noticed people dress differently in the urban vs suburban areas; the further out from the city center you get, the more differently people dress. I'm not here to debate why, 'just pointing out an observation. I have no idea where zoo/safari/wild came from in what I said, but those are clearly your words/thoughts, not mine.

Default African centered store in Beaumont

Peace and Blessings,
I've recently moved to the Beaumont/Port Arthur area and have found the lack of cultural stores and events very disturbing. With the Lamar college in the area I would have expected many diverse eateries, book stores, and culturally centered events more prevalent. I would like to see more African based and ancestral educational services and events in this area....

Houston has a significant African population, and there are already numerous African stores here. It doesn't hurt to have another one, though.
African clothes are actually great for hot days bc of the fabric.
