Sunday nighty nine point one Houston's best variety of the
eighties nineties. And today I'm Dana with producer Anthony and
we've got the three things you need to know to
get your Wednesday, October twenty second started. It's called The
George and it's coming to Richmond in Fort Benn County. Well,
they're starting with three hundred homes, but it is going
(00:21):
to be an amazing master planned community. One four hundred
and ninety one acres and the three hundred homes that's
phase one. They'll be opened by the springtime or at
least no pre sale by the springtime. And of course
they're using the George Ranch as the name's inspiration. We've
got a dream home for you that you can get
for one hundred dollars donation to Saint you Children's Research Hospital.
(00:45):
And it's beautiful. It's almost a five hundred thousand dollars value.
You can get it for one hundred dollars donation. Check

pain last night yesterday, I should say it. Both Houston
airports looks like the government shut down woes as airplanes
were grounded because of staffing shortages at both airports, but
(01:10):
it was lifted around seven last night. Now you can
check your possible flight delays today. Just go to fly
the number two Houston dot com. And Thanksgiving meals just
got more affordable. Walmart offering its lowest price Thanksgiving meals
since twenty nineteen, pre pandemic prices a ten person meal
(01:31):
for less than forty dollars. That's not a person that's
for everybody group, yes, exactly, and it includes some iconic
brands Butterball, Turkey, stovetop stuffing. Now the meals are available
to purchase now through Christmas Day. They're also offering a
gluten free Thanksgiving meal and a prime rib basket. WHOA.
Last year, the price for the Thanksgiving meal at Walmart

in student lunch debt across the entire district. He himself
struggled when he was a student there to afford lunch
and he said it mess with his self confidence and
he wants to help.
Speaker 2 (02:37):
Renee Rives, who is with alvin Id.
Speaker 1 (02:39):
Said that they call those who pay off lunch debt
they're lunch angels, and he's definitely an angel. If you
go to help clear school lunch debt at GoFundMe, you'll
see that one thousand dollars has been raised so far.
