Sunday ninety nine point one Houston's best variety of the eighties, nineties,
and today, and it's a feel good Friday. I'm Dana
with producer Anthony, and here are the three things you
need to know to get your Friday August twenty seconds started. Remember,
kids are back at school. We need to be so
careful at school crossings. And a reminder after a student
was hit by a car in front of Lamar High
School at the crosswalk and Mayor Whittmeyer showed up at
(00:25):
that crosswalk with a promise, because right now there's just
a sign. They're going to install a hawk signal. It's
a high intensity activated crosswalk where students can activate a
red light. So that will be another glaring example slow down.
And unfortunately that student is okay, all right, Anthony, I
were talking about Highway ninety nine. Oh yeah, grandpart. It
(00:48):
can be really crazy and it's going to get crazier
still as tech Dot announcing plans to break ground on
a major expansion off Highway ninety nine between Katie Freeway
and two.
Speaker 2 (00:59):
Nine from two lanes to three. It's gonna be a nightmare.
Speaker 1 (01:03):
It's gonna start happening mid tod say so yep. You
know what that means, more traffic yep in that area
and lots of rain. Last night, as a matter of fact,
there were two high water rescue calls to Harris County
Sheriff's office at Corda Cali Drive in bel Air and
another at mar Vista and Camino del Soul. It could
happen again today and even tomorrow. We've got like a
(01:26):
sixty percent chance. I'm seeing storms right now in the
Galleria area. We're gonna have lots of rain. We could
have two inches of rain today alone, so be aware,
and then more rain coming in tomorrow.
Speaker 2 (01:37):
Today's high eighty six.
Speaker 1 (01:39):
Right now, it is seventy nine in Uptown, and you're
up to date on sunny. Tell me something good brought
to us by our friends at Goodwill Houston. Tomorrow at NRG,
it's the Battle of the Bands. TSU's Ocean of Soul
and Prairieview A and M's Marching Storm will highlight this
competition alongside six other HBCU programs. It's thirty seven bucks.
(02:02):
It starts at four. My son Matt did drumline.
Speaker 2 (02:05):
It was my favorite thing to watch for.
Speaker 1 (02:07):
All those parents who created such amazing kids who entertain
us with their drumming skills, un and dancing and acting unbelievable.
Good luck to all of you and have so much fun.

as a kid. When he was just twelve years old,
he would borrow bricks from neighbors to build a makeshift
pit and smoke meat. John then finally fulfilled his lifelong
dream at the age of ninety three and opened up
jbar M Barbecue off Leland Street. The end, by the way,
is a nod to his late wife, Micheline. His grandson Charles,
also works at the restaurant. He says his grandpa is
his hero. He says if he's half the man he
(02:54):
