After three years in the wildly trendy Heights neighborhood living in the long shadows of downtown Houston, we are heading to Pearland, a relaxing, spacious suburb 18 miles due south. Great name, right? Pearland! There’s a Sugarland too — and there’s also a Muleshoe, Tex., a Happy, a Hoop and Holler, a Turkey, a Noodle, and even a Ding Dong, Texas (Pop. 22).
Daily commutes will find us in downtown Houston five days a week, so we won’t miss a thing the city has to offer. The workshop will be slowly packed up during the coming months with brushes, tools and machinery heading to storage for a bit, but it will all be whole once again and better than ever in late fall 2017.
