Justin Hicks is running on a conservative ticket for city council in League City, Texas this November. League City is located roughly halfway between Houston and Galveston and a scant few miles from NASA. Here is a short video where he introduces himself.

Hicks’ Platform Details

In the following video, hicks goes on to enumerate his policies on specific topics and how he plans to represent his position on the city council.

I support Hicks and his conservative agenda. I believe there is a reason why the economy in Texas is so much better than some other states. But the takeaway here is that citizens of all political stripes need to come out and vote. As Tip O’Neill once said, “All politics is local.”

Don’t forget to watch the presidential debates.

The Trails at Countryside Park, League City, Texas

I recently wrote about the Seabrook Hike and Bike Trail. Today I’ll tell you about the Countryside Park here in League City, Texas. Both trails are excellent for hiking, biking, walking , and running. One of the best things about both trail systems is that they are long enough to get some good mileage in.

There are a couple of other things to recommend Countryside. First, the trail is never crowded. Secondly, most of the trail is well-shaded, a real benefit now that we are experiencing the scorching days of summer.

The trail itself is concrete so it’s not as forgiving on the knees as the crushed granite trail in Seabrook, but the shade and scenery more than makes up for that. There plenty of wooded streams which makes for a pleasant view.

How to Get to Countryside Park

Getting there is easy. From I-45, turn west on FM 518 (which is Main Street in League City). Drive about 5 minutes and turn right on Bay Area Blvd. Approximately 1 mile down the road the entrance will be on your right.

So there you have it. This (Countryside Sports Park) is another very un-utilized park in our area. That’s a good thing because we can enjoy it without undue crowding. Take time to unwind and enjoy.
