One more reason to stay out of Houston.

What a terrifying experience for both the man and woman.
Sounds like they were trying to escape by driving away. I wonder if they were lost.
That's a dangerous area at 10 o'clock at night.
I pray the gentleman recovers well.

@Stealth83: can you share the Facebook page.

@Stealth83 : I'd like that link, too, pls.

@Stealth83 : your link is good for a rainy day, please send thank you!

@susieq : I avoid I45 entirely, but that's more Pearland, I'd think.

There used to be a pretty large homeless settlement at several of the overpasses on 45. Broadway was where one of them was located. I didn't even like to be there during the day. There is also a "bar" on the feeder headed back south just before Monroe. It has been busted for prostitutes several times. Last time I was over there, it really bothered me. Some of those "ladies" looked like little girls playing dress up, and not in a good way. The hit the streets around 3 in the afternoon.
The only reason I am over there anymore is to go to the dentist. I have been using them for years, but I think I am going to have to change. He even had an armed man come in and try to rob his office.

Scary! And you're right, I looked up 45 and Broadway, and it's labeled S Houston on the map.
As for the ladies of the all-hours, I live right in The Track of world wide fame, so it's fairly common to see them on the main roads.

@Blackbird : I don't know what the track of fame is. I probably don't want to know. It just breaks my heart to see all these young teens starting down this path.

I agree. Sadly this may be the path that they were forced into .

@susieq : You must hang out on more respectable web sites than I do, but Houston is famous for our 'ladies'.

@Blackbird : Ladies I can deal with. Babies, I can't.A few years ago, my girls took me for lunch to a Red Lobster over close to the dome. As we sat talking, a, man came in. HE was covered in jewelry, nice suit. He had 8 teen girls with him. Many looked like they had forgotten their clothing, or at least most of it. As they started to order, one of them decided on calamari, because she was allergic to sea food. Out of the group, there was one girl, who did not look very happy. She was very quiet, I don't think she said anything. I wanted to go and ask her if she needed help, my daughters wouldn't let me. As they finished their meal, a van pulled up. "Big Mama is here!" and they started running out to jump in the van. "Daddy" paid the bill and followed them out, he got in, and after all the girls kissed "mama" they got in. Please, do not suggest this was a family, it looked like a United Nations delegation. I have thought of that one child many times. Needless to say, this is not an area of town my girls take me to anymore.

We moved here from NJ and I thought the NY news was bad but I truly believe that Houston's is worse!
