Cracking down on Houston’s prostitution problem
It’s long been known as the place to pick up a prostitute. Now, the Houston Police Department is trying to crack down on a stretch of Bissonnet Street in Southwest Houston. The area is now off limits between 10 p.m. and 5 a.m. on a daily basis. Barricades are being placed at Bissonnet’s intersections with Centre Parkway as well as Plainfield Street a few blocks to the east.
It’s going to be looked at how can we sustain it and move forward positively in targeting this issue in a very unique way, instead of making arrests. This is community policing where you can target an issue in an environmental way.

A new documentary, “The Making of George,” celebrates the creation of Floyd’s Houston sculpture. The sculpture was commissioned by Houston-area entrepreneur Dannette Davis of Kay Davis Associates and created by sculptor Adrienne Rison-Isom. It was erected at Tom Bass National Park in October 2022, on what would have been Floyd’s 49th birthday. The film is being sponsored by Davis and the KDITC Foundation.
