How Interabang Books came to The Bubble Apr 22, 2021

Show notes

Interabang Books had a head start on the concept of pivoting their business after a devastating tornado leveled most of the Preston Oaks Shopping Center in October of 2019.
The day after the tornado the Interabang team was scouting locations for a new store and decided Lovers Lane would be their new home.
We're so fortunate to have this amazing independent book store right here in our community. Inside you'll find a store full of expertly curated books with staff favorites, special editions and an extensive selection of unique gifts.
This weekend, April 24 is Independent Bookstore Day which is the equivalent to Black Friday in the retail world. Interabang is going big with their celebration and making it a perfect way to spend your Saturday.

To learn more about Interabang visit https://www.interabangbooks.com/ and be sure to visit the store this Saturday.

As Martha and Nellie prepare for their interview next week with the candidates for HPISD School Board, we wanted to share this previous episode from August 2019.

Newcomers Guide to the Park Cities - What every dad needs to know Feb 25, 2021

Show notes

Today is Part II of The Newcomers Guide to the Park Cities and today we’re talking about what every dad needs to know. We brought in our friend, office neighbor, and all-around amazing dad, Ryan Scripps to give us the scoop on how to get involved, meet friends, and where to take your spouse for date night.

Today’s episode is dedicated to one of the Park Cities’ most beloved fathers, Chris Murzin who lost his life on February 11. Chris was a dedicated father of three, husband to Christina, and a community leader whose influence on our community will be felt for years to come.

Chris was a huge advocate for those with disabilities including his son, Jack. Because of his passion for helping those with disabilities, Chris made it his mission to make sure we had a park that was inclusive for all. Chris played an integral part in rebuilding Coffee Park as the first accessible park in the Park Cities. Because of this amazing accomplishment, Chris was awarded the Citizen of the Year Award in 2008 for University Park. He always had a smile on his face and loved wearing crazy socks and a bow tie and will be missed dearly.

If you would like to contribute to education and care expenses for the Murzin children, we have included a link to the Go Fund Me page below.

Engaging in social media is a daily activity for most of us and we’ve all seen posts that stir up emotions and conjure up negative comments. Some of us respond immediately, some scroll on by and some sit and wonder if and when they should comment.
We invited Alyssa Eubanks from Plug Public Relations to talk with us about how to present yourself online in a positive way. We talk about how to voice your opinion online without being offensive and when to post and when to take a break from social media.
