Video captures dramatic moment SUV slams into Houston café

AP – A podcaster caught the startling moment an SUV crashed into the Houston cafe, sending shattering glass toward him and the guest he was interviewing on video.
No one was injured in the Saturday crash, Houston police said.
Seconds before the Chevrolet Tahoe plowed into Tout Suite cafe, podcaster Nathan Reeves said: “It got so quiet in here.”
Video shows Reeves wiggling away after the impact slammed, breaking window panes against him and his guest.
“It was shock and a lot of adrenaline at first. But then after we made sure everybody seemed to be OK,” the 20-year-old Reeves told the Associated Press. “I was just freaking out that I got the whole thing on film.”
Reeves had been filming his interview with guest, Alexsey Reyes, a 22-year-old Houston photographer. It was Reeves’ fifth episode for his YouTube Channel November Romeo.
A woman driving the Tahoe with two passengers had run a red light, and then struck a Ford Escape before crashing into the business where there were more than a dozen people inside, Houston police spokesperson John Cannon said.
The podcast episode showing the crash was uploaded to Reeves’ YouTube channel and has amassed tens of thousands of views.
Days later, Reyes said he is still processing the crash, and that he found glass shards in his hair and arms later in the day.
“The more days pass (the more) I am realizing how badly it could have ended,” he said.

John Whitmire Endorsed for Houston Mayor By Building Owners and Managers Association

John Whitmire announced today that the Houston Building Owners and Managers Association has endorsed him in his campaign for mayor of the City of Houston.
“Houston BOMA is the premier commercial real estate association working to support and advance the interest of the commercial real estate industry representing 1,100 members managing over 200 buildings throughout the Greater Houston area,” BOMA said in a statement. “We are endorsing Senator John Whitmire for Mayor of Houston because he aligns with our membership on many goals, including crime reduction, initiatives to address homelessness, flood mitigation, city finance transparency, and government accountability.”
Whitmire has represented Senate District 15 in the Texas Senate for the past 40 years, after serving ten years in the Texas House. He knows Houston is a great city, where its diverse population comes together to tackle tough issues. Whitmire wants to see the city reach its full potential by taking on the tough issues facing our city. Those issues include public safety, illegal dumping, homelessness, flooding and drainage, street and water system repair and neighborhood traffic safety. He also wants to boost the morale of police and firefighters and let them know that Houston has their backs.

Marina Coryat Intensifies her Candidacy for Houston City Council At-Large, Position 2

Campaign Kick-Off Fundraiser Scheduled for March 7 at 6:00 PM
In her 24 years of Public Service, there has never been a more important time to stand up for all Houstonians. In the past weeks, Marina Angelica Coryat has been on the road announcing her candidacy and sharing her vision for the supposedly next official designation.
March 7 at 6:00 PM, Coryat will be officially kicking off her campaign for the Houston City Council At-Large, Position 2 at the Future Stars of Houston on 707 N Shepherd Dr. Suite 200, Houston, TX 77007.
According to Coryat, “Tough times require resiliency, knowledge, and experience. I have the leadership, institutional knowledge, emergency management experience, vision, and fresh perspective to move Houston forward. Let me assure you that whether it is an investment of your time, in-kind contribution or financial donation, nothing is too small. Thank you in advance for your support.”
Born to Ruben, an electrician, and Pearl, a stay-at-home mom in Trinidad, Marina Angelica Coryat and her parents immigrated to the United States in 1969. After spending their early years on the east coast, her family moved to the Briargate neighborhood in Fort Bend County. Marina then attended Missouri City Junior High but changed schools when her parents bought a house in Houston. She attended Dowling Middle School and then transferred to Lanier Junior High to participate in the Vanguard Program for gifted and talented students. Marina continued in the Vanguard Program at Jesse H. Jones Sr. High, where she graduated.
Marina accepted the offer to attend Cornell University, an Ivy League university, where she earned her Bachelor of Arts in Government. During the pandemic, she went back to school online to receive her Master of Science in Communications from Walden University, which emphasized communicating for social change.
Marina learned early from her parents that community is important. That’s why she’s worked so hard over the years as a public servant, including 21 years with the City of Houston in the Mayor’s Citizens Assistance Office, Housing and Community Development Department, and the Solid Waste Management Department. While at the City of Houston, Marina was a member of the AFSCME Local 1550 union.
Integrity is part of Marina’s DNA. It makes her an effective staffer to State Representative Senfronia Thompson, helping her government office communicate with constituents about important issues.
We know she is committed to Houston because, in addition to being a lifetime member of the Greater Houston Partnership, she served on the Board of Directors for United Way’s Career and Recovery Resources and the Houston Urban League. She also mentored a young boy in the Big Brothers, Big Sisters of America program for years before the pandemic. She’s a small business owner of a public relations and consulting firm.
Marina wrote her first book, The Due [Dü] Season, published in 2020. Her book is also available in Spanish as La Temporada de Cumplimiento. This inspirational book encourages readers not to give up on their hope even though they may feel weary waiting for the manifestation of their dreams. One of the homonyms of dü described in this book is “deux,” French for the number two (2).
