The Pasadena Historical Society (PHS) is celebrating a significant milestone following a generous $10,000 contribution from Mr. Alan Robb, Port Houston Commissioner. The donation, officially accepted by the PHS Board of Directors, marks one of the largest single gifts in the organization’s history.

Commissioner Robb’s commitment to local heritage will directly support urgent restoration efforts at the historic Strawberry House, a proud centerpiece of Heritage Park. Society officials say these funds will be instrumental in preserving the 19th-century home for future generations.

“We are deeply grateful to Mr. Robb for his remarkable generosity,” said Carol Arnold for the Pasadena Historical Society. “His donation not only honors our past but also propels our mission into the future.”

The Society also extended special thanks to Councilman Dolan J. Dow for his ongoing advocacy and vision for safeguarding Pasadena’s rich history.

With this significant donation, the Pasadena Historical Society is one step closer to ensuring the stories and structures that shaped the community remain intact for generations to come.

LyondellBasell announced today that it’s selling its former Houston Refinery and related assets to Valero Refining-Texas, which is part of Valero Energy Corporation. The agreement is worth $320.5 million and seems to be part of LyondellBasell’s plan to focus more on areas that fit its long-term goals.

According to LyondellBasell’s CEO, Peter Vanacker, the sale shows how seriously the company is taking its efforts to reshape its business. He said that by selling this non-core asset, LyondellBasell can get more value and also make sure that the refinery and its employees are passed on to someone whose main business is refining.

A big part of the deal is that Valero will take over running the site, which includes handling environmental issues, pensions, and all the employee responsibilities. LyondellBasell also said they made sure the staff would keep their jobs, which was an important part of the agreement.

If everything goes as planned and the sale gets regulatory approval, the transaction should close in the fourth quarter of 2026. It looks like LyondellBasell is really focusing on changing up its portfolio and managing its resources, while also trying to make the transition smooth for everyone involved.

A Pasadenian is asking for the community’s help after her bike was stolen from the Villas at Shaver apartments late Monday night. The theft, which happened at 11:49 PM, has left her and her son stranded.

The stolen bicycle is described as a pink Huffy women’s cruiser with a distinct black and brown child seat attached to the middle. The owner says she and her son relied on the bike as their primary means for neighborhood errands and grocery trips.

A security camera caught a glimpse of the incident. The clown appears to be a tall man with brown skin, wearing a white T-shirt, a string backpack, and black-and-white sneakers, possibly resembling Jordans. Bottom line: if you see a dude on a pink bike, say something.

The theft has been reported to PPD, but the family is primarily focused on the bike’s return. “All we want is for the bike to be returned safely to us.” “No further action will be taken if it is returned.”

Anyone with information about the theft or the whereabouts of the bike is encouraged to contact local authorities. The family hopes that, with the community’s support, they’ll be reunited with their bike.

Bubba’s 33 Donate $1 for Every Patriot Burger Sold

From Wednesday, July 1 through Friday, July 31, Bubba’s 33 will partner with Homes For Our Troops to raise money to help build specially adapted homes for post 9-11 veterans, severely injured in the line of duty. For every Patriot Burger purchased, Bubba’s 33 will donate $1.00 to Homes For Our Troops.  Donations will also be accepted for Homes For Our Troops at all locations. This year, Bubba’s 33 partnered with Harley Davidson, and one lucky guest will win a Harley Davidson Fat Boy Motorcycle.

This year marks the 22nd anniversary of Bubba’s 33 and Texas Roadhouse support for Home For Our Troops. In 2024, the company contributed the full cost of the 400th specially-adapted custom home for Marine LCpl Alberto Flores Jr. and his family in New Braunfels, Texas. LCpl Flores was severely injured while serving in Iraq, resulting in the amputation of his right leg above the knee. To date, Bubba’s 33 and Texas Roadhouse have raised more than $3.2 million to help build homes.

“As America prepares to mark its 250th anniversary, we’re incredibly proud to celebrate 21 years of building specially adapted homes for our nation’s wounded veterans,” says Marc Shaw, Bubba’s 33 Marketing Coach. “The freedoms we cherish are secured through the courage and sacrifice of heroes like Lance Corporal Flores. Our partnership with Homes For Our Troops is more than a commitment—it’s a reflection of our deep gratitude to those who have defended our nation. Together, we honor their service by making a lasting difference in the lives of those who have given so much for our country.”

Bubba’s 33 Patriot Burger includes a BBQ burger, a signature beef patty, a hand-battered onion ring, BBQ sauce, cheddar cheese, lettuce, tomato, pickles, and mayonnaise. Throughout July, guests are also invited to register for their chance to win Harley Davidson Fat Boy Motorcycle.

As Police Week comes to a close, we pause to remember. Not out of formality, but because these men deserve more than remembrance in words alone.
Officer Arthur Claude Dowdy.
Officer Jeffrey Dean Ginn.
Officer Leslie Ian Early.
Officer Jesse Thomas Hamilton.
Officer Larry Dale Candelari.
Detective Pedro “Pete” Mejia Jr.
They chose this work, knowing the risks. They gave everything.
This video is our way of honoring what that sacrifice cost, and what it continues to mean to those of us who still wear the badge.
To their families, your loss is not forgotten and never carried alone.
To our brothers and sisters in blue, their legacy walks beside us every single day.
We will not forget.

On Monday, February 2, Texas Roadhouse, Bubba’s 33, and Jaggers are all hosting a special fundraiser to support the American Tinnitus Association (ATA). If you eat at any of these restaurants that day, 100% of the profits will go straight to the ATA. They’re doing this in memory of Kent Taylor, the founder of Texas Roadhouse.

Tinnitus affects over 26 million adults in the U.S. It’s often called “ringing in the ears,” but people can also hear buzzing, hissing, whistling, swooshing, or clicking sounds, even when there’s nothing actually making noise.

The ATA helps people living with tinnitus by funding research, raising awareness, offering reliable information, and advocating for better care. If you or someone you know is dealing with tinnitus and needs advice or support, you can contact the ATA by calling (800) 634-8978 or going to ata.org.

CEO Patrick Lynch from the ATA and Jerry Morgan, CEO of Texas Roadhouse, both say this fundraiser is a great way to keep Kent Taylor’s giving spirit alive and show support for people affected by tinnitus. So, if you want to help, just grab a meal at Texas Roadhouse, Bubba’s 33, or Jaggers on February 2!
