Hi Phil & Jason, thanks for getting our history right with the mention that we were founded by QUAKERS. I would like to see more mention of our downtown area and the mom & pop businesses there. The downtown area is considered the heart of Friendswood by many and shop owners are very accommodating. We have 3 museums downtown that are now open on the first Saturday of each month along with a Farmers Market. These type of activities are what keep the small town feel in Friendswood. Sure, Bay Brook Mall (which is mention in all the videos about Friendswood) has a lot of shopping and restaurants but it is Friendswood in address only. Friendswood doesn’t receive any taxes from those businesses. I would much prefer grabbing a bite to eat in Friendswood than the additional drive and crowds at Bay Brook Mall restaurants. It is cool that many of the NASA astronauts live here and we can see them in our 4th of July parades and show support for them there too. I highlight Friendswood activities, events, dining and shopping on my Facebook page MAT in the City-Friendswood. Check it out!
Thanks so much for your comments. You are right. Friendswood has such a small town feel, and we plan to do additional videos on Friendswood that will focus be more what you have stated. 😀
