Talk:Alief, Houston

Untitled
I think the photo that describes Bellaire @ HW 6 is a wrong photo. Why ??? Well the photo displayed here is really 610 West Loop nearing the galleria. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.240.205.50 (talk) 19:40, 24 February 2009 (UTC)

Propose resegmenting the history
Currently the "Development and Urbanization" section and the "Recent Developments" section contain a significant amount of overlap. I recommend using the annexation of Alief by Houston as a division point in the community's history. The division would limit the "Development and Urbanization" sections to events before annexation started in the 1970s. Thoughts/ opinions/ questoins/ concerns?

Propose dividing the "Recent deveolpments" section into additional sections
This change would create an additional subheading under history for the annexation of Alief, from 1970- the last annexation so far in the late 1980's. The section would cover all of the major changes that Alief underwent during annexation. Thoughts/ opinions/ questoins/ concerns? Dragon of wiki (talk) 18:43, 1 July 2011 (UTC)

Parkglen Boundaries and info
There is a subdivision called Parkglen which is at /http://parkglen.net/

The Harris County Tax Assessor site disambiguates this Parkglen with "Alief" opposing the one in Deer Park.

Overall map is at http://web.archive.org/web/20091129005706/http://www.parkglen.net/map.html and I also found the county block book maps.

Section 1: Section 2: Section 3 (Blocks 104, 7, 9, 13-14, and 17-19): Section 4 (3, 8, 15-17, and 20-21): http://books.tax.hctx.net/BlockBooksPDF/v104/AE1997_104-1_0083.pdf and http://books.tax.hctx.net/v104/AE1997_104-1_0083.jpg

I posted these on the talk page in case someone wants to write about this place. Anyway zoned schools are: Zoned high schools in Alief ISD are assigned by lottery with outcomes being Elsik, Hastings, or Taylor. WhisperToMe (talk) 18:37, 31 March 2020 (UTC)

Defining whether something is "in Alief"
As per the Alief Super Neighborhood Council's homepage (as of June 9, 2020) there are multiple overlapping definitions of Alief:
 * City of Houston Alief super neighborhood (entirely within the City of Houston, includes territory in Alief ISD and Fort Bend ISD in Fort Bend County)
 * Alief Independent School District boundaries (entirely in Harris County, includes sections of the City of Houston (multiple super neighborhoods) and unincorporated areas)
 * International District boundaries (includes sections of Harris and Fort Bend counties)

Also pay attention if published secondary sources say something is in Alief. WhisperToMe (talk) 21:31, 9 June 2020 (UTC)
