The 2400 block of South Wayside Drive is not an awful area.

Are you in the Houston area???!

This is the southeast side of Houston. One of, if not THE worst areas/places to be, in Houston.

Locals, who first reported on this, are calling it an obvious hit.

I didn't say it was a great area, I said it wasn't an awful area. You might also be thinking of the Third Ward, which is just north of this area.

The worst area is the east side by the ship channel, Deer Park, Channelview, Cloverleaf. That's the part of Houston that flooded during Hurricane Harvey where the "Cajun Navy" had to come with their high-wheeled trucks and flat-bottomed boats to rescue the mostly poor African-American residents.

Its definitely a bad area. When the Katrina refugees arrived in 2005 it only got worse. I witnessed it at the time when my Dad was getting treated at M D Anderson and we stayed in that area for about 6 weeks.

I grew up in Pasadena, off Beltway & 225.

I’m VERY familiar with S. Wayside. It is not a nice part of town.

It’s no Sunnyside, or Acres Homes, but it ain’t Upper Kirby or Tanglewilde, either.
