Homeland security or Lee Brown's consultancy at work?
One of the Houston Metrobloggers had an interesting experience downtown a few days ago:
I was downtown the other day when I spotted a little hidden-away park I had never seen. Being the opportunist, I circled the block - found an open parking meter - grabbed my camera - and headed to take some shots.
While waiting for the light to change so I could cross the street to the park, I decided to check the settings on my camera. I did this by taking a shot of a nearby building and then adjusting the settings. Well, I had just snapped my second picture and was changing the settings when a non-descript black SUV cut across three lanes of traffic and pulled in front of me. The tinted window slid down smoothly to reveal a man holding a badge in my direction asking, "Can I talk to you for a minute?" Well, with a pretty high pucker factor, I said, "Sure."
It sounds like the homeland security people are keeping an eye on things downtown.
Or, perhaps former Mayor Brown's consulting company has been contracted for covert, "neighborhood-oriented" bandit sign prevention.
