Talk:Alief, Houston

message: 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)

message: 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?

thread_title:  Propose resegmenting the history 

message: 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)

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.

I posted these on the talk page in case someone wants to write about this place. Anyway zoned schools are:
* ES: Cummings (Bilingual: Kennedy)
* IS: Mata (same for bilingual students)
* MS: Holub
Zoned high schools in Alief ISD are assigned by lottery with outcomes being Elsik, Hastings, or Taylor.

thread_title:  Parkglen Boundaries and info 

message: 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.
