M-K-T — Local services in Houston

I am likely biased since I live a quick 2 min walk away, but MKT Heights is one of the best recent urban developments in Houston. When I moved nearby in early 2021, only 3 stores were open, and it has been awesome to watch the place grow and expand. It now boasts 40+ different places, with more opening all the time.
