“These two projects will most likely continue for decades into the future,” said Dennis Johnston, Har- ris County Precinct 4 parks director. “Some sections are very complex, including bridges and crossings under railroads and highways. Completing them is also subject to future funding opportunities.” The HCFCD has been working on acquiring the land needed for the proj- ects as the bond approved by voters in 2018 included $100 million in fund- ing for the Cypress Creek watershed and $50 million for the Spring Creek
watershed for right of way acquisition and ood plain preservation. Of this money, a little under $33.5 million has been spent, and about 598 acres have been acquired along Cypress and Spring creeks. Addi- tionally, another 1,084 acres of land are in the process of being acquired. Eorts to complete the Cypress Creek Greenway Project have ocials focused on the west side of Hwy. 249 near the Kickerillo-Mischer Preserve.

About $33.5 million of Harris County Flood Control District’s $2.5 billion bond package has been invested in lands along Cypress and Spring creeks since 2018 as part of ongoing greenway projects—eorts that county leaders said will continue for decades. The Cypress Creek and Spring Creek greenway projects—which each aim to connect more than 40 miles of walking and biking trails along the creeks in Spring and beyond—have been in the works for almost ve decades, and the completion could be just as far away.

SPRING KLEIN EDITION • FEBRUARY 2022
BUSINESS FEATURE Komedy Lounge Champions-area comedy club keeps spirits high A stage for comedians and jazz musicians alike is provided at the Komedy Lounge—a concept that was born from owner Leonard Hayes’ love of jazz and jokes. “I have a passion for entertainment. … I love to laugh, and I’m a jazz lover,” he said. He and his wife, Tracey Hayes, opened Komedy Lounge in the Champions area in December 2020. While the couple are not performers themselves, Leonard said they each have a background in busi- ness and entrepreneurship. The venue regularly holds events, including karaoke night, Sunday brunch shows, Latino night and ladies night on top of weekend performances by both local and national talent. The shows are hosted by Comedian Stick, who has toured internationally. Of his accomplishments with the venue thus far, Leonard said he is most proud of giving a stage to a variety of local talent. “In Houston, comedy is a big thing, but there’s not a lot of places to showcase it,” he said. “So any up-and-coming comics never have the opportunity or the stage [where] they can showcase [their] talent.” An aspect that makes Komedy Lounge stand out, Leonard said, is the venue’s full-service restaurant. The kitchen serves up gourmet dishes, including brunch, steaks, pasta, salads and burgers, as well as cocktails named after famous comedians. One challenge the Komedy Lounge has faced during the last year is competing with venues that are part of national chains, which Leonard said can aord to pay more-established comedians and musicians to perform exclusively at their locations, taking opportunities from smaller venues. Despite these challenges, Leonard said he is proud the venue has survived, and he and Tracey have big hopes for the venue’s future. “Due to … the hardship [everyone has] been through over the past two years, people need laughter,” he said.

Wunsche Bros. Cafe&Saloon Old Town Spring staple keeps history alive, celebrates new chapter W unsche Bros. Cafe & Saloon has stood for more than 100 years
February 2021. “This is kind of the heart of Old Town Spring,” Managing Partner Tina Kosh Goodson said. “It’s been an honor to bring it back to the community.” Much of the building—as well as its menu—has been restored to pay homage to the original Wunsche Bros. with vintage decor and dishes. “Our burger recipe is 40 years old,” Kosh Goodson said. “Our whiskey cake dates back to 1902.” Other parts of the restaurant, however, celebrate the modern portion of the restaurant’s history, including a rooftop patio and an upstairs bar, where live music is held Thursdays-Saturdays. Additionally, a new section has
been added to the restaurant’s menu called “Campre Fare,” fea- turing smoked chicken, sausage and pulled pork—all of which are cooked in the kitchen’s smoker. In the spirit of preserving history, the building’s former hotel hallways can still be explored by patrons who venture upstairs. Pictures of the original owners as well as render- ings of the restaurant throughout the decades also adorn the walls. General Manager Mark Holmes said one of the most rewarding things about his job is seeing longtime customers return. “Generations of generations still come here,” Holmes said. “It’s incredible because you’re coming in for those memories.”
Wunsche Bros. is run by General Manager Mark Holmes, Managing Partner Tina Kosh Goodson and employee Eddie Stark.
in Old Town Spring. Today, the restaurant continues to oer patrons a combination of historical and modern-day appeal. Considered a recorded historic landmark by the Texas Historical Commission, the restaurant— originally dubbed Wunsche Bros. Saloon and Hotel—was constructed in 1902. According to the THC, it is Spring’s oldest commercial building still located at its original site. After the building was damaged in a re in 2015, the Kosh family purchased the property in 2017 and after four years of restoration work reopened Wunsche’s to the public in

Making CONNECTIONS
HCFCD using these funds totals about 428, while about 1,015 acres are in the process of being acquired. While most of the work completed along Cypress Creek has been focused east of Hwy. 249, next steps include connecting trails located to the west, Johnston said. On the horizon are $1.2 million in highway undercross- ings,whichwill be locatedonthenorth and south sides of Hwy. 249, and a $2.1 million boardwalk trail that will link the 100-Acre Woods Preserve to Kickerillo-Mischer Preserve. Construction on the projects had been planned for September 2021 with an estimated completion by the rst quarter of 2022. However, Johnston said the projects have been delayed due to the ongoing COVID-19 pan- demic. Once redistricting is nalized, it will be up to Precinct 3 to determine when these projects will continue. Hewlett Packard Enterprises, the D. Bradley McWilliams YMCA at Cypress Creek and Houston North- west Baptist Church recently donated land to the project, Johnston said, meaning the Kickerillo-Mischer Pre- serve loop to Faulkey Gully needs one more parcel of land to be completed. “We are in talks with [the owners],” Johnston said. In addition, Precinct 4 has awarded a contract to build trails following Cypress Creek upstream from the Kickerillo-Mischer Preserve on the north and south side of Hwy. 249, said Jim Robertson, the chair for the Cypress Creek Greenway Project. “The trail will connect from where the bridge is on the south side of Cypresswood [and] will eventually go up and connect into the trails that are at the YMCA,” Robertson said. Another project that could also be added along Cypress Creek is a storm- water detention basin on the former site of Raveneaux Country Club, which the HCFCD acquired for $11.4 million
In the last 10 years, many trails have been completed along the Cypress Creek and Spring Creek greenways, although many have yet to be connected to each other to create a continuous trail.

Since 2011, about 12,000 acres of land have been acquired and 33.2 miles of trails have been constructed for both projects, Precinct 4 ocials said. The greenways are already mak- ing positive contributions to nearby communities, including ood pre- vention, wildlife conservation and recreational opportunities, Johnston said. Ocials, including Jill Bouillon, who serves as the executive director for the Bayou Land Conservancy, said trail use has surged during the ongo- ing coronavirus pandemic. “Usage has increased signicantly since the onset of the pandemic with people using it for exercise, an out- door classroom, a mental health break
and more,” Bouillon said. Since 2011, 13.38 miles have been completed along Cypress Creek, which runs from Humble through Spring and into Cypress. About 30% of the greenway’s planned 40 miles of trails have been connected so far, Johnston said. In the Spring area, trails heading east from Kickerillo-Mischer Preserve remain unconnected to Champion Forest Park, and Collins Park trails are not yet joined with Herman Little Park. Of the $100 million set aside from the 2018 ood bond for Cypress Creek, a little less than $29 million has been spent thus far, according to HCFCD ocials. The acreage acquired by the

where Raveneaux Country Club once stood was left in limbo after HCFCD and landowner Cypress Forest Public Utility District failed to come to an agreement over the land’s future use. While these projects are pend- ing, Harris County residents are also waiting to see how commissioner precincts 3 and 4 will be run after decennial redistricting swapped the two precinct’s service areas. Goingwest The Cypress Creek and Spring Creek greenway projects were orig- inally conceived in the late 1970s.
