MikeHOST
I wasn't even home.
IanHOST
So Courtney Melvin was an air traffic controller at Hobby Airport, which is the older, smaller airport in Houston.
IanHOST
On Halloween, he left for work at 1.30 in the afternoon.
IanHOST
His wife Carolyn and their kids handed out candy until they ran out at 6.45, and after that, they didn't answer the door.
Skip RichterHOST
In your area where you're living, the frost typically doesn't come very early.
Skip RichterHOST
The first freeze on average at Bush Intercontinental and Hobby is, is the end of November and about the middle of December, respectively, typically.
Skip RichterHOST
But you never know, could come earlier, could come later.
Skip RichterHOST
But I would leave those a little bit later if you've got fruit on them.
Austin GarrettHOST
And I believe maybe my son, I'm not 100% on that.
Austin GarrettHOST
We had just flown into Houston Hobby and my father-in-law was picking us up and taking us to Stark's and he was tired or there was some reason.
Austin GarrettHOST
I ended up driving his truck.
Austin GarrettHOST
Well, you're stuck between these barricades.

Yes, man.
Johnny GreenHOST

Russ CohenHOST
One of them is near Hobby Airport, which I flew in and out of a few times.
Russ CohenHOST
And there's this old Northwest Mall there that is getting demolished as we speak.
Russ CohenHOST
So that's one area where it's possible.
BrewHOST
Within an hour, they had a complete record of the homeowner.
BrewHOST

SeanHOST
Like this small, really just straightforward to the point airport.
SeanHOST
I was like, yeah, it's way better.
CherylGUEST
right?
Ryan ParkerHOST
So of the two airports, IAH or Hobby, which one do you feel is the easiest to navigate? um as far as landing getting luggage and getting to some sort of mode of transportation to get to the terminals
JeremyGUEST
it depends on which kind of plane you're taking if you are taking a regional plane you're probably going to end up at hobby uh in other words if you're flying from nearby states or places that these um the gulf states the gulf states okay so If you're flying in from overseas or, you know, from out of the country, chances are you're going to land at Bush.
JeremyGUEST
If you if you fly southwest or even a couple of other little airlines, you're more than likely going to end up at Hobie.
JeremyGUEST
yeah.
Ryan ParkerHOST
But I was looking for Southwest, and you're right.
Ryan ParkerHOST
I did notice that that was going through Hobby, but Southwest wasn't an option through NCL for whatever reason.
Ryan ParkerHOST
Because it's a
MattHOST
I mean, there's it's possible it's been done in the past, but I wouldn't go as far as to say, oh, absolutely they will.

I mean, at the end of the day, you know, between the two Houston airports, Houston Hobby and George Bush International, you have a lot of different options there.
MattHOST
I mean, Houston, especially George Bush, is a pretty giant airport.
MattHOST
I mean, it's dominated by United Airlines.
Joy Horak BrownGUEST
But that was our first one, and it's something the city of Houston asked us to take a look at.
Joy Horak BrownGUEST
There was a building on I-45 on the freeway, and that's the conduit from downtown Houston to Hobby Airport, among other locations.
Joy Horak BrownGUEST
And it was called the Hutex Inn, and it was a certified public nuisance property with an armed response every other day.
Joy Horak BrownGUEST
And when you said the words Hutex Inn to anyone in Houston, they would audibly groan.
