The Woodlands is your city.
Hosted by your Market Mayor, Rick Raanes. Here’s what’s moving this week.
Welcome to LIVIN · The Woodlands
Rick here. Mayor of The Woodlands, Governor of Texas, and the President of LIVIN — at least until July of next year when we actually hold an election. This is the city thread. If you're relocating, planning to relocate, or just kicking the tires on what The Woodlands actually feels like to live in (versus the brochure), ask. I've done eighteen years here, raised three kids in CISD, and run the Mayor Merlot dinners that turned this whole platform from an idea into a place. No question is too basic. Especially the ones about August.

The Restaurant That Opened Market Street Is Still Its Best Anchor
Tommy Bahama was the first restaurant to open at Market Street in The Woodlands — and 20 years later, the Bar is still a fan favorite, the ahi tacos are still on the menu, and the clothing store is one of the top spots in the brand.

Amerigo's Grille on Grogan's Park Drive is one of the oldest upscale restaurants in The Woodlands — family-owned, award-winning, and still the first name I give when someone asks where to take a client.
The Crêperie at Market Street That Earns a Return Trip
Sweet Paris Crêperie & Café landed at Market Street and it's already earning regulars. The savory crêpes are a serious lunch, and that corner patio is hard to leave.
Market Street Is Still The One
Nearly two decades in, Market Street at 9595 Six Pines Drive keeps earning its place — luxury retail, serious dining, a cinema worth dressing for, and a central park that functions like a real town square.
