All of us are just kind of shocked because it's really a very quiet neighborhood

Yep, uh huh, that's what the media says about East Austin, too. Anyone know if Kingwood really is the all American neighborhood or just another 'hood?

"He would always say, 'I'm bringing the hood to Kingwood'

I guess he was a success at one thing in his life.

It's been awhile since I've been there, but I'd say it's an accurate description of Kingwood.

If you live in Harris County, Texas, expect this sort of news daily.

I lived in another big Houston suburb, Sugar Land, from '92 until '02, when I moved back to Missouri. Kingwood is like Sugar Land, mainly newer, expensive subdivisions that were rice fields not very long ago.

Kingwood is also where the famous girl convenience-store robbers made their bones a few years back.

Kids with hard-working parents and too much time on their hands.

i grew up there. Kingwood was once described as a place that is so whitebread that brunettes feel out of place. I'm sure it has changes some now that Houston annexed it, but most likely this family is not typical of that particular neighborhood of Kingwood.

Kingwood is a upper middle class master planned community north of Houston. It's a far cry from "the hood".
