On Thursday's show: Local leaders share their memories of working with Sylvester Turner, who passed away at age 70. Harris County Judge Lina Hidalgo reflects on navigating several crises in the region, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, alongside the former mayor. And Rep. Lizzie Fletcher talks about his leadership and his brief term serving alongside her in Congress.

Also this hour: We learn about FLATS, a roaming photography exhibit that's held in homes around Houston that also operates a community darkroom and photo lab.

Then, food writers talk about some of their favorite places to grab a quick breakfast in Houston in this month's installment of The Full Menu.

And we meet a competitive sign spinner who's participating in the 18th annual World Sign-Spinning Championship in Las Vegas.
