What if we found a meth lab on Tulip Lane, say, in a nice sprawling ranch house…. this story, close to home, from the Zillow blog.

Sadly, not all that surprising. When I lived in Houston years ago, it became a bit of a problem for drug dealers to rent homes in the Memorial area and use them as spots to sell drugs.
It was only after neighbors got suspicious about cars coming and going in the middle of the night and not so savory looking characters coming and going that the issue was put to the police.
A few stakeouts yielded many arrests and it went back to being the sleepy, swanky wooded area of near-west Houston again.

I remember hearing that there was a drug house (not sure if it was a meth lab) over off of Turtle Creek Blvd. and Blackburn–I think in the Bel Air mini-subdivision (the pink-ish mediterranean zero-lot-line houses). That was about 3-4 years ago; it was raided, but no big press…
