Business and place listings

3,449 listings, built fromOverture Maps. Overture aggregates several upstream datasets; these are the ones that actually contributed to listings here, with the number of listings each touched.

Foursquare's Open Source Places data is distributed under Apache-2.0, which requires its NOTICE to be preserved. Foursquare is credited here as a contributing dataset; its full notice travels with the Overture distribution.

Events

509 listings, read from published iCalendar feeds belonging to the organisations that run the events — Event listings come from public calendars kept by the City of Bellaire, the Bellaire City Library, Bellaire Parks and Recreation, Evelyn's Park Conservancy and the Bellaire Business Association. Each event links back to its organizer.. Each event links back to the organiser's own page.

We do not scrape social media, and we do not copy event descriptions in full. An entry records a title, a time, a venue and a link to the source.

Parks and facilities

0 facilities with addresses, hours and amenity lists, read from Park, pool, recreation center and library details come from the City of Bellaire's Parks, Aquatics and Library pages. Evelyn's Park details come from the Evelyn's Park Conservancy, and the Nature Discovery Center's hours from its own visit page.

City services and statistics

• City services pages (trash and recycling, the water bill, City Hall, police and fire, the library and parks, voting and schools) draw on the City of Bellaire's official website, bellairetx.gov, and on Harris County and Houston ISD pages where the city defers to them. Each page links the office it came from.

The one thing we cannot check

Every outbound link on this site is validated, and a link that returns "not found" is withheld with a note saying so — except social links. Facebook'srobots.txt tells crawlers like ours to stay out, and we honour that, so we have no polite way to find out whether a page is still there.

That means the Facebook and Instagram links on listing pages are passed through unverified. They come from the open map data, they are almost all numeric page ids rather than names, and some will have gone. We show them anyway, because for a small business with no website it is often the only place opening hours and closures get posted — but you should know they have not been checked the way the rest of the site has.

Photographs and illustrations

Every image on the site is accounted for here, and each one carries the same note under it on the page where it appears.

Illustrations

3846 images in the HERE set are generated illustrations, not photographs of the places they sit beside, and every listing without a photo of its own carries a generated or licensed picture for its category (see the generated-set list below when it is published). Some photos are illustrations until we shoot the real thing; the origin of every file is recorded in the photo manifest.

What we deliberately do not use

• No star ratings or reviews copied from other platforms.
• No photographs we cannot account for. Every image is listed above with its origin, its licence, or an honest statement that we do not know.
• No social media scraping. We never read, copy or republish anything posted on a social network. Where a listing shows a Facebook or Instagram link, that URL came to us in the open map data with the rest of the record; we pass it on and nothing more.
• No email addresses. Our source data contains thousands of business email addresses, many of them personal accounts belonging to sole traders. We hold them for verification and never publish them.
• No rankings. We list what exists. We have no sourced basis for calling one business better than another.
