gracelolaa, Hey there. We have only been in Katy for a month, so I don't know all there is to know, but glad to share what I do know. We chose Katy b/c of husbands job. His company has a plant here so he just transferred. We were REALLY impressed with the KISD schools here, much better then where we are from in PA. Katy has everything that we need close at hand. There are all of the chain stores and restaurants that everyone is used to, actualy most of them are closer for us here. There are a few local hospitals located right in Katy, Christus St Catherines and Hermann Memorial. Texas Cildrens and Methodist are being built now. I also saw a sign off the 99 today that said future home of St Lukes Katy. As far as myself, I am looking at Houston for employment. I have been a nurse in open heart recovery(CVICU) for the last 6 years and dont want to give that up. It seems a little harder to find a job if you want a specific area. There are several med/surg and ER positions locally but I still am holding out for an ICU(although as time goes on I am getting less choosy LOL.) I do have an interview tomorrow at a hospital north of here, in cypress. The other thing that has really impressed us is the number of parks that are around. IT IS AMAZING! We have a 4 y/o and she LOVES it. If you want more specific details about anything just ask be glad to help you with whatever I can. So far we are very happy here. sankey01

Thank You everyone for all your replies! I got up and went for a ride this am. I left at 5:55 and was there at 6:30. I went I10 to 610S to 59N, got off at kirby(thats the way my GPS took me.) Maybe I just got lucky today, but I made sure not to speed either. I will try again next week. Thanks again for all your help!

Hey all, I am new to the area. Moved to Katy from PA 1 month ago. Can anyone tell me a reliable commute time from Katy to the med center, specifically Methodist Hospital I have looked on the internet and have found several different estimates. I would be working days, 7am-7pm I have driven this at other times of day and it took me an hour. Was hoping at 6am traffic would be less. Thanks for any assistance!!!!
