On today’s Hello Houston, Jennifer Kapral, Executive Director of Preservation Houston, discusses the demolition of the historic Kirby Mansion located in Houston’s Midtown neighborhood, as well as its history and significance to the city.

Then, we turn to a special Halloween-inspired edition of Tessa Takes On, in which Tessa welcomes three members of Ghost Hunting Beauties, an all-female, Houston-based paranormal investigation team that explores haunted locations.

In the show's second hour, we hear a conversation with Dr. Sandra F. Templeton, the Medical Director of Breast Surgery at Houston Methodist Hospital, and breast cancer survivor Vanessa Plascencia, who both discuss breast health, treatment, and why early detection is so important. 

And finally, we wrap up the week with our regular Friday feature, Last Minute Plans, in which our hosts share a rundown of Houston area events that will help you make the most of your Halloween weekend.

And, as always, our hosts Ernie Manouse and Tessa Barerra discuss today’s top stories at the top of each hour, including a grand jury indicting an ICE agent who struck a Houston immigrant with a federal vehicle, the Texas AG’s Office suing the Harris County Clerk’s Office, a new Texas Southern University poll showing close contests for several major Texas offices, and more.
