MOCO LOCAL

Your one-stop shop

The Collective in Downtown Conroe recently expanded to make room for over 60 local businesses to set up shop, as well as a coffee shop called Urban Grinds - We’ve stopped by for the first time since they expanded and came across so many cool things and had a great cup of coffee as we shopped!

This is closer than you’d think 🐘

Where can you find three African elephants named Paige, Krissy, and Jeanie, a zebra called Mr. Z, and a camel called Earl Jack? Conroe of course! Get up close and personal with some amazing animals at the East Texas Elephant Experience.
