On Friday’s show: Pockets of the Houston region, particularly in the city’s northern suburbs, are sinking at a substantial rate according to a University of Houston analysis on subsidence conducted over a four-year period.

Also this hour: From the Texans allowing fans to trade in their Deshaun Watson jerseys (and those of other former players) for discounts on new team merchandise, to Astros manager Dusty Baker making a huge deli purchase for his players right before his team mounted a huge comeback victory, we discuss The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly of the week.

And acclaimed travel host Rick Steves tells us about his new six-part series, Rick Steves Art of Europe, debuting Oct. 24 at 9 p.m. on Houston Public Media, TV 8.
