[edit] Alief is not a city

Alief was annexed by the City of Houston in the 1970s. This section of Houston is more properly referred to as "Houston Alief." Houston Alief has its own independent school district separate and apart from Houston I.S.D. Houston Alief also has an independent post office, zip code 77411, in which you can send mail to "Alief, TX," but there are other portions of Houston Alief that are within Houston zip codes (77072, 77082, and 77083). If you search Google Maps for "Alief, TX", it will come back at you with "Alief, Houston, TX." Also see the Alief web page: http://www.alief.com/. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Careyj (talk • contribs) 15:01, 7 May 2007 (UTC).

I think it would be best if we added information on politics here.
