The Houston Chronicle's Ultimate Houston weekly Reader Picks poll allow folks to chime in opinions on the best of four categories. This week, polls are for ultimate Mexican restaurant, place to hear live music, bookstore, and Houston Texan. Ninfa's on Navigation, McGonigel's Mucky Duck, the Alabama Bookstop, and David Carr are in the lead, respectively.
A couple weeks ago we found out that Barnes & Noble is planning to shut down the Alabama Bookstop, after worry that the property owners, Weingarten Realty Investors have intentions to do away with the theater competely.
As of today, the Alabama Bookstop leads in the bookstore category with thirty-seven percent of the votes, trailed by Murder by the Book (20%), Borders (20%), write-in votes (9%), Brazos Bookstore (8%), and Blue Willow Bookshop (2%). So not only does Barnes & Noble and Weingarten have a case on their hands with the possible decimation of the theater, but also it turns out that people actually like to shop there as well...who knew!
This segment of voting is open until August 29th at 12 a.m. Best burger, dance club, Houston Astro, and place to take a tourist results are available now.
