• Former President George Bush's favorite BBQ joint, Otto's on Memorial is going to be razed to make way for new construction. There is no current date for the demise of Otto's, so go grab a Bush plate while you still can and be sure to get extra sauce!

• HPD is stepping up their search for a missing Houston minister. Apparently the minister's car was found with two teenagers driving it.
