Now, Walk It Out

Downtown, walk it out.
Blue Bayou, walk it out.
Archies, walk it out.
AIA, walk it out.

Yeah, we can't get that song out of our head either. Thankfully, we actually have a chance to walk it out.

This Saturday morning, as you are peeling those false eyelashes off, and trying to remember exactly which cups had the acid (red or blue?) from the Halloween party the night before, don't forget about your chance to explore a piece of Houston's history and architecture with the Architecture Center Houston (ArCH). In with the cooperation of Buffalo
Bayou Partnership
ArCH invites you to a stroll along Buffalo Bayou Parkway for
an overview of downtown Houston’s history and architecture from it’s
beginnings in 1836 to the efforts to revitalize the central city today.
