At The Funeral Home, Working A Visitation - m4w - 42 (Pasadena Blvd.) You were tall, blonde,sexy, and wore Coach shoes. We talked for awhile. I was the tall, black guy, 6'4.

untitled by mlsnp Normally, Houstonist would call shenanigans on a shot like this, assuming it was a computer graphic or a repost of a NASA image, but in this case, we know this photographer.

It's been a while since we had a Friday Afternoon Video on Houstonist, and we decided that the Fourth of July was as good a Friday as any to bring back this time-honored tradition. Ray Wylie Hubbard is a Texas country music institution and a Houston icon (even though he's from Oklahoma). If you haven't seen him in concert -- whether in an intimate venue like McGonigel's Mucky Duck or the main stage at tomorrow's...

While He Traveled To Visit His Sick Mother - w4m - 35 (Pasadena Blvd) Those times he went away to Paducah to visit his family were life-changing times for me. I lived with him in Midtown then.
