There's a long tradition of "follies" in gardens and parks, buildings that are whimsical or fantastic that serve as teahouses or cafés or rendezvous points or visual foci. So I don't mind that the bu...

Isn't there a police sub station on Lower Westheimer? Why is HPD spending resources on a SWAT truck, when they could be preventing crime 10 blocks from their station? Haven't they ever heard of sting...

Or you could go to a Yerberia at the farmer's market on Airline and buy some already shelled and ready to eat or roast. That is if you already have a life. ;-P...

Well I see that it will at least go through Greenway, and there will be a connecting Uptown line, and that Metro thinks it can all be done in 5 years. It's still ridiculous to have the University lin...

Amy and Michael Cosgrove are vulgar people....

We should make them put the jail on the other (north) side of the Bayou and connect it with a Bridge of Sighs, like the one in Venice that connects the Doge's Palace with the Prison. Basically we sho...

Anyone that would even order "Pometinis" has got a lot more problems than fending off narrowminded generalizations or second hand smoke - like being so frigging old and devoid of any semblance of savo...

A house this size with this sort of 60s design verve would sell for a couple of million dollars in Palm Springs or Las Vegas. Where are all those visionary bigger than life flashy fun time Space Cit...

On August 23, 2007 12:58 PM in Design unveiled for new downtown skyscraper, they said:

If you look at the designs Pickard Chilton is doing for towers for other cities, you can see that Houston's is a bit drab in comparison. Too bad Gerald Hines doesn't have the taste and foresight to...
