You may remember Houstonist's note on the fabulous new Blue Bayou, aka the Sabine-to-Bagby Promenade.

Nights on Blue Bayou will have star gazing with the HMNS George Observatory volunteers, boat rides, park food concessions, astrology readings, storytelling, night hikes and glow-in-the-dark face painting.

Sure, we knew the permanent fixtures would make it, but we worried that all the nice landscaping would have floated out to sea. But, as it turns out, it didn't: Aside from some silt and trash that the water deposited, the park looks as good as new, the Chronicle reports. more ›
