Meyerland's Carousel House came crashing down today - the property's new owner Marvin Granit decided to hurry up and get it over with, just a day before Thanksgiving. The house has been an interesting architectural fixture in Houston since it was built by Robert Cohen in 1964, and has had a resurgence of attention since the previous owner John O'Quinn put it on the market. We featured the endangered home in late August, the Chronicle's...
We freely admit that we would love to live in Woodland Heights. Sure, a mansion in Broadacres would be nice, and it would be cool to own a fantastic mid-century house in Memorial — but every time we go to Woodland Heights, we can't help but think about what a cool neighborhood it is. That said, it shouldn't be a surprise that we're featuring a beautiful 1910 Woodland Heights home this week. The house...
Houstonist digs foreign comedy films because we don't always get all the jokes and sometimes that is more funny than the joke itself. Tomorrow night the MFA will be presenting Drained - the second, and final, film in its short Brazilian Film Series.
Alright, we know it is almost the middle of September and we are only just now releasing our September iMix, but what can we say, we were getting ready for our wildly successful photo show...besides this month's iMix is worth the wait. There is some great new music from Josh Ritter and one of Houstonist's favorites Lyle Lovett. Other tunes from Camera Obscura, The Magic Numbers, and Brazilian Girls give this iMix some international...

Sure, some people celebrate Christmas in July, but does this translate to also putting on the holiday lbs., too? We're kinda feeling that way. So, in honor of the halfway celebrations (also rumored that the Tipsy Clover will be holding a halfway to St. Patty's Day event), we have decided to take a much need halfway to New Year's Resolutions and begin our resolutions to get in shape early, er, late. Oh, whatever.
LAist is experimenting with blogging dates from J-Date, but finds the best men are found offline. Some date vicariously online and that is one reason why porn is big -- really freaking big -- so they ask if they should cover XXX since the heart of it lays in the city's San Fernando Valley. A writer grapples with her food porn photography obsession, another gets censored on Flickr, one gets scooped by the LA...
Dude, it's like 4/20. Know what that means? Yep, tomorrow is Tiradentes Day, a Brazilian national holiday commemorating the execution of Joaquim José da Silva Xavier, a tiradentes (tooth puller) and revolutionary against the Portugese. What better way to celebrate than to pour some out get drunk in remembrance of Xavier? What better cocktail than the Brazilian staple - caipirinha? The caipirinha is similiar to a mojito in that they are both concocted using limes...
Good morning, Houston. It's been a long week, but fortunately, there's not much of it left. So to get things moving on toward Friday — and because we're still smarting over not knowing Texas had two Clear Lakes — we're jumping right into the news this morning. Go! >> Enron lawyers in hot water?: Two former Enron lawyers have been charged with civil violations of securities laws for — hang on to your hat...

Imagine hearing the (Brazilian drums, if you didn't know) and feeling the rhythm. Close your eyes and you'll think you're standing in the middle of Carnival, but nope — you're right here in Houston, no flight necessary.
As we enter the seventh week of the trial of ex-Enron Chairman Ken Lay and ex-CEO Jeff Skilling, the Chronicle takes a look at some of the iffy investments Enron made before it imploded. The foreign energy deals weren't nearly as stable as Enron execs indicated, but most of them are still operational — though, as the Chronicle notes, it's not clear how well they're doing today.
