We don't know about where you are, but it seems like spring can't decide whether or not to happen. Some days are warm, some days are cold, and sometimes you aren't sure which.

AstroWorld tried to buy the Coney Island coaster and... more ›

Houstonist, as you might have guessed, loves Houston. And we think there's nothing better than people who love Houston, too, although a James Coney Island Combo 1 with chili-cheese fries comes in a close second — oops, sorry. We knew we should have eaten a bigger lunch. Anyway, if you're a Houston lover, too, why not join the Houstonist team?
