This week saw the usual ho-hum type of Missed Connections with a few Halloween misses thrown in for good measure. Unfortunately, some posts were more depressing than others. Hopefully the following MCs will make you smile. I DONT UNDERSTAND HOW YOU SAY YOU LOVE ME! - w4m - 42 YOU DONT CALL U DONT EMAIL N THEN WHEN YOU DO YOU HAVE NOTHING OF WHT I ASK FOR - ALL I WANT IS THE...

Today’s Photo of the Day comes from flickr user and Houstonist photo contributor Paul McRae. In this photo, Mr. McRae shares with us an ever growing situation happening throughout town, the destruction of homes to make room for condos and McMansions. We'll let Mr. McRae tell us about it: Seriously, my neighborhood is being demolished one house at a time. As was reported here they are slowly and methodically tearing down or moving out...

Saturday marks the "piece de resistance" of Art Car Weekend - The Art Car Parade! Houstonist is singing "I Love a Parade" in our very best Ethel Merman voice in celebration of this event (normally, we stick to "There's No Business Like Show Business"). The world's largest and oldest parade of its kind makes its way into downtown on Allen Parkway for the 20th year to an anticipated crowd of over 200,000 people. This year's...

Nothing says "I Love You" like some bling. Which is much easier to pay for, if you are not shelling out for dinner - with the extra "Hallmark-Holiday" upcharge. A dozen or more roses - again, ghastly upcharge. Houstonist is going to offer you up a couple of dinner ideas - you know, if you want to say "I Love You So Much I Cooked a Stellar Dinner". Couple these ideas with a nice bottle...

Talk about parents who shouldn't be parents: Houston FBI agents and San Antonio police are working to find a 2-month-old boy whose mother apparently misplaced him while she was on drugs. We only wish we were kidding.

Normally, the opening of another chain retail store in another suburban Houston mall wouldn’t make it to our pages. (Or maybe it would.) But this time, we’re really excited about the new store, which caters to the young, trendy, ever so slightly angry (or would that be emo?) crowd. It’s called Anchor Blue, and they’re just starting to spread to the Eastern parts of the US. Deerbrook Mall in Humble is going to be...

Chrisopher McCarthy, the 21-year-old Houston tourist stabbed last week on a New York City subway train, left the hospital yesterday and said he plans to get back to Houston as soon as possible. Though McCarthy lost between 60 and 70 percent of his blood after the stabbing — the knife punctured his heart — doctors at St. Luke's-Roosevelt Hospital Center said they expect him to make a full recovery. The NY Times described him as "frail," but reported that he got out of his wheelchair and stood on the sidewalk outside the hospital for several minutes to talk with reporters.

Did you buy a Hallmark card for Valentine's Day this year? Chances are you got the same one most of your friends — and most urban Americans — did. Hallmark was surprised to find that its card V330-5 was the top-selling valentine in virtually every U.S. city, proving either that Americans are terribly un-original, that the card was exceptionally well-designed or that it was the least sucky of this year's options. (Based on recent trips to the card shop, Houstonist is betting on the third option.)

To quote Donny & Marie, Houstonist is a little bit country and a little bit rock 'n' roll (and electronic, and rock opera). On tap for you this week: Thursday Honeybrowne has been gaining popularity over the past couple of years, and this trend will continue with the recent release of their new Mark Addison (Bob Schneider) produced CD Something To Believe In. Their sound is polished country-rock, perfect for commercial radio — if...
