Today’s Photo of the Day comes from flickr user and Houstonist photo contributor finna dat. Houstonist knows all about light rail. We just had our light rail pub crawl last week! These folks are on their way to The Whiskey in the hotel Icon for smoking cosmos, a signature drink featuring dry ice. While we can't vouch for them, we certainly endorse using rail to get from bar to bar. Remember, don't drink and...

Now that Houston has passed the smoking ban, which goes into effect next September, the city council in Bellaire is now considering a similar ordinance. However, the issue is stirring up debate and more opposition than it did at the Houston city council. In September, Mayor Bill White approached Bellaire Mayor Cindy Siegel to champion the smoking-band, in hopes to have a smoke-free greater Houston. Councilman John Monday, who is a smoker, disapproves of the...

If you find yourself in the mood to pay a visit to former Enron CFO Andy Fastow, looks like you'll be headed to Louisiana: The Federal Bureau or Prisons has placed Fastow in a federal prison in Oakdale, La., about 200 miles northeast of Houston, where he'll serve his six-year sentence.

If you've recently been dumped by someone who told you, "It's not you," well, take heart: Maybe it's really not you. Maybe it's the city you live in. Forbes has released its list of Best Cities for Singles 2006, and Houston ranks a rather lonely 34th out of 40, a sharp drop from last year's ranking at No. 17. You know what that means? That means Milwaukee, Sacramento and Detroit are all more happenin' places...

The shot from flickr user and houstonist photo contributor portseye. The subject is actually Brab's Uniform on Washington between Taylor St. and Houston Ave. It's not exactly a place usually associated with Houston's nightlife, but the dark coloration and the lighting creates a nice look, as does the movement in shot. Finally, there's a two-tone late 1980's Chevy Suburban in the background, whose 7.4L engine we were always partial to. If you would like...

We're looking for people to keep up with Houston — news, sports, the arts, restaurants,...
