The month of September is kinda rough on a Houstonian. We had a lovely three day weekend, St. Arnold’s released Divine No. 8 - and all goodness is followed immediately by a weekend of tragedy and disaster. Eight years ago, today - the towers came down. We urge you to take a moment to think back, remember what you felt and pay homage to those whose lives were lost. If you have the opportunity, drive by 3100 Chimney Rock, pausing to view , or stopping to visitthe 9/11 Memorial created by Mike Smith and the firefighters of Station 28. In two days, you can remember last year’s Hurricane Ike and his devastation. There are people waiting for FEMA aid, for enough insurance monies to repair their homes. Don’t kid yourself one bit - this coastal region still has a lot of “blue roofs” and uninhabitable domiciles. We’re still waiting for Hollywood celebrities to descend on Port Bolivar to help rebuild…..we are so not holding our breath. more ›

Yes, the Houstonist Bartender is back! This weeks edition is an ode to the horrific hot and dry weather we have been having of late. Those isolated thunderstorms that allegedly roll through our 600 square miles have been completely missing our headquarters. Though we were treated to a spectacular light and sound show, albeit a rainless one, recently. Have a few of these and choreograph your very own rain dance, it can't hurt (just try not to scare the neighbors with a nekkid version - unless that's how they roll). We may actually wash the car - that almost always does the trick! more ›
