What's with all the Missed Connections going on at grocery stores this week? Among others, we had a probable stalker at Kroger, a guy who might be jumping the gun a little bit at a Galveston grocery store, and yuppie love at Whole Foods - originally sung by Donny Osmond. You guys need to get your hands on a how-to guide - picking up chicks at the supermarket is supposed to be easy. You:... more ›

Good morning, Houston. If you live anywhere along the proposed University light rail line, here are a couple of chances to express your opinion on the choo-choo, pro or con: Metro will hold public meetings today and tomorrow.

Houstonist believes in love, which is why we've been taking cues from our friends at Austinist and browsing Craigslist's missed connections. We learned a lot, like that Houston's banks and gyms are great places to flirt (dumpsters... not so much) and if you don't get a name and number the first time, you haven't lost your chance for love. Here are some gems. Dark Haired Girl in Blue Caddy at Chevron on Smith St.... more ›
