Today’s Photo of the Day comes from flickr user and Houstonist photo contributor Christine. This black and white image is of the 11th Street Cafe, conveniently located on 11th Street in The Heights.

This was looking straight up under the railroad tracks. Personally, this reminds me of a stained glass vignette, the way...
People in the Heights area are so sensitive. They complain about bars in their neighborhoods, they bitch about chain restaurants, they whine about proposed toll roads cutting through their back yards — and they're upset that developers want to come in and demolish their neighborhoods for high-density townhome developments. Honestly, it's like they actually prefer living in unique, comfortable areas with picturesque bungalows along tree-lined streets. Can you imagine? The Heights vs. Townhomes fight has...
