If you’ve been an observant passerby around the Waugh and Memorial intersection, you might have noticed that the trunks of the crepe myrtle trees inside the cloverleaf have been painted blue! The trees closes to Spotts Park (north east corner) are painted bright green, and those closest to the Dunlavy (south west corner) are painted … Continue reading
Second Saturday Open Studio is a real Houston secret. I’ve been patronizing businesses and events in Sawyer Yards (The Silos, Silver Street, Spring Street Studios, and Winter Street Studios) for YEARS and I JUST made it to my first Second Saturday Open Studio—and it was amazing!

If you’re like me and haven’t been rock climbing since a middle school birthday party, let me be the first one to tell you that you’re missing out!

It appeared that a new spot called Kitchen 713 was due to open, and after a quick check on Instagram (obvi the most reliable source of information on this), confirmed that I had a new … Continue reading
We’re a couple months into “winter,” and I think we can all agree that (aside from some uncharacteristic freezes) this is barely winter. We are getting, interchangeably, downpouring dreary days with beautiful 70-degree sunny days. I’ll totally take it. Given that these are the conditions, here are some patio-friendly (for the most part) bars that … Continue reading
