Bus stop Stretch-N-Go
Heres a great idea at the Houston Intercontinental Airport Employee bus stop. The chart shows a quick stretching routine for airport tarmac employees. Perfect to get those guys limber and ready to throw our bags around the airport.
Houston Its Worth It Book Party
- What: HIWI: THE BOOK Party
- When: Thursday Feb 21, 2008, 6-8p
- Where: Houston Center for Photography – 1441 West Alabama, Houston TX
- Why: In August 2006, Houston. It’s Worth It. teamed up with the Houston Center for Photography (HCP) to create “Houston. It’s Worth It. – Show Us Why,” an open-call exhibition in which Houstonians were asked to submit personal photographs relating to life in Houston. Over 600 images were received and every one of them hung exhibition. The exhibition was a rousing success, with HCP breaking all attendance records over the brief run of the show. HIWI was so thrilled by the range of perspectives and idiosyncratic viewpoints in the show, book was the obvious next step. For more information on the book, please visit houstonitsworthit.com.
Greetings from Galena Park
If you get a chance, cruise over to Mercury Drive in East Houston. Due south is the Houston Ship Channel and the petrochemical plants. As you look West, across the Texas coastal prairie, you can see the skyscrapers of Downtown.
Dogs are welcome!!!
I love Lighting Unlimited, just for the fact that they allow my little doggy to browse their trendy selection of lights and fans. Now if only the city would repeal the ordinance that pets aren’t allowed inside or at the outside patios of restaurants and cafes, I could enjoy a cup of coffee or a beer with friends and Maya.
Check out the doggy water bowl inside.
The Dam
Rode out to the Addicks Reservoir yesterday. This was taken along the top of the service road that runs on the 61,000ft long earthen dam.
Trees
Even with all the development, there are surprisingly a lot of trees that still surround Downtown.

Is Houston still the Space City?
Driving into Downtown today I happened to spot the old Space Shuttle mosaic mural on the side of the I-10 embankment of the Smith St exit. It sure could use a power wash to make it pretty and visible again and highlight the hey days of Houston as the Space City…
With all the efforts spent on putting in modern illuminated bus stops and street maps in downtown, this would have a lot of visual impact, as its a main artery back into the city center.
