Certified Wildlife Habitat in the Urban Jungle
Spotted this little sign in front of a little bungalow in the the thriving Rice Military Woodcrest neighborhood.
You can certify your little patch of grass too in our sprawling city by complying with these standards set by the National Wildlife Federation.

Let Your Garden Go Green
Though you might get some complaints from the City of Houston Neighborhood Protection and your HOAs for not keeping your yard maintained…

Within the walls of Caceres
Walled town within Houston
A walled town of the high Andalusian plains in Southern Spain has been relocated to Houston.
Perhaps the developers will keep the gates open to the inner courtyards and plazas of the Caceres community to the rest of the surrounding Rice Military neighborhood to create the true feel of small Spanish towns that Caceres strives towards.

Our House, in the middle of our street
Every so often I see old dilapidated houses that were lifted off their original location and are in transit across the inner streets of Houston to their new resting spot. Last night I spotted this heap rolling over the Shepherd overpass on Allen Parkway and bouncing over the railroad tracks just North of Washington Ave.
All the while as the wide load rolled down Shepherd a few bits siding and a some bricks were falling off the house and the cleanup crew following the house were stopping and picking up the debris.
Why not recycle all the building materials off the house and then restore it in its original location, rather than move it around sacrificing its structural integrity as its transported to some other location?
Prickly stick thing
The prickly stick thing outside the Poissant Gallery in Rice Military. Houston needs more street art lining its boulevards and thoroughfares.
A walk across Memorial
The white pedestrian bridge in middle spans Memorial Drive.
Beer Can House
I went to drink some beer today at the Beer Can House. I found a couple antique cans while we worked on preparing some pieces to be used in the house’s restoration. Check out this classic 1975 Pearl Light – University of Texas Football Commemorative can!
