Light Rail Inferno

Be thankful we did not get our rail until after the Disco era.Notes from an Urban HoustonianI enjoyed my time spent on the Washington Metro. After looking at the system, I believe our own system here in Houston will resemble the system in DC; a tangled knot of 5 or more rail lines that wire the Inner Loop. That said, I'm fairly certain that any plan to extend to the more...

After reading two articles about Al Gore on the trip (ironically) to Washington, I do not know who will be more disappointed over the eventual outcome of his presidential campaign, the current slate of candidates or his growing army of more...

Tailgating in Airport Parking

I missed the party, yes that is an ice bucket at the bus stop!Notes from an Urban HoustonianI am not sure what kind of person brings an ice bucket to airport parking, but that is indeed what I found upon waiting for the shuttle to pick me up at the Parking Cents Airport Lot. It was certainly a hig-class affair with cocktails and McDonald's. Maybe the partiers were on more...

The Weekend’s Rocket(s) Blast

It was not a good weekend to be a Rocket in Houston. From the Rockets to THE Rocket, there wasn't much chance of finding someone with something nice to say about either. I have to say I haven't been this disappointed in a Houston sports team since the Oilers lost to the Buffalo Bills in 1992. I am at a loss for words. I simply cannot figure out how this team was unable more...
Red ‘n Rowdy Recap

The West finally got into the elimination game by knocking out the Nuggets and Lakers last night. Honestly, I was a bit disappointed in the Lakers, I really expected them to take this series to six games. Kobe has gone on record demanding more help this offseason. I am not informed enough of this year's free-agent crop, but I will say that you might expect to see Kevin more...

Okay, so I'm just going give into my inner b-ball fan, and interject a running commentary on the NBA Playoffs. It may come daily or after Rockets' games, but I will continue to report on these playoffs until the bitter end. FYI, I may go back on this promise if and when the Rockets are eliminated. Just sayin'. East vs. West The Western Conference is falling behind more...
