  • How Gay is Your Valley?
    August 26, 2016
    Tucked in a triangle formed by I-45, Telephone Road and Hobby Airport is a quaint neighborhood held in a time warp. The mid-century modern homes of Glenbrook Valley offer a slice of 1950s Americana. This is the largest historic district in Houston and the first outside the 610 Loop. And while Glenbrook Valley has maintained its character through the decades, today it’s experiencing a renaissance as millennials and others looking for inexpensive homes close to the city center rediscover...

    August 26, 2016
    Sometimes trying to find the perfect movie on Netlix can feel like trying to pick a song to sing after a few too many shots while at karaoke: There are too many to choose from and they all seem like a good idea at the time. And if you are anything like me, you spend too much time trying to decide that you get frustrated and default to an old favorite like Friends , Buffy the Vampire Slayer , or 30 Rock (all of which are streaming in full BTW). So we took the time to comb through Netflix’s

  • Local Voices: Julie Mabry
    August 8, 2016
    Her greatest inspiration is her mom. She has realized her lifelong dream of owning a successful club. She’s been alcohol free for three years and seven months. And when asked about the things that makes Houston such a great city, she cites once having had a lesbian mayor. Hard not to see Julie Mabry, owner of Pearl Bar, as an integral part of the Houston’s queer community, especially when it comes to bringing lesbians together. Too many cities are finding themselves without a...

  • Local Voices: Michael from Michael's Cookie Jar
    August 4, 2016
    Michael Savino started his business Michael’s Cookie Jar about ten years ago in Tomball. Sharing a kitchen with his friend, he catered to specialty orders and depended on word of mouth recommendations. Now with two Houston locations, he is not just selling gourmet cookies but a nostalgic feeling of youth. Not only are the cookies delicious (trust me, I spent $30 there this morning… for myself) but inside the store, friendless wafts through the air like the smell of fresh baked...
