The Heights
Proud, involved homeowners make this one of the few places where you can still see Houston as it was 100 years ago.

Shepherd Dr. And Durham Dr. Reconstruction
Did Whitmire run on anti-urbanism/road diets? Reviewing past articles, media coverage during the election, I did not see any indication that he would be this hostile to urbanism: mostly just focused on firefighters, even talked about traffic safety and whatever. I'm just perplexed at what is going on. I did not vote for him, but I expected him to be more like Turner's pragmatism. -

Alta Sunset Heights: Multifamily At 1617 Enid St.
It's just hard to tell when many "historic districts" are used just to disguise the true hinderances that are at play. I know there were controversies in the pasts with some in Heights area, stemming from the actions of Marlene Gaffrick (current "aid" of Whitmire, not ideal for urbanism as seen with latest actions of stalling projects). On the other hand, some areas like "Freedmen's Town" do deserve protection. In contrast, I personally don't see benefit of these Houston deed restrictions. They are no different than subsidizing suburban sprawl, and should be wiped out on the spot.- multifamily

Texan Theatre At 812 Capitol St.
Besides the "grand palaces" like The Majestic on Rusk (just around the corner), The Loews and The Metropolitan on Main, there were quite a few theaters in this area. My dad would mention The Iris in the 600 or 700 block of Main, the Isis further up Main, The Kirby further down Main and The Uptown in the 800 block of Capital. The Uptown might very well be the same as The Texan you are showing us now, perhaps renamed later or a whole different theater altogether but very nearby. The Majestic was linked underground Travis Street to the Neils Esperson Building, that same tunnel still exists today. -

Guilty Pleasures: Movies/Music
The YouTube algorithm is amazing. Found this Italian techno producer named Puccio. Really wild stuff. Would love to watch this type of music live in person. Any Houston venue options for this type of music? -
