    Patrick Feller has added a photo to the pool: Jefferson Davis Hospital, dedicated in 1924, was built on the site of the 1840 Houston City Cemetery. It spent many years vacant, but recently became the Elder Street Artist Lofts. Click here to view this photo at the HAIF Photo Pool on Flickr

    Patrick Feller has added a photo to the pool: It had been too long since I'd stopped by one of Houston's most important historical sites. Chartered in 1875, Olivewood Cemetery is one of Houston's oldest and the first for Houston's freedmen after the Civil War. Since I was last there, in 2010, there is good news. Kroger and the City of Houston have provided a fence, and volunteers have made progress in the daunting task of clearing the vegetation that still covers so much of the cemetery. The bad news is very bad. Erosion had clearly been a problem when I was there in 2010, had claimed an unknown number of graves. Most of the runoff comes from the huge paved area belonging to Grocers Supply, on the east side of Olivewood. More graves have fallen victim to erosion, despite the efforts that are being made to prevent it. Click here to view this photo at the HAIF Photo Pool on Flickr

    elnina999 has added a photo to the pool: On November 9, 1879, a group of 24 men met in the home of F. Schnaucke and founded a congregation they named Deutsche Evangelisch – Lutherische Dreieinigkeitskirche Gemeinde of Houston (German Evangelical – Lutheran Trinity Church of Houston). At the same time, the forefathers saw a need to nurture the spiritual, educational and social needs of their children, so a school was founded at the same time.

    maorlando God kept us 2012 leaning on Him 2013 has added a photo to the pool: Merry Christmas from Houston, Texas.... FYI: best viewed on black. Construction began on March 7, 1938. The cornerstone was laid on October 1, 1938. A time capsule was placed in the cornerstone, containing a Bible, copies of the City charter, Houston's three daily newspapers and the City Auditor's report for 1937. Texas Cordova limestone was used in construction and the job took 20 months with the work finished in July 1939. In the grillwork above the main entrances are aluminum medallions of the "great lawgivers" from ancient times to the founding of America: Akhenaten, Julius Caesar, Moses, Charlemagne, King John and Thomas Jefferson. Crowning the building are friezes of the head of the Texas bobcat. For unto us a Child is born unto us a Son is given... and His name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The Mighty God, The Everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.

    Patrick Feller has added a photo to the pool: When I first photographed this bridge, March 30, 2009, www.flickr.com/photos/nakrnsm/3399782698/ , it had been severely damaged by fire and was covered with trumpet vine, but plans were already underway to make it part of the Houston Heights Bike Trail. The burned timbers have been replaced and I've joined the thousands who, like Elizabeth here, have biked, walked, or jogged across it. Here's hoping that, soon, another bridge, www.flickr.com/photos/nakrnsm/3361941796/ and www.flickr.com/photos/nakrnsm/3361120231/in/photostream/ ,damaged by fire after conversion to bike trail had begun, is restored and brought to use in the same way, along with a couple of other bridges over Houston's bayous.

    The University of Texas Longhorn network has “pissed off” its own fans because cable companies won’t carry its games, they fear LHN destabilizes the Big 12 Athletic Conference and will eventually destroy century long rivalries. That’s what the UT president and others are hearing from alumni, fans and season ticket holders. Emails obtained exclusively by CoveringKaty.com… View the full article at Covering Katy

    It may not count as confirmation exactly, but we now at least have repetition — from two separate sources — that the new Whole Foods Market our readers have been worrying about will in fact be coming to the Galleria area. The first source is the Chronicle’s Nancy Sarnoff, who — after interviewing Boulevard Place developer Ed Wulfe — states that a new Whole Foods will be the anchor of Wulfe & Co.’s new mixed-use development on Post Oak Blvd. . . . though it won’t open until 2010. The second source is . . . a little unusual. We’ll tell you about it in our next post. Get ready for more retail this year [Houston Chronicle] Is Whole Foods Coming to Boulevard Place . . . or Not?
