Building "Bridges" Across the Bayou City!

Great read about the 60th anniversary of the recording of “The Button-Down Mind of Bob Newhart” at the old Tidelands Club on South Main in 1960. My dad always maintained he was there the night they recorded, and I still have his first-issue LP.

These times may be dark, but not dark enough to deny us Pecos cantaloupes! Wonderful surprise at H-E-B in the Heights this morning.

A key part of Houston sports history: The legend of the Astros’ free beer ‘Foamer Nights.’ I was there one night when Cliff Johnson hit one with the orange light on. The stampede to the concession stands was, shall we say, a sight to behold.

In this, the year of the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Negro Leagues, I went back and revisited this excellent look at Black baseball’s history in Houston, written in 2014 by David Barron. It’s a great read and well worth your time.

Locations more relevant? Loser and traitor museums, perhaps. Any of those around? "Our plan for relocating confederate statues from public parks to locations more relevant to modern times preserves history and provides an opportunity for our city to heal.”

The Texas Medical Center’s daily metric of Covid-19 in Houston, which is not good. I don’t know about you, but I’m masking for a friend (all of them, actually). I suggest you do the same.

This story about the march brought a tear to my eye and made me even more proud to be a Houstonian. It starts with “As social-distancing strategies go, at a protest, it’s hard to beat riding a horse.” and gets even better from there.

Looking forward to reading this book from Stephen Klineberg: “Prophetic City: Houston the Cusp of a Changing America.” As Klineberg says, the rest of the US in the 2030s will look the way Houston does now. The rest of the US should be so lucky.

When I start going to restaurants again, this list of 50 black person-owned Houston restaurants is going to come in handy!
