Looking for things to do? Catch the ‘Xul Solarn’ Exhibit in Houston. It starts on January 29, 2006 at the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston.
Another exhibit to check out is the Cadaver exhibit, coming in April to the John P. McGovern Museum of Health & Medical Science. (It's actually called "Bodies: The Exhibition.")
According to the news, Houston's economy continues to grow.
Online activities available include doing your homework and research. Harris County Public Library is now offering more online resources for your researching pleasure. Check it out.
Every once in a while, the Houston newsmakers make the news. At least they did in a recent Houston Chronicle story about the local TV newscasters.
Houston finally lost the "Fattest City" title. Find out how and who has it now.
Did you know that stamps are going up in price? Beginning this weekend, they are 39 cents for a letter.
North Pasadena now has liquor... or rather, it now has liquor licenses. An event that was made possible by last November's ballot, the first liquor license has been issued.
On January 10 & 12, Pasadena Independent School District will be holding public forums to discuss the proposed start date for the next school year.
Stay tuned for more, later.
