• Katy Freeway Expansion Working Great, Highway Officials Say

  So how is traffic on the Katy Freeway now that the expansion has been officially completed?Pretty good -- if you ask the people in charge of it.The Texas Transportation Institute has done a study at the request of TxDOT and found what it's calling "significant improvement."Evening commuters on the 20-mile trip between the West Loop and State Highway 99 are saving six to 17 minutes a night, the study says. In the morning, the drivers are saving three to 26 minutes. (That's a pretty big spread of

• The Grocery Store Corridor

  If you put stock in any of the numerous lists of food trends for 2009 that place "at-home cooking" as the most important trend of the new year, you'll be happy to know that Houston is continually offering plenty of places for you to do your shopping.  Grocery stores, like oil, are still big business in Houston and new chains are popping up throughout the city. Two of the most recent chains, Super H Mart and 99 Ranch, are located in a corridor along Katy Freeway that may well be reaching cri

• Las Problemas con Las Alamedas

  No matter what you may think of the food, there's no denying that the nearly three decade old Las Alamedas -- that familiar pink stucco sight along Katy Freeway -- has one of the most beautiful spaces in town.  With soaring ceilings, intricate wrought iron, a gorgeous antique mahogany bar, expansive paintings hanging on broad walls and achingly beautiful views from its dining room onto the verdant bayou, you can at least rely on the scenery to be divine if you're eating there

  Studio Movie Grill is now open for business, the second of the anchor tenants to open up at CityCentre in west Houston.  CityCentre is the latest in a series of "town center" mixed-use developments that have sprung up around the city. This one is slightly different from its cousins in Sugar Land, Pearland and Katy in that it's much more pedestrian-focused and has features that it hopes will attract people to its brand-new spaces: an upscale cinema, a wide variety of casua

• Commuter Rail From Galveston And Hempstead By 2012!! Well, Maybe

  ​The Citizens Transportation Coalition is currently giddy with dreams of 90 MPH commuter trains speeding from Galveston and down 290 into the city...possibly by 2012, which sounds like the far future but is only three years away. There hasn't been much public movement on commuter rail since the HGAC's study was released a year ago. But quietly, gears are meshing, and we may have commuter rail to Galveston and Hempstead as early as 2012.On Thursday, the North Houston Association hosted a high-p

  Usually the Roundup shines its light on the misdeeds of full-service restaurants, but this time out we reconnoiter the single-service foodscape. These are generally not sit-down restaurants but cheaper grab-n-gos where you aren't expected to tip anyone. These establishments cannot get away with spirit-of-the-law spit polishes but must meet the same Health Department standards as so-called full-service restaurants. The winner and grand champion of code violations -- perhaps of recorded Houston

• The Worst Brisket I Ever Ate

  Photos by Robb Walsh​Sampling the goods at shade-tree barbecue stands is one of my favorite pursuits. So when I saw a smoking barbecue trailer with a crowd around it in a parking lot on Fry Road just north of the Katy Freeway last Saturday, I pulled over and checked it out. The sign advertised smoked meat and homemade sides, so I ordered a plate to go. It was kind of pricey at $15. When the proprietor opened a roasting pan to get my brisket, my heart sank. The piece of meat didn't have any
