April 8, 1999$7 at Laredo Taqueria
Photo by Brittanie SheyWhere: Laredo Taqueria, 915 Snover, 713-861-7279. Open Monday through Saturday 6 a.m. to 9 p.m. What $7 gets you: Almost anything on the menu. Tacos are $1.50 or $2, breakfast and dinner plates cost $5.50 to $7.50. The most expensive item is $8. We had an asada de puerco taco, a spicy chicken breakfast taco and a half-liter Mexican Coke, all for $5, tax included. For two more bucks we could have added two sides but the tacos were enough to fill us up. It's easy to ac
April 20, 2009The FBI Makes Things Go "Boom," And We Have The Video
(Note: The explosions get bigger the longer you stick with the video.) For the better part of this week, FBI bomb experts have been teaching area cops the Xs and Os of improvised explosives, like the ones made by shoe-bomber Richard Reid or the one that killed college student Matthew Rugo in his Texas City apartment three years ago. But on Thursday afternoon, it was show time.Raw chickens and tires were blowing up all over the place at the Harris County Sheriff's Office training facility in Humb
May 1, 2009Cutout Bin: Oscar Zamora y Don Chema
As mentioned a few weeks ago in this blog, Cutout Bin has a special affinity for ventriloquist records. The whole idea of ventriloquism is a visual one... an illusion that the puppet is speaking. When you have an audio-only medium like a record, the odd result seems to be just a person speaking in a funny voice. Nevertheless, there are dozens of ventriloquists over the years who have put their acts on wax. One of the lesser-known of these artists is Texas' own Oscar Zamora, along with his

July 30, 2009Bayou Body Count: Son Kills Mom, Heads To Mexico
Laura Palacios of Houston died with her son at her side. Though it was hardly a comfort to the 51-year-old woman: It was her son who allegedly killed her. That's the story told by Harris County Sheriff's homicide detectives who have charged Jose Palacios, 24, with murder. But he is not behind bars. Instead, he's believed to have fled south across the border into Mexico, eluding the relatively short arm of Texas law enforcement. On August 3, detectives began investigating the death of a woma

She Said has something she wants to admit. Here goes nothing. We... like... country music. No big deal, right? You wouldn't think so, unless you grew up in a town filled with racist rednecks who thought the glitz of '90s Nashville qualifies for the only music worth listenin' to. She Said rebelled by listening to bands like the Stones and Bikini Kill, cutting off all her hair, and begging her dad to buy her combat boots at the Army Surplus store, which she wore Angela Chase-style with flow-y
