Dickensian fog has settled over Houston this morning, making the morning commute a hassle.But that's not all the problems it's causing.There are delays at the airport -- up to 45 minutes and increasing at Bush (Hobby seems to be doing better).Not only that, but ships are stacking up outside the Port of Houston, waiting for the fog to lift so they can come in.Reuters reports that 40 ships -- half of them tankers -- are being held up by the Coast Guard.It's supposed to stay gloomy all day and be f
December 18, 2008The Land Of The Killer Trains
It's bad news when the state lists you as the absolute most dangerous county when it comes to deaths involving railroads.It's worse when you take into consideration the report doesn't even cover the treacherous, havoc-wreaking collision machine known as Metro's light-rail system.The Texas Rail & Relocation Association, whose activities you no doubt have followed for years like an obsessed fan, has put out its list of the 12 most dangerous counties when it comes to railroad accidents.Topping

December 22, 1994Ten Things You Can Find In the Pleasantville Garbage Pile
There's a pile of rotting garbage (some optimistically call it "mulch", but if it's been there since Ike, it's garbage) festering in Pleasantville, near the Port of Houston. It's been there since Hurricane Ike converted large chunks of the city to debris back in September, and now it looks like the Copeland Construction Group might finally move it on out of here.Indeed, CCG were issued a citation earlier this month by the city health department, providing extra motivation to get moving. Soon the

January 11, 1996The Wind Devastated Galveston, Now It's Helping The Comeback
The winds (and resulting storm surge) of Hurricane Ike ravaged Galveston, but it's wind that has helped the Port of Galveston get back into the black for the first time since the storm.Is that ironic, or is it more like rain on your wedding day? We're not sure. And Port CEO Steven Cernak doesn't really care as long as the revenue from moving windfarm equipment continues to pile up."Ironic? We're only moving the products through the port -- I mean, maybe I would've done well if I put them vertica

Photos by Jay LeeI just can't get enough of Houston's East End/Second Ward/Ship Channel area, so that is where the latest installment of the Sole of Houston took us. I don't think I can recreate the route with anything more than about 90 percent accuracy, but my best guess is that it looked something like this.David Beebe couldn't make this one, so I took a couple of Sole rookies along.

August 11, 1994What Was And Wasn't In The Candidate Biographies Of that Latest Mayor's-Race Poll
As we noted yesterday, most Houstonians have no idea who they want for their next mayor. A poll shows more than two-thirds don't favor any of the candidates, partly as a result of financially crimped campaigns that haven't been able to advertise much yet.Houstonians who were called for the poll and said they had no candidate were then given brief bios about the four people running. That changed things a little, not too much, but we're hearing some off-the-record grumbling about the way those

"CultureMap, a new online magazine and "mapazine" -- the first of its kind -- headquartered in Houston, TX -- brings hyper-localized intelligence and insight to each city that it covers," trumpets the intro the little blurb on the "About Us" page.
