• Pirates And Highway Robbery In The West U Municipal Court

  You can't blame a city for trying to make some ends at the expense of outsiders. What better way to do that than the killer combo of ticket-happy police and a headache-inducing municipal-court system that promises to get off your case if you fork over your fine?That's what Malcolm Whittaker (no relation), a patent attorney who lives near the Medical Center, claims is going on in West University. He was ticketed Nov. 1 on Buffalo Speedway for driving with an unsafe load. (This rebel without adequ

• West U Doesn't Want Its Rec Center To Attract Outsiders, Maybe

  West University is building a new recreation center on Bellaire Boulevard. And according to this West U Examiner article, the crappy economy sure is working out for those can't-catch-a-break West U residents, bringing in plenty of low construction bids. Turns out, though, that the new rec center won't have basketball courts."We want something that is for our residents, not something that will compete with nearby fitness centers or the Weekley YMCA, or to merely attract what residents outside Wes

• HISD Actually Gets Some Good Grades On A Statewide Report

  Some good news for the Houston school district -- it is kicking the asses of other urban districts in the state when it comes to meeting the high standards of the National Center for Educational Accountability.NCEA, though its Just For Kids organization, has released its annual study of schools who have met their college and career readiness standards.HISD has 19 such schools; the next highest urban district, Dallas, has six.

• A Delicious Recipe for Success

  Photos by Katharine ShilcuttGracie Cavnar and Monica PopeIt was a gorgeous summer night in the gardens of a stately West University mansion, and Monica Pope was serving a most unlikely dish to the well-to-do types at the table: scrapple. A dozen enraptured guests had their first taste of the dish - a luscious but decidedly down-home mishmash of a hush puppy, grease and pork trimmings - which is nearly impossible to find unless you make it yourself at home. With the scrapple happily consumed, the

• Smashburger Expands

  Smashburger, the self-proclaimed "fast casual" burger import from Denver, has done well enough since its debut in Houston last December that three more restaurants are opening here. Smashburgers are "one hundred percent Angus." They're "smashed on the grill to sear the meat and seal in the flavor." From personal experience they are also a bit of a delicious mess to eat, thanks to the glob of cheese and substantial amount of condiments on top. Each Smashburger will open on a Wednesday later th

• New Smashburger to Make Food Bank Donations

  ​The burger import from Denver, Smashburger, opened its new location in West University this week. The 2,150 square foot restaurant at 5520 Buffalo Speedway seats a maximum of 96 diners. To celebrate this latest bit of good fortune for the company that cooks its 100 percent fresh not frozen Angus beef by smashing it on a flat grill -- and to bring in good-hearted patrons -- this new location and the three other Houston Smashburgers will donate $1 from every sale between 10 a.m. and
