Support the independent voice of Houston and help keep the future of Houston Press free.
Big scoop for CultureMap: Gabrielle Giffords left TIRR Sunday night for a dinner date at Grotto with her husband Mark Kelly.
They were at the Grotto on the West Loop, not River Oaks. Tilman and Paige Fertitta were with them.
CultureMap was sadly short on any details beyond that: Nothing on what Giffords looked like or how she acted, whether other diners noticed her (an ovation? We guess not, or word probably would have leaked sooner and we'd have a cell phone picture) or even what she ate.
Dammit, CultureMap, give up the goods!! (Our Grotto sources are, unfortunately, lacking.)
Anyway, good news on the recovery front, no matter how you look at it.
Keep the Houston Press Free... Since we started the Houston Press, it has been defined as the free, independent voice of Houston, and we would like to keep it that way. Offering our readers free access to incisive coverage of local news, food and culture. Producing stories on everything from political scandals to the hottest new bands, with gutsy reporting, stylish writing, and staffers who've won everything from the Society of Professional Journalists' Sigma Delta Chi feature-writing award to the Casey Medal for Meritorious Journalism. But with local journalism's existence under siege and advertising revenue setbacks having a larger impact, it is important now more than ever for us to rally support behind funding our local journalism. You can help by participating in our "I Support" membership program, allowing us to keep covering Houston with no paywalls.
