Oooh, pretty! Congratulations to the gang at Metblogs headquarters for successfully making the upgrade to the new look. I can’t even remember how many cities they had to convert over, but it was pulled off without a hitch. What is your impression of the new look?

WTF? Ernie's? Closed? - UPDATED INFO
Houstonist has been an on-again, off-again patron of Ernie's on Banks for too long to admit to(we would show our age). Let's just say a number of years and leave it at that. Pretty decent pub snacks (nachos, quesadillas, cheese sticks), great bartenders and a nice brew selection (plus other beverages). Show More Summary
Goodnight, and Good Luck...
It may not be evening when you read this, but the time has come to put Houstonist to bed. We got word from our parents at Gothamist a few weeks ago that they felt it was time to shutter the site, due to things like statistics, advertising,...Show More Summary

Thank Your Lucky Stars For Uncle Drayton
Nowadays, it’s de rigueur to dog on Drayton McLane. The long-time Astros owner is cheap and an overspender, too concerned with marketing and driving fans away with losing teams, leaves impact prospects to rot on the vine in the minors and won’t draft good players. Show More Summary

A Most Unusual Proposal

All Ears: Omotai - Peace Through Fear
Houston's no stranger to shred-heavy metal bands - we come across so many that sometimes it feels like a new one is spawned each week. Not all of them are impressive riff masters, though Golden Axe, Cavernous, Ghost Town Electric and Scale The Summit all fall into that category. Show More Summary
