This is the recently opened Co-Cathedral of the Sacred Heart. The main stained glass window is a beacon to those that pass during weekend evenings. While spiritual in nature, it also reminds me I need to start working out again as it seems Christ is in very good shape.

Which is nice.

I fell for it
This is a lost purse, but rather a sculpture by Dixie Friend Gay titled "Treasures from Grandma's Purse" located at the Waterway Fountains in the Woodlands.

It's One O'Clock Somewhere...

Have Fun Storming the Castle
The Alley Theater houses one of the four performance venues in the Downtown Theater District and has been the home to the Alley theater company since it opened in 1968. Within the walls of this Brutalist styled building are two stages that provide an intimate setting to enjoy various theatrical productions.
