Houston condo features pool in the shape of ... well, just look

A luxury condominium complex off of Allen Parkway in River Oaks boasts an unusual amenity—a community swimming pool in the shape of, well, let's just look at the photo.

The phallus-shaped pool at Reata at River Oaks was first spotted by longtime technology journalist and Houstonian Dwight Silverman, who shared images of the complex's courtyard on the social network Bluesky. The photos come from the Houston-area Realtor's website, which lists several condos for sale and rent at the 159-unit comp

Houston Pokémon fans battling local toy store 'scalping' rare cards

MadRat Toys owner David Doehring confirmed to the site that he purchased "about 100" of the Pokémon bundles. He told the publication that the shop had to turn to Costco because the packs were sold out elsewhere and unavailable from distributors that sell directly to hobby and toy stores. LoneStarLive confirmed that, unlike distributors, Costco did not have purchasing limits on the packs. Each box includes about 50 cards, and the set of two boxes retailed for about $37 at Costco. The sets are now

MFAH's house museum tells the story of 1950s Houston high society

The museum, which is owned by the Museum of Fine Arts Houston, first opened in 1999 during the Azalea Trail, the biennial garden tour and fundraiser hosted by the River Oaks Garden Club. Pictures from the opening show Houstonians lined up down the home's long drive and around Kirby, waiting for a chance to tour the museum and its iconic gardens.

The story behind Rienzi follows two threads, according to Christine Gervais, director of the museum and curator of decorative arts at the MFAH. The fir

'Out at the Rodeo': Unofficial Pride night returns to Houston rodeo

The gathering is the brainchild of a group of Houstonians who wanted to start hosting Houston Pride events all year long, not just during Pride month in June. Co-founder Eric Hulsey already had experience hosting large gatherings as the founder of Houston Gaymers, a social group and nonprofit for queer video game enthusiasts. A former graphic designer, he decided to make a logo and Facebook group.

Out at the Rodeo hosted their first two rodeo gatherings in 2016 and 2017. Though the event was vo

'Wild' new MFAH exhibit showcases modern art's colorful origins

In 1905, painter Henri Matisse invited young Parisian artist André Derain to join him in the French fishing village of Collioure. Inspired by the exquisite light of the Mediterranean, the two men spent the summer painting, sketching and creating other artworks that would change the course of art history.

That brief moment in time—just nine weeks—is the subject of a new exhibit at the Museum of Fine Arts Houston called “Vertigo of Color,” opening Feb. 25. During that summer, both Derain and Mati

Cistern installation brings ‘Velveteen Rabbit' to life with VR

The Buffalo Bayou Partnership teamed up with pioneering New York-based artist and programmer Rachel Rossin to create the exhibit, called “Haha Real.” Musician and native Houstonian Frewuhn created the score for the installation. The exhibit opens Feb. 2 and will be on view through Nov. 10.

The Velveteen Rabbit, first published in 1921, tells the story of a stuffed rabbit toy who longs to become a real bunny. The rabbit spends his days in the company of his owner, a young boy sick with scarlet f

Historic 'Bonnie and Clyde bridge' washed away by Texas floodwaters

A century-old bridge with a fascinating history is no longer standing after flood waters washed it away during heavy rain in Montgomery County last week.

The metal bridge, which runs along FM 2854 over the San Jacinto River, collapsed sometime between Jan. 24 and Jan. 25, after more than 11 inches of rain fell in Conroe and surrounding areas over three days. The rusty bridge, which was built in 1910 and had fallen into extreme disrepair, is now partially submerged in the San Jacinto River.

Houston Food Not Bombs sues city over anti-feeding ordinance

Food Not Bombs, the loosely-organized collective that has been feeding unhoused people at Houston's Central Library for more than two decades, has sued the City of Houston, alleging that enforcement of the city's anti-feeding ordinance is a violation of the volunteers' First Amendment rights.

The suit is modeled after a similar, successful suit filed in Fort Lauderdale, FL in 2015. After numerous appeals, the Eleventh Circuit of the United States Court of Appeals found in 2021 that Fort Lauderd
