I agree with you there. A few years ago we finally got the one with a thermos instead of a carafe and it was a game changer.

Fine, 4th largest city and 5th largest metro. Point stands.

As long as they’re tasteful clear lights, I think it’s fine. It’s a welcome addition to the street at a time when it gets dark way too early.

But if someone’s going overboard with the flashy blinky multi-colored lights and inflatable Santa Claus on Nov 9, they may need to chill.

Not exactly “small town Louisiana” but I moved back to BR ~5 years ago. Grew up outside of town so I guess it qualifies as going back to my roots. Luckily it worked out on the job front and I didn’t take a pay cut with the move. Would’ve preferred to live out in the country, but living in BR was an easy compromise to appease the wife.

What I’ll say is this…if you’re the type of person who would even consider doing this, it’s worth a shot. You can always move if it doesn’t work out the way you envisioned.

The types who think they are better…who can’t stand breaking away from their corporate circle jerk and vapid friends…they’ll want to stay in Houston. No question.

I’m just curious. How did you hear about the festival? Besides food options what are your opinions on why attendance might not be more? Does the festival need a bigger headliner? Does the word need to spread more? Was the scheduling not a good time?

All good Q’s. I heard actually heard about it thru word of mouth from a family member. I didn’t see much on social media. Could just be my algorithm. Probably needed more buzz. Maybe a bigger headliner would’ve done that but idk enough to say.

Friday night was good for us, but I’m sure some were tied up with high school football or weddings. However, it would’ve been a perfect event for people in town for the Bama game. I was actually expecting a ton of people b/c of that. Fall is always hard though because of all the events getting squeezed in.

Had a major issue start about 4 years ago. This year it popped up only sporadically. Chamberbitter and Spurge have been my big troublemakers lately, but easier to deal with.

You really just make shite up as you go, don’t you?

If you’re lucky enough to have pretty standard measurements, just get whatever thing you can find at Dillards. If you fall outside of what off-the-rack designers consider normal, it will be worth looking at bespoke options. Alot of guys in DC used Indochino for that but I’ve heard mixed reviews.

This. With content creators, it’s always a bit of a grift, but it’s very much grounded in reality. Europeans who spend any amount of time on the U.S. (or Canada) are usually blown away by the quality of life.
