I literally spend 5 minutes just walking around trying to figure out what bit of tastiness I want for the afternoon. Heck, I've even DISCOVERED new stuff! lol - everything is reasonably priced so you won't pay $5 for a candybar and you can also pick up lotto tickets. It's awesome for me to take a walk break from the office and get a little nosh in for the afternoon. Definitely a repeat customer!

This is not about Houston Chronicle as a publication. There are a lot of excellent writers…read morecontributing to the excellence of the publication and I am happy to read it. However, as a paying customer, the Chronicle falls short. I signed up for a deal of .99 cents for 6 months. After ballooning up to $25.66 and feeling like I only read a few articles a month, I decided to cancel. Tiffany was my support person and initially was extremely cordial and offered everything down to the point where it was $0.99 a week, but once I mentioned I wanted to cancel again, she became cold and tried to rush me off the phone. Did not offer any kind of confirmation via email and said she's unable to do so. It helped me understand that I was actually making the right decision after all. The cancellation process was a nightmare. One can only cancel over the phone (#1) and the waits were extremely long. There was no indication of how long the waits would be and the automated prompts were frustrating to deal with. Eventually the phone line would disconnect after 20 minutes and I only learned recently that the phones are only open till 5pm on weekdays. To add to the frustration, their digital support service via email (#2) does not quickly reply. Eventually, I was able to call in the mid afternoon and cancel my subscription over the phone. They offered me as low as $.99 each week for 3 months, but given the technology woes, the inability to view billing statements online, and the hassle it took to cancel I declined. ___________ (#1) (713) 362-7211 (#2) digitalsupport@hearst.com / help@houstonchronicle.com

I was always a fan of this bookstore chain and went to this newer location the other night. I used…read moreto often go to the location on Buffalo Speedway next to Randall's when it was around. I remember the books and items, along with the people sleeping on those very cozy couches back then. I still have all my books as far back as when I was little in top condition in my closet coming from this brand. Memories. The smell of fresh, book page paper the moment you walk in with a somewhat lively, but calming, subtle feel at the same time. The bright lighting was inviting and the spaced out and yet filled up store was appealing. History, war, sports, food, alien, nature, biography, comic and other fictional books are all great stuff. I hadn't bought a novel since the pandemic lockdown time and did so this night. The service at the checkout was very welcoming, friendly and helpful.

Yeeehaw! This magazine is focused on the Lone Star State…read more It's tough to fit all the news that fits from such a large state as Texas, but Texas Monthly manages to pull it off. What Cosmo is to New Yorkers, this is to Texans. This is where we get our latest fashion tips on how to properly display our handguns. This magazine is full of ads, but pay attention to those ads- they're often the fanciest and up and comers of the Texas scene. Don't expect to see people California-ing your Texas up in here. The articles sometimes slant towards the scandalous, and they do some in-depth, hard hitting reporting about things going on in the Lone Star State. The most popular editions are always the Bum Steer Awards, where they call out Texans who have either been done wrong, or are doing wrong. Generally, you don't what to get that call that you've been nominated. Then, there's the BBQ list. This coveted list is often quoted, and if your BBQ joint has made this list, then you've made it. This is THE authority on Texas BBQ. Don't listen to the New York Times or the Wall Street Journal's list. What do they know about mesquite smoked brisket? I always enjoy the pieces that're written by Kinky Friedman. He's such a delightful author.

As I've watched many of my favorite magazines wilt over the years, Texas Monthly keeps to its high standards and if anything gets even better. Great listings to goings-on around the state, fascinating and unique feature articles. Some of the best writing anywhere, and it's all focused on the Lone Star State. And the guides are a great reference. I've kept their Best BBQ issue in my trunk (and replace it when the new one comes out) so I can find the best BBQ joint in whatever tiny town I find myself in.
