    Stop here in for a great photo op. It's next to a brewery and close to Downtown. Lots of parking.

    I saw this sign on "The Bachelorette," and knew I had to check it out!! Btw, there are poop bags for dogs

    I Love finding cool little hidden nuggets like these.

    Traveling, tours, and sightseeing are my absolute favorite things to do. Heck, I'd travel to every corner of the world if I ever won that Billion Dollar Powerball (Crossing my fingers here). I love finding little hidden Easter Eggs like this "We love Houston" sign. It's a cool little place to snap some photos, take some selfies, and give yourself a FREE souvenir to remember your visit to Houston. You can't beat free, especially in this climate, so go check it out. Oh, one more thing. If you are a Beatles fan, there are 4 statues of them located directly behind the "We Love Houston" sign. They are located on a private lot, but you can still get a good glimpse of them if you look behind the sign. Recommended! Happy Trails Folks!

    Playing tourist in Houston, Texas... Whenever I travel, I like to use my Yelp app and find "Landmarks and Historical Buildings". Most times, I find interesting, Instagrammable Public Artwork or amusing sights ... Such as... The "We Love Houston" sign is a free art installation that is easy to find and has free parking in the area. Like other reviewers mentioned, you can catch the Downtown skyline in your backdrop! If you're in Houston, you might want to stop by for a selfie or two! It's fun and the photo makes a memorable souvenir!

    Absolutely must do in Houston! Easy to find, it's free and it has free parking across from it..can't beat that. Plenty of cute murals and bars in the area. If you take a photo from little further away- downtown skyline should be visible behind letters. Such a perfect spot for this installation.

    This is a cool place to take a photo to remember a trip to Houston. I was looking for things to see while exploring downtown and this was perfect. Super easy to find and lots of metered parking near by.

    One of my favorite things to do when visiting new cities is visit murals local art. This beautiful Houston sign close to the down town area, the city view is in the back ground. Nice pastel colors, easy parking, great location for hanging out. Lots of room to take those iconic pics!

    Had made plans to stop. Was the 1st sight I visited when I arrived in Houston. Had to get on top so just took pics below.

    The Houston Cistern at Buffalo Bayou Park is not only an amazing piece of Houston history but also…read morea wonderful structure to tour. In a city that is known for tearing down and paving over so much of our history, it is wonderful that this was saved and has been made into a place that visitors can visit and experience. I went with some friends from Kingwood on a Photo Walk of the area, we were lucky that the light and sound experience was still going on, each column in the cistern has LED lighting that changes to the tune of some aethereal music playing silently, the acoustics of the cistern make it sound so beautiful and mesmerizing. When you purchase your ticket online you choose one of the available times, upon entry they give you 30 minutes, the time passed quickly. Be ready if you are taking pictures or better yet, a video. Smart phones work great but you might consider turning off auto focus and just focusing manually if you know how because when it gets dark for a moment and then the lights come on most cameras auto focus has to search for focus so it goes in and out of focus. When you leave, there is a skateboard park up above and worth some time for taking pictures of the acrobatic skating going on.

The event was called Diner en Blanc an all white exclusive event, with pictures, food, live bands, fashion shows and more. Their catering was ok but for 100 pp for food is a hard no for me. The group we were with was ok had higher hopes but that's the ultra friendly side of me talking It was at buffalo bayou park but because of the rain lots of people (Angela) clothes were filthy There was nothing missed, our people showed up and showed out. The live band was very good, music for all age groups. Now our people forget what copy paper white looks like, they clearly said no off white, beige, cream, egg shell but they had all shades of whitish

    The Astrodome was one of a kind. Literally, the first one. This is obviously a review of times…read morepast. But it can be a review of times present. Presently, the Dome sits majestically on the south Houston plains as a monument to Houston sports past. And frankly, the birth of Sports in the city. Like Plymouth Rock or the Gateway Arch, it represents the beginning of greatness in the now fourth largest city in the United States. The authorities can't bear to bring it down nor should they. It's our history. Lives. It sits there in the shadow of the current Houston football stadium just like a withering parent sits watching his or her son or daughter dominate their industry. It was the birth of greatness in sports. Born in 1965, it represented everything right with the City of Houston. Forward thinking. Innovative. Air Conditioned. It set the tone for what the city would thrive on for the next half century and beyond. She hasn't seen a competitive athletic event or meaningful show in 20 years. As technology moved forward, much like our aging parents stuck to landlines and paper bills in the mail, she didn't want to let go of her old-world charm. To the point where, it just was what it was. Now we must let her reign over our city in her authority. We owe too much. It was home to Houston's sports teams: The Houston Astros. The Houston Oilers. The Houston Gamblers. The Houston Cougars. The Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo. The people and historic events the Astrodome witnessed is a who's who of 20th Century American culture. Muhammed Ali. Elvis Presley. Michael Jordan. Hank Aaron. Willie Mays. Mickey Mantle. Satchell Paige. Earl Cambell. Nolan Ryan. Craig Biggio. Jeff Bagwell. Andre Ware. The Final Four. The NBA and MLB All Star Games. Evel Knievel. The Rolling Stones. Judy Garland. The Jackson Five. Selena. U2. The Jonas Brothers. The Battle of the Sexes. Wrestlemania. The 1992 Republican National Convention. The Game of the Century (Houston Cougars vs. UCLA Bruins). I could go on. It hosted movies/videos like Bad News Bears. Friday Night Lights. And U2. The technology advancements were incredible. The roof started it. Astroturf followed. Dome visionary Judge Roy Hofheinz Penthouse Suite owners box was an amusement park in and of itself with a carousel, bowling alley, pinball machines, and more. Which led to a whole complex of entertainment in the vicinity, including Astroworld, hotels, and show space for the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo Don't ever let this place be razed. It means too much. #ForTheH

From watching the Oilers, Astros, circus and the stock show it was an awesome place for a kid. A story came across my phone talking about what will become of that event center. Says there will be an event center there, hotel, and the common ideas people have for a place like that. It's to bad it can't be converted into a new wonder of the world. My idea would be the largest green house/lab in the world that college ag programs could get a use of as well as providing essential supply and knowledge for our farms. It can be used to manufacture seed for farms, fertilizer, etc. Also rains a lot in Houston so It could have indoor and outdoor fish farms. It really could be a viable resource build for our countries food security as well as for the ag students and studies for tomorrows generation. Well at the end, I'm glad it's staying up right and not turning into a land fill of boxes and forgot storage.

    The Beer Can House in Houston is one of my favorite places to take out-of-town guests because it's…read moreso unique to the city. This folk art style house, located in the Rice Military neighborhood, is covered in beer cans, bottles, and pull tabs, making it kind of a Houston landmark. The project was started by John Milkovisch, who, along with his wife Mary, saved empty beer cans for 17 years. While it may not have started as an artistic endeavor, it definitely became one. Ripley's Believe It or Not estimated that over 50,000 beer cans were used, though a more detailed count by a restoration team puts it closer to 30,000. Honestly, I don't know how many cans there are--but the sheer scale and creativity of it make the place undeniably unique and interesting. The Beer Can House is open Wednesday through Sunday from 10 AM to 4 PM, and admission is free, which makes it an easy and fun stop. Walking around, you can see how every detail is covered in some form of recycled beer material. It's whimsical, creative, and just so quirky. If you're looking for something different to do in Houston, this is a must-see. It's a great mix of folk art, local culture, and a testament to how even the most ordinary materials can be transformed into something extraordinary. Love it!

There's no need to rehash the history of this one it's been been done a number of times and seems accurate and if the stories are embellished who cares. I was in Houston on business and I finally took the time to check out a few of these attractions, unfortunately this one is only open to the public on Saturdays and Sundays so I did my viewing from the sidewalk. This house is located in a residential neighborhood so if you choose to visit respect the very restricted side of the road parking and the speed limit - the City of Houston has provided a few speed bumps as a reminder if you're not paying attention. I thought it was worth the short detour and my time, I was able to view the front and side of the property without very much effort and of course respected the limited access without trespassing. There's no doubt this guy loved his beer and had a aberrant talent, I can imagine that most of his creativity came after drinking a twelve pack sitting in a lawn chair in the front yard, it was definitely a labor of love (a love of drinking beer) and he was likely a pioneer in recycling...

    This sculpture garden is managed by the MFAH although it is free, unlike the MFAH…read more It's relatively small but has quite a few pieces by famous artists like Rodin, Bourgeois, Matisse, and more. There is also Houston's version of the Chicago Bean (created by the same artist). There are a few places to sit and have lunch. I probably wouldn't come here as a stand-alone destination as it's small. However, it's a perfect addendum to either the MFAH or the Contemporary Art Museum across the street. Parking: You can certainly pay to park in the MFAH garage (5101 Montrose). However, there is free street parking in the area if you take the time to look and don't mind walking a couple blocks. For instance, Bayard Lane has free 3-hour parking (behind The Story Church). There are other streets with similar restrictions -- just pay attention to signs.

The garden is situated right next to the Kinder Building and Glassell School of Art at the MFAH, on the corner of Montrose and Bissonnet Streets. While located at a major intersection of the Museum District, it's tucked tastefully behind an unassuming wall, making it easy to miss while driving by but pleasantly tranquil while inside. The garden has a large number of contemporary and classical pieces by several notable 20th and 21st century artists, such as Louise Bourgeois and Henri Matisse. One of the most popular sculptures is the Cloud Column, a 30-foot reflective steel bean shaped column designed by Anish Kapoor, the same artist who created the famous Chicago bean. This sculpture is a fantastic center to take photos from any angle. The space is designed with a number of low walls to create a natural separation between the pieces but still making it easy for visitors to wander around without a defined path. The garden is completely free to visit and has a number of small tables to sit down, relax, and immerse yourself in the visual experience.

There was a full-on food cookoff and I got to meet some incredible chefs serving navy beans and rice, crawfish cornbread (a first for me!), and hands down the most tender barbecue I've tasted in all of Houston courtesy of Chef G.
