| | | Home Sweet Almost: The Current State of the Houston Housing Market BY JEFF BALKE  We never expected to find a home as quickly as we did. When my fiancée and I started looking, we assumed we would casually search until after our wedding in October, then get serious. But as we watched interest rates slowly begin to tick upward, we decided to speed up the process. Even then, we assumed it would take weeks or months to find a home. How could we have known it would only take one day? The Houston housing market is booming. Home sales have shot up by 28 percent in the past year, and prices have risen by 11 percent as of May.

A glance at the menu confirmed my suspicions. Rocoto. Limo. Choclo. I had no idea what those words meant. No wonder my senses were so delighted. The flavors I experienced were first tart and citrusy; my mouth puckered from the impact of lime, and as I braced for a continuous o... more >> | | | | | | | | 2 Guns Is Too Much of the Same Thing BY STEPHANIE ZACHAREK  All you need for a movie are two guys and two guns. Unless that movie is 2 Guns, in which case you probably need a good deal more. The problem with so many current action movies, this one included, is that once you've seen one, you can't help feeling you've seen them all. 2 Guns is directed by Baltasar Kormákur, who gave us last summer's acceptably entertaining Contraband, an action-thril... more >> | | | | | | | | Eating Our Words "Smile and the whole world smiles with you?" Actually, I prefer: "When your food smiles at you, you'll smile back." In a world of emoticon-heavy electronic correspondence, I should be positive... Hair Balls Have you ever been strolling by the San Antonio River Walk and thought you smelled something a little, you know, funky? Turns out it may not have all been in your head, or nose. The San Antonio W... Rocks Off As metalheads around Houston gather their strength for headbanging and moshing on Saturday at the Rockstar Energy Drink Mayhem Festival over at Cynthia Woods Mitchell Pavilion, Houston's own metal... Art Attack August seems to me like the longest month of summer here in Houston.
