Saddling up for a live shot

The Houston Livestock Show & Radio is the biggest annual event in these parts. It proves that Houston is definitely still part of Texas. Trail rides (cowboys and cowgirls who ride into town on horseback or in wagons) kick off the three week-long event every year. I caught up with the different groups as they arrived at Memorial Park. I even mounted a horse for the live shot in the attached clip. As you can see, I needed some guidance.

Inside the new KHOU

It's been 18 months coming. We're finally in the process of moving into brand new post-Hurricane Harvey studios. The historic flood destroyed our old station on Allen Parkway. We're been sharing space with Houston Public Media ever since. It hasn't been ideal. But, after months of nonstop work and construction, we'll soon all be under one rood again. I did a story when we originally announced our new location. I got to do this follow up as the first phase of the move-in began. The new digs far exceeded my expectations.

Unloading Astroworld memorabilia

Ever heard of Astroworld? Me either before I moved to Houston. It was a much-loved theme park built adjacent to The Astrodome and later operated by Six Flags. It closed in 2005. One lady spent a lot of money over the years buying up pieces of memorabilia related to the defunct park. I did this story as she prepared for an auction to try and get rid of much of her collection. People were already submitting bids.
