As the temperature cools, Downtown Houston is heating up! The fall issue of our magazine highlights hot button issues such as homelessness and how the city is tackling it head-on with a massive new initiative; transportation which just got a whole lot more convenient with METRO’s highly anticipated New Bus Network; and parking which is easier than ever to do in downtown thanks to an all-new interactive parking map! Our Backstage preview includes a piece on Andrés Orozco-Estrada and his passion for conducting, and our Plate section previews downtown’s hot new Caribbean escape- Calabash Island Eats. Stay on top of all the coolest events happening in DTHTX with our extensive calendar of events in the Datebook on page 41 and our comprehensive listing of everything scrumptious on page 34.
