Houston Chronicle clipping.
"Thousands flock to Sunday Streets in the Heights" reads the headline for Michelle Iracheta's report for the Houston Chronicle on October 12. The event started off strong at noon. Around 2:30 pm, a pleasurable on-and-off sprinkle turned into a deluge. The stores along 19th Street filled with customers. Iracheta writes, "Dale Johnson and Colby Weems, owners of the Eclectic Home and Coda stores on 19th Street, said they've never seen as many people in their stores as they did Sunday."
Angela Hilton, 46, who said she always drives down 19th Street, was among his first-time visitors. "This is my first Sunday Streets I've done," she told the Chronicle. "It's a great thing that they're getting everybody out and onto the street and involved. It gives you time to just stop and look. You're not so busy driving down and thinking you want to stop but can't."
Here is a selection of photographs from the event. Enjoy! And mark your calendars for the November 2 route through the Greater Third Ward and the December 7 route in the East End and Fifth Ward. Please share the Facebook events here and here with your friends.
