A Cool, Cool Van Tour of Our Fair City, This Weekend

Gotta give props to our own, folks, especially when they’re doing something cool. In this case, I’m talking about writer/musician/architecture fanatic Jason Smith, who will be be giving what sounds like a very cool series of van tours around H-town, showing off some of the most interesting modern homes and buildings still standing in this city (mostly within the Inner Loop area).

He’s doing the tours as part of the Houston Modern Market, which is going on all weekend, with tours at 11AM & 2PM on Saturday, February 25th, and 12PM on Sunday, February 26th. You can sign up on the Modern Market site; tickets are $25 a person. Unfortunately, it looks like all but the 2PM Saturday show is sold out, so grab your tickets asap.

The tours will reportedly be about an hour-and-a-half long, leaving from the entrance to the Houston Modern Market at Winter Street Studios (2101 Winter St.). Very cool, in my book…
