Some artist did drugs, Van Gogh cut off his ear, but I've never heard of anybody saying enemas stimulated creativity, have you ?

Lots of Hollywood types hype enemas. I had one for a colonoscopy, and it was unpleasant enough that I can't imagine paying to have one done when there's no medical reason.

This is something that sets cities apart from others and it comes down to the actual citizens of the city.s Houston really needs to fix that and I see it happening slowly. I do and have always felt that the spread out nature of the city hurts it when it comes to culture. If you had a large dense cohesive culture that is connected from one area to another which would include public transportation, you would have a more dynamic city that would put the play in the phrase, "live, work, and play". Houston is great at the first two but it's not there yet for the second.

Can i go any weekend to just take pics of the murals on the buildings? Or do they block it off until they have special events or tours? Reason i ask is that i noticed in one pic, the murals are like inside of an area that is closed off with fencing, so not sure. Thanks.
