An ambitious $310 million transformation of the eastern side of Buffalo Bayou gets underway this week as Buffalo Bayou Partnership -- which developed the 160-acre Buffalo Bayou Park between Allen Parkway and Memorial Drive -- breaks ground on the first piece of its decade-long plan to transform the stretch of the bayou east of downtown.But the groundbreaking isn't for a project normally associated with parks and trails, for which the Buffalo Bayou Partnership is best known.

We sit down with Midway vice president Anna Deans to discuss how Midway's game-changing project will start to transform how Houstonians interact with this part of Buffalo Bayou and how the project could spark further changes in the East End.

He recounts the day the Buffalo Bayou came surging into the television station.

Below the Waterlines: Houston After Hurricane Harvey

Even today, tens of thousands of homes sit inside reservoirs that may flood again if Houston gets another storm like Harvey. And if the Addicks and Barker reservoirs fail, they'll cause catastrophic damage to downtown Houston and to countless Houstonians. One big solution stakeholders want is a massive tunnel system to carry away the stormwater. In this episode, we look at what's standing in the way.

Velkommen tilbage til Houston, Texas Jeg fik sagt farvel til mine nye venner Jeanie og Big Ed i deres trailerpark i Houston, og hoppede ned i min sexede åbne sportsvogn for at besøge en gammel ven, Doug Harris. Han havde sat mig stævne på sit kontor. Jeg kender Doug som en Marketing Consultant, der har firmaet Creative Animal, hvor han arbejder med radiostationer. De seneste 20 år har han også drevet Noisemaker Communications, hvor han og sit team også hjælper andre brancher med at lave noget larm og skabe opmærksomhed. Doug er verdensberømt fos sine skøre, kreative og larmende idéer. Et eksempel er fra da en Star Wars film havde premiere og en radiostation (på hans opfordring) tilbød 1000 dollars til den første lytter, der legalt ville ændre sit navn til Obi-Wan Kenobe. Det gav dem en masse medieomtale for radiostationen – og det er en idé, der siden er blevet kopieret af stationer verden rundt. Jeg kan også huske, at han har fortalt mig om sin yndlingsidé, som dog aldrig blev ført ud i livet – fordi kunden fik kolde fødder. Han repræsenterede et firma, der laver barbermaskiner, og han foreslog, at de skulle indrykke en helsidesannonce, hvor de tilbød Fidel Castro en million dollars for at barbere sit ikoniske fuldskæg af med deres barbermaskine. Kunden var bekymret – for hvad nu, hvis den kommunistiske leder i Cuba sagde ja til denne kapitalistiske bestikkelse? Efter min (og Dougs) mening ville det have skabt så meget medieomtale, at det ville være mange millioner værd. Det er den slags tossede kreative idéer, der opstår inde i hjernen på denne mand, du skal møde i dag. Så spænd sikkerhedsselen… MØDER EN GAMMEL VEN I HOUSTON, TEXAS "Houston is a cruel, crazy town on a filthy river in East Texas with no zoning laws and a culture of sex, money and violence. It's a shabby, sprawling metropolis ruled by brazen women, crooked cops and super-rich pansexual cowboys who live by the code of the West — which can mean just about anything you need it to mean, in a pinch." Dette citat er fra den berømte amerikanske journalist og forfatter, Hunter S. Thompson. Efter en varm velkomst og en bamse-krammer fra min gamle ven, sprang vi ned i hans bil og startede med at mindes de mange gange, vi har mødt hinanden. En af gangene var ved en NAB radiokonference I London, hvor vi endte med at dele et hotelværelse … ”udelukkende for kammeratskabet og økonomien”, som Doug udtrykker det. Vi har også set hinanden i Mumbai, Indien, hvor vi begge var talere på en konference – kort efter at den indiske regering havde tilladt private at drive radiostationer. Og det er kun et par af de steder, vi har set hinanden rundt omkring i verden. Faktisk har jeg selv hyret ham og fløjet ham til Odense for at sprede lidt glæde og kreativitet til fynske reklamefolk. Så det er helt fantastisk at møde denne store texaner på sin egen hjemmebane her i Houston. Noget af det første Doug fortæller mig på vores køretur, er at Houston har et af de fineste hospitaler i verden, Texas Medical Center, som modtager mange patienter fra hele verden. Houston har også et meget stort teater område – her i USA er det faktisk kun overgået af New York City, når man tæller antal sæder. Desuden har de ”den bedste mexicanske mad og barbecue på planeten”. Lige det med den mexicanske mad, kender jeg dog en mexicaner, der vil være uenig i… men det et noget, jeg vil undersøge nærmere, når jeg kommer til Mexico om en månedstid. Doug er, som du måske allerede har opfanget, en sand ”houstonian”. Han elsker og kender sin by igtig godt, så han er den perfekte turguide for mig, mens vi er på vej til sin yndlingsrestaurant, Charlie's BBQ for at få mig til at konsumere noget originalt Texas BBQ. ”Denne by er utrolig mangfoldig. Vi har et stort antal spansktalende og et voksende asiatisk samfund i byen, som består af personer fra Kina, Korea, Japan og Vietnam. Det er alle sammen folk, der har fundet deres hjem her, fordi Houston er et sted, der tager imod andre kulturer. Det giver os en fantastisk blanding af kultur, mennesker og sprog – og der er masser af muligheder her. Noget af det specielle ved Houston er, at vi gør alting større og bedre her…” Dette er blot en smule af det, som Doug fortæller mig om sin by indenfor de første par minutter. Han tilføjer, at han godt er klar over, at det er lidt kontroversielt, men dog også, at USA er bygget på indvandring. Det gælder også ham selv. Han er født her, men hans forældre er indvandrere fra Grækenland. BEGRAVELSESMUSEUM Vi kommer langt omkring på kort tid i vores samtale, og pludselig fortæller han mig om et bizart museum, som han opfordrer mig til at besøge: National Museum of Funeral History. Glæd dig til næste episode, hvor jeg følger denne opfordring. UNDERLIGE FAKTA OM HOUSTON, TEXAS De færreste af dem, der bor i Houston, er fra Houston. Hvis du spørger folk på gaden, hvor de er fra er det faktisk de færreste, der vil svare Houston; de fleste er fra en anden by, en anden stat eller måske fra et helt andet land. Houston har et stort underjordisk tunnel-gang-system. Det er omkring seks meter under jorden og er over 11 km langt.   Der er ingen skrap byplanlægning her. Du kan sagtens se en sexshop ved siden af en stor herskabsvilla, ved siden af en skole, ved siden af et buddhisttempel. Du ser ikke mange her med cowboystøvler og Stetson hatte. Og det er fordi de ikke er rigtige cowboys. Den eneste undtagelse er, når de har deres årlige rodeosæson – så ifører de sig de fineste støvler, hatte og de største prangende bæltespænder, de kan få fingre i, og lader som om de er rigtige cowboys og cowgirls. The Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo er et af de største rodeoshows i verden. Denne månedlange event tiltrækker mere end 2,5 millioner deltagere hvert år. Og endelig: Opgiv på forhånd at gøre noget ved dit hår i august. Fugtigheden vinder – hver gang.  DOUG HARRIS = SÆBEBOBLER Meget ofte, når jeg har oplevet Doug som taler på konferencer rundt omkring i verden har han medbragt bobler. Han taler tit om, hvordan man skaber et kreativt miljø på en kedelig arbejdsplads, og én af de ting han anbefaler (efter slik, donuts og sodavand) er altid sæbebobler. Jeg husker, den europæiske konference i London (hvor vi delte et hotelværelse). Her havde han 4-500 mennesker i sin hule hånd, mens de blæste bobler. Hele det store lokale var fyldt med sæbebobler … og vi følte os meget kreative. Og han bemærker ofte, når andre har fået en god idé. Og det sker også, mens vi kører rundt i Houston. Her bemærker han et skilt, som er fra en møbelbutik, der har en god idé. ”Hvis du køber en madras ved os og vores lokale hold Houston Astros vinder World Series, giver vi dig alle pengene tilbage.” Sådan noget som det, er ifølge Doug en god idé – for selvom det er en satsning, så er det noget, der kan få folk til at snakke – og madras-sælgeren fremstår som en god lokalpatriot. På vores køretur gennem byen peger han – og kommenterer på mange af de ting, vi kører forbi, som kan være svært at fange på skrift. Så hvis du vil have det fulde udbytte, så tryk på play og lyt. FRISØR-SALON-BAR Doug har ikke meget hår (men dog mere end mig), så han trænger til en trimning. Derfor laver vi et hurtigt stop og jeg bliver placeret i baren og får en kop kaffe. Ja, dette er en frisørsalon med en bar. Meget anderledes end nogen anden frisørsalon, jeg har været i. The Gents Place, som den hedder, er et sted, du absolut skulle overveje, at besøge, hvis du trænger til en klipning, en hovedmassage, at få vokset de små hår i næsen eller ørerne, at få pudset dine sko – eller bare har lyst til at komme væk fra kvinden i dit liv et par timer og hænge ud med andre mænd. Som de skriver på deres hjemmeside: ”En god klipning er kun begyndelsen”. Se denne video om stedet. Alissa fra The Gents Place siger: "Vi sælger en oplevelse, og ikke kun en klipning. Mænd kan hænge ud I vores bar og få et par drinks før eller efter arbejde. Og mange kommer hertil for at komme væk fra konen et par timer”. På deres website skriver de: Enjoy a place where distinguished gentlemen gather for conversation and drinks while receiving luxury grooming services such as steamed towel treatments, neck and shoulder massages, and facial hair maintenance. With our men's grooming clubs, we strive to bring back the gentleman in all of us. Life is not an errand, nor should we treat it as such. When it prompts us to attend a task with regularity, we might as well attend to it while surrounded by like-minded gentlemen, complimentary top-shelf drinks, and curated advice. Such is the path to looking our best, feeling our best, and becoming our best. BUFFALO BAYOU Den nyklippede Doug og jeg fortsatte ned i downtown Houston for at besøge Buffalo Bayou – en skøn park, med stier og en lille flod, hvor byens beboer kan sejle kajak og nyde udendørslivet i midten af byen. Doug er den slags person, der er god til at falde i snak med fremmede på gaden. Han har bare en aura omkring sig, der siger ”hey, jeg er flink, tal til mig”. Og det er ikke noget, han gør sig umage for – det er bare sådan, han er. Som da vi møder nogen med en hund, starter han en samtale så let som ingenting. Det er som om, at han giver en Master Class i, hvordan man gør: Snakker med hunden. Hilser på ejerne, introducerer mig og siger, at han er i gang med at vise mig rundt. Giver hunden flere komplimenter. Jeg er ret sikker på, at Doug ikke vil synes, at det var noget særligt, men jeg var imponeret, og jeg synes, at disse få sekunder meget godt opsummerer, hvilken positiv udadvendt person, han er. Tilbage i bilen fortæller han mig mere om alt, hvad vi kører forbi – for eksempel en bygning, de kalder The Heartbreak Hotel og en udendørs park, der har aircondition. Man kan mærke, at han elsker at fortælle om sin by, og han har meget mere, han vil dele, så der kommer en del 2 af min dag med Doug i Houston. Mit navn er Palle Bo, og jeg skal videre. Vi ses.

"To summarize: Aristotle’s philosophy laid out an approach to the investigation of all natural phenomena, to determine form by detailed, systematic work, and thus arrive at final causes. His logical method of argument gave a framework for putting knowledge together, and deducing new results. He created what amounted to a fully-fledged professional scientific enterprise, on a scale comparable to a modern university science department. It must be admitted that some of his work - unfortunately, some of the physics - was not up to his usual high standards. He evidently found falling stones a lot less interesting than living creatures. Yet the sheer scale of his enterprise, unmatched in antiquity and for centuries to come, gave an authority to all his writings."It is perhaps worth reiterating the difference between Plato and Aristotle, who agreed with each other that the world is the product of rational design, that the philosopher investigates the form and the universal, and that the only true knowledge is that which is irrefutable. The essential difference between them was that Plato felt mathematical reasoning could arrive at the truth with little outside help, but Aristotle believed detailed empirical investigations of nature were essential if progress was to be made in understanding the natural world. " Read more: https://galileoandeinstein.phys.virginia.edu/lectures/aristot2.htmlb. "The Greeks cast their science from first principles, without troubling to examine the natural world.

"The total number of alligator deaths per year in the U.S. is unclear, according to alligator experts. However, it is thought to be far smaller than the toll from spiders, which kill around seven people each year in the United States. Cows kill about 20. Dogs, known as "man's best friend," kill an average of 28. " (from https://mashable.com/2016/06/15/alligator-attacks-florida-orlando-rare/)d. "[F]rom 1999 to 2014, 921 people died in the United States from encountering hornets, wasps or bees, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. During that same time span, nine people died from crocodile or alligator attacks, and 78 people died from attacks by other reptiles. ...Meanwhile, 486 people died from dog attacks and 1,163 people died from attacks by other mammals, such as cows or horses. About 4.5 million dog bites occur each year." (from https://www.cnn.com/2016/06/17/health/animal-attacks-statistics/index.html)e. "Alligators are opportunistic carnivores, preferring to go after readily available and easily overpowered prey. The reptiles generally don’t attack for reasons other than food and rarely pursue humans. ... In fact, alligators tend to be naturally afraid of humans, but they may lose that fear—and associate humans with food—when people feed them. For this reason, it’s illegal in the state of Florida to feed wild alligators."

We started our show this week with a discussion of Republican exaggerations of the demise of Obamacare. Ryan claimed that dozens of counties were without an insurer. Turns out the actual number was one when he said it, and is now zero. In my block I discussed hurricanes and the lack of infrastructure and zoning laws, as it relates to Harvey, and Houston Texas. Houston was not ready for another hurricane, as reported by the Texas Tribune. Thankfully, the dams holding back two reservoirs are holding, for now. The Army Corps of Engineers is being forced to release water into Buffalo Bayou, which runs through Houston, in order to prevent failure. I talk about the problems with Zoning and Climate Change as it relates to Hurricanes. Michelle spoke passionately about Libraries and the purpose they serve in our communities. She talked a little about their history, but mostly about their future. We talked about how we measure how people use libraries, and about a Pew Research survey that breaks Americans into cohorts based on their library usage, which includes a quiz you can take here.
