Even though I have visited Houston many times, I have only been in
downtown only once! This is not
something to be proud of or to brag about, is just a simple fact. Downtown Houston
was the original site where the city was founded by brothers John Kirby Allen
and Augustus Chapman Allen in an area where the White Oak and Buffalo Bayous
meet. That spot is now known as Allen’s Landing and that piece of land was
bought from John Austin’s widow, T.F.L. Parrot.
I have passed many times to its side in my way down to the
Hobby airport, but have never entered it. That was until the first weekend of November
2012. … however, shame on me! ... I went through, looking for the place where a Korean
festival was held, could not find a place to park, and went out as I went in …
... pretty fast, I guess ...!
