A request concerning the “Top Lists” be they events or public art etc. It would be nice to hear the reasoning behind the choices, not to dispute the recommendations but to give some objectivity to the choices made. For instance “We like the bubbly river thing because of it’s playfulness and serendipitous surprise.” or ” We like the big pink granite things because that their sheer mass, like a Richard Serra work, makes you feel small, like an ant playing on a giants picnic table.” Then I can get excited about what turns you guys on about the works as well as experiencing the works for myself. Just a suggestion.
Small correction Bill: Sam Houston is not from Texas. He was born in rural western Virginia and came to Texas (actually fled to Texas to escape a legal judgement) when he was nearly forty years old. Died in Huntsville.

Hi 34%, we could totally put together a tour for you! That would be fun.
Oh wait — were you just kidding?

Appreciated Bill’s parkour-inspired approach to 45-90-180
Any chance Glasstire could publish a list, not just the video?
Fun, and a couple I did not know about.
