Photo by Lynn Lane We’re going live (and in-person) this May. Finally, along with plenty of streaming goodness, this month brings Houston a few performing arts shows on stage in front of an outdoor audience. While we might not be quite ready to throw open all the doors of our many theaters and performing venues yet, Miller Outdoor Theater brings us back to the seats and the hill for the excitement of being an audience again.

I dream of the day when the Hollywood the whole world associates with movie magic is brought back to life on the blocks tourists always come to see.
I dream of tourists leaving Hollywood Boulevard not underwhelmed and disappointed but thrilled by the richness of all they’ve learned there about the origins and history of the movies.
In this dream of mine, I see an especially bright future for a small alley just south of the boulevard, which at this moment could hardly be more obscure.
Because I think so many visitors to Hollywood would love to know about this unnamed space where, in the early, exhilarating, madcap days of moviemaking, three of the greatest Hollywood stars of all time shot parts of three of their greatest films.
BRADFORD Police Museum, which has been closed throughout the Covid pandemic, is looking for people to support its flagship vehicle collection. Its unique fleet of vehicles includes one of the first Austin Metros to come off the production line in 1980, a 1960 Ford Consul police car, plus five motorcycles dating back to the 1960s. The independent museum has a number of historic vehicles in its collection, many of which have been star attractions at classic car shows – including the popular Bradford Classic events hosted in City Park. Bradford Police Museum – based at Bradford City Hall – is seeking sponsorship for the historic vehicles, as it prepares to reopen its doors to the public again in June, subject to national guidelines.
