We're more than happy to welcome William Dylan Powell, author of "The Lost Treasures of Houston," to the Cactus Stage during our Customer Appreciation Day! So stick around, enjoy some hot pizza from Star Pizza, a refreshing St. Arnold Brewing Co. beverage, and pick up a copy of "The Lost Treasures of Houston". It makes for a great stocking stuffer!

"While it’s not New York, H-Town moves fast—albeit with paper license plates. But all of that progress means that, much like poorly loaded trucks on the Gulf Freeway, something inevitably gets lost along the way. Like the waters of Buffalo Bayou, you never seem to step in the same Houston twice—and probably shouldn’t smoke around it. AstroWorld. The Houston Oilers. Stevens & Pruett. The Great Malls of the 1980s and their Great Big Crunchy Hair. So many Houston experiences have now floated downstream into a shoebox of faded Weingarten’s photos shoved under the bed of Texas history. Until now. Lost Treasures of Houston helps you celebrate 200-plus people, places, and phenomena that once made Houston the greatest city in the world! Well, the South, anyway. Or Texas at least. Definitely the Gulf Coast north of Port Aransas and this side of Orange. So join local author William Dylan Powell and throw on your Luv Ya Blue gear, crack open a Grand Prize Beer, and get ready to laugh through the tears with this fajita-scented love letter to yesterday’s Houston." - William Dylan Powell
