Part of the weekend was spent looking for The Orange Show and The Flower Man House. While I had a map, the convoluted streets around bayou got me happily lost near MacGregor Way and Spanish Trail area. As I passed neighborhoods I had never seen before, I felt that Houston’s strange lack of zoning extends to individual houses. Often I would drive by homes with strange additions and extensions. Very much a Houston thing.

After much time, I found the Orange Show. The Houston Chronicle said of this strange attraction in the middle of a residential neighborhood, “….The Orange Show is a phantasmagoria, an eye- filling architectural circus, an unexpected oasis of pleasure…”

Starting to really love this place. Kolaches are very good.
It’s the perfect sign. A short name, a drawing of a drink, an arrow to show you where, and when you get there, you’ll be staring at the large TV. Drink and watch the tube, that’s what you’ll be doing at the ROLL-N.
