Saint Germain

These would be the new-age kooks who technically have a branch of their "church" within 300 feet of where I would like to locate the music bar I've mentioned a few times here and elsewhere.

And that means no alcohol permit, thanks to a nice City of Houston ordinance (with enforcement no doubt intended to prop up certain donators and interests along the Richmond Strip and Downtown, who would just as soon not have the competition from the once-thriving Shepherd Plaza).

So much for not having zoning in Houston.
