Rodge and I are always on the hunt for good coffee in Houston and as big as the city is-I am telling you good coffee is hard to come by there! I have no idea why because Dallas and Austin have great coffee but Houston has just stumped us on the coffee scene! Of course you can find flavored fancy lattes and cappuccinos but I am talking about some really nice smooth espresso.
We discovered Wolfsmith Heights in our fave area of Houston-The Heights!

Read MoreAre there any French TV shows on Netflix?
What is the most watched TV show in France?
How can I get access to more French TV?
I am really feeling the lapse of French cinema and wonder if you notice that too?
French movies are popular around the world, but they are not always easy to access for everyone.

These include movie company inefficiencies in distribution and internationalizing production along with changing habits of how consumers watch films. Streaming took off during the first pandemic year and the industry is trying to catch up.
