On Thursday's show: With Houston City Council finally approving the city's budget, we talk with Sallie Alcorn, At-Large Council Member Position 5 and the chair of the Budget and Fiscal Affairs Committee.

Also this hour: We examine how commercial real estate is doing in Houston.

Then, we consider ways that downtown Houston could be changed and revitalized, inviting input from listeners.

And we learn about the Houston Show Choir, one of the oldest performing arts groups in the city.
