On Friday's show: We get an update on controversial plans to close a two-block section of Polk Street as a part of the $2 billion expansion of the George R. Brown Convention Center.
Also this hour: Children's author Kate DiCamillo talks about how teachers reading to her in school helped shape her into a two-time Newbery Medal winner. DiCamillo, the author of titles like Because of Winn-Dixie and The Tale of Despereaux, will be in Houston for an event with Inprint on Sunday to discuss her latest book, Lost Evangeline.
Then, we break down The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly of the week.
And it's been 50 years since Houston Grand Opera first presented the American opera Porgy and Bess, which won the organization a Tony and a Grammy Award. As the Gershwins' folk opera returns to the stage, we reflect on its legacy.
