 * Lori Rodriguez (1997): City Streets
 * Hassel, Greg. "Something's brewing/Bottoms up, Houston: Local makers of beer are tapping into city's market." Houston Chronicle. Tuesday April 26, 1994. A1.
 * "Another brewpub called The Houston Brewery is set to open this summer along the city's party strip, Richmond Avenue. There aren't many old buildings out there, so Houston Brewery is building something that will look like an old warehouse."
 * Hoffman, Ken. "A woolly tribute to Jimmy Buffett." Houston Chronicle. Monday April 7, 2008.
 * "Yucatan Liquor Stand"
 * In the "Dreamz" article: "It’s hard to even find where the likes of Yucatan Liquor Stand and Club Blue Planet once stood, but that huge 6400 building still stands in yet another incarnation. Hell, it’s practically historic today. (It even has its own Wikipedia entry.) After lives as the new wave/dance pop/ecstasy den Club 6400 and the ruinous Rockefeller’s West, the building has since housed Peter’s Wildlife, 6400 Sports Café and as predominantly Mexican hip-hop club T-Town 2000, it is now home to Planeta Bar-Rio, where trance DJs now spin their tired late ‘90s mixes." (the Wikipedia article has since been deleted)
 * Harrison, Joanne. "Hook, Line and Stinker." Houston Press. Thursday October 3, 1996. 1.
 * "Then take a trip down the Richmond Strip past Chuy's (Mexican fiesta!), Billy Blues (barbecue party!), Rock Bottom Brewery (brew-pub revels!). Now, to join the festivities, comes the King Fish Market (seafood soiree!), a late May addition to the stretch of Richmond between Fountainview and Hillcroft."
 * About King Fish Market, in the "dreamz" article Lomax said "Richmond, by contrast, used to have that sub-Landry’s fried seafood emporium King Fish Market, which despite the incessant awful commercials that polluted local airwaves circa 1999, is now out of business and practically in ruins. The whole lot of it is a great vat of rancid Velveeta."
 * Lindsey, Craig D. "Mansion on the Hill." Houston Press. Thursday December 21, 2000.
 * "Hidden behind Richmond Strip favorites like Billy Blues Bar & Grill (6025 Richmond) and Polly Esther's (6111 Richmond), The Mansion(6303 Beverly Hill) is a lavish hangout that dares to break from the blindingly white traditions of the area and actually cater to folks whom some Strip regulars would just as soon call the cops on."
 * Myler, Kathleen. "HE DANCES DIVINELY/`Iceman' warms to task with God-given talents." Houston Chronicle. Tuesday October 11, 1988. Houston Section, Page 1.
 * "Wheat retired to management at the ripe old age of 26, after stripping for several years at the original Houston Le Bare club on San Felipe. The club recently reopened at 6447 Richmond Ave. after a six-month hiatus. Le Bare lost its lease at the original location at the end of last year due, in part, to a highly publicized raid in 1986. Law officers threw a bride-to-be in jail for what they said was too much touching of a performer."
 * Bernstein, Alan. "THE SHRINKING ELECTORATE/Office-seekers plunge into mainstream / New avenues to voters tried." Houston Chronicle. Monday October 3, 1994. A1.
 * "The scene is Sam's Place and Sam's Boat, an entertainment complex that on most weekends draws thousands of people from the 18-to-32 age bracket known as Generation X."
