THE JUNIOR LEAGUE OF HOUSTON, INC. OF HOUSTON, THE JUNIOR LEAGUE HOUSTON NEWS HOUSTON Houston Dallas Grapevine SewellCadillac.com JOURNEY WITH THE JUNIOR LEAGUE Hope for a healthy future Steadfast When you’re little, nothing comforts you quite like your mother’s touch. Time marches on, but a mother’s love never does; its imprint stays with you forever. Likewise, a woman’s experience giving birth often stays with her in vivid detail for the rest of her life. That’s one reason why we believe women should be in charge of choosing the delivery they want – midwife or OB, natural or medicated, VBAC or C-section – while we stand by with the experience and expertise to ensure medical needs are met. Here for life. Juliana’s care at Texas Children’s Hospital began in the months before her birth because of a severe congenital heart defect. Her family feared the worst when she was also born prematurely. But when she was 17 days old, Juliana received a new heart—and her family received the hope they were seeking. Texas Children’s is dedicated to providing the highest quality care for all those who come to us for treatment, from before birth into their adult lives. Your donation can help us do just that and give children like Juliana the best chance for a happy and healthy future. Donate today at give.texaschildrens.org © 2020 Texas Children’s Hospital.

  • Dissimilarity and the North American Gallerias of Houston and Toronto
    A Tale of Two Cities: Dissimilarity and the North American Gallerias of Houston and Toronto On the surface, the North American cities of Houston and Toronto share very lit- tle in common. Their climates, geographies, cultures, and urban forms are radi- cally different. Their political sensibilities and civic aspirations reveal remarkably divergent philosophies in regard to the public realm. However, both cities rep- resent dynamic, global, cosmopolitan places that are important at national and international scales. Both cities act as primary gateways for immigrants to their respective nations. Each witnessed rapid expansion and transformative devel- opment in the 1970s that shifted their economic and cultural significance on a global scale. It was during this time that both cities received several key architectural land- GREGORY MARINIC marks, and more particularly, a destination-type, regional shopping com- University of Houston plex modelled on the Galleria Emanuele II in Milan. These new buildings—the Houston Galleria and the Toronto Eaton Centre—reflected a shift toward alterna- tive approaches to retail, urbanism, and the public realm in their respective cities. Through the lens of consumption, this essay examines the divergent histories of the Houston Galleria and Toronto Eaton Centre in regard to their design, plan- ning, and development agendas. It discusses larger urban issues that emerged at a critical moment in history when Houston and Toronto would embark upon vastly different paths of urban growth. Developmental practices evidenced in the design and construction of these gallerias would come to define contrasting urban cultures which evolved incrementally over the next thirty years. PLACELESSNESS AND UTOPIA Shopping malls represent contemporary North American and increasingly global cultural sensibilities and desires.

    Handbook of texas glenn mccarthy Continue Glenn McCarthyBornLand Herbert McCarthy (1907-12-25)December 25, 1907Bomont, Texas, USA Died December 26, 1988 (1988-12-26) (age 81)Houston, Texas, USA, U.S. State University, Rice University, University Of Southeast L.A. The media often called him Diamond Glenn and King Wildcatters. McCarthy was an oil prospector and entrepreneur who owned many businesses in various sectors of the economy. McCarthy founded the Shamrock Hotel in Houston, which gained national fame and inspired the fictional character Jett Rink in Edna Ferber's 1952 novel The Giant, which in 1956 became the film starring James Dean in the role. Early life McCarthy was born in Beaumont, Texas, nearly seven years after the discovery of oil in Spindletop. His father, Will McCarthy, worked in the oil fields and from the age of eight Glenn served roughnecks as waterboy for 50 cents a day. During the oil drilling boom near Houston, the family moved to the city, where his father got a job. When he was 17, Glenn enlisted in the U.S. Navy and then returned to San Jacinto High School. He attended Tulane University on a football scholarship, but injured his leg. He later attended the University of Texas and Rice before dropping out of college and going into business. When he was 23, McCarthy married 16-year-old Faustin Lee, whose father William Lee was a partner at the oil company Yount-Lee. McCarthy later claimed he had less than $1.50 in his name when he married. He persuaded his father and brother to work with him drilling for oil in Hardin County, Texas.
