There are certain stories that are so classic that they can be changed into many different forms. Edmond Rostand’s 1897 play Cyrano de Bergerac has inspired numerous films in the past 123 years. That includes at least 10 straight-up adaptations, as well as movies like Roxanne and Megamind, which used the framework of the story to tell their own unique tales. The latest to give its own twist to the Cyrano story is Netflix’s The… from News Feed – CultureMap Houston https://ift.tt/2KMsPO6 from WordPress https://ift.tt/3aTS0sR

Texas is trying to slowly, but surely, get businesses up-and-running again starting on Friday, May 1. For those who still think it’s not quite safe yet to venture out, stay at home and check out these streaming selections.

Since closing in March, many of Houston’s cultural organizations and institutions have continued to wait and see while planning for multiple reopening contingencies. Gov. Greg Abbott’s Report to Open Texas announcement this week allows museums — like restaurants — to open following major safety guidelines and with a 25-percent capacity regulation. Therefore, some of those organizations have gone from preparing to implementing. With announcements beginning to trickle in, we take a look at which art… from News Feed – CultureMap Houston https://ift.tt/2KQ8kQR from WordPress https://ift.tt/3aTrdNo

By now, we’ve heard that a sudden loss of smell or taste can be one of the earliest signs of COVID-19. But Dr. Sreekrishna K. Donepudi, an otolaryngologist with Memorial Hermann Medical Group Sugar Land Multi- Specialty, says the symptom is not always a cause for panic. “Losing your sense of smell doesn’t mean with certainty that you have coronavirus, so don’t be alarmed,” he says.

The COVID-19 lockdown has meant many Houstonians are working for home — and has meant a dramatic decrease in traffic. While no time is ideal for highway work, these days, less drivers on the road means traffic headaches could be a little more palpable. One such headache is a new project announced by the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT), which will restripe a section of IH 610 West Loop southbound from IH 10 Katy Freeway… from News Feed – CultureMap Houston https://ift.tt/2yTkFRF from WordPress https://ift.tt/2ySj3Yd

One of the very few restaurant-related bright spots from the coronavirus pandemic may become a permanent part of dining in Texas. Governor Greg Abbott recently tweeted his support for continuing to allow restaurants to sell alcohol to-go “forever.” As CultureMap has previously reported, the governor signed a waiver allowing restaurants to sell beer, wine, and mixed drinks for both to-go and delivery, providing that the drinks are served with food and the alcoholic beverages remained… from News Feed – CultureMap Houston https://ift.tt/3d89T8Z from WordPress https://ift.tt/2xqYe5W

With the nonstop news of the COVID-19 pandemic, subsequent fear of loss of livelihoods, and even the fear of opening up Texas too early, nerves are on edge.

Dozens of Houston restaurants will reopen for dine-in service on Friday, May 1. This list includes almost exclusively locally owned establishments from across a variety of price points and parts of Houston.

When stories are told about the LGBTQ+ segment of society, they rarely focus on older people. Yes, historical films go back in time to illuminate events like the Stonewall Riots and other touchpoints in the fight for gay civil rights, but those films tend to show the people when they were young and vibrant, not as they’re aging.

Though states around the country– including Texas– have been slowly but surely been trying to reopen businesses and public places and so forth amid this global pandemic, there have been many events that are still cancelled and won’t go down until sometime next year.

Even though Texas restaurants are allowed to reopen at 25-percent occupancy beginning May 1, to-go dining will be a part of most establishments’ offerings for the foreseeable future.

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott’s ruling that all retail stores, restaurants, movie theaters, malls, libraries and museums will open at 25 percent has sent local leaders scrambling to adjust to the directive.
