The list of professions that women usually play in films is depressingly small, so it’s notable when a movie goes beyond the stereotypical roles. The High Note gives its two female leads plenty of agency in their careers, but somehow still keeps them down in their personal lives. Grace Davis (Tracee Ellis Ross) is a world-famous singer trying to keep her career current after a heyday in the 1990s and 2000s.

After hundreds of cancelled shows and a slew of virtual performances, the slumbering Houston live music scene is showing signs of waking after a long hibernation.

Earlier in May, Texas Gov. Gregg Abbott gave spas and salons the go-ahead to reopen as long as proper sanitizing was observed, and Bare Necessities took the new regulations seriously.

The COVID-19 pandemic and subsequent self-quarantining in America has seen at least one positive turn of events: more people are adopting pets, according to news reports across the country.

The restaurant industry is battling an immediate enemy in the form of the financial disruption caused by the coronavirus pandemic, but it has long term problems that also need solutions.

When Henry Richardson, the founder of Define Body and Mind looks back on this spring, his first thought, he tells CultureMap, is: “It’s been a constant transition.” Like virtually every other business in Houston, Richardson’s chic gym shut down amid the COVID-19 pandemic.

The restrictions imposed to limit the spread of the coronavirus pandemic have undoubtedly been beneficial in keeping the vast majority of Houstonians healthy, but the interruption in operations has contributed to a decline in revenue for almost every bar and restaurant.

Undoubtedly, many restaurants will either not reopen or will close sometime soon after reopening.

Without a doubt, one of the industries hardest hit by the COVID-19 pandemic has been food and beverage. When restaurants were forced to close, some were able to pivot to takeout but many were forced to temporarily or permanently shutter, devastating local communities and leaving thousands of staff without jobs.

An important Montrose restaurant has served its last meal. Indika has permanently closed, owner Mickey Kapoor tells CultureMap.
