The Houston Downtown Management District sez:

"Lester Holt and a crew from the Today Show were in town shooting a feature story on Houston that will run on Sunday. The Houston story is the first of four city segments (Chicago, Minneapolis and Boston are to follow), featuring off-the-beaten path attractions in "Cities They Love."

Lester interviewed Thomas Jones, Greater Houston Convention and Visitors Bureau chairman, in a canoe on Buffalo Bayou, and they also visited the Beer Can House and learned about the ongoing renovation. The cameramen filmed the view from the top of Hotel ZaZa, as well as the view of Minute Maid Park from the Alden Hotel. They also visited David Adickes' studio to see the presidents' heads and the Beatles statues.

On Monday, they flew to Lufkin to interview native Houstonian Clint Black. His suggestions (which they visited) were to visit Goode Company BBQ, Pappasito's, the ice rink at The Galleria and the Mucky Duck for great live music.

Lester was on KPRC promoting Sunday's segment, and he mentioned the My Houston campaign."
