I know I shouldn’t do this but I cannot resist poking a little fun at Royito’s, the new food trailer opening on W. 6th Street just East of Lamar.
The trailer is having a soft opening this week and word is that GSD&M Idea City co-founder Roy Spence himself is handing out free breakfast tacos and jars of his spicy sauce from the airstream through Friday of this week from 8 a.m. – 10 a.m. (or until they run out).
I stopped by today on my way back to the office from …

Pie Slice is a small store ront on the west side of Lamar between Mary and Oltorf. The flashing sign and arrow helped me find it without any problem.
Pie Slice has been open since Dec. 12. The owners …
