Houston, I'm home! Salt Lake City was beautiful, but there's something deeply comforting about unlocking your own front door, flopping onto your own couch, and pretending the pile of laundry doesn't exist for at least another day. Home really is home.

Now that I'm back, let's talk about one of the biggest voices coming to Houston. Teddy Swims is headed to Toyota Center this October with the soulful vocals and chart-topping hits that turned him into a global superstar. Enter for your chance to win a pair of tickets.

MONDAY IN MONTROSE

Mondays don't have to be boring, especially in Montrose. Whether you're grabbing coffee, browsing local shops, checking out an art gallery, or ending the day with happy hour, this neighborhood knows how to make an ordinary weekday feel a little more exciting. I rounded up some of my favorite spots so you can spend less time deciding where to go and more time enjoying one of Houston's most iconic neighborhoods.

THIS WEEK

LOCALS ONLY

• Hank, Peggy, Bobby, and the rest of the gang are back. The newest King of the Hill trailer has longtime fans excited to see how the beloved Texas family takes on today's world.
