Local band Celebrated Workingman calls it quits
Fans of local rock group Celebrated Workingman, I hope you aren't busy Saturday night. Just four days before the group is slated to open for Retribution Gospel Choir at Cactus Club, Workingman's frontman Mark Waldoch has announced on Facebook that Saturday's gig will be the band's last.
No explanation was given for the break-up, but Waldoch gushed about a special bassist booked for the show--Milwaukeean Scott Schoenbeck, of The Promise Ring and Dashboard Confessional fame--and expressed gratitude to the band's supporters. »Read Full Blog Post

Atlas BBQ in Grafton serves seriously good barbecue
Barbecue isn't so much a Milwaukee thing, narrowly speaking. Sure, we grill bratwurst over charcoal like nobody's business, but barbecue is altogether different, cooking beef and pork low and slow until it's infused with wood-smoke flavor. Barbecue like that isn't broadly part of the culture, part of our DNA, the way it is in Texas, say, or North Carolina.
So it's a little stunning to see the profusion of smoked-meat establishments that have popped up in the past year or so. »Read Full Article(6)

Before the Ford Focus Electric pace car leads the field at the Capital City 400 this weekend, the battery-powered hatchback revealed itself today as Virginia's Lt. Governor Bill Bolling drove the EV to Richmond International Raceway. The Focus EV will become the first-ever all-electric NASCAR pace car.
Two Ford electric pace cars were unveiled today at the Virginia State Capitol to kick of this weekend's race, with company including NASCAR's managing director of Green Innovation, Mike Lynch. "The arrival of the 2012 Ford Focus Electric pace car is a strong example of how the innovation cycle around green transportation is accelerating," Lynch said during the pace cars' reveal.
Ford has certainly helped accelerate that process, not only with the Ford Focus EV pace car, but first with the Ford Fusion Hybrid pace car. The Fusion hybrid marked the first time a hybrid served as a NASCAR pace car at the Ford 400 in 2008 at Homestead-Miami Speedway.
The Ford Focus EV can recharge in about half the time as the Leaf (3 to 4 hours for the Ford), and has EPA-rated figures of 110/99 city/highway gas-equivalent mpg (mpge) over the Leaf's 106/92. As soon as Ford determines how to make the Focus EV sound as pleasing as a Mustang GT, the automaker might really capture our attention.

Channing Tatum may join Jonah Hill for '21 Jump Street'
"21 Jump Street" was a very silly show.
Oh, I know they had their share of "very special" episodes, but the whole thing about undercover cops working the high school beat was ridiculous, and '80s TV in general was just plain crazy for the most part.
The first time Jonah Hill mentioned to me that he was going to work on a new movie version of the show, I thought he was crazy. But then he explained his take a bit, and then they hired Michael Bacall, the screenwriter for "Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World," and then Phil Lord and Chris Miller, who co-directed the very funny and better-than-it-should-be "Cloudy With The Chance of Meatballs," were hired to direct the film, and then I actually read a draft of the script, and, well…
… I think "21 Jump Street" might be sort of awesome.
Deadline is reporting tonight that Channing Tatum is in negotiations to be Jonah Hill's partner in the film. That means Hill will be playing Schmidt, and Tatum will play Jenko. In the opening of the draft I read, the two of them are working undercover together and get called out by the drug dealers they're trying to bust for being too young. They're miserable because of how youthful they look, and it screws up their work. Finally, their boss gives them one last chance, assigning them to the team working out of 21 Jump Street.
The rest of the team will have to be cast, including Harry Truman Jr., a tough Latina named Lucy, Jackson Fugazy, Grady Flynn, and their captain, Captain Dicks. The script I read is absolutely R-rated, unrelentingly dirty, and it's a comedy from start-to-finish. In the film, they're assigned to one of the richest high schools in Los Angeles to track down the source of a new designer drug called "Holy F**king S**t." They go undercover as "The McQuaid Brothers," violent psychopaths who have been kicked out of six schools for various crimes.
It's a preposterous script, and there's at least a few big laughs on every page. I'm not the biggest Channing Tatum fan, but as written, the role is perfect for him, and I think he'd make a fascinating foil for Hill. We'll see if the deal closes, but right now, it sounds like he'll be reporting for duty with Hill when the film starts production in the spring.
"21 Jump Street" will arrive in theaters March 16, 2012.

A Francophile (Gallophile) is a person who has a strong affinity towards the French language, French history, French culture or French people. That affinity may include France itself or its history, the French language, French cuisine, literature, etc. The term "Francophile" can be contrasted with Francophobe (or Gallophobe), someone who dislikes all that is French.
Francophilia often arises in former French colonies, where the elite spoke French and adopted many French habits. In other European countries such as Romania and Russia, French culture has also long been popular among the upper class.
Historically, Francophilia has been associated with supporters of the philosophy of Enlightenment during and after the French Revolution, where democratic uprisings challenged the autocratic regimes of Europe.
Romania has a long and deeply entrenched tradition of Francophilia beginning after the Enlightenment and Revolutionary periods.[1][2] No doubt the most famous contemporary Romanian Francophile is Eugen Weber (1925–2007), a prodigious author and lecturer in both English and French on French history. In his book "My France: politics, culture, myth", he writes: "Social relations, manners, attitudes that others had to learn from books, I lived in my early years. Romanian francophilia, Romanian francophony.... Many Romanians, in my day, dreamed of France; not many got there".[3]
With the efforts to build Romania into a modern nation-state, with a national language and common national heritage, in the 19th century, the Romanian language was deliberately reoriented to its Latin heritage by a steady import of French neologisms suited to contemporary civilization and culture. "For ordinary Romanians, keen on the idea of the Latin roots of their language, 'Romance' meant 'French.'"[4] An estimated 39% of Romanian vocabulary consists of borrowings from French, with an estimated 20% of "everyday" Romanian vocabulary.[5]
Boia writes: "Once launched on the road of Westernization, the Romanian elite threw itself into the arms of France, the great Latin sister in the West. When we speak of the Western model, what is to be understood is first and foremost the French model, which comes far ahead of the other Western reference points."[2] He quotes no less than the leading Romanian politician Dimitrie Drăghicescu, writing in 1907: "As the nations of Europe acquire their definitive borders and their social life becomes elaborated and crystallized within the precise limits of these borders, so their spiritual accomplishments will approach those of the French, and the immaterial substance of their souls will take on the luminous clarity, the smoothness and brilliance of the French mentality."[2]
Other notable Romanian Francophiles include Georges Enesco, Constantin Brâncuși, Emil Cioran, Mircea Eliade, Eugène Ionesco and Nobel Peace Prize winner Elie Wiesel.
18th and 19th century Russian Francophilia is familiar to many from Tolstoy's War and Peace and Anna Karenina, and his characters from the Russian aristocracy converse in French and give themselves French names. At the time, the language of diplomacy and higher education across much of Europe was French. Russia, recently "modernized", or "Westernized", by the rule of sovereigns from Peter the Great to Catherine the Great was no exception. The Russian elite, in the early 18th century, were educated in the French tradition and made a conscious effort to imitate the manners of France. Their descendants, a generation or two later, were no longer "imitating" French customs but grew up with them, and the strong impact of the French culture on Russian upper and even middle classes was evident, on a smaller scale than in the 18th century, until the Revolution of 1917.[6]
Spain and Portugal[edit]
"Afrancesado" (lit. "turned-French") was the term used for Spanish and Portuguese partisans of Enlightenment ideas, liberalism or the French Revolution. It also denoted supporters of the French occupation of Iberia and of the First French Empire.
Francophilia or Rattachism is a marginal political ideology in some parts of Belgium. Rattachism would mean the incorporation of French speaking Belgium, Wallonia (and sometimes Brussels; more rarely of the entire Belgium) into France. This movement has existed since the Belgian state came into existence in 1830.
The Manifesto for Walloon culture of 1983,[7] relaunched in 2003,[8] and a series of discussions witnessed a will of emancipation.
The establishment of the Crusader Kingdom of Cyprus, in 1192, was the beginning of intense French influence on the island for the next three centuries. That influence, which touched almost every aspect of life on the island, would endure even after the end of Lusignan domination. It survives as part of Cypriot culture. The Republic of Cyprus became an associate member of the Francophonie in 2006.
The Armenians of Cilicia welcomed the Frankish, or French, Crusaders of the Middle Ages as fellow Christians. There was much exchange, and the last dynasty to rule Armenian Cilicia, the Lusignans (who ruled Cyprus) was of French origin.
During the reign of Louis XIV, many Armenian manuscripts were taken into the National Library of France. Armenia and Armenian characters are featured in the works of Montesquieu, Voltaire, and Rousseau. The first instance of Armenian studies began with the creation of an Armenian department in the School of Oriental languages, at the initiative of Napoleon.
An important figure of Armenian Francophilia was that of Stepan Vosganian (1825–1901). Arguably the first Armenian "intellectual" and literary critic, Vosganian "represents the prototype of a long line of Armenian intellectuals nurtured in and identified with European, and particularly French, culture". Educated in Paris, he was a champion of liberalism and the positivist philosophy of Auguste Comte, and he took part in the French Revolution of 1848.[9]
The French political classes were on the whole supportive of the Armenian national movement. The French–Armenian Agreement (1916) was a political and military accord to create the Armenian Legion in the French Army to fight on the Allied side of World War I, in return for promises of recognition of Armenian independence. The Armenian Legion engaged successfully in Anatolia and Palestine during World War I, particularly at the Battle of Arara and during the Franco-Turkish War.
The oldest documented possible contact between the two sides was the marriage of Stephen Uroš I of Serbia and Helen of Anjou in the 13th century.
The first important contacts of French and Serbs came only in the 19th century, when the first French travel writers wrote about their travels to Serbia.[10] At that time Karađorđe Petrović, the leader of the Serbian Revolution, sent a letter to Napoleon expressing his admiration. On the other hand, in the French parliament, Victor Hugo asked France to assist in protecting Serbia and the Serbian population from Ottoman crimes. Diplomatic relations with France were established on 18 January 1879.[11] Rapid development of bilateral relations done that people in Serbia in "mighty France" seen great new friend that will protect them from the Ottomans and Habsburgs.[10] Relations between Serbia and France would go upwards until the First World War, when the "common struggle" against a common enemy would reach its peak. Before the war, France would win sympathy of local population by building railways by opening of French schools and a consulate and a Bank. Several Serbian kings were at universities in Paris as well as a large part of the future diplomats.[10] Serbs have built a sense of Francophilia because the activities moved them away from the Ottoman and Habsburg Empires.[10] For Serbs until 1914, French have become major allies what were even a threat for traditional inclination towards Russia. The great humanitarian and military assistance that France sent to Serbia during First World War, assistance in the evacuation of children, civilians and military at the end, and the support of French newspaper headlines even today are deeply ingrained in the collective consciousness of large number of Serbs.[10]
Notable Serbian Francophiles include Ilija Garašanin[12] and Sava Šumanović.[13]
As with much of the Western world and the Middle East at the time, Francophilia was quite common in Iran in the 19th century. However, in Iran, many key politicians and diplomats of the 20th century were French-educated or avid Francophiles. Among them Teymur Bakhtiar, the founder of the Iranian intelligence agency, SAVAK; Amir-Abbas Hoveida, Prime Minister of Iran from 1965 to 1977; Hassan Pakravan, a diplomat and intelligence figure; Nader Jahanbani, General under the last Shah; and Abdullah Entezam-Saltaneh, another famous diplomat to the West.
And if there was one thing that characterized the Shah and the ancien regime of hoveydas and tabatabais, it was francophilia, French education, the French language. The Shah himself had attended Le Rosey in Switzerland. French lycees flourished in Teheran. The Shahbanou herself was part of the francophilia that in Iran was as notable a feature as it had been of pre-Revolutionary Russia. England was always, in Iranian eyes, the suspect, the enemy. England was the country of the Anglo-Iranian Oil Company. But France offered the "perfected civilisation" of Chamfort.[14]
Ottoman Empire[edit]
Orientalism first arose in Early Modern France with Guillaume Postel and the French Embassy to the court of the Ottoman Sultan Suleiman the Magnificent.[15] Later, when Mehmed IV sent the ambassador Müteferrika Süleyman Ağa to the court of Louis XIV in 1669, it caused a sensation that triggered the Turquerie fashion craze in France and then the rest of Western Europe, which lasted until well into the 19th century.[16][17]
The Ottoman Empire granted France special privileges on account of the Franco-Ottoman alliance. French mercantilism was protected, French subjects were exempt from the taxes and tributes normally required of Christian residents of the Empire, no French subjects could be taken into Ottoman slavery and French subjects were granted full freedom of worship. Thus, France became the unofficial protector of all Catholics in the East.[18]
In the late 18th and 19th centuries, French and British colonial influence increased in Anatolia and the Middle East, and the French language and customs penetrated deep into the Ottoman learned classes and aristocracy; French was the preferred second language, rich Ottomans sent their children to school and Universities in France and the Western "Enlightenment" was associated with French culture[19] Modern Turkish continues to have many French loanwords that were adopted in this period, and 5,350 Turkish words are of French origin, according to the Turkish Language Society, one eighth of a standard dictionary.[20] List of replaced loanwords in Turkish#Loanwords of French origin Francophilia still exists to a rather limited extent in modern Turkey.[20] Vestiges of the 19th and early 20th century Francophilia include the famous Pera Palace hotel in Istanbul.[21]
The French Revolution and its ideals of "Liberty, Equality, and Fraternity" inspired many secular and progressive movements in Ottoman Turkey, including the Young Turk movement that would go on to create the Republic of Turkey.[22] Napoleon's breaking of the age-old Franco-Ottoman alliance by conquering Ottoman-controlled Egypt also had an effect.[23]
North America[edit]
With the inception of Canada's Charter of Rights and Freedoms and the institution of French immersion in many schools following the Official Languages Act of 1969, many Canadians of English heritage have developed a greater appreciation for the French culture that is a part of the Canadian identity. English and French are the two official languages of Canada and two of its founding languages.
United States[edit]
There is great interest in America in French culture, including French food, art, philosophy, politics, as well as the French lifestyle in general. Historically, French style, particularly that of Paris, has long been considered the height of sophistication by Americans of all social classes.
French support of the American Revolution was probably a significant factor in shaping American's feelings towards France. Prior to that, the French had been seen as rivals for control of North America until their decisive defeat in the French and Indian War. With the elimination of France as a major colonial power in North America, the rivalry between American colonists and British interests became primary, and France's role switched to that of a counter to British power.
Pro-French sentiment was probably strengthened by the overthrow of the French monarchy and the creation of a "brother-republic" in France. Notwithstanding the turmoil of the French Revolution, certain disputes between the two countries, and the renewal of British-American ties, generally good relations continued. During the Napoleonic era, the Louisiana Purchase, and the entry of the United States into another war against Britain, concurrent with Franco-British hostilities, gave a certain sense of common cause.
Among the most famous early American Francophiles was Thomas Jefferson.[24][25] Even during the excesses of the Reign of Terror, Jefferson refused to disavow the revolution because he was, as Jean Yarbrough wrote, "convinced that the fates of the two republics were indissolubly linked. To back away from France would be to undermine the cause of republicanism in America."[26] Commenting on the continuing revolutions in the Netherlands and France, Jefferson predicted that "this ball of liberty, I believe most piously, is now so well in motion that it will roll round the globe, at least the enlightened part of it, for light & liberty go together. it is our glory that we first put it into motion."[27] Jefferson would often sign his letters "Affectionately adieu" and commented late in life "France, freed from that monster, Bonaparte, must again become the most agreeable country on earth."[28] The 1995 film Jefferson in Paris by James Ivory, recalls the connection. The "staunchly Francophile"[29] Jefferson and, by extension, his adherents or "Jeffersonians", were characterized by his political enemies, the Federalists, as "decadent, ungodly and immoral Francophiles".[30]
Benjamin Franklin, who spent seven years as the popular United States Ambassador to France was also a Francophile.[31]
Massachusetts Republican Senator Henry Cabot Lodge Jr. spent his first three grades in a Parisian school and majored in Romance Languages and Literatures at Harvard. Henry Cabot Lodge Sr., his grandfather, was also a Francophile and befriended Jean Jules Jusserand, the French Ambassador to the US.
Many Americans have studied at art schools in France, including the Beaux Arts academy in Paris, the premier institution of its kind in the country. The students and graduated alumni have been deeply influential on American style, particularly during the 19th and the early 20th centuries.
Francophile sentiment in America was deeply influential on American public opinion and involvement in both World Wars.
On the subject of cuisine, Julia Child is probably the most famous of many Francophile-American chefs and of many American graduates of French cooking-schools.
Other notable francophiles include actor Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Bill Maher, Blake Lively,[32] Natalie Portman, Steven Gabrielle and Robert Crawford.[citation needed]
The French-American Chamber of Commerce organization has worked to promote business ties between the two countries. A Dallas Morning News interview has described the Beaujolais Wine Festival, the largest such festival in the US, as a major event for those interested in French culture to mix.[33]
Since the times of Porfirio Díaz, the Mexican upper class has shown a strong admiration of French culture, language, architecture and customs.

The case of a women's rape by a Stanford student and the lenient sentence handed down by Judge Persky to her assailant Brock Turner has created outrage and waves of protest including petitions for his recall here and here and here. Guilt wasn't in doubt – the assault was interrupted by witnesses. However, it's nothing new to see short sentences, lesser counts, or probation. Failure to prosecute or even accept a report from a survivor is common. His father says his son's life shouldn't be ruined by "20 minutes of action".

Red Faction: Guerrilla
An explosive kind of MarsBy Jacob Forrest Score:
Jul 18, 2009 10:17PM PST
In developer Volition's Red Faction: Guerrilla, the world is your destructible oyster. While there's a sense of adventure to be gotten from exploring a colonized Mars, the sense of mayhem from wreaking havoc upon hundreds of different structures, vehicles, and of course people, is the primary factor here. Even though a less-than-engaging story and boring mission structures bog it down, Red Faction: Guerrilla is a sandbox stress-ball of a third-person action game which offers both exciting single player and multi player modes.
Your character Alec Mason is a member of a secret organization called Red Faction, whose objective is to weed out the all powerful Earth Defence Force (EDF) on Mars by liberating six sectors. Alec doesn't have much stake in the organization – he's only recruited because his brother, a member of Red Faction, is murdered – and his goal is one of revenge. The plot rarely progresses as you blow your way through the enormous amount of missions, so it tends to fade into the back drop and feels like an afterthought.
But that's okay, because as aforementioned, Red Faction: Guerrilla's main feature is the ability to annihilate your environment. Whether it's a tiny news booth or a gigantic vehicle hangar, it can be destroyed in a variety of ways. Although you'll have access to an assortment of guns, the most satisfying method of madness is often the trusty sledgehammer. Watching the intricate crumbling of buildings and hearing the pounding of your hammer delivers an immense amount of thrill, and you'll most likely be reserving a good portion of the game just to tear through Mars and leave your mark.
Other than smashing your environment, you'll be battling the oppressive legions of the EDF throughout different missions. What separates these battles from that of a mediocre third-person shooter are the dynamic uses of vehicles and explosives. For example, you can ram a truck into an EDF base then explode their energy supply with a slew of grenades, leaving the EDF senseless. Still, there's a bit of decision making involved when pitted against a large number of EDF, and often you'll need to utilize cover and flank them strategically in order to reduce their numbers.
Surprisingly enough, not everything is used in an unorthodox fashion in Red Faction: Guerrilla. The vehicles, which range from Smart Car like buggies to mammoth mech walkers, are the main modes of transport, and rarely will you find yourself having to travel on foot. The freestyle physics of the game compliment the vehicles' handling, making driving entertaining and a definite high point.
With respect to the scale of the environment, Red Faction: Guerrilla has some boring patches. Exploring Mars, there's a lot of rock and not a whole lot of civilization, and in general the environment carries an unrefined feeling especially after hours of playing the single player game. Similarly, the missions tend to be redundant, and there really are only two unique types: ambush an EDF territory, or capture something from within an EDF base. The missions themselves aren't boring per se, but once you find yourself doing them over and over it's not unlikely to grow tired of the process.
Thankfully, the multi player mode supplied in Red Faction: Guerrilla is more than enough to remedy the potential boredom of the single-player. Typical deathmatch, team deathmatch and capture-the-flag modes are available, but there's a twist: ten types of backpack power-ups are scattered throughout the map, and you need to find one and equip it if you want to succeed. Some backpacks offer practical benefits, such as the stealth backpack which allows you to be invisible for a period of time, but others, such as the rhino backpack which gives you the ability to smash head-first into anything, are just plain fun and really mix up the multi-player experience.
Red Faction: Guerrilla is not without its flaws, but the invitation to engage in sweaty-palmed, explosive action more than makes up for its dud of a storyline and tedious missions. And whether you smash stuff and whip grenades at bad guys online or off, there's something to be said about the degree of destruction obtainable in Red Faction: Guerrilla. This is a terrific version of Mars that you'll want to blow up immediately.

NEW YORK (AP) - "Chicago" - the musical - is on the move.
Broadway's longest-running musical revival will transfer to the Ambassador Theatre Jan. 29 after more than five years at the much larger Shubert Theatre.
The show is moving to make way for the Bernadette Peters revival of "Gypsy," expected to open next April at the Shubert, one of Broadway's most desirable theaters. "Chicago" plays its last performance at the Shubert on Jan. 26. The Ambassador has 1,125 seats compared to the Shubert's 1,521.
"Chicago" originally opened at the Richard Rodgers Theatre in November 1996 but moved to the Shubert the following year. Charlotte d'Amboise stars in the show as accused murderess Roxie Hart. On Nov. 8, she will be joined by film actor Billy Zane as shady lawyer Billy Flynn and Caroline O'Connor, who appeared in the Australian production.

Jeff Buhler, screenwriter of the upcoming Clive Barker adaptation The Midnight Meat Train (trailer), just wrapped up work on his directorial debut, Insanitarium, which we last told you about back in April. Like a true creative maniac, the man is already discussing what's next for him, a film called The Hell Within.
Buhler talked to Fangoria about the film recently but found himself at a loss for words when it came to actually saying what the movie was about. "It's unlike anything I've seen or attempted to write before, and I have loved every minute of it," he told the mag. Calling it a mix of Rosemary's Baby and Dead Ringers by way of macumba witchcraft, the story follows a woman who goes to great extremes to have a child of her own.
"She and her husband David have been trying for years [to conceive]," he attempted to explain, "but stress from work and aging seem to have taken their toll. Maria's quickly approaching a serious emotional meltdown when one day the phone rings—it's a little girl calling, and she sounds like she's in trouble. In an effort to find out who this girl is and hopefully help her, Maria and David decide to fly to Brazil, the origin of the haunting phone calls, but what they find there is much more than they bargained for."
Intriguing, yes; even more so since he's working with "Love From Mother Only" director and Embodiment of Evil (the new Coffin Joe film) screenwriter Dennison Ramalho. Needless to say, it's going to be an interesting film to keep an eye on; all we have to do is wait for the WGA strike to settle so they can get to work on shooting it. You'll hear more when we do!

Rahmifications of Obama's Presidency

For Emanuel, it seems that all politics are electoral politics. He wouldn't know a social movement if he saw one.

Rated 3.8 out of 5 by 121 reviewers.
Rated 3 out of 5 by RaLaLa My last minute stay-cation As a last minute gift from a friend, a room was booked. The entrance/parking setup is a little odd but the lobby was cute. I do like that I could access my room floor from the garage elevators.The bar area was also cute but tiny. My drink was good but should have been larger or cheaper. My floor was quiet but as soon as I got into the room, the faint smell of mildew made me wish the room did not have carpet and that I had packed my shower shoes. Thank goodness for disinfectant wipes. The ceiling looked like it needed another coat of something so I did not have see exactly how it was pieced together--very uneven. The rest of the room seemed clean enough. The bed had great pillows and was very comfortable. The a/c unit was quite noisy but effective. I expected much better, especially for the location, parking fee and swanky lobby set up, but I made the most of it and got a good nights' sleep. September 28, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by amanda65 Poor value for money The first night we stayed we were bothered by the bright light from the elevator that we could not block out with the shades. The second night we moved rooms which was better for the light but at 4 AM one of the electronic devices in the room began beeping. We eventually unplugged everything we could find. The soap dispenser in the shower did not work. Parking was plentiful but we were charged $16 per night for parking. Overall very poor value for the money. September 19, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5 by Bobl99 Aloft Stay One of the worst experiences I've ever had at a Starwood facility Staff was rude Room had the loudest air conditioner I've ever heard No fresh banana's at breakfast The eating area was filthy Only bright spot was when one of the kitchen personel gave me a glass of milk with my breakfast PS -- even this survey site is bad....

Rated 5 out of 5 by kgbs stay only issue was a large wad of hair in shower drain September 9, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5 by drenee Worst Experience Ever!!!!!!! I booked through Hotels tonight and when I arrived they had no record of my reservation. First issue. Second issue, the room is very basic and just felt like a boarding house. Third issue, I was charged twice for parking. Fourth issue, I called about the double charge and was told it would be reversed. A month later the charge has still not been reversed. Fifth issue, I called back about the charges, and you can NEVER reach a manager hear. They all don't arrive to work until 3 pm, but you can't get them on the phone so it really doesn't matter. Final issue, I followed up because the charge was never reversed, and I was told I had to send them my bank statement as proof of the charge!!! I have never heard of anything so ridiculous! What hotel doesn't have record of a charge they ran. Still cannot get in touch with a manager. September 8, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by 214Traveler Not so much.... I'm not a needy person, in fact, I clean up almost all my mess when I leave from any hotel stay just because I know how hard a housekeeper works. The one thing that really made my stay unpleasant was the horrible smell that lingered in the hallways. It was this natural gas smell, not sure if there is a leak somewhere in this building, but definitely not good. The décor from afar is nice, but when you start getting close, you realize it hasn't really been kept up with, so it looks really cheap. (the fabric that covers the light fixtures) The lobby was beautiful, love the pantry type area, and lounge area too. The staff always had bubbly attitudes which is really great too. I don't want to say this place is a total waste, but needs cosmetic improvements for sure. September 8, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by John152 Great Location Adjacent to and across the street from two upscale steak houses and diagonally located from an upscale seafood restaurant Aloft's Galleria location cannot be beat August 30, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Terry2014 Houston August Stay The hotel was in par with the other Aloft's that I've stayed in. When I got there I was told that they couldn't hold my reservation that they would place me in a different room and offered me $9.00 at the Re-fuel center each day for the inconvenience. No explanation to speak of looks like I got bumped for someone whom was at a higher tier than myself. The hotel is beginning to show some wear and tear at least in the room I was in. Overall not a bad stay but sometimes it's the little things that make the difference. August 22, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by LauraB00100 Love aloft I love it! I travel for work every week, and the aloft is my favorite place to stay when I am away from home. It makes something mundane feel more special, and the location/views/staff are great. August 21, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Kwilliams81 Above and Beyond Customer Service I recently stayed at your Houston Galleria location. I wanted to tell you that your Team Member Chandra Turk-Henderson is one of the most professional and courteous tem members that I have encountered. She was very informative and went above and beyond to ensure I had a great stay!! I travel quite often and it's truly rare to meet associates like Chandra who treats you as a real person and not just a number. She also displayed the ability to be just as courteous when under pressure from large amounts of guest checking in at the same time!! August 19, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by RogerW Disapointed I stayed many nights (100+) at this location in 2012, at that time the service was top notch and I would highly recommend the hotel. Last weekend did not live up to my previous experience and expectations. There is a $16 charge for parking (previously parking was iincluded in my corporate rate) but no metion of this during the reservation process. Valet parking is taking up the first 3 levels; however, over 90% of these spaces were available. If valet is not being used, then they should have fewer reserved spaces. The 5th floor parking is reserved for employees; so there is only 1 floor available for guest parking. Unable to access elevator from 5th floor parking garage door; card key does not work. August 18, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by JayC31 Great stay! Had a great stay at Aloft Houston by the galleria. The staff was very responsive to any requests I had and the hotel has a great modern urban vibe in a great location! August 15, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by Sam3 This hotel was moderate. Bar food selection was poor. I arrived at 8:30PM and was unable to order from the menu. Either the bartender just did not want to place the order or felt it was a pain to fill the order. I had almonds for dinner. August 15, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5 by Mur578 Noisy rooms and lack of hot water This hotel has the thru wall AC units. Unfortunately some of the rooms the AC units are so badly maintained, it sounds like a plane is landing in the room. Hot water was also a major concern. Plenty of hot water in the evening, but complete lack of hot water during the morning. Engineer 'claimed' it was fixed, but after my second cold shower, I had to conclude the engineering either didn't come or didn't do a thing. I had to switch rooms twice during my three night stay. I've stayed in plenty of Aloft hotels, But I would not recommend this hotel to any work colleagues. August 14, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by hparkerray Best Stay at Houston Galleria -Friendly staff -nice spacious rooms -better value than surronding hotels in the area -great for business travellers -excellent location August 11, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by TEXASPLATINUMGUEST1 Great Stay! Great stay, Megan at the front desk started my stay off with a HUGE smile and recognition of my status as a Lifetime SPG Platinum. She quickly got me in my room, it was an awesome stay. I would recommend that you go back to the old soap in the bathroom. The litte nasty "motel" square hard soap was terrible to use. I would also like to see pay for view movies in the room as well. Thank you August 7, 2014

Rated 4 out of 5 by OAAAHT Great location, Friendly, Responsive Staff, & Worthwhile The location is close to the Galleria mall, entertainment, food, and businesses. Staff are friendly and very service oriented, they try to make your stay simple and easy by responding to your needs. The rate is reasonable in comparison to other similar hotels within the area. New style of stay. August 2, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Kevin270 Smokey Hi, I stayed on the 8th floor and twice I spoke to the front desk about cigarette smoke either from a room (~819-820 or the hotel service room) or from ventilation. Both times it seemed to be shrugged off. If it is the ventilation I hope someone will address the issue because the Aloft is billed as a non-smoking hotel. August 1, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by Ron82 Disappointing Upon arrival to the hotel there was a line of disgruntled guest at the check-in counter. However, we were checked in with a quickness and promptly went up to our room. The room was very hot when we arrived and never fully cooled off, even at night. This left both my fiancee and I sweating throughout the night and waking up with nothing but a bad attitude and fatigue to show for. Also, we were locked out of the hotel elevators in the parking garage for some unknown reason for about a half hour. The key card access finally started working but sadly we were both left drenched in sweat. All of this was reported to the the front desk attendee only to have the answer of " there's nothing I can do about it, sorry." I will never stay at another Aloft hotel or anything affiliiated with W hotels. I do not recommend this hotel. The only thing that kept me from leaving was the excellent service Carly, the bartender, provided us. She was very professional and a joy to be around. July 28, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Terry2014 Aloft July stay The hotel is in a good location just minutes from the Galleria. The rooms are as expected, clean, and functional. Staff was ready and willing to help with every need. Parking is Expensive and No shuttle service offered to Hobby. July 25, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by lflo price vs quality I paid $324/night, and for that cost, I was disappointed. My room seemed worn and old. The rubber base was dislocating from the wall, the desk chair had stains on it, the grout in the shower was yellow/orange stained. Overall, it was not worth the price, and I have had much nicer experiences for far less money. July 25, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by JustJai Home Away From Home Aloft never disappoints me, and Houston was no exception. July 23, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by TLoLN The Go-To Stay in Houston Conventiently located with a hip style and great service. July 22, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by 3M21 One thorn in my sidae I have nothing but good things to say about my stay here, aside from one thing. I find it ridiculous and irritating that I am charged $16.00 per night, to park at a hotel I have paid over $100.00 to stay at. I am sure this is common practice in Houston, but that doesn't help. Fold the parking price into the price of the room. I was not advised of this charge prior to booking the room. Left a bad taste in my mouth. I doubt I will ever stay there again based on that. July 21, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Reagan Houston Gallaria Only issue was several ladies of the evening passing through the venue , otherwise all was fine.. July 19, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by Scott6119 Good location in the Galleria area Overall it is a nice hotel. But don't go to the bar. I guess the hotel pays the bartender to text on her phone for the 30 minutes that was there. July 18, 2014

Comments about Natrapel 8-Hour Deet Free Insect Repellent Wipes, 12 ea:
I never review products, but I had to after yesterday in my backyard. My daughter and I sat down in her sandbox and immediately faced a cloud of mosquitoes. We wiped some of this stuff on us, and in five minutes, I counted three mosquitoes flying around (but not landing on us). By the time we moved to her swing, they were gone! Natrapel is amazing--and, best of all, no DEET or scary chemicals.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Keep a couple in the car or purse during the buggy season. Easier to use than spray. Somewhat expensive - wish these were available in larger packages at a lower per use price. Would skip the spray bottles in that case.
