The Eagle and it's Phoenix Room in the News!

Last October (2019) I gave a history talk to five gay travel journalists, from California
and NYC, and their goal was to write articles about what there is to see in Houston.
Several of these have come in and the latest is from the site Trip Savvy, by Lawrence
Ferber. He gave a great shout out to The Eagle and even gave two links to my History
site, Yay! The clipping I show is just part of the thorough piece.
See the full article.
