The Enron Tour

Sandra Lord is known to most around here as the Tunnel Lady. She has been giving tours in the downtown tunnels for years through her Discover Houston Tours.

Lord has branched out to other opportunities, the most notable now would be the Enron Tours:
BUS tour featuring the historic Kirby Mansion, the Front Porch Pub (a popular hangout of Enron employees featured in Rebecca Smith and John Emshwiller'’s book 24 Days), the Import Warehouse (formerly Linda Lay'’s Jus'’ Stuff), current and former homes, offices, churches, businesses, favorite restaurants, lawyers' offices, courthouses, and jails of Enron's Fab Four: Kopper, Fastow, Skilling, and Lay. Everyone gets a "share" of Enron stock and a photo opportunity in front of the most expensive Crooked E purchased during the Enron auctions. Some short walking opportunities.
If you're a couch potato and don't want to leave home, you can take a tour of the old Enron commercials instead.

Here are some pics of the wife and me way back when that infamous "Crooked E" was still on Smith street.
