Where's New Year's Eve Houston?

I wrote about this subject in 2005 and now the topic is hotter than ever after the city of Houston failed to keep a promised, annual tradition alive.

Is an alleged, unspoken cop shortage stopping it?

BlogHOUSTON points out how Chris Baker on News Radio 740 KTRH devoted an entire show to this topic. I never can listen to Baker's show, but thought the online archive was pretty entertaining. Baker did a good job fueling the discussion.

If you look back to my old post on this topic, I link to a Houston Chronicle archive about the late 90s New Year's Eve Houston bash. According to that article, the event seems to have been coordinated, not by the city, but the owners of Bayou Place. I contacted them this morning to inquire why the event stopped and if there are any future plans to bring it back. Will let you know if I hear from them.
