Also this hour: Every Houstonian has something they miss, but should we still be missing it? As the year wraps up, we’re asking which beloved parts of the city deserve remembrance and which might be holding us back.<\/p>\n

And for 40 years, Houston chef Courtney Lindsay<\/a> didn\u2019t know his biological father. Then the two found each other and formed a close relationship.
