City Walk 6th Ward, 6.9 miles

The Newest ward, the oldest houses. Houston's 6th ward is a great part of town with brick streets, shotgun houses, old Victorian houses, Queen Anns, bungalows, and the occasional hovel, all protected by a a city ordinance and an historical designation so the whole area doesn't just turn into town homes. But the real purpose of today's walk is to take one last break at Platypus brewing before they close. Platypus has been a friend to walkers everywhere for their friendly parking policy and their cold beer. Parking: There is plenty of free parking around the Platypus. Wear comfortable shoes and bring plenty of water. The heat in Texas is always a concern so let someone know if you are having a hard time.
