Demolition by Alex Steffler

This city’s ongoing roll call of doomed structures needs a new herald. Yes, Swamplot is still seeking a special someone to prepare our Daily Demolition Report from city permit records for each weekday morning. How to tell if that someone might be you: you’re a text-processing whiz, pay attention to detail, have a working knowledge of Houston geography, and the thought of approaching bulldozers gets your engines revving.

This is a regular freelance position that doesn’t pay much (do you like cream in your coffee?) but does provide a front-row seat to the day’s teardown action. (Plus, your efforts will bring a little joy to Houston’s vast population of demolition junkies.) If this sounds like the mini-gig of your dreams, tell us why — and tout your credentials to us — through the Swamplot tip line.

Well, we missed you. So why don’t we do something about it? A shiny new Swamplot editorial team is now in place (well, most of it — more on that later), testing out the furniture and getting ready to resume this site’s obsessive coverage of the Houston real estate landscape. Our regular barrage of daily updates will return shortly.




How soon? Watch this space. Or, if you prefer to be notified of Swamplot’s relaunch date by email, make sure we’ve got you on our mailing list, and you’ll be the first-ish to know. You can add yourself to the list by filling out the form here.
