Chances are you’ve probably seen a “F*ck You Houston’s Awesome” sticker somewhere around town, and you have the lovely folks at FYHA to thank for that. Emblazoned on hats, tees, sweatshirts, pins and totes, the phrase has Houstonians showing their local pride through a common sentiment: Yes, this city is awesome.

Tiny hole-in-the-wall record store, Sig’s Lagoon relishes in the fact that it’s been around for nearly ever. From their website:The store’s namesake is inspired by the book “Sig Byrd’s Houston.” Sig Byrd wrote for the Houston Press and the Houston Chronicle in the late 50’s & 60’s. Much of his writings focused on the culture of the Fifth Ward & Downtown Houston – at the time aka Catfish Reef. “Lagoon” was a term used by the beatniks of the time period. It is synonymous to “cool.”
