area has various local magazines. Around 1991 the Houston area had various small interest magazines established to fill niches not represented in other publications. Many typically had small numbers of employees and had freelance writers write all of their articles. Many relied on advertising revenues, with copies of the magazines being distributed for free.Hassell, Greg.

Each year, some magazines start business and some go out of business. Greg Hassell of the ''Houston Chronicle'' said "Because of their limited resources, the odds are against them lasting more than a few years. But there always seems to be a few optimists who believe they can break through the barriers." After the 1980s oil bust various small magazines went out of business. Around 1991 an economic expansion allowed several small magazines to begin business. In addition increases in computer technology helped lower publishing costs, as page design could be done on a computer. In a six-month period before January 1991, five small interest magazines had been established.

In 1990 the company had 936,000 sales and a 350% growth. Lisa Collins, Creneau's former associate publisher, said that in 1993 the six community magazines had a combined sales of between $1.5 million and $2 million. After Clear sold the six community magazines to Media Ink on August 1, 1994, he had plans to pursue publishing opportunities in New Mexico.

, was founded by Lisa Collins. She began acting as a managing partner, co-owned the company with advertising director Carol Casperson Moffett and circulation and marketing director Linda Saville. On August 1, 1994, Kevin Clear sold the six community-based magazines owned by Creneau, including five neighborhood magazines and the ''Downtown Voice'', to Media Ink. Collins said that Clear could have sold the magazines to a national conglomerate, but he desired that the magazines remain locally owned.Wooding, Walker C., Jr.

The operations and employees of the six magazines were transferred. 15 full-time employees and several contract employees worked on the magazines. ''Downtown Voice'' had a circulation of 14,000 and the five neighborhood magazines had a combined circulation of 38,500. Clear worked as a consultant to Media Ink. On August 23, 1994, Media Ink had 18 employees. After the handover, one new neighborhood magazine, ''Boulevards'', had been established by Media Ink. Under Media Ink the neighborhood magazines had focuses on citywide calendar listings, historical events, lifestyle columns, local events, and people. In 1996 Media Ink changed the six monthly neighborhood magazines into a new format.Elder, Laura Elizabeth.

The company began using large, high-quality photos frequently and adopting a magazine-style format described by Walker C. Wooding, Jr. of the ''Houston Business Journal'' as "more sophisticated". 1999 Wooding said "Media Ink has transformed the design with a more sophisticated, magazine-style format and the extensive use of large, high-quality photos." He added that "In conceptualizing and styling the covers, Media Ink took the approach of treating black and white photography as high art rather than a limitation in printing" and that it slowly became "the publication's feature photography." Collins said "We feel that black and white photography should be treated as art, not as a limitation of printing." Media Ink had considered establishing other neighborhood titles, but it chose not to. Media Ink chose to distribute its magazines on newsstands to increase circulations. In its neighborhood magazines Media Ink established a new contents page "Grapevine" section that was distinct from its other regular-running columns. The company began cross-posting stories to various neighborhood publications, so that a story occurring in one neighborhood that would be of interest to another appeared in the other neighborhood's magazine. In July 1998 Collins, now named Lisa Perry, decided to reorganize the regional neighborhood magazines. The magazines, previously under six separate mastheads, were now under a single masthead, ''Houston City Life''. The six regional magazines continued to remain separate editions. In 1999 Lisa Perry was now known as Lisa Johnson. During the annual banquet of

Mark Inabnit began the magazine in 1974 using a $150,000 investment. Originally the magazine was named ''Houston Home and Garden''. Circa 1983 Inabnit sold the magazine for $7 million. The magazine's new owners changed the magazine's focus so it centered around Houston, and the magazine received the new name ''Houston Metropolitan''. Shortly after the sale, the oil bust occurred. Inabnit had returned to Houston by 1992. Another entity was in control of the magazine. Each year the magazine was operated at a loss, in the millions of dollars. Inabnit paid $90 to buy the magazine back and intended to rebuild it as a lifestyle magazine. Inabnit said "City magazines in my opinion are no longer a viable concept.
