Glass is forged from purified grains of sand, which themselves date back to prehistoric times when the world's beaches were blanketed in primordial ginger-ale bottles. Celebrate the world's oldest recycling program with today's Groupon: for $20, you get $50 worth of hand-blown glass art, gifts, and collectibles at 1020 Glass Art, with a location in the Second Street District.
Associated with multitudes of distinctive glass artists and studios and staffed by a team of educated art consultants, 1020 Glass Art proffers one-of-a-kind masterpieces to adorn walls, mantels, and hollowed-out tube TVs locally and nationwide. Varied vases are vibrant enough to put boastful bouquets to shame, and harlequin chandeliers give ceilings a splash of color more convenient than tedious family paintball matches. Newly featured is the Texas Collection, an array of cattle-themed creations, including the Texas-longhorn-steer wine stopper ($38.95) and the handsome western amber horns ($87.95), which celebrate the state's proud claim of having the nation's largest centaur population. Art experts are on hand to answer questions and make recommendations.

The Groupon Guide to: Available Apartments
Due to various recessions, depressions, processions, and soulful expressions, more people than ever are choosing to rent a home instead of purchasing one. Don't start your own house hunt without this handy guide to local apartment listings:
Make it Yours! $815 | Lincoln Square | 1BR | Cats OK, No Smoking |
This sunny four-roomer comes with gently used kitchen appliances, refinished "foak" (faux-oak) flooring, and a live-in cat. Workaholics will love the absence of windows! Heat included, applicants named Katie need not apply for personal reasons that should be obvious.
What if it's True? $950 | Crombler's Row | 2BR | Cats Tolerated, Smoking Encouraged |
Rustic 2br, 2bth, 1:1 ftc (floor-to-ceiling ratio), WICF (walk-in ceiling fan), RAE (refrigerator accommodates eggs). People with friends will like this apartment as it is a humble space, worthy of moderate customization to enjoy meals or just "hanging out." Heat precluded, after-hours parking lot in adjacent Food Pirate.
Apartment of an Artist as a Young Man $2800 | Crombler's Row | 0BR | Cats must remain unnamed, Smoking Mandatory |
Artfully reclaimed slaughterhouse is now the partially converted loft of every artist's dream! Large south-facing windows allow neighbors to watch you create, while ceiling-mounted bookshelves keep balloons organized. Perfect for launch parties, fundraisers, gallery shows, clumsy burlesque, insincere dodgeball, and magazines. Above/below noisy bands. No toilet (toileteria adjacent).
Go Hollywood! $745 | Brunswick Terrace | 1.75 BR | Dogs? Smoking! |
Love movies? "…have what she's having" by discovering this cozy North Vista garden dream. All you Lawnmower Men can plug in to the free WiFi, while Inception fans can explore the dreamscape in the master bed and half-bath. Animation lovers will be charmed by authentic arch-shaped cartoon mouse-holes, while western-lovers will be soothed to sleep by the sound of constant gunfire. Not cable-ready, no noise after 8 p.m.
