    There was one on Bellaire just west of Strake / St Agnes until about 1987 or so.

    Here's my story on the bombing from earlier this year.

    Does anybody have a pic or pics of the mansion we could use for a Houston Press article?

    Now Magic Island catching fire during Ike might well be another story...

    The other day I read that Jerry Jeff wrote "Mr Bojangles" upstairs at Sand Mountain.

    I drove by out there a few months ago. The site is now a sort of resort catering to Hispanics -- all the signs are en espanol. The area is thickly wooded and there a few trash dumps and ramshackle houses scattered around. It had really odd hours -- it is closed on weekends or something like that.

    Maybe they should be sipping Pinot Grigio instead. It makes more sense to drink wine when walking the streets, as I know from experience that walking with beer makes the beer go flat fast.

    I'm pretty much with you on that, but as for umbrellas...I bought one about five years ago and on the day I took it to the office, my wife predicted that she would never see it again. I thought, "I'll show her." So I pretty much forgot about it, for about a year, and then one day a bad storm blew in just as I was walking out the door to the light rail. "Good thing I have that umbrella," I thought. So I went and got it and opened it up near the Exxon building. And here's the thing -- the very first time I opened, a high gust of wind just shredded it to pieces. Absolutely picked it clean. So my wife never did see that umbrella, and I never even used it once.

    Then the last time must have been a long time ago.

    I work downtown and I wish the tunnels were gone, except when I have to walk somewhere in the rain. The tunnels and huge surface parking lots are the main reasons Houston's downtown is still struggling after dark.

    There is also St. Nicholas (2508 Clay; est. 1887, oldest traditionally black parish in town) and Holy Rosary in Midtown.

    Sounds like the title of a Decemberists song?
