  1. I'm just saying don't count it out. Same as Sharpstown. In the long run, I think it (Sharpstown) will come back if for nothing else than its proximity to the Galleria which is growing like gangbusters. In 20 years Houston will look very different. Just look at Kirby and Uptown Park areas. Skyscrapers?!? Who whudda thunk.
  2. They do have a new digital movie theater at the mall. Also Greenspoint has access to three major freeways, Sysco Foods just built a major distribution center there, and they have immediate proximity to the airport. Sharpstown doesn't have this.
  3. I was riding down Almeda yesterday towards downtown and noticed a skyscraper in the distance with these really cool looking vertical windmills on top. Does anyone know what building this is, and the story behind it?
  4. I looked at the clip again and it's possible that the houses are in Fifth Ward. They are on blocks and many houses out in that area are raised like that. Just a thought.
  5. Haven't been here in awhile. Miss you folks!

      Welcome back!

  6. Yeah, I think it's because people started using it for official photos (weddings, portraits, quinceneras, etc.) ... I know I shot a singing group's portrait out there, but had to do it without the tripod (security stood there and made sure I didn't use it). I guess they figure tripod = profession. No tripod means - amateur (or semi-professional).
  7. And salty. I know a lot of processed food HAS salt in it, but those noodles have salt and TASTE salty.
  8. I have relatives on T-Mobile and they wouldn't dare switch. They get pretty good reception and much lower rates than me on AT&T.
  9. As someone that lives and works in the area I have mixed feelings. I work for the college which has a branch just across the freeway (Beltway 8) and we were/are hoping for a revival of the area. It has such potential, but so do a lot of things I guess. I do think a theater might be a good option. I do kind of favor the open-air, town center concept and wonder with all those acres, would it be better to build something like that...?
  10. This is a really good idea. And don't several of the Houston chains operate in the new terminal already? I am sad to see them ditch their meal service. It was the one thing that made me fly them over other airlines (honest, I am not just saying that). Anyhow, I also thought I heard somewhere that they are going to be charging extra for additional legroom. WTH?!?
  11. I think Pearland could have supported this development, but it was started at the wrong time (economic downturn/depression). I will say that I ate at a Seafood restaurant in the Town Center there and it was HORRIBLE. I will never go again. If Pearland doesn't 'step up' I will not be back for anything else. I can't remember the name, but it is a few stores down from Barnes and Noble. Yuck!
  12. I mostly slum in the 'burbs and we have pretty good reception all over the FM 1960 area. I do have lousy service when I visit mom (south of the medical center by about 3 miles). I will ask my sister if she has noticed any improvement.
  13. I'm having to think it's the angle...? I mean, the drawings looked pretty good. What happened? Does anyone have any street-level pictures?
