  1. We had Ritz-Carlton and couldn't sustain it. I think there's no way in Hades that they would EVER "give" us another one.
  2. Hubby and I are attending an event in the Heights. Would love some recommendations on a good restaurant to go to afterwards. Thanks in advance.
  3. I haven't been around since Ike, I think, but anyway, I am glad that I re-visited this thread. I looked at the Google street level map and saw a lot of the old homes that I remembered and visited in on Laurel Drive. I found this site http://www.trulia.com/property-sitemap/TX/Houston/77021/Laurel_Drive/ to be extremely helpful to me. The last time I was on Laurel Drive, I thought that three of the most beautiful houses that I had ever seen were gone. They weren't. I might have been on the wrong block of Laurel. I saw them on the Google Map, then that website above told me the years they were built. There was only one built in the 1970's, the rest (what remain, they are not all there, unfortunately) are the original houses. With the exception of one, they sure looked bigger when I was a little girl!!!!!
  4. Demo it and pave a parking lot. It's the Houston tradition I'm serious. Me too!
  5. My kids LOVED that thing. They literally cried when it was taken out.
  6. 5-7-9 Casual Corner I cannot remember the name of the store downtown that carried junior clothing Foley's Sakowitz Joske's Gap JC Penney's Margo's LaMode in Almeda Mall
  7. Wow. It sounds from the description that he was affluent (Kincaid shorts, the clothes he was wearing, bike, etc.) Wonder why Mommy and Daddy aren't looking for him? This is so sad. I have a 15 year old and a 16 year old, so this hits close to home.
  8. We have one in Clear Lake. They have a very limited menu. The regular burger has two patties. You can add anything you want to it (grilled onions, mushrooms, etc.) for no charge. Their fries are better than sex! My sons and my hubby love the burgers. I go there for the fries!
  9. Well, I worked downtown several different times. A couple of times in the 80's, when the tunnels weren't much, then for 4 years - 2000-04, and I loved the tunnels. If they get to you, you can go outside and walk in the traffic and construction and inhale the exhaust, grease and bums. One time I saw this poor homeless woman sitting next to what used to be Foley's. Someone had poured spaghetti and meat sauce all over her, and she was trying to eat it! It was terrible. Downtown is depressing. The tunnels aren't depressing, and the streets of Downtown ARE. It's that simple. I vote tunnels. Keep 'em coming. Allison was sad, though. Lost my good parking garage, and lots of my favorite businesses in the tunnels.
  10. The Late Show First the news and weather then the late show The greatest movies ever made And you see them free, right on your own TV You never need a ticket for the late show Relax and just sit back and watch the late show The greatest movies ever made No need to far You don't need to use the car Or something close to that
  11. They had a very nice restaurant there. That's where I had my first Chef's Salad, when we thought anything called a salad had to be good for you. They remodeled the lobby and dining room to that beautiful two story building that was apparently torn down. Nice memories. We would go there every Sunday after church.
  12. Yes, it is real. I was married to a sex addict for 15 years. Problem was, the sex was not with ME. It is a real disease with a real diagnosis and hurts real people. Really.
  13. There was a location on Park Place Blvd., as well as a very large one in Gulfgate. I wonder why they aren't mentioned?
