  1. on where the Old Town and Country mall was located. I guess this is going to be similar to what Sugarland has kind of with condos, retail shops, and restaurants within a few feet of each other. Click on the video. Interesting report by Sher-min Chow. http://www.khou.com/topstories/stories/kho...t.3853a54d.html I've been hearing that the new park downtown is going to be built similarly like this. Retail shops down on the 1st level and residences on the upper floors of buildings surrounding the park. A water fountain, some restaurants, etc. added also.
  2. Last week there was another driveway robbery in Sugarland.
  3. I was driving on Westheimer towards Highland Village and noticed this furniture place called BoConcepts. It looked pretty nice as i passed by. Anyone been inside? How about prices? Thanks.
  4. Yeah, i go there all the time. Can't wait until Texas Roadhouse opens. The Target there is smaller than the one in Sugarland though. Also, they really don't have a deli. The BW3 place is pretty nice though. I'm hoping they would build a 24hr Fitness Center there. It would be closer for me.
  5. The Texans do not have much leverage when trading for Carr. Think about it, they got Schaub before they traded Carr. Now, other teams know the Texans are trying to unload Carr quickly. The longer the Texans wait, the more favorable it will be for other teams to leverage against the Texans. The Texans will be really lucky if they can get a 2nd round pick for him. They might end releasing him or trading him for virtually nothing.
  6. My take is that a predominately Caucasian high school will have a better educational plan and curriculum. It is just the way it is. Memorial was that way back in the 80s. Not sure what the makeup is now. If i had kids, i would prefer that they attend a school with different races and cultures.
  7. yeah, but some alot more than others.
  8. On baseball(Astros) or basketball(Rockets)nights, pretty crowded, but pretty much slow. It was much better in 6-7 yrs ago than it is now. At least on the weekdays.
  9. God, i hope they let Ron Dayne and Sam Ngakta go. These guys were worthless! Also, unless the Texans get a decent deal for David Carr, he will be back unfortunately.
  10. Not quite. This is what it will similarly look like in 5yrs if they don't change their approach to downtown. BTW, he is going to happy hour alone.
  11. You made a good point. I think Mayor White or whoever is charge of downtown plans needs to get together with business property owners there to see what can be done to make it better. He needs to talk to the private parking lot owners to find a way to get rid of the parking fees period. Maybe some kinda contract or incentive. Also, the city should get rid of parking meters period!
  12. Maybe the mindset of Houston needs to change and someone,somebody,something needs to initiate change. Houston is too much status quo, conservative. Pretty sad.
  13. Downtown Houston needs to follow the same plan as the Gas Lamp district in San Diego. I really enjoyed it! I am not sure if i went all over it, but after walking for quite some time around there, i didn't see many nite clubs. Maybe that is why it is so successful. Many nice restaurants. Just a very festive time. Seriously, Houston needs to follow the Gas Lamp district model.
  14. Actually, the galleria going 24hrs is a good idea. I don't think you can go wrong on that.
