Disastro

I remember the Alfies on Shepherd...

I miss Hamburgers By Gourmet. Those were scrum-dilly-umptious! Especially the one with the chili on it.

Yeah...it was funny to me. That's all that matters, fool. I don't give a rat's behind what they think! If they don't like it, they can put on their red and white Coogah "big girl panties" and get over it.

How about: Bayou Shores University (BSU) Allen Place University The Allen Institute Or since the train runs alongside it... Metro Station University University on Rails Any takers? I didn't think so...lol!!!

Tru dat!

Ahhhh, Gunspoint... I remember it back in it's 70's/80's heyday. Used to hang out there quite often! It was safer back then. Dis

UHDT needs a new name about as much as Houston needs a new sports stadium -- which is to say not at freakin' ALL!

No more stadiums! Refurbish the Astrodome and make that work. Let's recycle.

If I remember correctly, there used to be a Panchos on Bellaire Blvd...that's the first one I remember...

Oh yeah, I've noticed that...ugly...

I just don't like that style of architecture...not sure what you guys call it -- but all these crap buildings with the curved rooftops with pastel colors and chrome is just going to scream "late 1990's, early 2000's" in a few years. I see it in schools, skyscrapers...lofts...you name it. Well, I'll name it: UGLY. There's nothing timeless or aesthetically appealing about this style. It's butt-ugly. And I don't know what possesses these architects to copy each other and reuse this style over and over in this city. It's gross!

I think they should paint the sides and back to look like white puffy clouds with a blue sky on a sunny day. Wouldn't that be a hoot? Oh wait...that might make a flight hazzard, huh?

I'd have to say Burger Chef...The Cellar Door...Shakey's Pizza...Monterrey House...Del Taco...Farrell's Ice Cream Parlor...to name a few.

Unfortunately, Applebees is still around to fill the void Bennigan's has left behind. Mediocre food and service and lots of it! Oh...and if you like roaches -- might I recommend the ever-wretched "Golden Corral"? Too bad Marvin Zindler was in his declining years when this chain became big because they could keep him busy 24-7. Lame...and nast-eeeee... Every GC I ever went to -- the bathroom looked like the toilet exploded and puked up toilet paper! Disgusting. I'll never step foot in a Golden Corral for the remainder of my existence on this Earth, I'll tell you that!

That's all well and good, but the paper isn't presenting itself as political commentary overall -- it's supposed to be a "NEWSpaper" (emphasis on the word "news"). Editorial and commentary is not news -- although they have a page dedicated to that and not just one POV there. News should be presented as fact without a bias. It should be factual. The way the Chronicle words it's articles many times, it's clearly NOT objective and in-depth reporting. What they present are often cookie-cutter syndicated articles or, again...articles based on some facts but skewed to fit their political agenda. But, ya know...I wouldn't care about their bias if there was an alternative paper out there with an OPPOSING bias. There isn't. At least not one that is printed locally. People complain about Fox News and an apt comparison would be if you didn't like Fox News but that's the only news network you could get -- I doubt anyone would be protecting the right to be biased under those conditions. But with regard to network news, you have the option of CNN, ABC, NBC, and CBS. However, in Houston, there is no mainstream alternative paper that espouses an oposing ideological bias. Ah well...as I said, I get my news online now.
