  1. I always liked the idea of the Zoo taking over the golf course. Maybe leave the edges as a part of Herman Park. I'm not a golfer so I really don't care for the course much.
  2. Freezin my butt off in old WWII barracks,,,debating if it's worth going down the open bay to pee...where's a wide mouth Gatorade bottle when you need one?

  3. I was looking to buy something for my niece so I figured that the Disney store in the Galleria would have it. When I got there I looked around, but couldn't find anything good so I asked "You don't have much, is there a bigger store here?", the people who worked there seemed a little embarrassed, kind of like they had heard it before. "yeah we know"
  4. Kickass looking bridge. Would really like to see more projects like this. Passed by the other day and saw some work being done, thought maybe that the bayou was being widened. Thanks for the posts
  5. That was great. I remember growing up my mom telling me she watched the Lunar landing at the Foley's Downtown back in '69. I believe she was already here in the States by '66. I'm going to show this to her, thanks for posting it.
  6. Having a flashback of Magic theater at Northline Mall back in '97. Hope nobody gets killed this time and that the theater doesn't die a slow painful death like Magic did.
  7. Yeah, Shawarmas are awesome, IF you can find a good place. The best I ever had was in Kuwait City back in ’02. Tried Shawarma King on Hillcroft and couple other places, I have given up trying to find a place here. I’ve been to Phoenicia Foods on Westhiemer (haven’t tried their shawarmas) I liked it. Great variety of foods, I can see them being really successful there. I’m excited
  8. At a crossroads, debating on volunteering to go on a deployment again. It's been five years since I got back, I have an itch.

  9. Thanks for the link. It indeed does look promising. I hope it does well, I for one will check it out.
  10. The Ballys at Sawdust "the Woodlands one" is closing down aswell. The employees got word on Monday. They have already shorten their hours. I joined Bally's back in 99 and stuck with them mainly because I was getting a pretty good deal and there was usually one nearby. The one at Sawdust is really outdated. Rust on their machines, free weights weren't labled so you had to calculate or guess how much you were lifting. So I'm not surprised.
  11. Mr Lindsey was the 3rd and 4th grade science teacher. He was very goofy(always had sound effects for everything), he would put on clown make up and dress up for events and parties. Mr Van Clarke was the principal at the time
  12. I'm not sure when it became a magnet school. It was one of the first. The magnet program was for 3rd-5th grades. The sibs and I were all bussed in from 1st Ward(what is now "Harker Heights")we would have to wake up at 5 or 6 in the morning. Besides the modules at I think 7 in the morning it was just like any other school. The first two days of my 3rd grade year I didn't even know I was in the magnet program. They asked me when I got off the bus if I was, I told them no ,so they stuck me in the cafeteria until everyone else started school. My eldest brother is eight years older than me and he went, just don't know if he started in his 4th or 5th grade, I'll ask. I loved the camping trip to either camp Olympia or Camp Colon. My class only went to camp Olympia our 4th and 5th grades. I remember we had a week at the zoo from the time we got to the school we would get on another bus then be at the zoo until it was time to go home. I remembered I answered the question that won my team the question/answer game and bragging rights of course. Remember Ms Bryan or Mr Lindsey, Ms Thomas, Ms Barnett?
  13. My two older brothers, sis and I all attended the magnet program there. I was there from '86-'89. I enjoyed my time there, kick ass teachers. I loved the modules we had every morning, learned so much. I don't remember the Halloween carnivals too much, the talent shows were always entertaining. Now that the wife and kids are moving to the US from the UK, I'm debating about sending my sons there. There are "better ranked" schools around I know, I guess I will see. They're only two and four so we have time.
  14. I stopped by the park yesterday and they were either doing regular maintenance (draining and cleaning) the part of the lake closest to the building right behind the stage or they were prepping it for the rink. Seems a little early to be prepping it, but then again I don't know how long it would take. I cant wait to take the wife and kids to this
  15. Yep Asked the wife about that. She said just about every town has an "High Street" It's kind of like our Main street. Usually trendy shopping on High Street
