2112 Posted December 1, 2004 Share Posted December 1, 2004 Next: YAKS.I think Tillman has finally lost it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
new major on the block Posted December 1, 2004 Share Posted December 1, 2004 Hey alot of people buy in to that sort of stuff so it couldn't be that bad. It just might bring more citizens in to downtown and shop, eat, and help business. I think though that even Tilman has his limits of what he might bring in. Gazzels maybe, but yaks?

pineda Posted December 1, 2004 Share Posted December 1, 2004 Tilman is the P.T. Barnum of the restaurant business. Why, just this year he was honored as Man of the Year by the Greater Houston Restaurant Association! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jmancuso Posted December 2, 2004 Share Posted December 2, 2004 the only issue i have them being there is space, they're gonna be cooped up in a relatively small area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Great Hizzy! Posted December 2, 2004 Share Posted December 2, 2004 I agree with Mancuso. If there's room enough for the tigers to "breathe," so to speak, then I'm fine with everything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest danax Posted December 4, 2004 Share Posted December 4, 2004 White tigers I can go along with. It’s the gaudy, ostentatious blue lights that make me wanna puke! I can’t believe the City allows them!<{POST_SNAPBACK}>I've thought the same thing. It just doesn't look appropriate for Downtown. And how about the ferriswheel?
