  1. The Journal broke out of its Old Grey Lady stereotype back in the 90's. It hasn't been the paper most people think it is in more than a decade. Sure, there's still a lot of density, but there's a lot of good, readable, interesting content as well. When America gets down to seven or eight newspapers, I hope that the WSJ is one of them.

  3. I was raised in Westbury - and my mom used to take me to Meyerland plaze for my back to school shopping. Our Route took us down W. Bellfort and until we got to on Runnymead and then we would turn left away from Cunninghams' RX and Beldons. We would drive down Runnymeade and turn on to S. Rice heading North to JC Pennys. There was an unusual house on the corner of S. Rice and Runnymeade. It was box shaped with a flat roof, adn it had what I deemed "a small sculputure garden" on the S. Rice side. The house also had unsual glass brick with cutout shapes in them. Does anyone have any information regarding this home?

  4. Oops - I replied to the status thing you posted, so I'll paste it here: That's 9703 Runnymeade, and I believe the original owner (maybe second) lives there. I'd knock on the door! To clarify, the current owner (or son of, perhaps) that owns it purchased it in 1963, though HCAD lists the home being built in 1959 (which could be suspect, knowing HCAD isn't right a lot of the time).

  6. Anyone else smell a phony? If I'm wrong, I apologize. But, the good spelling coupled with broken grammar in your posts seems to conjure an image of Crank Yankers. Again, forgive me, if this is not a fake. There's just something about the way you state things that sounds like a person trying to affect a Japanese accent in typed words.

  7. I hear Metro is going to open up a souvenir shop at HP. That will be nice...(can't wait to get my very own Metro bus key chain that dispenses Mace)

  8. I do hope they will sell a Metro Bus Stop Action Playset. Complete with a homeless bum, litter, and stain/urine/vomit appliques. Metro police, ambulance, and innocent bystanders sold separately.

  10. Yea, that's it. That will revitalize Sharpstown. Remodel the Food Court in the Mall. I say: Tear the MF down. Now. In fact, I'd tear it down with 50 wrecking balls by surprise one day taking out everyone in it... just give all the shop owners a 15 minute notice to bolt out of there. Odds are that would prevent dozens, if not hundreds, of murders, rapes and robberies over the next 20 years as those foke in there won't be around to commit those crimes.

  11. Given that the developers like to keep mum about such things, the chance that the towers are being axed for good would not surprise me in the least. Ugh.

  12. Fact is, most humans would scoff at the idea of labeling mayors of Houston as persons of honor. In fact I would wager that most would avoid calling them persons at all.

  13. Trying to stereotype Midtown residents as a bunch of frat boys is pretty lame and has no basis in reality.
