Had to edit the wording a little as I am not trying to argue, just stating some observations. First off, If you want to live downtown than you should consider it. I have lived in downtown and I now live in midtown for the past few years. Sure there are bums. but most of them reside between McGowen and Jefferson, Bagby and Dowling. There are lot of bums on Grey between Baldwin and Smith and that is an extremely attractive area thriving with affluent nightlife. It has been going strong since 2000 despite the frequent bum activity. I have also spent a lot of time around the pavilion area and I hardly ever see bums over there. I think until you have lived down here for a while its really hard to judge the area. Next. A lot of people that work downtown have families and don't necessarily make executive pay. They commute in everyday from the burbs because it is cheaper to have a roomy house with land for their family. Not to mentions all those activities their children are signed up for. Houses or large space in the Motrose/neartown/midtown/downtown area with land start in the high $400,000.00's and go up from there. Even if the areas look run down the land value is worth a lot down here so to me it does make sense why a large portion of the people that work downtown leave the area after 5pm. I am on board with you about bringing more to do downtown and I think, like midtown, the area will start to take off.

My girlfriend and I had similar experiences twice. Mexican food in midtown doesn't seem to have staying power.

The Stros are deader than Julius Caesar

Nevermind, I was actually referring to a club on the other side that they bought out and are expanding I believe. I don't actually club but I live across the street and enjoy all they craziness between 2 and 3am on the weekends.

I noticed today that they were moving furniture and bar equipment out of Escobar. Also, a not on the Vietnamese restaurant next door read that they would return when power was restored. Besides the obvious (no electricity), does anyone have more info on this?

Does anyone here know if there was a downtown heliport in Houston? And if so, where and pics?

Finally someone mentioned Millers Outpost. What about Physicle Whimsical at Sharps Town and ther was a shoe store called Mr. Lippy's??? And I want to say it was off of Beemer?

Hello, My name is Andrew ind I would like to know as well.
