  1. I know with New Territory, the annexation by Sugar Land will not take place until the MUD debt is retired (2017). I imagine that Aliana and other potential annexation areas would have the same scenario.
  2. TOUCHE! We just bought a house in New Territory. The prison bothers me not one iota. It is far from the worst thing that could be on "the other side of the tracks."
  3. The Astrodome was still cool and hadn't been turned into a soulless concrete donut by Bud Adams' demands (that we're still paying for).
  4. I was purely tongue-in-cheek on the Sugar Land thing, VicMan
  5. Whenever the evil Republican suburbanite Limbaugh-listening FoxNews-watching mobs complain about crime in low-income apartment complexes out in the burbs, the right-thinking progressive inner-loopers ask them, "Where are you going to put them? Where are the poor people supposed to live?" It's one of the most popular petards to lob on HAIF. So if we demolish thousands of units in Gulfton, where are those people supposed to go. I suppose the right-thinking progressive answer is "Sugar Land."
  6. Technically, he wasn't traded. John F***ing McMullen didn't want to re-sign him. I hated him almost as much as Bud Adams. Almost.
  7. What a joke. The traffic studies that were done are fine. It is merely an excuse. Just say, "Some of our big contributors really don't want this in their backyards" and I would have more respect for that.
  8. This thread title keeps making me think of terrorist or other conspiratorial activity. Gotta' stop reading Clancy.
  9. Heck, I remember when the Timberstone Apartments was a BMX track.
  10. I haven't followed it terribly closely, but from where I sit, the whole kerfluffle appears to be the result of a personality conflict between her and the chancellor of the TAMU system.
  11. One of the things I was most proud of during the Rockets championship days was the fact that Houston was one of the few cities at the time that managed to celebrate its championships peacefully: http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/playoffs/200...tory?id=4259076
  12. I've always said that if you go to an Astros game hungry, you're going to leave broke.
  13. If cottonmather is as ugly as he says, I doubt the server is flirting with arrest.
  14. I've used that method before but noticed the ushers getting pretty Nazi about it the last year or two.
  15. What, no Westfield? Dang, I guess I'll never amount to anything!
  16. Every street name sign would need to be changed. Major public expense. Every business would need to change its advertising, stationery, etc and update all of its business partners, customers, suppliers, etc. on the new address. Major private expense It's not as easy as it sounds.
  17. Of course, I usually refer to US 290 as "that @#%$@%&^$#@" but not for long.
  18. Colloquially, I think people stop using the "------- Freeway" name when it stops feeling like a freeway and more like a rural highway.
  19. This won't necessarily improve the Clips one iota. It won't be the first time they've had a No. 1 pick. Anyone know what Michael Olowokandi is doing these days
  20. I think the problem with the Clippers is much less location than it is management (specifically, ownership).
