    Mills is history. They need to turn that crappy mall in Katy back into rice fields. That place is a sorry excuse for a Mall. It is no wonder that Mills went BK

    JFK spent his last night on earth in the Rice Hotel in Houston. Does anyone know what that room is used for now that the Rice has been converted to lofts? Does someone live in it, is it a museum or a storage closet?
  3. gto250us
    Yeah it is a chicken and egg type of problem. There have been a number of loft conversions planned and executed within the downtown. How many of those have fallen through because of a lack of retail? How many potential downtown residents put it off because of a lack of retail? What do the developers think?
  4. gto250us
    What are your ideas regarding the lack of retail in the downtown area. With the growth of residential in the downtown, this may be a problem. I would like to hear what the downtown residents think of this topic. Most retail in the downtown district is in the tunnels and is only open till about 3-5 pm. Thus it is geared towards commuters in the office buildings. It seems to me that for those who now live in the many downtown lofts, you still need a car to get anything.

    Hey, don't tell me the Bush didn't make a decision to go to war with out thinking about the relative costs in terms of lives. Obviously, King George thinks that the value of the lives lost and those yet to be lost is less than the consequences of not going into Iraq. So, as long as that is the case why not send less valuable folks. It is just plain stupid to waste the lives of our young people in this foolish endeavor.

    I think we should get back to the topic of the relative value to society between the homeless bums on the street and in the library, and the US soldiers in Iraq. Why not look at it objectively. Lets see, what would the estimated lifetime earnings value be for the typical homeless person and the typical soldier. How about the social welfare costs? How about the crime costs between the two groups? Or even the library cleaning costs?

    "Not only are we going to New Hampshire ... we're going to South Carolina and Oklahoma and Arizona and North Dakota and New Mexico, and we're going to California and Texas and New York! And we're going to South Dakota and Oregon and Washington and Michigan. And then we're going to Washington, D.C. to take back the White House, Yeeeeeaaaaaargh!" -- THE SON-OF-A-delicate flower BIT ME!!!

    Seen this guy in the library? Watch out for the Dems

    FRANCE - No need to say more. Just what is being accomplished in Iraq by sacrificing our soldiers? Do you still actually believe that they threaten the US? Do you also believe in the Boogey Man? We would all be better of if we spent 70 billion dollars a month on teaching our young people, rather than giving it to Rummey. The only similarity that Bush has to FDR is that he is handicapped. Bush was born without a brain.
  11. gto250us
    good question. I don't have an answer but the Bush administration must have an answer since they have no problem with killing 2800 of our soldiers. Apparently Bush, et al thinks that they are worth less than whatever they hope to achieve in Iraq. Since I don't see much of anything in Iraq of value, the value of those who are dying must be quite low, in the eyes of those who are responsible for sending them there. In my view the bums on the street are of less value to society than those who are dying in Iraq. The bums do not contribute to society they only drain it. So send them off to war.
  12. gto250us
    OK we can refine the criteria. However, Bush has no problem sending valuable young adults over there to be slaughtered. It seems to that as long as we are willing to have our citizens murdered in Iraq we ought to sacrifice those who are more in need of killing, such as you say child molesters and congressmen.
  13. gto250us
    wait a minute - Is that the landscaper from the other thread?
  14. gto250us
    Why should we continue to kill our young adults in Iraq, when we can round up all the homeless and send them off to be murdered by the maniacs. As long s Bush is unwilling to stop the murder, we can clean up our cities and supply the Iraqi nut jobs with less costly targets.

    It goes to show you that one must be careful about buying in that neighborhood. Apparently the home owners associated does not have the wherewithal to enforce the deed restrictions or they do not have the restrictions to begin with.

    I checked up on the guy in the Gray Spook House. He is from Mexico and is into scrap metal. I guess that fits with the house.

    The house for sale on the corner of the Toll way and Memorial looks like a wreck. Several other homes along Memorial have been sold or are in the the process of being worked on and flipped.

    Nobody lives at the top of the Heritage Plaza building. The highest floor is 51 and it is vacant, along with 50. Ken Lay had an office on 49. I think is step-son has a company on that floor. One floor below, on 48 are the law offices of Learach Coughlin who are running the class action suit against Enron.

    Yeah, Weed will do that to you.

    There are at least 3-4 old hotels on the south end of downtown that need to be torn down. Not too long ago the Days Inn in question here, belonged to Mahrishi Yoyo whatever. It was supposed to be some kind of vegan, transendental crash pad.

    Look at what happened to Market Square in Downtown. But, unfortunately Houston has always been run by developers.

    I can't make out the street name in order to find the location on a modern map. There is a Cleveland Park near the Depelchin place near Waugh. I think that the Bayou has been straightened since then. I looks to me that Cleveland Park and Cleveland Lake were located where the Cloverleaf is on Memorial and Heights. I almost appears that the current street that goes south bound on Waugh to Westbound on Memorial was Eugene Avenue along the North-Northwest side of Cleveland Park.

    I am not so sure that the location of the lake is now under I-45. Looking at Yahoo Maps - Beta and evern better yet the City of Houston map with aerial photo at: http://pwegis.pwe.ci.houston.tx.us/viewer1.htm you can see a funny bend with an Island in Little White Oak Bayou, in the middle of Woodland Park. I have never been to Woodland Park and I am wondering what the large building is on the north end, on Parkview Street.

    An official who wishes to remain annonymous due to the sensitive nature of the information.

    Milby Mansion was along Milby Park. Back in the 60's one could score some good acid at the place. Good rock concerts at the park at that time. I think I remember that.
