  1. The Menninger Clinic aka Mental Health Epicenter will be built on 50 acres already purchased just East of The Power Center at S. Post Oak and S. Main (Hwy 90). Ground breaking currently planned for Fall 2008. There is additional land set aside for future expansion for research buildings. http://www.chron.com/CDA/archives/archive....id=2007_4458082 ... www.miraclesinmind.com
  2. I live in Westbury and spend quite a bit of money at the Wal-Mart Neighboorhood Market on Hillcroft near Braeswood. I also shop a built from the ground up version near my office off Gessner/Kempwood. The Hillcroft store should be a model for future stores as it has a somewhat upscale (as far as Wal-Mart goes) in interior color choices and softer complementary lighting. You have to actually walk into the Hillcroft store and then go visit another one to understand. If they can continue to attempt to keep the parking lot and store clean I will continue to go there. Customer service-wise ... it's Wal-Mart. When I want to do a Super Wal-Mart I will make a Saturday trip down the Ft Bend Tollway from Westbury to the one in Missouri City (Hwy 6 / FM 1092) which so far seems really clean, staff friendly and I've never experienced it being a zoo. I typically get some lunch while out there in the area too since there is a lot of restaurants around there on the edge of First Colony.
  3. I'm just glad Six Flags didn't get their fantasized $180 million they thought they could get for it. What I hear over on sixflagshouston.com is that they spent 20 just clearing the land. 70 - 20 = 50 mil. Some of the newer coasters are approaching that price. Doh! I truly believe somebody visionary (with the $$$) will eventualy come along and actually build and operate a great theme park in this large and proven profitable market.
  4. Isn't it great that AT&T is now a Texas Company. Though many people have negative feelings with the bells, I have even more negative feelings with Time Warner and hope that AT&T can be a serious competitor in the local cable monopoly. I have many friends who have worked for SWB/SBC for a gazillion years and I would rather send my hard earned money to this Texas based company than Time Warner. I am so looking forward to the day that they provide cable-like programming to my home. Even if the price is similar, I would rather spend my money with them and terminate my subscription with Time Warner. I have been getting DSL from SBC for almost 5 years and I have been very happy with my service. I recall that it's only gone out twice. In fact we had both SBC and Time Warner for about a year because of my roommate and her Time Warner was always cutting out and thus she was always jumping on my computer.
