Not freeways, but I get a big kick out of calling 1960, Jackrabbit Road; and calling Westheimer, 1093. -
I refer to freeways by their numbers, except the West Loop, which ends where it meets the North Loop; and the Gulf Freeway, which goes by that name all the way to Cuba.

Nothing important got flooded. They evacuated their equipment onto street level and tied it to the fence.

We'll see what happens in a few months. Hopefully nothing goes wrong.

We lost a lot of trees.

Didn't notice much damage on the north side. I was too lazy to walk around to the south side. -

The site flooded.

At the Rice Hotel. Doozo is good, but driving here just for them... you must love food.

The converse happens too. This one lady was wondering when she was going to be in the city, when she was already in the city. She said most of Houston looks like "countryside."

:lol: They're right about the line. The Chipotle downstairs here takes twice as long, and their line looks shorter than the Doozo line.

I think he's saying West Ave is a drop in the bucket within River Oaks' plentiful retail, whereas HP makes more of a splash. Rice residents are pretty excited about HP opening too, at least some of my neighbors are. It's not just OPP.

Highland Village will have High Street and Oaks District for competition as well. They have more to worry about than West Ave.

That sounds vaguely Polish when pronounced correctly. Maybe for a reason similar to mine, for moving back down from Chicago: I get a posh 1-1 in the Rice for the same price as my roach-infested dump in downtown Chicago. Besides, Houston's got the best Chinese food between the two coasts, and the chode of a rail line isn't bad when you live next to a station. -

Good luck. Let me know when you need a ride. Does anybody know how many parking spaces HP will have? The unique problem with retail downtown is that parking is a huge hassle for visitors. Nobody wants to pay for parking.
