I grew up in Bunker Hill Village.......

Better have deep pockets for the villages, atleast now.......my parents property value has skyrocketed since they first moved and built there in the 1970's :):)

Ah school busses......we used to call them the "Big yellow cheese wagons" when i was in school

you silly goose :)

Add Moscow to your list there.

Continental tried Nigeria, but couldnt get approval for the route. Nigeria is also important for energy/oil in addition to the many Nigerians living here. Would be nice for the Space City to have a nonstop link to an important country like Nigeria. As for Mumbai, i believe we will see Air India doing that route out of Houston. I know thats in the works. Does Continental not already fly AMS-IAH?

18 777-200 models? The 787 is more fuel efficient and im not only talking about Continental. I was speaking of airlines in general. With the introduction of the 787, you will see new service by non US carriers into Houston from far away. Northwest Airlines has also purchased the 787 and they will see them before Continental. Not bloody likely :):):)

I have a feeling when the Boeing 787 comes online, you will see these destinations and more from IAH.

LOL, u silly goose :):):):)

Urinating in public doesnt provide jobs and employee people to put food on thier tables, pay taxes and support thier families. Smokers buy cigarettes, pay taxes and salaries of thousands of tobacco company workers, who in turn pay taxes, support economy and family etc etc. Come up with a better analogy than urination, its insane and im not buying it! Wheres the ACLU on this one?

Slow removal of personal freedoms........ Always start slow with things a lot of people can rally around then builds progressively from there once you have become used to giving things/freedoms away.......... Not a smoker, but hope the silly band isnt enforced.

You are correct

Anyone know what the start date is for TAAG Air Angola to start service to IAH from Angola? I just heard that it would be in 2006, but didnt hear a start date.....

IAH does have more nonstop International destination than any other airport in the country. Maybe Citykid didnt understand INTL meant international.........

Heres one for you, IAH has the most non stop INTL destinations out of any airport in the country, and thats mainly thanks to Continental

Thats all thanks to Delta. They really have the homebase world gateway thing down with thier fortress hub in ATL :):):):)

All the fighting and im out of Jack Daniels....damn it all to hell. Cant even enjoy it

Is it safe to walk around downtown at night? If not, that could be easily solved with increased police patrols on horse back-golf cart-patrol cars.

The old concrete covered towers are something more suited for eastern Europe or the former republics of the USSR. Not something i would like to see hanging around the "space city". The concrete eyesores would look wonderful in a city that doesnt wish to migrate into the 21st century. Thankfully Houston isnt so willing to hang on to that old stuff

<<<Not a fan of old structures. Take pics and put them in a museum. Modernization is the way to go. Creates jobs and hopefully the designs are nice as well. Not in favor of knocking down any buildings to put in a sea of concrete either as a parking lot :(:(

Nice pics :):)

Sorry to see it go, i celebrated my 21st B Day there at the Hard Rock Cafe :(:(:(:( That place introduced me to the "3 wisemen"
