    What was Dream Merchant?

    Vargo's is still open on Fondren. I haven't heard anything good about it in quite a while though.

    That is hilarious. I told the realtor I wanted more shots showing the floor because he had like 3 of the kitchen... now there are zero. Emailing....

    I redid the floors, all new SS kitchen appliances, some hardware (door knobs, mirrors, some lighting etc), tore out a bad closet and rebuilt it, had the outside planters redone, and all new paint. I reseated the toilets since removing the tile in the bathrooms. The cabinetry is original as well as faucets and shower. The people in 4004 are great. I too was torn between new construction and a place with charm like this and obviously came to like the neighborhood and character over the first time owner feel.

    Your pulling my leg right? You know I'm biased since you are most likely talking about my condo. Hehe, my wife will get a kick out of this.

    If I did it would be purely for the novelty. If it is too theme parkish I am probably going to hate it.

    Update: I believe the Cliffwood house has come down another 10k for those interested. If it had one more bedroom, I'd be a bit more interested.

    I personally dont think I know anyone that would voluntarily move to Vegas. I think it was a poor choice to make the point. Anyway, I am all for improving Houston's image abroad but I'm still not in it for trying to bring in the crowds. I'd just like to talk to my relatives in New York and California and not have to defend my home city everytime. Trying to get family out here for my wedding was murder. (Didnt help that it was in May.)

    Exactly. I swear they'de lean forward and smack ya in the head if you took too long to order. They used to give my buddy hell all the time for showing up each day right about munchie time. Ah, fond memories.

    Funny, I just had to cancel my reservation at the InterContinental in Dubai. Was looking forward to that.

    I personally never cared for Star. Probably been about a dozen times over the past 7 years and it never impressed me. Antonio's is pretty good for the traditional thin crust. I'd rate it second after Romano's.... but I still havent tried alot of these other places you guys are mentioning. The pizza served by the slice at Costco's isn't too bad either.
  13. Lowbrow
    Romano's at West Grey and Dunlavy.

    I can't wait to see the collection.
  15. Lowbrow
    It used to be for sale. IT reminds me of a synagogue in California near my childhood home. If I recall correctly it was 1.6 mil.

    My favorite Thai food in Houston is Thai Choice at Westheimer and Wilcrest, just outside the Beltway, SW corner. It's in a strip mall behind what used to be a Houston's (I forget the new name). Try the Panang (Chicken, Tofu, or whatever). Their soups are wonderful. The Sweet Basil dish will also keep you coming back. Many of us oil patch people out on the west side are very loyal to this place.

    Thats funny. The Ventana is one of my lease favorite structures in Houston. But I think that is because of the color. Strip that away and I think it may be alright.

    I personally don't care for the building but I don't hate it either. Here is an old news story on it with some video that shows the demolishen of the Jefferson Davis. KHOU LINK

    I can just about smell the cannabis in that picture.

    Willo- Good to meet you at the open house. Me and the wife went and looked at your place afterwards and absolutely love what youve done with it. Props to you. I like the Cliffwood house but even with the new reduced asking price it seems a little stiff.

    Well, life throws ya twisties. I ended up buying the place, fixing it up a bunch and then never moving in. I bought it in April, had floors torn up and the concrete stained, moved all my stuff in, went and got married, moved all my stuff out and into her bigger condo in uptown. And I never slept one wink in Montrose. So I put it on the market to sell or lease. Whichever works out. I'm in a lose/lose money situation either way. MY HAR

    If they worked more on mobility in the uptown area I'd like it about 50x better. They should put an underground tram between the galleria and this beast. Hell, I'd use it just to cross westheimer.

    Another open house scheduled for July 10 2-4.
  24. Lowbrow
    There fixed it for ya.
