Dream

Real old people should not drive. If you forget your husband your probably to old to drive. What is law or age limit to keeping your drivers liscence? My grandmother is 91 and still driving. It's ridiculious, she is going to get in a wreck before she stops driving but she never forgets Grandpa. Dream

Does the Deco Diner have any parking? They seem to have taken a small triangular piece of property and placed the restaurant on it. The location is funky and there is not much visibility. I only seem to see it in my rearview mirror. I think access to this location is going to be an issue. Houston is a tough town on new restaurants. It feels kind of risky to me. What does everyone else think? I say 25% chance they make it one year. Dream

I wish Ric Campo and Charles Le Blanc would go to the newly re-developed and urban planned Pearl District in downtown Portland and take a look around. This was a blighted and run-down area of Portland for years. Sound familiar? Today it is a model for urban planning and redevelopment. There is light rail, pocket parks, regional parks, boardwalks, huge sidewalks, farmers markets, 6 to 8 story residential with ground floor retail, and people everywhere. I saw all of this during a trip to Portland two weeks ago. I was blown away. I was only in the Pearl District for about one hour and as I walked around taking it all in, all I could think about was Midtown Houston. I hope and dream that Midtown Houston will one day be like the Pearl District or the NY neighborhood around Washington Square Park in the Village. This is my Dream for Midtown. The Super Block is ground zero, this is where the battle for Midtown is going to be won or lost. I hope they get it right! The future of Midtown and our quality of life depends on it. I liked the idea of the McGowen Green proposal but I understand why it never happened. Hopefully local Houston boy, Ric Campo, does his hometown proud and makes Houston re-development history in Midtown for the right reasons. Dream
