  1. I cannot honestly say I am excited about this. Houston has too many edge cities to possibly compete with the center city, specifically downtown. I am not even that excited when I hear of urban projects coming to the Galleria area.

    has anyone looked at houston from say out on the northern edge of the beltway? if you look towards the galleria area you would be hard pressed to distinguish it from a modern downtown area. it has skyscrapers and all.

  2. I've heard the same soft "smoke detector" chirping sounds . . . first thought it was some type of crickets. Only hear it outdoors at night. . . several times I'd search around in the bushes, grass, and sidewalk crevices with a flashlight . . .neighbors probably thought I was psycho. Finally found the source . . . a tiny frog about 1/2 inch long, dark in color. When the light hit it, it just froze and didn't make a sound . . . I did the same, and a few seconds later it chirped! Mystery solved . . . now I can sleep.

    so they're in the trees too? i've heard them up high. seems kinda like they do a call and response too?

  3. yes, that is the sound alright ... and that is the pattern of the calls and response. sometimes it even seems to be coming from the air ... in several different directions.

    let me know when you find out ... i still find the frogs theory to be kinda weak, but several people here swear it's frogs.

    let me know what you find out.
