    Hi Jesse, everything is find here. How are you doing?

    Hi there. Many, many, years ago I lived on the near north side of Houston in what was a track of homes across the 45 frw. from Northline Mall, which was brand new at the time. Can you guess my age?

    Merry Christmas everyone!

    I know that we have talked about this before, but TLC does a great job of promoting all that is good in Houston with the two series, Big Medicine and The Little People. The cameras always show such flattering shots of the city and these shows are on every week for the world to see.

    Actually, the Dome would probably make great sound stages. Ever been to Culver City?, same sort of thing, but the Dome is prettier. Hollywood is losing it's movie industry. Even our small NM town has had some movies made here without all the great resources of a great city like Houston.

    Reminds me a little of the original Knotts Berry Farm in Southern California. It has grown to include everything imaginable. Actually, I saw this topic discussed on KVIA El Paso several weeks ago when the reporter interviewed the mayor of Tomball about it.

    Well, I have never tried that. Maybe I will do that this year. It sure would speed up getting them into the freezer!

    You are right about the price! Today, Walmart had a 20lb box of green chiles for $19.99. We normally pay approx. $14.00 for 20 lbs. You can get, mild, medium, hot or hot hot. Oh yeah, we always get the hot hot, lol. That 20 dollar price is seems too high.

    Most of the "Hatch" green chiles are grown right here in my town of Deming. We have the largest Chile processing plant in all of NM. "Hatch" has become a label, is put on the cans right here in town. That said, Hatch does celebrate annually with it's chile festival (not chili). All the markets here in town have large chile roasters in their parking lots, including Walmart. We never freeze them until we have taken the skin off. Roast, skin, freeze! Good stuff and they do freeze beautifully.

    Thank you very much. I really enjoy looking at all the faces of Houston.

    This is so cool!

    Have you ever considered moving to Atlanta? Those of you who find fault with anything and everything Houston should do all of us a favor and go somewhere else.

    Our local newspaper is running an Ad for small business owners to celebrate the # of years they have been in business, I am pretty sure this has something to do with the SBA. Anyway, the background for the Ad is the old Enron Towers. Very cool pic but I don't see what this has to do with small business. I expect this Ad to appear around the country with no credit to Houston.

    Please don't shout, we hear you.

    Years ago several of the Kroger stores in Houston changed to Henke-Pelot, but I can't find that information any place.

    Are we voting?? I go for the green - something different and Houston can use something that has a real flair to it.

    LAX is the "big" airport, with Burbank, Ontario and John Wayne being the smaller airports. Lots of traffic at all of these.

    FWIW, I remember a time in Houston when the city considered building all municipal buildings with NO WINDOWS, because of the cost of keeping cool in the summer. They were to have fake windows on the outside.

    Times Square NY, NY..hmmm - how many of you have been to Tokyo?? Do you realize that the entire Times Square Area is just a fraction of the size of the entertainment district in Tokyo? I'm wondering if the people in NYC visit Tokyo and then come home and complain about the small area of Times Square? There is always someplace bigger and better.

    I can't even imagine "cars" shooting at anything, lol.

    I have eaten at the Spaghetti Warehouse in Newport Beach, CA, St. Louis, MO., and Ontario, CA - All were excellent with yummy food. Seems odd that Houston would have something so "ghastly"?

    Great picture Jax, thanks.

    Interesting show on the discovery health channel. It is set in Houston at the Methodist Hospital and follows doctors and patients in their quest for bariatric surgery. Always nice shots of Houston. http://tlc.discovery.com/tv/big-medicine/about.html

    You have absolutely nailed it! I think it is a good thing that Houston has the land and space for people to live their lives the way they choose. Choice is one thing missing from NYC, try finding a single-family residence with a big yard in a decent area there. Houston has a pretty DT and high rise living is available to those who want it, but really families want more than just a place to live, they want a child-friendly, pet-friendly community. DT living is basically for singles and childless couples.

    Yes, it is a classic design and "classy" too. Everyone will want to live there.
