  1. Sorry, not trying to be pedantic, she's just fairly well known in the neighborhood and thought it might be a draw for some people. Do you have any pics from your childhood of the neighborhood, H2B? That would be interesting...
  2. Anne Sloan, I think. The book and a companion postcard set are available at Walgreen's on 20th.
  3. Last news I heard onthe building that went in there. It's still closed last time I went by there: http://swamplot.com/available-soon-dashed-...aks/2009-02-18/
  4. I used to live on Waverly and have always thought that Swift&Company building is neat. I bet the view from the top is great. What kind of refining would they have done there? Sugar?
  5. I heard Raindrop's last night was this past Saturday.
  6. I like it too. Most importantly, it's BYOB - I don't think they even charged us a corkage fee the times we've been in there.
  7. Sweet Temptations on Airline. Opened by some brothers that worked for the Mandola's. Anyone been here yet? http://www.houseintheheights.com/
  8. I also heard from a usually reliable source that Fitzgerald's is testing the waters for a sale.
  9. How about the breakfast taco place on 20th between Heights and Studewood? Starts with a C...anyone (20th St Dad)? Not a breakfast place, but have you all heard about Sweet Temptations on Airline? I think they just opened a month or so ago - some brothers that were associated with the various Mandola's restaurants. Good food, reasonable price, and BYOB.
  10. Great. Hey, Marksmu, where do you live? I have this idea for a combo pornshop/slaughterhouse/rehab center/rendering plant and I'm scouting locations.
  11. It's not on the list: http://www.houstonheights.org/holidayhometour.htm Looking forward to seeing the Worthington house, though.
  12. Isn't this Bill Baldwin's home (the realtor selling it)? And isn't he buying Karen Derr's agency?
  13. Keep your fat kid off the track, buddy Totally kidding - your kid may be very svelte. I usually run with spiked tires on my stroller, though.
  14. Does the current makeup of the property at 10th and Columbia take away any claims to the historical character of that part of the neighborhood?
  15. Here's to the opposition going coalless early on...Houston has enough of an emissions problem already.
  16. So, just to be clear, you're switching from talking of commercial "districts" to individual streets. And you think White Oak is a district in the vein of the Museum District or the Theater District.
  17. And districts tend to be one lot deep?
  18. I don't think so. I've heard that someone has gone to some local merchants and solicited them as tenants for the building.
  19. Last night we were out walking in the neighborhood and the gates were open. One of the staff came out and we chatted. He said that they're going to have the gates open from after school until sunset and the track would be available. Of course, within five minutes some thugs were on the track with bikes and a lady was walking her dog on the field. Odds are that this will be a short-lived experiment, so use it while you can.
  20. At the same time, though, the old track at Reagan was open to the public. Last time I was there the track at Lamar was open, too.
  21. Some of them, such as Fields Elementary, are SPARK parks and stay open. Perhaps the athletic programs and inherent vandalism bred in high schools prevent that from being an option.
  22. Gates are completed and it's locked up. I guess we're not going to be able to use the track or the sidewalk.
  23. Iron fence going around the track and gates at the sidewalk this morning. We too like to use the path and I was hoping that we'd have access to the nice rubberized track (my poor, old knees) for jogging. I sure hope they're not going to lock the place up.
  24. I think we got ours at Dramatika, on 19th pretty near the Carter & Cooley. They had the print and matted and framed it.
