    Man that brings back memories. Thanks for posting.

    It is amazing to see them tied for the best record in their division without having all their starters playing since the first couple of games. When I look at the game stats the next day I don't recognize half the names. Of course because I have Dish I still don't get to see them on TV. I may have to convert to Direct TV or something. (Anything but Comcast)

    It would be nice if they just eliminated all the streets but Rice blvd and University. Rice does have a shuttle to their graduate apartments (one block south of University and Morningside) although the Village is easy to walk to from the campus. I don't think the Village has ever been a big University hot-spot though.

    Wish I had a list of establishments the Dhanani brothers owned so I could be sure to avoid them.

    Always loved their show. He will be missed.

    I kind of thought outlet malls were on their way out.

    Flashback! I had forgotten the upstairs billiard hall Le Que. Used to go to the Catacombs (later called Of Our Own) and then go to Le Que for some late night/early morning pool. Who knows. We may have shot a game together. My Mom worked at Rodney's in the early 60's. It was an upscale store. I remember seeing the Exorcist when it first came out at the Village theater. Scared the crap out of me.

    Ramshackle bunch of businesses probably best applies to the old Village. There certainly wasn't a lot of upscale shops. I don't believe it ever catered to the University crowd as much as the area's residents. It had grocery stores, good restaurants and a nice theater. The Village struggled in the 60's and 70's when indoor malls were the big thing. The cracker jack multi-screen movie houses of the 80's killed the old Village theater.

    Just smoldering insulation. No big deal.

    Altuve may be most exciting Astro ever. Now if only they could get rid of Luhnow and get a real GM.

    I think Suburu is the new Volvo. They are building nice rides that are reliable and safe vehicles.

    Can't compare to the Aggies or Longhorns but I'm happy for them. It looks good. Now if only Rice could do something with their aging stadium. Of course their student body cares less about football then anyone so i don't expect to see anything as nice as the U of H stadium.

    Thanks for that link. I'm not holding out much hope I will ever see them with my Dish network.

    Hope they keep Parsons but not sure they will.

    American Motors cars just weren't built to last which was their demise. It's a shame though because they had some really innovative designs. Of course in the 70's and 80's it seemed no American made car was built to last beyond 100,000 miles.

    Since we are talking about POS cars, the very first NEW car I bought (owned several older cars previously) was a 72 Gremlin X with a V8. I wanted the V8 so bad I could not afford AC or auto transmission. It still cost me almost $2000. Although it was a POS that baby sure would move. With the V8 and no weight on the back I could burn rubber all day. Sometimes I wish I had sprung for AC like when wife and I took it to Arizona and Nevada and it was like 120 degrees. I like to think of it as the first "crossover" vehicle.

    Enough procrastinating. Something needs to be done and I agree with Metro West, this is better then a parking lot.

    BAPS Shri Swaminarayan Mandir http://houston.baps.org/ It's really an enchanting place to see.
  19. Fringe
    Wish I could have seen that game. But no Comcast. Now that they are fun to watch again they are really missing an opportunity to build back a fan base.

    They won't be doing nothing until they figure out what to do with the parking situation this building will compromise. The new Continuing Education building and Tennis courts have already depleted insufficient area parking.

    I was in the Village for lunch and saw ashes coming down from this fire. HFD did a good job of keeping the fire from spreading to other structures.
  22. Fringe
    Quite a burner. Spread really fast. They must not have had any sheetrock up yet.
  23. Fringe
    Enron?
  24. Fringe
    They are a fun and exciting team to watch To bad I have satellite and only see a small number of their games.
  25. Fringe
    I'd love to get some mementos of the place like a wall lamp or something. Lot's of memories of the place.
