  1. I'm a little concerned about the running game and special team play, but every thing else is clicking. Holliday looked great in pre-season but sure stunk yesterday.
  2. All depends on if the rent is competitive. By the way, much of Rice Village has already been demolished over the last 20 years. For better or worse, I'll let you decide.
  3. Spent several nights camped out in front of the Coliseum, Music Hall and even Hofheinz Pavilion. Half the reason I quit going to concerts was when Pace Concerts took over ticketing and gouged everybody with all their "convenience fees".
  4. In an effort to be more politically correct they are now known as the Westbury Crackers.
  5. I'll believe it when I see it. I've heard rumors of this for about the past 50 years.
  6. True. Only underground stations played the full version of In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida.
  7. The station was probably KFMK. It was the big underground station of the 60's. You saw Cream, Spirit and the Doors at Love Street? I saw all three in 68 but at either the Coliseum (Cream, Doors) or the Music Hall (Spirit). Some groups would go over to Love Street or The Cellar to jam after their gigs but those three were pretty established performers and not the small club type.
  8. There has never been a Houston Festival that topped that one and likely never will again. I remember parking somewhere in Montrose and pulling our then 2 year old daughter for blocks and blocks in her little red wagon to Allen Parkway. We never got close to the stage but we had a great view of downtown Houston. It was being simulcast over some radio station and there were plenty of "boom boxes" around so we didn't need to get any closer to hear the music.
  9. Bet if you were to hold up a sign warning the drug dealers of the police nearby than you would get arrested.
  10. Astros to consider removing train from Minute Maid Park Hope they don't loose the train. It's the best part of Minute Maid Park.
  11. As much as I would like to see him in a Rocket uniform I just don't believe Howard will come to here. Instead I would like to see them move up a few notches before tonight's draft and roll the dice for a top 10 pick.
  12. That could be. I played it in the mid 80's and then not again until 02 - 03. Now that I think of it the clubhouse was fairly new when I played around 10 years ago.
  13. I agree. Better beer choices, better food, better overall atmosphere.
  14. I read a while back that the West Oaks Alamo was going to shut down. Wish they would open one in Sugar Land. Their burgers are okay but like asubrt said, the beer is what draws people. Bring your growler. Plus because they serve liquor you don't get the loud obnoxious teenagers that are at all the other theaters.
  15. I like them. Their menu is huge and food has always been good. I frequent the one on Montrose. At the one on Richmond your pretty much forced to valet park so I rarely go there. Food is not any pricier then say Papasitos or Lupe's. Their margaritas are outstanding. Also love the refried bean dip.
  16. Hopefully the course is making enough money to pay for it's own upkeep. I haven't played there in about 4 or 5 years. I liked the old layout better. When the clubhouse and number 1 tee was up by the zoo. They used to share the same parking lot. They redesigned it I believe in the 80's. I like old courses like Herman and Sharpstown because they are good walking courses. Newer courses are not designed for walking. Of course I only play about 5 or 6 times a year. I don't even keep score. I just enjoy relaxing and being outdoors. That's the way golf should be played. Some people take it way to serious.
  17. I believe the 90 year old Herman Park course is Houston's oldest golf course and I think an inner-city golf course is good for the community.
  18. I'm not going to hold my breath. There has been talk about a high speed train for at least 30 years.
  19. Also remember seeing Joan Jett there in the 80's. Lost the ticket though.
  20. Funny thing about "studies". They always seem to favor the group that hires them. I wonder why that is?
  21. Given the events that unfolded this past year, who knows? He may be quarterbacking us in the Superbowl next year.
