  1. I used to sneak around the property when I was a kid in the 60's. It wasn't far from where I lived. I stayed away from the house because it was said to be haunted. ( What abandoned property wasn't haunted when you were young?) I just liked the area because it was so woodsy, unlike anything else in the area.
  2. Other than an immigration center I can't understand anyone wanting to build there.
  3. Supercar coming to the US Pagani Huayra I got 2 on order.
  4. Isn't that the building that formally housed Scott Gertners Skybar?
  5. I understand the Tidelands Motor Inn had a club and a lot of big time performers played there in it's early days. An interesting tidbit: The Smothers Brothers debut album "The Smothers Brothers At The Purple Onion" was actually from a recorded show at the Tidelands because their Purple Onion recording had to many sound problems. I never went to the Tidelands when it was a hotel but went there a lot while Rice used it as a it's graduate apartments. And I monitored it's tear down about 5 years or so ago (lots of asbestos). It was in pretty bad shape by then. ">
  6. Seems this type of club would do better in Pasadena, not downtown Houston.
  7. Could also look into the Rice University Memorial Chapel.
  8. Just in case, I'm ordering the Rosetta Stone German lessons.
  9. To me the d-bag is the one drinking lite beer and prefers quantity over quality, but that's just my opinion.
  10. [ Casa Dominguez? It used to be in that area before relocating to Bellaire about 20 years ago.
  11. LOL. Those are great. I'm guessing from the 90's? Definitely before New Wiess was built.
  12. It's nothing great. Rice distributes most of it's heating,cooling and electricity from 2 main central plants through these utility tunnels. You can't actually walk from one end of the campus to the other. Pretty much every building has a locked gate to prevent entry plus it's a very tight squeeze in some areas. There are also manhole covers but again you wouldn't get far before you came to a locked gate. Thresher article
  13. My bad. It was a Henke and Pilot. I was confusing it with the Weingartens at Stella Link and Braeswood that I also frequently shopped.
  14. Weingarten's were everywhere in the 60's I believe the grocery store at Meyerland Mall started out as a Weingarten's.
  15. Hey, don't be dissing analog clocks! I have one in my vehicle.
  16. Wow. That really was a poor English accent. Guess when I was 15 it sounded realistic to me.
  17. Ahh yes. I forgot the original H&H was not S&P. Did not know Bond and Bennett were the same guy. Very interesting.
