  1. LOL, who's down with OPP? Sorry, been out-of-pocket for a while.
  2. I love this forum. I think the design is interesting enough to be noteworthy, and the name is unusual enough to be memorable. As long as people drive by and say, "hay, did you see that little bridge? that's pretty cool" I am satisfied. I'll have to concede that the name is a little awkward, but let's be honest, its only a pedestrian bridge---no one will refer to it by name.
  3. The Lucky Strike in Hollywood and Las Vegas are re'donk. I can't imagine the Houston branch not following the design of other locations.
  4. The weekend lunch crowd is irrelevant? I beg to differ---the weekday lunch crowd will be a vast majority of the patrons.
  5. I seem to remember this thread discussing that Chuy's lease was set to expire and the owner was not renewing---presumably in favor of the West Ave developers.
  6. My two cents: I took it upon myself to edit your post for brevity. Also, is your quote a joke: "Vote for John McCain. You don't have to like him, respect him, or really have any expectation that he's going to be a good president (I certainly don't). The important thing is that he isn't a classist scumbag. He is not Barack Obama. And that is sufficient." Maybe TheNiche isn't omniscient after all. Cue the flame war.
  7. I couldn't find a related topic, but here is the article. http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/metrop...an/5991712.html
  8. A deal cannot be "done" if it is only "ready for a signature."
  9. The Houston Astrodome Hotel & Casino: The Eighth Wonder of the World!
  10. I didn't know there was a Nutcracker at Reliant. I've only seen the one at the Wortham Center, and its been years a while.
  11. Drove by this long-vacant lot the other day, and I noticed that there was construction on the northeast corner of Taft and West Grey. There must be a topic for this lot, but I couldn't find it. I hope they don
  12. Not to mention they had to remove Hotel Montague.
  13. Actually, states and their subsidiaries are
  14. OMG, just put the damn TV screens up already! What difference does it make? I can't believe we've been arguing over whether TV screens will change the world for three pages. Let me say: they are not going to solve any problems. I don't see myself standing on the sidewalk in the middle of the afternoon to watch CNN, but it is kinda cool to have "sizzle" around what is supposed to be a pedestrian mall. For the record: I'm smart and I like sizzle.
  15. My office overlooks the site, and construction workers are out there every day. In that regard, I don't know how anyone could say the project is "stalled."
  16. LOL, I was scrolling down and that picture took me by surprise and I chocked on my coffee.
  17. Huh, that's an interesting idea. At first, I was thinking a huge movie theater---the worlds biggest Imax or drive-in---but a sound stage is at least a use.
  18. That was funny. A question about something completely off topic: why is the"Hotel"member rank use that old Days Inn as the representative icon? That must be a joke. No need for an actual reply, or a scolding for being off topic. I just want to point that out.
  19. It was a shame they didn't play in Toyota. I went to both games, and the venue is less than ideal for basketball. Friday's game was reasonably loud, but the crowd was completely inaudible when I watch the game on Tivo. The ground-level seats where way too far away, and there was almost no slope in the seats, so when one person stood up, everyone had to stand. I'm alumni; I don
