  1. Seeing that BEAUTIFUL warehouse with all of the intricate details torn up almost made me cry. Seeing what is replacing it made me want to puke.

    Midtown and the Eastside are destined to be the "new" Gulfton in 20 years or the next time we have a bust cycle. The majority of new construction there is cheap cheap cheap. I can't imagine a lot of the fake stucco, suburban siding, and other types of materials will stand up well to the test of time...

    And, once it starts going bad, it will turn sketch very quickly. Narrow streets with nothing but garage doors facing it will make for a South Bronx-like street scape if the yuppies leave!

    Ditto, I always look at new buildings with a "wonder how that will look in 10 or 20 years."

    I mean, most of that midtown development is going to look just awful in just a few years I think.

    Some of those materials don't do well in our climate...yuk! Hardi-plank is a great product though and does just fine.

  2. I can't find anything on Google. There must have been a few old large homes out there. I work with a guy that has told me before this thread that his family used to own a very large old custom house built way back when, that was on several acres of land. The man that built it left it to my co-worker's grandmother because she helped take care of him when he was sick. There was some freaky haunted stuff at this particular place too. It was torn down as well. The location of the home was further east, I-10/Dell Dale.

    I am a fool for thinking that Weingarten will take this into consideration, but I can still hope so.

    It would just be disgusting and sick if they tore down these landmarks or OSW, etc... :(

  4. The x-wife still lives in the area, according to research I did last year.

    I was able to pinpoint her because of the marriage records on HCTX. She remarried after O'Bryan and

    was under that name (which I do not recall now). The neighborhood behind Parktown is where

    she lives...between Red Bluff and Pasadena Blvd.

    If I was her I think I would have moved further away...that is just so creepy.

  5. I grew up in Pasadena; years ago there was a great fast food

    place called "Burger Prince." They had the best burgers, onion rings

    and malts. :wub: The old man that ran it sold it in the 80s and it

    never was the same, needless to say it did not last long after that.
