    thanks y'all! Sorry RedScare, didn't mean to jump your case. Do you guys really think it will be blah? I so hope not!

    I'm actually excited about the lineup this year! It's gone back to its roots of country/western, hurray! I was sooo dismayed last year and I guess other people were too! Too many pop and other acts. YUCK! Hello, it's a rodeo? in Texas? Yeehaw for George Strait, Robert Earl Keen, and Pat Green!!!

    Well, that's not very helpful. What's the point of saying that if you don't even bother with a redirect? I didn't know I was doing something wrong...this is the West Loop/Galleria/Memorial forum, no? I didn't see it here. I would think it would be okay to post this subject, repeat or no repeat, considering it falls under the heading of Memorial. My apologies for my lack of observance.

    This should be interesting! http://www.bizjournals.com/houston/stories.../26/story4.html I am so excited!

    Yes, this is Town & Country, near I-10 and the Beltway. Hurray! I can smell my property value going up...LOL NewMND, the plans for the Radisson are unclear. MetroNational just purchased it, so it will not be part of Midway Co.'s project.

    I love most everything they mention--and would be super excited if we got Crate & Barrel, a Harry & David, and a Sundance movie theater! That would be cool!! Everything else would be icing on the cake! http://www.citycentrehouston.com/shopping/...f807a64e4aec04c Don't know if anyone has noticed, but Town & Country Center has really been spiffing things up a bit!! Tons of huge date palms going up and parts of the parking lot have been redone. Guess they're getting ready for the competition!

    Does anyone have any pics of the old Peppermint Park? I loved that place! I remember going there for a birthday party, it was awesome!!! Moderator edit: According to Wikipedia (user generated database, could be incorrect) Peppermint Park had several locations during its existence. 1958 located in the Sears parking lot, Pasadena, TX. 1963 located on the Gulf Freeway, near Gulfgate Shopping Center. 1972 located at 2701 North Loop West. 1979 located on Highway 59 at Beltway 8. 1986 located at 17164 Blackhawk Blvd. In Friendswoods, TX.

    I'm beginning to think a song from Beck is in order here... "Soy.......un perdador......." GO STROS! Don't make me sing that song. I BELIEVE!

    Gawd. Certainly isn't the Super Bowl, is it?

    mmmmmmmmm....love me some Mama's. They have delicious cheeseburgers!

    THANK GOD THEY ARE COMING BACK!!! I was surely a sad little gal when they left. I loved the cafe, does anyone remember it, outside?

    Wunsche Bros in Spring! It's not a "greasy spoon" per se, but they have the best beer bread, onion rings and comfort grub you could ever want!!

    I am LMAO at this thread!! I love the comments about the White Sox theme song I totally agree!!!!!! I like Red Scare's vote--ELO is awesome and that song is perfect!!!!

    Well, they're just a little too slow with introducing those "upscale products" 'cause when they took over, I never saw them! The old Randall's was run RIGHT and is what made them #1 in this market--the fact that Safeway bought them and they dropped to #4 should have told them something a long time ago. A bit like trying to fit a square peg into a round hole. The old model worked....the Onstead family should have held on a little longer. I bet HEB would have bought them.

    I'd like to see another Busch Gardens, like in Tampa...

    I have to say this has been a long time coming. Six Flags has neglected Astroworld for a long time because they knew they'd have a hot property on their hands once the stadium and light rail were built. When I heard the jacka*s CEO of Six Flags talk on TV about the closing I just shook my head and gave him the finger--especially when he said Six Flags wanted to maintain a presence here in Texas (Houston)...I nearly CHOKED.....I felt like saying, "Dumba*s, what do you think SIX FLAGS is for, you jerk?!" Hello!!!!! SIX FLAGS OVER TEXAS! Not Oklahoma and NOT New York City.... Idiot.... The stupid commercials for the past three years with the "fake" old man really turned me off. It's really sad, but the Astroworld most of us knew and loved is LONG gone.

    Does anyone know when Midway is scheduled to start on CityCentre (where T&C mall used to be)? It's been a grassy eyesore for months now. There are signs all around on the cyclone fencing about their financing being approved by Amegy Bank. They were put there in the last month or so. Anyone have a clue?
  18. Parrothead
    How about the Velvet Turtle? It's now the Colorado Bar & Grill (uh, and Boobies)

    I remember when Kingwood was the biggest high school and when my graduating class was the biggest in Houston. Now it isn't so anymore...thank goodness, because I see no benefit whatsoever with kids being treated like cattle. I don't think my counselor or teachers even knew my name half the time.
  20. Parrothead
    ahh.

    They still have Applebee's here. I know they aren't the best places to eat, but I have to admit I love them! I am so excited that they are building one next to West Oaks (over on the JC Penney side), but I have to wonder why there, if the mall is basically self-destructing? I wonder if they are going to tear it down? The Oriental Chicken Wrap-Up is my favorite, I get it every time! P.S. Thanks texasboy!!

    Panjo's Pizza at Town & Country The Hot Biscuit in Humble, TX Farrell's in the Galleria The Magic Pan in the Galleria El Fenix in the Galleria TimmyChan's, I used to go to the Tumbleweed with my parents!! I loved it, because I got to dance with my dad a lot!! That's all I can remember for now!

    I disagree that the location is the problem. Check Midway Companies' website. They have already torn down Town & Country mall (there's been a few discussions in this forum about it) and they have big plans for a new center. Town & Country Village (the new one built in 1998) is going strong at almost 100% leased. It is a thriving shopping center. I live across the street from it, so I definitely know that to be true!

    I'm not sure it's that, Midtown, though in any other circumstance I'd be inclined to agree when it comes to Rick Perry. UH does not have a genetics or genomics program as far as I know--if they do it's small potatoes compared to UT's and A&M's. UT's affiliation with MD Anderson gets them an awful lot of clout. Not sure what A&M's program is other than cloning--and that's what Lexicon's claim to fame is--cloning knockout mice.

    This is very exciting. My husband works in genetics/genomics and knows Lexicon very well. He'd love to be a part of this!
