  1. Grew up there and went to the same local h.school as my Parents & Grandparents. My family has lived in the area since the 30's and it's always been Studewood until you refer to the "The Heights", at this point "Independence Heights" generally comes into the discussion as Studewood is part of the "Independence Heights". They are one in the same, just when describing the the location it's easier to speak in terms of the "The Heights".
  2. The Joule and Charlie Palmer ROCK!!

  3. Just had to say this...Happy 4/20. lol

      Well, maybe he's a college student? You're right about that though. My entire FB feed yesterday was filled with 4/20 celebrators and haters.

  4. btho ?=Beat The Hicks Ole Irish! lol

  5. He's pretty much the best, why mot pay him? People leave jobs everyday to earn more...

  6. Star Pizza is the best and I'm a fan of "Chicago" style deep dish....you just have to have the appetite for it.
  7. Yeah, Chicago has a few versions of the Tower/brownstone & townhome action going, specifically in the Museum Park Tower area http://www.museumpark.com/home.asp, and it's wonderful and looks really pristine. This may be new to Houston, but it's great for an urban environment that's in need of non-high rise living.
  8. Sounds good...I'm visiting in a few months and plan to stop by
  9. I agree about the VW "CC", i saw it again at the car show last night and it almost resembles the Mercerdes CLS at half the price.
  10. Join the club, I'm in the south loop and from the looks of the picture, the editor must live in Streeterville ? The riverwalk area in naperville is great and so is their downtown...I've spent a lot of time out there over the past 5 yrs.
  11. Wish you the best of luck, I will definitely check this out the next time I'm in Houston!
  12. Wow, sounds exciting...however, I'd rather see this somewhere inside the loop b/c it'd definitely bring more density to wherever it's located. Kudos to Pearland..
  13. This is an entire discussion to itself, but since most of Houston isn't a population-dense city and home prices are still in check, it's hard to justify buying in a high rise unless you take into consideration the amenities(what's included in the maintenance fee) of most high-rises: THESE are Avg's. Only Landscaping: $25/month Pool usage: $20/month Workout facility (midscale w/privacy): $50 pp/month Homeowners Insurance (but, renters insurance, $100/yr, is needed): $120/month Standard Cable/Internet: $100/month Water: $10 Total: $325 At some places, Electricity is also included, so go figure. It's not that bad of a deal at all, it's just all about what's included!
  14. .. Welcome to HAIF, I just want to warn you that your life will never be the same after you've joined (In a good way)...Anyway can you give us more details, as in how the project looks from a ground level, how close it matches the renderings, etc... THX
  15. wow, way to start a topic on a taboo subject. My vote is that it's real...
  16. An update about Sonoma from an email that I received from their sales team: Thank you for your interest in Sonoma. Just a friendly follow-up to inform you the developer has obtained financing for the property. We anticipate ground breaking February of 2009 when Walgreens lease expires. Our sales center is up and running again after Ike, and we invite you in for the latest information on Sonoma. Our hours are Monday - Friday 11-5, Saturday 11-5, and Sunday 1-5. We are elated of the progess, and would love for you to make Sonoma your new home. Please contact us if you would like us to email you floor plans, floor plates, or a price sheet. We look forward to working with you. Have a great weekend! Sincerely, Gloria/ Keith Sonoma Sales Team 713.524.0444 713.822.3163 (cell) 2401 1/2 Bolsover Houston, Tx 77005
  17. Go to "West Ave" in the "Going Up" Section and scroll down the various pages. There should be multiple pictures there.
  18. That huge grass lot that borders Montrose, Dallas, and Waugh is where the Whole Food's and a small mixed use project will take place. Check out the Montrose n.hood topic list.
  19. I'd donate to a "Clean up West End Park" campaign... Also, if you want to see a great n.hood park, there's Cleveland park at JAckson Hill b/w Memorial and Scotland. This should only be a 6-9 minute walk from you're new location...Good Luck
  20. I've also lived just South of Washington 4 minute walk to Pearl Bar and chaise lounge....The positive thing that I can say is that the majority of the older/unkept homes have been demolished are in the plans to be demolished south of washington in less than a year or two. For Example, within a two year span (06-08) I viewed huge lots of older homes go done and TH's come up in abundance. As mentioned earlier, if you view what's happening South of washington and the lack of older homes to tear down...This should give you a reference point of when to expect the area North of Washington to be cleaned up.... I'm also aware of the area off of Patterson and Washington near Center Street and the new Retail Development (Joy Yoga and the furniture place)....but it will be gone very soon. Check this out... http://search.har.com/engine/dispSearch.cf...mp;backButton=Y The Entire Block is for sale!
  21. I agree, I visited the Mosiac for a Christmas party thrown by "FIT" and the 7th floor is awesome..the only thing that's missing is an ocean view
