  1. Good God wtf is that. That's really disturbing.

  3. I took an involved tour of it years ago when I was in college and needed a job, so I applied to be its "night watchman." It's absolutely huge, much larger than it looks. I remember seeing the old raquetball courts filled with junk, mostly in the dark. Slightly strange to see. As I recall there are large portions that aren't even used at all. I also wish somebody would find a use for it rather than tear it down. But in Houston, the thinking is that if it's not new, it sucks. It's in the water in this town, and it's very frustrating.
  4. Interior looks very nice. Hopefully the salmon is good.
  5. Couldn't agree more. I've never understood why some people think it's "upscale" to live in a filing cabinet. But hey, more power to them.
  6. I grew up in Corpus Christi, but came to Houston a lot when I was a kid in the 80s. Some of my first memories of Houston are of Town and Country mall. I always had a soft spot for it, and I was sad to see it go.
  7. here's some pics of the interior-- pretty cool:
  8. I've lived in Houston for about 15 years now, all over the city. Now I'm thinking of moving downtown, and was wondering about the Franklin Lofts, renting, that is. There are a couple on HAR and they look nice. Anyone know anything pro or con about them?
  9. Can't happen soon enough, as far as I'm concerned. Dining options out here are pretty bad. Any pappas restaurant would work for me.
  10. I remember staying here with my family as a kid when we would come to Houston to go to Astroworld and the Dome. It was located at 2100 South Braeswood at Greebriar, and I don't recall seeing it in quite a while. Anyone know what happened to it?
  11. Isn't that sign on Figueroa across the street from USC in LA? I remember seeing a sign like that over there...
  12. I remember the Arby's, and the Mcdonald's. It seems like they were kind of back in a corner, if i remember correctly. So no one has any pics?
  13. Yet another banal filing cabinet full of cheesy cost cutting apartments masquerading as "luxurious high-rise" residences. Yay.
  14. What were the anchor stores in the mall? Of course I remember the Dillards, which WAS really 80s, but someone said Neiman Marcus? I don't remember that one. There was something about the interior of the mall in general that I really liked--
