    As does Seattle. The University of Washington is located there. Great city that also has tons of big city amenities. I think you're selling Seattle short here.

    I forgot to post another update but they have one from as of 12/31/2016. http://www.harriscountytx.gov/CmpDocuments/74/Budget/FY18 Population Report.pdf Has the inner loop at 519,000. If this is true, 525,000 could be reached by this year, if not already.

    I don't know. The Super Bowl weekend socially is far more popular with those same artists than the Final Four. There will be more parties around town and in downtown I bet for that weekend. Similar to the NBA all star weekend I would imagine.

    I don't live to far from this DCUSA. It's three levels and there is a parking garage. On the first level is Modell's, Marshalls, and Payless. On the second floor is Target, Best Buy, and Bed Bath and Beyond. On the third level is a Washington Sport's Club. Right across the street are apartments to the left and across the street and there is more retail on the first floor of both apartment buildings. There's many more retail stores in this area right under the the Target like a Ihop, Chick-Fil-A, etc. It's an extremely popular area of DC and it is always packed. Just a mere 3 minute walk is a little square in front of another apartment with retail on the bottom. Across the street from the apartment is Giant grocery store.

    SIAP. I see that on the Kimpton Hotels site, they note Houston as a target market. My link

    Looks good except for the parking lot.

    I don't think it's that much of a pipe dream. Aldi's I believe is the parent company for Trader Joe's and they are about to explode into the Texas market by building a warehouse in North Texas that will serve the state of Texas and southern Oklahoma by fall 2009. History shows that wherever Aldi's goes, Trader Joe's quickly follows.

    It looking like Boston does not seem to impress the bloggers on this link. http://swamplot.com/the-new-regent-square-...5-27/#more-2097

    It took Philly forever to build structures this tall. Philly's skyline has been short for some time now until recently. It's honestly about time Philly started to build structuers this tall. Philly was patient and Houston will have to be as well and it looks like they are. You don't need to build supertalls for nothing.

    Yeah I seen that. That was posted on the Zone. Just about everyone laughed.
  15. Spades
    That's just on here. But on the Zone and on CF, most Cowboy fans are not taking it well but have moved on and talked about what we need to do next year to improve. As a Cowboy fan, I never bring up the 5 rings thing or history unless I really really have to. But that subject did not nered to be brought up in this discussion. Hopefully we improve on the draft with our two draft picks. Or, we made trade our two draft picks to Miami for their number 1 pick. We have alot of cap room to work on and we need another receiver. Glenn is done. I like that we may get Fitzgerald or Roy Williams.

    Name the few others. I can understand Walter Payton and maybe Barry Sanders and I say maybe because Barry did not perform well under pressure especially in the playoffs and he did have pro bowler Lomis Brown on the offensive line. If other running backs could run through that offensive line, how come all the other backs couldn't? Barry was a better runner than Emmitt. Emmitt was the better rusher and the more complete back. Blocking, Catching the ball out of the backfield, and running is what made Emmitt great. If Emmitt wasn't that good, why did the Cowboys start 1993 0-2 and once he came back, the Cowboys proceeded to go 12-2 on the way to winning it's 2nd straight superbowl.

    No that's not it. We have a losing record against the Niners all time but we see them as one of our chief rivals. It comes down to history and there is none between the Cowboys and Texans and there probably never will be one unless the two teams meet in the superbowl.

    Which is why I exactly said outside of the Houston area. If you do go outside of the Houston area, you will rarely here that from Cowboy fans. I just find it funny how Texan fans have the Cowboys as one of there top rivals yet Cowboy fans do not think of the Texans as rivals at all. In fact, the Texans have the Cowboys as one of their top 5 rivalries while the Cowboys have the Texans outside of the top 10. This isn't a diss to the Texans because I actually root for them when they aren't playing the Cowboys. But it's still weird yet funny to see the hatred be so one-sided.
  19. Spades
    lol. That's funny though. Most Dallas fans outside of the Houston area or even Texas do not know that Texan fans hate the Cowboys so much. I'm a huge Cowboy fan and I don't hate the Texans because there really is no need. I and many other Cowboy fans I know root for the Texans because they are from Texas. Wonder why the hatred is so one-sided. Is it because of the amount of fans in Houston that are Cowboy fans.

    I hope it's not a Mandarin. Dallas is getting one. Instead, Houston could/would be the first city in the south and the fourth in the US to get a Peninsula Hotel. Here's the website. http://www.peninsula.com/ I think this would do great in Houston.

    From what I'm reading on the House Of Hoops thing. I really like the sound of it. It will be a great addition to HP. Also, Journey Shoes will be great. I like Timbs (I know many southerners don't but eh lol) and they sell them. What is Old Havana? They sell cigars or something?
  22. Spades
    You're right. He's only been to two back to back NBA Finals. He would be a two-time NBA champion if it wasn't for a certain Jordan beasting in Chicago.
  23. Spades
    Add a 0 on there and you may have a point. It's going to take alotttt longer than 20 years for any city not named New York to catch up to Chicago in the United States.

    I'm sorry but I don't. What I think hurts the Rockets is the lack of experience in the playoffs. I don't believe anybody on the team has even been to the 2nd round besides Bonzi. Also, the lack of consistent point guard play and power forward play will be their downfall. Especially at the point guard position. They can give them a scare, but I think the Mavs, Suns, and Spurs are better. Yes Spurs. Do not sleep on them because they are having a tough time right now. They usually pick up their play on the rodeo trip which is happening in a couple week. But the team to beat right and in the playoffs will be the Mavs. They are still the defending western conference champions and are playing the best basketball out of any team in the league.

    I am going to respectfully disagree. The Cowboys are a bit more talented than the Texans but the Cowboys coaching is not good whatsoever. Bad playcalling, horrible preperation, too many off the field antics, bad schemes developed by coaching, and an undisciplined team was what killed this team. This team should have been much better than 9-7. They have the players, but not the coaching. We could not rush the qb because Mike Zimmer and unimaganitive mind could not create any scheme to do so and BP doesn't like to blitz because he doesn't like to get burned. As a result, that killed our secondary which already had a safety who can't cover and another safety who's just learning the speed of the game. Also, we also had a couple players that half assed out there on the field like Bradie James for example. Offensively, we did not address the problem last offseason enough and that's the oline. Rivera is done and so is Flozell Adams. The only bright spots were Columbo and Gurode. We could not pass protect nor open holes for our running backs. The game has passed Bill by. One coach is now gone and that is Zimmer and most Cowboy fans are ready to throw a parade. The other needs to remove himself as well and I really believe there's a good chance it will happen. I don't see the Texans having a better record than the Cowboys at all if we get the right coaching in tact.
