    rumor has it they are re-branding that location La Quinta*Plus in celebration with their partnership with Dollar Tree to become more upscale featuring in-room complimentary snacks such as Races Peanutbutter Patties, Snackers, Butterthumbs, and more... (*note, there will a small sign inside the closet taped on the bottom of the paperboard shelf, that advises to check the expiration date of all in-room snacks but also advises that most brands usually have a shelf life of 2 to 3 years beyond what is printed on the wrapper although discoloration of all chocolate flavored products is to be expected and that La Quinta*Plus should not be held responsible for sickness or injury or bodily harm...or worse...) I also heard them mention something about installing jets in the pool to turn it into a hot tub after 10...(adults only of course).

    River Oaks District: Mixed-Use Development At 4444 Westheimer Rd. & 4702 Westheimer Rd.

    in River Oaks/Upper Kirby/Greenway Plaza/Bissonnet

    I have been saying that since day 1...they did it backwards....they should have had the restaurants first to get people to visit the development and bring people to the stores, because as it is now, the place is for the most part, a ghost town no matter the time of day or day of the week (and i know because i DO frequent iPic..)

    so yeah...i cannot wait to have some great restaurant choices and to have this place feel really ALIVE! :) 

    (also the opening of the Grey House will help i am sure!)

    Who kicks people when they are down in life? Homeless people have every legal right to be and go anywhere as anyone else.

     

    In fact, I prefer homeless people over santimonious narcissists who move into the city with their suburban mentalities of exclusion. Speakin of taking and never giving anything back...these types of sentiments are worse than homeless people. A moral homelessness, if you will.

     

    Make sure to hate and aschew the homeless at church this weekend.

     

    so many things bother me about this crazy statement...as no one is saying that homeless people cant go anywhere they want, but they shouldnt be able to pee, poo, sleep, loiter where us with nice apartments cant  :blink: (there is a ton of great resources out there for homeless people and when able or when they are receptive i actually take the time to say hi and tell them about them when the opportunity presents itself...i hate that we take care of other countries before we take care of our own and homelessness truly makes me sad, as i cannot image just how horrible that is and dont want to)

    Westheimer Oaks: Retail Center At 2400 Mid Ln.

    so that ugly nondescript 3 story building in the photos is for retail?! it looks like it should be some kind of storage space or something...kooky! i have wondered forever why it was built and what it was for (and better yet, why its been sitting there for so long being unused or worked on etc...) it doesn't fit in with ROD or Highland Village...cant wait to see what moves in there...should be interesting as from the looks of it, its more suited for studios and office space etc...not retail.
