Yes, because I won't have to get on 610 or I-45 to get there. And we don't do our shopping during weekday rush hour. Do the rest of you? I guess that's one way to stress yourself out. Have fun.

I'm not sure it had anything to do with change of ownership, more likely a term in the lease, but at Allen House they did tell people to be out before some of their leases were up. I'm sure there was a minimum notice # of days, but a friend of mine had to be out 3 months before his lease was up.

Question (maybe a dumb one): It's a "pedestrian" bridge, but can I ride my bike across it? Obviously this depends on landings, but those usually have ramps instead of steps. It's just kind of crazy getting down there with the kid trailer sometimes. Might be just as crazy trying to go down a ramp with it.

These days, yes it pretty much does. There aren't any remnants of the original neighborhood south of I-10, but the original did extend about to Washington. Not all of this development would be within the original boundaries. For as democrat and free-will as my hood seems to be, there sure is a lot of NIMBY going on. I'm not sure I'm a Heights lifer. People just get too worked up over things that really don't matter.

Why stop there with the pointless retort, just say he'll never find an example with a Walmart Supercenter in the west end. It doesn't matter whether the example is Walmart or not, do you assume the city should have Walmart-specific policies, or do what they are doing and treat it the same as other developments around town?

I lived a few houses west of that intersection on Welch from 2002-2005, those were good times. Our best anti-prowler security was me sitting on the porch drinking all night, sometimes with a guitar. I miss that porch. Great view of the gigantic rats as they crawled along the power lines at night.

I forgot to use my super sarcasm font. Ok there it is.

Come on guys, all it needs is some snazzy lighting scheme at night and you know you'll love it.

Saints-Texans super bowl would be tons of fun! The ratings would be horrible, but whatever, 2 in a row for my 'aints is all I care about.

I don't give a flip about the Dynamo but I'm for it. What's your deal?
-
I read it but it was late and I was dozing off - does it say whether the designation of contributing vs non-contributing is something that is done as a district is getting historical-ized, or does it only get deemed one or the other if a matter is put before the HAHC? My place is clearly non-contributing, but I'm certain that applies to the existing structures only and not if I decide to do a new structure.

I've stated my opinions on many issues throughout this thread. It's not complex. Thanks to you it can be way more entertaining than it should be, so please keep posting your opinions as facts.

What you post is not interesting. It is slightly amusing in that you put so much angst and effort toward opposing something that is going to happen no matter what you think or do, and will have zero negative effects on you once it is inevitably built. You are trying so hard to live up to this ABO image that is one of the things I hate most about my neighborhood. You are not special, and this isn't some kind of moral outrage that warrants the elite anti-everythings busting aneurysms all over the place. The city has decided that this project is beneficial to its citizens, so it has put a stake in it. Fine by me.

s3mh, did you start another HAIF login as J008 just so you could put +1 on all of your posts? Or are they a real-life ABO lackey of yours?
-
Huh, I always thought it was because they give the token update on some human atrocities taking place in Africa, read by someone with a british accent. Same thing I guess.
-
I don't even click on those articles/blogs any more, I'm tired of reading the BS. Really those people are just wasting their time. They've already made up their mind, as would any person who reads and agrees with it have already done. In the end it's just a bunch of disseminated bitching, and there is zero point to printing/publishing it.

I'll be there all next week. I'll report back on how the ta's are received.

It bothers me when people say "cheers" at the end of a phone call or email. I work with a lot of english people, so I get this a lot. I just don't follow the origin of it. "Cheers"...sounds like you are declaring that there should be cheers all around, as if some great success just happened. No, we just talked about some crap for work.

Angry Bungalow Owner. It's like an AWP, but they try to impose their way on everyone else.

Come on guys, complimentary cooked to order breakfast?? Forget all the rabble about ugly, hook me up with a waffle stuffed with a 9 egg omelet with a pound of bacon in it!
-
I agree. s3mh is just the leader of the ABO when it comes to Walmart and historic districts.
-
I guess I could have said more, but they are doing work all up and down the part between Waugh and Sabine (that's all we walked today). There were more paths leading up from the trail when it goes on the north side of Memorial for a bit, maybe there is a tie-in to the neighborhood there?? Somewhere close to Sawyer St maybe? I couldn't really tell and we didn't go up the paths since some were incomplete. There was a lot more dirt/silt on parts of the trail than there used to be. And not just a little, but 6 inches of it or more in some spots.
-
I'm telling you, some urban art or maybe a full-building Rockets ad would do well there. Just put some lipstick on that pig! (and make $ off of it)
-
I guess the biggest progress from the April photos above are the pilons. From the Allen/right bank side: They're paving new pathways all over, this one from the trail up to Montrose where there wasn't one before (Allen side) A few from the Memorial/left bank side:
