  1. Before Midtown was called Midtown Holy Rosary was considered a Downtown parish. They have a latin.english Mass at 9:30 AM on Sundays.
  2. I played High Schhol Baseball in the late 70's and the team alwys enoyed it when we played teh west side hisd schools because we got to eat a Romano's cafateria.
  3. I like the GRB. It is not a bad looking building and a good place to attend a convention. I have been to Republican state conventions in San Antonio, Fort Worth, Dallas and here and Houston and thsi is the easiest to get around between main hall and cacus rooms.
  4. Del Taco is a franchisee run now much like Pizza Inn. It would take someone willing to but the product fromm DT.
  5. Del Taco expanded too fast and almost went bankrupt. They are coming back but at a slower rate.
  6. I have found the vast majority of the homless bother noone but the bad ones are so in your face they ruin it for the good ones. If the bad ones would be honest and say they want money for booze, drugs or smokes I would like it better. I know homeless poeple who go abouth their day eating free meals. taking free showers and sleeping in shelters or on the street. The ones I just mentioned have never asked me for money and I never seen them asking for money.
  7. Charismatics are real Catholics. Pope John Paul The Great and Pope benedict have both stated this. Most Charismatic Catholics I know are more prone to not be cafeteria Catholics.
  8. Doe's Anyone remeber the name of a Middle Eastern deli that was located on West Alabama nect to teh Stop and Go that was torn down to make way for the Annuncation Orthodox School gym. I think it may have been Micheal's. The food was good there. I could walk from my UST dorm to it in two minuets.
  9. i have no problem with one nice cross or maybe a statue of Christ like many of the great cities of the world have. My peoblem is that many of the mega churchs have coffee houses and popcorn and theatre seating. As mentioned by an earler post there is a lack of social programs at many of these hugh churchs. Having saqid that I know several people who attend the mega churchs who do good works on theit own. Houston as mo9re help for the homeless, near homless, unemployed and underempoyed then many other cities.. As a Catholic I can point out to Magnificat House, Isiah House, Catholic Charities, Matha's Kitchen, Fishes and Loaves, and several fod banks. The Episcapalians have brakfast at Palmer Memoria, and Lord Of the Streets offer help.
  10. I am a 96 grad. I did not go to UST till I was 31. I would not have been able to carry the load when I was 17. or 18.
  11. As a University Of St. Thomas grad I had several classesin the Hughes House. It needs an historical marker.
  12. Some of these guys are homeless and some are people who make little money and get the free food given at various places to stetch thie money. There is a vegeterian feed four nights a week downtown and a few of the ones there are students.
  13. I am glad they are fixing it up. The front of it has been a urinal for the homeless for a few years now. Onm a real hot day the smell can be overpowering.
  14. It may be too late but I am in the process of getting in touch with as many preservation boards as I can in the next few days. Wish me luck.
  15. Yes the inside area is beautiful. Not the rooms per se as they have undergone renovation twice over the years.
