I'm not sure I like the thought of the 90's being "historic" I did not think of myself as old until this thread.

I shop the Randalls on Louisiana and Kroger on Montrose when I am in town, I really don't see a lot of price difference but I do think that the "Safeway Select" brands are higher quality than the comparable Kroger or HEB house products. I would hate to see the Louisiana store close for that reason. Another thought on the same subject. If Safeway pulls the plug I think that Walmart's Neighborhood Markets would be a natural fill in for a lot those boxes. Htx

We might very well be the retention pond capital of the world. Why not capitalize on it?

"If you actually went over there, you would see the grass is almost dead from foot traffic cutting a path on that side of the street. People are using it. The only people who aren't using it are handicapped people. But it isn't like there is a federal law protecting their right to access public places." If all of the Heights was so opposed to WM as you have implied why is the grass dead? HTX

Can't wait to see the ad that touts the benefit of being close to the a major transportation hub.

You did not take a picture of my place, Should I be offended? Htx

I'd vote to do away with the Super Block park to make space for Sams

Anyone know why the bridge did not qualify for some of that "shovel ready" project money that was floating around a while back?

I don't think that the "hillbilly Arkansas" is what galls the anti Walmart crowd. Walmart is the villain because they were targeted by unions and Walmart won that battle. Ever since then the progressive left has done every in their power to vilify a company that is one of the greatest American success stories of all time never mind our time. Google "Ben Franklin + Sam Walton" if you don't know the connection you might be surprised. Htx

Obviously you did not buy your duck hunting license this year at local Heights mom & pop or Walmart. :-) Htx

Fixed it for you.

Sorry but that is just being naive. It may be more difficult for a man without children to qualify but not for the momma's of those children. Do you really not realize that they demand their 'cut' of that Lonestar Card?

I think the wedge defined by 45S, 288 and the coast outside of the beltway is a good bet for industrial growth in Harris and Galveston County long term. Three ports and allot of undeveloped farm land down there.

"The argument is just a red herring because there is no good argument for Walmart." Uh. They stock lot's of stuff, and sell it at a price low enough that even the most unfortunate of our citizens can afford big screen TV's?

Maybe I am missing something but it seems that the one thing that is not addressed is a bicycle friendly way to access the park from the south side of Allen Parkway.

Are they ever going to open Bagby back up? I thought the closure was only for a month but now I am beginning to wonder when or if

I noticed a new variance request sign on the empty lot bounded by these streets. Anyone know what they are planning?

Top row far left. First thing I thought when I opened the link was "toilet bowl with the brush right there." Glad the design evolved

I think a multi level apartment complex would have to be added to make everyone happy.

And a bigger "wilted produce" section.

Good luck with your blog. I have it book marked and will look forward to checking in.

What? No gas station at this one? I want the gas station! Is there a petition some where to make Walmart put one in as a requirement to building on this site?

I seem to remember January being the opening date but don't remember where I heard that. What ever color they paint it it will be a welcome addition.

I thought the same thing. I have also wondered if it would be possible to add a crossover under the Sabine St. bridge using the existing foundations for pedestrians and bikes since there are no ramps, just steps to get from street level down to the bayou path.
