    Kieut. 😄

    I believe Tucker has two more years on his contract. If he keeps performing as he has Crane will have good reason to give him an extension as well and no excuse not to. Bregman also has two years left on his current contract IIRC.

    Gold star for a great idea. ⭐ I wish them success and I'm sure they will have it.

    Good use of your "extra" time. Thanks, hindesky. I had a special tour of the Courthouse shortly after its latest renovation (one of those perquisites or being an architect 😁) and it is a truly magnificent structure.

    Sounds like a good time. Unfortunately, I will not be in town and my valentine will be in another place entirely. I would like to see anyone's review of the evening. Hopefully, Hyatt will have similar events in the future. I haven't been to "Spend"letop since 1980 but I remember it well.

    I believe roadrunners was a good choice and I am pleased to see this happening in my new (as of July 2021) hometown.

    That's too bad. It definitely belongs in the guide.

    Brings back memories of the "Luv Ya, Blue" days. Go Texans!

    Having dined at Hungry's next to this site and attended Bach Society events at Christ the King Lutheran Church across Rice Blvd. I can attest getting out of the parking lot onto the street can be a challenge at times. Turning left onto Rice? Forget it. Turn right and make the block. 😬

    I sure hope we can shake the home field curse that plagued the team last year, especially during the play-offs. It was just weird.

    I ate at the Hudson House in Addison a little over a year ago. I was in town on business and taken there by a colleague who raved about the place. Everyone is entitled to his or her opinion but it doesn't mean he or she knows good food or decent service for that matter. This place had neither.

    Gene, I should have mentioned the Alabama Theater/Bookstop in context for those who may be new to the city. Thanks for the clarification. I visited the Alabama several times when it was a movie theater and a bookstore. I stopped in Trader Joe's once when it first opened but not since. I cannot say if I ever saw a "picture show" at the Tower Theater though I did see "The Girl in a Swing" starring Meg Tilly at the River Oaks when it was released in 1988.

    What a novel (pardon the pun) idea - a bookstore in an old movie theater. Actually, that should be something very welcome in the Montrose as long as it was not just another Barnes & Noble. It doesn't have to be only new, commercially popular books. I suggest a specialty bookstore like those mentioned in this thread:

    I've always enjoyed Ouisie's Table. It's different from Grace's but IMO on par with that restaurant. I think you might like State of Grace at 3258 Westheimer (aross from Lamar High).

    He will be missed. I hope the Astros can keep him on in some capacity. I believe he has much valuable insight to offer the younger players.

    Ha! Glad to learn this, ChannelTwoNews. As I stated over a decade ago, "Don't mess with my James' Coney Island." Next time I'm back home in Houston I will check in on the James' Coney Island in Meyerland.

    I like "The highways are concrete, but the boundaries are a bit squishy." but how about "An historic neighborhood with a vibrant evolving character?"

    My apologies for being so late, Luminare, but congratulations are definitely in order. 👏 I remember very well the day long ago when I received "that letter" from the Texas Board of Architectural Examiners. The feeling was surpassed only by the births of my children. Having read your posts over the past almost a decade I believe you have been, and will continue to be a strong leader in the design community.

    I do not want to take sides in this discussion - I moved from West U to Central Texas more than two years ago - but that image is too funny. 😄 Thanks, Tumbleweed.

    Ah ha! Thank you, TrainTrak.

    What is that building to the left in the second image? I ❤️ that red (or is it orange) Porsche behind the fence. The silver (or is it blue) car next to it appears to be another Porsche of a more recent vintage.

    Governor Hogg's children truly left a continuing legacy for Houston. Ima Hogg died the year the marker was erected so her death date is not recorded.

    I am certainly reviving an old thread but I saw no mention of DiBellas at 1902 31st Street in Galveston. It certainly had (or is it has) the "vibe." I haven't been there in 10 years though.

    I know this building was demolished at some point but I cannot find anything about the date. It was a grand building and had quite an auditorium inside.
