    I'd love to confirm it but I kind of doubt it. Hope I'm wrong!

    How long do you think it will take for this thread to appear: "Dallas gets a Nestle Tollhouse!!"

    There has been some really good suggestions for McCains on this forum. I think I'll drop buy and leave them with this web address. I'm sure they would appreciate the constructive criticism and the fact that so many want them to succeed.

    Or how about the Houston Enrons. "well folks our hometown Enrons lost a tough game to the Cards 5 to 4. No wait.....the official Enron scorekeeper re-worked the numbers and Houston wins 6-5....Yeeeeah......"

    If the Houston Dynamo builds it's own stadium with it's own money no one would have the right to complain about who they sell the naming rights to. But even suggesting that an ISD build them a stadium and saying that is not using tax dollars, well that is a new low and I can't believe they have the Huavos to even ask.

    Hmmm....great idea. The head cheerleader could be a drag queen called Dyna Mo and the squad could be the Dyna Mo Humms. Aaaaaah, I miss 'ol Frank. Off topic a bit here (OK, a lot) but the classic Nightline show was the one on censorship of music. On one side of the debate (against) were Frank Zappa and Donnie Osmond. On the other side was Tipper Gore. Poor girl didn't know what hit her. When Frank posed the question to Tipper "if your daughter doesn't know what a weenie is how will she recognize a weenie wagger?". Poor Tipper was a bit stunned. It was hard to prepare for a debate with Frank Zappa I guess.

    Sounds like fun. Have to check it out sometime. If you load the Google tool bar it has a spell checker that works on posts.

    See the Houston Neighborhoods->The Heights->More Target Info thread.

    ....or a double naught spy.

    I hope that nasty concrete furniture in the lobby is the first to go. Wonder what the price per/sf would be? 150 maybe?

    I wonder if this would be feasable for McCain's Market. Make a Caninos run in the AM and set up a produce and flower section in the front, like those markets in NYC. That is assuming they aren't planning on tables out front.

    Yes they should do well. They need to expand their hours and prepared foods. They will have to establish a lunch trade to survive. Can't wait to check out the new Thai Spice. I'll give them a few weeks to work out their opening day bugs out.

    Spam: Ingredients: Chopped pork shoulder meat with ham meat added. Salt (for binding, flavour, and firmness) Water (to help in mixing) Sugar (for flavour) Sodium Nitrite (for colour and as a preservative) Nothing nasty about the Spam ingredients. I like it too. Fried w/eggs. Yum. Here are some Spam haikus in honor of the pink meat (authors unknown). "Slow down," she whispered now guiding my trembling hands "Turn the key slowly." Silken pig tofu The color of spanked buttocks Blushing at my knife.

    Potted Meat: Mechanically Separated Chicken, Beef Tripe, Partially Defatted Cooked Beef Fatty Tissue, Beef Hearts, Water, Partially Defatted Cooked Pork Fatty Tissue, Salt. Less than 2 percent: Mustard, Natural Flavorings, Dried Garlic, Dextrose, Sodium Erythorbate, Sodium Nitrite Yuuuuuuuummy!

    That is great news. Thai Spice is really good. There lunch buffet is excellent, costs a little more but well worth it.

    Typical Heights retail hours. At least they are open 'til 8 on weeknights. Can't wait to stop by and check them out.
  17. west20th
    Yes. Right after his last big hit. Montego Bay. Sorry. Couldn't resist.
  18. west20th
    Rog is great. Gives us old guys some hope. But at 18 mil a year I think the 'stros would be be better off spreading that money around for some more hitting.
  19. west20th
    NMain. Are they going to take the whole strip center?
  20. west20th
    I'll be there quite often for the convenience alone. I'm hoping they have better hours (open to 9 maybe?). Driving through the traffic nightmare of Weslayan & Westheimer pretty much keeps me away from CM even though I really like the store. I won't even mind parking on the street and walking a ways. Parking will be tight there but the exercise won't hurt and it will probably still be a shorter walk than at the CM parking lot.

    Thanks for the info. I'll stop by SF to see if I can find the mag. I did some Google searches on McCain's Market but no hits. Must be the first one, not a chain. Sounds like a mini Eatzi's. Really exciting news.

    Crickets is a great place. Great gelato. Great coffee. The hours aren't so great though. Would love to stop there for a coffee after work but I think they close at 6. Most (all?) of the shops on 19th have very inconvenient hours for the working person. That sounds great. Exactly the kind of place the Heights needs. Can't wait 'til they open. Does the local Heights magazine you mentioned have an Internet link?

    There is a new building next to it. It's huge and quite nice. Probably slated for offices. Anyway, it definitely isn't a tear-down. The other building (fronting on 6th) is quite nice but seems to be under-utilized. Hope it doesn't become a parking lot.

    And the vegetable soup that comes with most meals is better than Mom used to make (similar though) and Mom was Slovack. Go figure. Great burgers. Finding them when they are open can be a challenge though. Love going there for lunch on Saturday. Lucky Burger, while not as good as Langfords, has a really good burger also.
