With the announcement of Tilman Fertitta buying the ROD for $500 million made me think of something. I thought, maybe 10 or 15 years ago, Fertitta was having financial problems and was selling off properties. Times change, and the rich get richer, so maybe it doesn't even matter. He actually bought a parcel in Memorial recently as well. Can't wait to see what he does with that! Tilman Fertitta has done a lot for Houston, especially for the University of Houston. Though, some people get a weird vibe from him and his restaurants. I remember the whole fiasco about UT's 307-acre proposal, and how Fertitta sided with UH and got politics involved, thus causing UT to back out of the proposed campus. Anyways, enough about his character. Tilman and his Fertitta Entertainment built the only 5-star Hotel in Houston, The Post Oak Hotel At Uptown Houston. Pretty impressive real estate developer! I look forward to the renovations and additions to the River Oaks District. It's also nice to know that ROD is now locally owned. There are 2 vacant parcels on West Creek Lane, and one old (1990s?) apartment complex. I'd hope for a hotel, or office building since the area already contains high-rise condominiums and apartments. Here's a photo I took today while visiting BLVD Place. TPOHAUH (The Post Oak Hotel At Uptown Houston).

The Toyota center may seem not so big on the outside, but people don't realize is that it sinks into the ground like the Astrodome and the Compaq Center. Thats why the Astrodome isn't so tall as the Reliant Stadium. I think its a real good idea with the Hilton putting pedestrian bridges across to the convention center and the arena. I wonder what someone will do with the patch of grass next to it? I hope somone builds a little pond/reflecting pool/park there.

I've never been a huge sports fan, but I always root for the Houston teams and if they're doing well, I'll jump on the bandwagon. I've been keeping up with and have been enjoying the Rockets for the last several months. Anyone else excited that they've made it to the play-offs? That hasn't happened in a while, has it? I won't get my expectations too high, but we can always hope. They were outstanding on Saturday. I love watching them!

In the news recently, it was made known that Landry's is getting all of their financial "ducks in a row" in what looks to be an attempt to purchase something big. Citykid added in another post: This leaves me wondering Houstonians, what theme park would we want next? Which would we benefit the most from? Where would we put it?

Tillman Fertitta lives in a 25,000+ square foot house on Willowick Road in River Oaks. I've never seen it in person, but when my brother drove by after golfing at a course nearby, he said that it was gigantic, and all of the garage doors were open to display his exquisite car collection. Does anyone have pictures of this palace? I'm dying to see it! p.s. The address is 3800 Willowick, and the best view you can get (without pictures) is going to maps.live.com, typing in the address and clicking "Bird's eye."
