And it’s not because Houston’s a discount play, Nick says—the rents at the River Oaks District prove that, and he says the team’s about to take those to a whole new level there.^^^ wow! this is absolutely BRILLIANT news.... and long time coming! props for sharing drlan34.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good find, although I'm a bit skeptical of this claim. I would think other more urban cities would be the third choice. Chicago in particular, but also San Fran and Boston. Then again, I don't operate in this area, so I defer to these guys. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SF and Boston have higher cost of operating. Just an idea Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

imagoman Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 Monarch, my main man, I'm confused. You post all this breaking news and wonderful photos for your Houston tribe. And for some reason, I have it in my head that you are working in the middles east for an oil co. Do you have a very fashionable little blue and red outfit with a big 'S' and a dash of yellow in your closet? Are am I confused for some other reason? At any rate, thank you for the update. I drove through almost every day since the opening, but clearly, missing the past 2 days and I've missed 2 openings. Anyone know the date of iPic opening? Security said they're moving fast, hiring, training, etc. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arndthwrld82 Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 Monarch if you talk in the same style as you post here I think it would be absolutely mesmerizing. Maybe you should try to get some voice over work that you write the dialogue yourself. I can just hear Morgan Freeman saying "excellent illustration as per this magnificent edifice". 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(some sites say nov 5th)you can purchase Spectre movie tickets on their site now...and dont forget to sign up on their site for the membership before the opening date so you can get a free upgraded membership (sapphire level) and 1 free movie ticket! i have already purchased my Star Wars 3D ticket for Dec 17th as well! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
