    Sounds like the 1960's. "If you remember it, you weren't there."

    I responded to your PM about this already, but I'll note here for everyone else that I'm looking into whether this can be put back the way it was.

    Yes. I'm not sure how you'd get a picture of it, other than being stuck in polo club traffic, but I saw two on Memorial Drive recently. They're on the supports for the Woodway Drive bridge over Memorial. Here's the Apple Maps versions:

    Probably. It's my fault for not reading through the thread fully. Someone complained about the post, and I made the mistake of replying to it on its own, instead of in context. The internet seems to have given a lot of people very thin skin. I shouldn't have responded that way.

    The mayor's been legit in office for a legit few months. I legit don't believe he's had enough time to legit replace all the roach sidewalks. How about we legit stick to the topic at hand, and leave the roach politics for the politics section.

    I'm OK with some limited number of food carts in parks, but not a full-blown park food culture. Houston already has a huge problem with trash, and the bayous are already full of garbage. Go to Moody Park and there's a tree along the bayou with its bottom half almost completely covered in plastic bags and other trash. It's been a long time since the days of "Don't mess with Texas." People have little pride of place, or civic pride these days. A couple of food carts in the parks are probably manageable. But a bunch of them will likely get out of hand. I'd like to see the city set up designated food truck parking spaces downtown and maybe in the parking lots of some parks. I've seen it in other cities, but I don't know if they've been successful long-term. I do know that the food truck operators were happy to have them, as the spots are assigned and rotated so that it's not like a Mad Max situation, like it is with Houston's tow trucks.

    I received this message from Cityliving this morning, and asked me to share it:

    It's an interesting question. I can't speak for the specific roles you mention, but I do know that HPD does have a number of civilian employees who work behind the scenes. I'm friends with one of them, and while we don't talk about his work as much as we used to, my impression is that there are quite a few non-officers who do the administrative work.

    There's no need to ban him from posting, as he hasn't posted anything since February. He's self-censoring.

    I saw tags on it a couple of weeks ago about nobody being available for a city inspection. The stop work order seems much more serious.

    A few points: Cityliving is within his rights to delete his images. They're his. Yes, it harms the community, but the law doesn't recognize harm to HAIF. It does recognize copyright infringement. Yes, it is possible for a photographer to get money out of an organization for infringement. I've paid the rent a number of times that way. You just have to know how to do it. Complaining on social media is no different than going into your closet and shouting at your shoes. Cityliving doesn't have "constant" deletions. He hasn't posted anything since February. His black boxes will be memories soon enough, as the threads move on. I'll let the moderators know they can remove the images if they come across them. But there's over half-a-million posts on HAIF, so a dragnet is not reasonable.

    I once worked for a company that relocated its office so that the owner could walk to work. The memo stated it was "greener" that way. Sure, for him. He moved the office from a location which was two blocks from a passenger rail line that most of the other 30-something employees used. Just one way that was a shitty company.

    Does the city have an ordinance and/or design rules for official neighborhood gateways? I'd like to see Montrose Boulevard look more like Heights Boulevard. The problem is that it's a major traffic corridor.

    Very nerdy. I approve. I guess using TMC³ on a sign is cheaper than using "TMC TMC TMC."

    I'm always curious about how buildings are named. Nothing came up in my dictionaries for "Rone," so I tried the Wikimopedia: Rone is the nom de plume of Tyrone Wright, a street artist. Rone may also refer to: Rone (musician), French music producer and artist, born Erwan Castex Rone, Gotland, a settlement in Sweden 8680 Rone, a main-belt asteroid Rone, a Scottish word for a gutter downpipe Since we're Space City, let's go with the asteroid.
