    I was lucky enough to live next to Freedmen's Town (Freedmenstown?) before it was bulldozed and became Townhouse Central. No, it wasn't a great place. It was ugly and dirty and run down and frankly a little scary, even to someone my size. But I'm a big believer in preserving history, and a lot of early Houston history was lost in that place. I recently found out about a project to preserve and spread a little bit of Freedmen's Town's legacy: Freedman Plantlets They're cuttings taken from one of the last remaining plants in Freedmen's Town before it was scraped clean. People are signing up for pieces which they plant in their yards and help cultivate a little history. I don't know how much they cost, but I know sevfiv has one. Maybe she'll fill in the details.

    Actually, the news anchors often can't just get up and walk around. They're tethered to the desk by their microphone and IFB wires. Sometimes the wired pair is the primary, and there's a wireless set for backup, or the other way around. It's up to the station engineers. Weathermen always have wirelesses and can go wherever they want. More than once I've had a Houston weather anchor not turn off his wireless mic and I got to listen to him take care of his business. One guy was like clockwork. I always knew when it was 6:20 by the sound that would echo through my headset.

    Does anyone on HAIF work in, or regularly visit 1001 McKinney? I'm trying to find out how many floors it has. I've seen both 22 and 24. It would be nice to hear from someone who can actually go into an elevator and look at the buttons (and note if there's a 13 or not).

    I've flown both Air Tran and Southwest. Southwest was better inside the plane, but AirTran was better boarding. I don't like the cattle call. Very dehumanizing. That said, I haven't flown either in a couple of years. Southwest because its fares are often more expensive than American for the routes I tend to fly, and AirTran because it's cut its route network back a lot lately and doesn't go anywhere I want to go anymore. An interesting piece of trivia -- AirTran is headquartered in Indianapolis. But it doesn't fly there. The nearest airport it serves is four hours away in Chicago.

    METRO Begins Roadwork On East End Light Rail Line Today Demolition of pavement will smooth way for installation of light rail tracks METRO construction crews are blasting through old asphalt and concrete on Harrisburg, just east of Oakhurst, on Houston’s East End today. While utility work along the corridor has been ongoing since June of 2008, this is a milestone in the preparation of 3.3 miles of surface to carry light rail from Downtown to the Magnolia Transit Center – with a goal of connecting communities. David Couch, Managing Director of METRO Solutions, who is supervising construction of three light rail extensions that will connect to the existing 7.5- mile downtown Red Line, said, “This is great news. Our engineers, crews, and staff have been working hard with the community and the city to make this happen. It is, literally, where the rail will meet the road and a milestone in the overall construction process.” The work involves excavation and soil preparation for new pavement. This roadway will replace existing travel lanes and accommodate a guideway for the new light rail line. The work will continue, in segmented phases, as part of a continuing build out process. The East End Line is expected to be completed in late Fall of 2013. The transit line is funded locally and rail cars will connect riders with destinations such as Magnolia Transit Center, Eastwood Park and Ripley House. Ridership is expected to be about 8,500 by the year 2015.

As we know, only one got built -- the Burj Dubai. This new proposal looks like it has some legs. Respectable architects have been hired to design the thing. And it's not just riding a real estate wave. Unfortunately, it's in one of the most tourist-hostile countries in the world, so few outsiders will see it. Fortunately, because of Houston's place in the energy industry, a lot of Houstonians will get to see it.
