I am SO GLAD this is happening! I don't live anywhere near Memorial City Mall but occassionally I go there and when something that makes the city look more beautiful I am all for it!

I am just glad its not (as someone said "another box Store")

I mean walkways, businesses, retails, a city within a city (kinda like Bellaire) this is EXCITING!

It could have been the other way around and the area could have gone downhill. If they improve Westwood areas/Sharpstown I am all up for that too.

After all look at West Oaks mall. It WAS pathetic and more and more shoppers are going there because the mall is beautiful (even though more and more stores can't afford the rent)

We have some more upper class stores in there now. Taco Cabana is leaving West Oaks and now enters "Dairy Queen", Carlton cards is gone but here comes another "oh great" -sarcastically saying- clothes store. Kay-bee is now gone as well (I don't know what is in its place)

Look at the area around West Oaks and its developed too.

Instead of seeing something to front upon, look at the good side of it and see that it increased jobs, it makes that area even more beautiful and more places to go shop!

People around Memorial (well some people) have money and will be happy to spend it in the memorial city area.

I don't usually keep up an dI have known this too!!

We sell Krystal burgers at work. I could try one there.

Shamrock Hotel. My grandfather (who was a PR) opened up the Shamrock on opening night with all the greats of their time!!

So it kinda has special meaning to me.

"Peppermint place" I only remember an indoor carasouel!

that is REALLY REALLY REALLY nice!!! :-D

I mean I don't hear about news like this too often!

this looks like "Sim City". Go put your residence, next to your businesses and watch little houses grow.

easier question. Why are there two synagogues with the same name in this area? That's what I am more confused about.

Its to be located on Richmond (near) and Wilcrest. My question is why are there two Synagogues near the same area?

Can someone dig up some dirt for me

remember, it's CHRI$TMAS, INC. now and coprorate america want's you to get in the holiday spirit early so you can spend, spend, spend...

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

On top of that usually I can find CUTE funny hilarious HOLIDAY Cards because my friends ALL do NOT celebrate Christmas! and well Walmart/Target left me UNIMPRESSED! Even Hallmark doesn't have a big selection.

Where do I have to go for Holiday cards?

I am trying to send out gifts/cards as soon as possible so it can get to my friends on time.

I think this year I am going to Randalls for the Holiday Cards that the M.D. Anderson kids drew/painted. Much better looking and money goes to chairty.

that's okay. I'd be happy with just being in the world series.

There's always next year.

You could rub your head and pat your stomach, at the same time.

WE WON!!!! GAME 2!!!!

ONE MORE (ON TO ST.LOUIS)

WHOOHOO!!!

I'll post all the ones I got, I was in the Dug out today! It was so exciting!

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Thanks Montrose

HOW COOL!!! BTW!!

How loud was the decibal level?

also what is that rag they always swing?

We need to do something uniquely Texan going to a ball game like the Braves and their stupid chopping!

We need pix of Main Event!! POST EM IF YOU HAVE EM!!! I love showing those off to friends

Uh oh. You know what i smell.. boo boo

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

NOW we're starting to suck again! its horrible!

What did BAGWELL DO ON BASE?! He tried to steal 2nd or 3rd with Beltran already on???? WTF?!

oh man its a nightmare watching these guys! If I wanted drama I'd watch the Lifetime network! If I wanted comedy I'd turn to Comedy Central. C'mon this is the playoffs not a run of the mill game!

Go back to embarrassing us AFTER the season!

What do they care? They got money even FOR playing badly!

Let's hope for a rainout tonight.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

LOL!!!

or a rain dance and alot of prayer!!

Maybe qualls can pitch drunk at a "beer stadium" like Busch

GET CHAD QUALLS OUT OF THE GAME!!! I SWEAR HE MUST BE A BASEBALL SPY!!! (I know there's no such thing) but its irrating...

As soon as we win or start to win he plays and we lose it!!!

Ugh! its annoying!!!

OMG!!! Biggio hit a home run (2nd batter) which ran in the first batter!!! WAY TO GO!!!!!!

*CLAPS*

HOUSTON WINS!!  Astros en route to the NLCS...while the Braves pack their tommyhawks and Furcal goes to Jail.  Hahahahahahahaha!!!!

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

As the song goes, "Na na na na...na na na na....HEY HEY HEY GOOOOOODBYYYYYYYYYYYYE!!!!!

As you were saying guy who was from Atlanta/Dallas...

NA NA NA..NA NA NA...HEY HEY HEY GOOOOOOOOODBYYYYYYYYYY!!!!

(btw, my brother called a St.Louis radio station and told them he shouted out for his hometown boys the Astros and the radio station DJ talked shi* with him (back and forth playing around)

My brother had the number on redial and the DJ said "your caller #4" (my brother almost accidently WON tickets to the St.Louis/Astros game! LOL!!!!!)

NA NA NA...NA NA NA..HEY HEY HEY GOOOOOOOODBYE!!!!

Sorry guys, but the way Astros looking, the Braves will move on to the next round. Sorry.

I hate such a negative attitude out of you people! Its sickening!

I can't wait for the Braves to get their butts whooped so we can all laugh at them too (and I mean yes I know Clemmons is sick but give him a break he's ONLY human) and I heard about Ken Caminanti (sp??) passing away so that will affect the team (or make them stronger) since he had many friends on the Astro's team.

The Braves MAY be a better ballteam but in my opinion their attitude and fans attitude suck

hahahahaha  I know! 

I gotta believe Atlanta's going to win.  I'll be mad if I cant go to more playoff games (here in Atlanta), but I've been an Astros fan since I went to high school in Victoria - so at least I've got that.

The Braves win today.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

I'm still goin' for the 'Stros'. It could be worse!! We could end up like Montreal! (and go to Washington!)

Well, houston won again. They lead the series 2-1, and i forgot they played here in houston today, I thought they was back at Atlanta. Astros are on a winning streak of 19 straight games at home. The Braves going have hell to beat Astros at home. Really to tell you the truth, Atlanta don't show me nothing. They just living off the name, the BRAVES.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

I am laughing at what the Atlanta/Dallas guy said about us losing! I mean his little snide/snotty comment!

Any predictations today people?

I sayyyy that its going to be late lead Astros, Atlanta looks to grab it, Astros come from behind and a 10th inning game.

Yeh, I might have to agree with you on that one. I'm not sure about the new kid's arm yet.

Aside from some of the vets on the team, I'm not confident in some of the newer arms.

Oh WHY did that Hernandez have to slide HEAD FIRST into 2nd base?!?! WHY GOD WHY!  He COULD have been awesome! 

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

My dad screamed out, "We have no RELIEF Pitchers!!"

I know this sounds bad on a board but that wasn't very nice.

Here's the stupid thing about the braves ..that stupid Tomahawk thing they do. Yea yea we know your the "Braaaves" and you feel it does some sort of influence on your rivals.

I am SO GLAD Native Americans got mad at the Braves for doing this! Its all apart of the fun of the game but its the most irratating and stupidest thing I have seen in baseball!

"Since then their idiotic tomahawk chop and war chant have angered native Americans. (The Cleveland Indians
