  1. I go a couple times a year to watch the Astros and have always paid way less than $40 to park. But the stadium is in a very inconvenient location. I wish it was near DT so I could check a few things out when I go as it's the only reason I visit the DFW area anymore.

  2. Nine stories of parking and new groundfloor retail replacing those sketchy TOC Bar surface lots one block from my bar I want to kiss this developer on the mouth.

     

    I've been meaning to check out your bar but at the same time I'm trying to drink less. Is it casual?  Can I show up in trainers and jeans?

  3. Boo to not having one near 99; like I said before when you told me I was overreacting, this train will add no direct benefit to Cypress :/.

     

    The train goes to Dallas. Citizens of Dallas will be the only ones to truly benefit.

  4. The Panamax ships don't have to come inland through the ship channel, they all offload at Barbours Cut/Morgans Point.

    Also, being in the industry, and as someone who frequently drives 18 wheelers fully loaded with up to 70,000 lbs of crane counterweights up and down this bridge, I am in FULL support of replacing it with a wider, Fred Hartman style bridge.

    That thing is a death trap and a nightmare to drive over in a haul truck, with all the little four wheelers constantly cutting in and around you because you're going too slow. The grade is so steep I almost come to a stop trying to get to the peak.

    My worst nightmare is that one day my brakes will give, or a tranny will blow right before I hit the peak, and I will come flyin down the ramp in reverse, plowing through anything and everyone in my path.

     

    I couldn't imagine. I pulled a double axle trailer over this bridge in a pick-up truck one rainy night and thought I was surely gonna die.
