Restraunts make a place more desirable in my opinion. There are several places I would like to live but would have to sacrifice good food to do so. Don't get me wrong. I LOVE chicken fried steak, BBQ, and catfish. I just don't want to have that every time I go out. That is pretty much your only choice once you get 30 to 50 miles away from the city. Those backward liquor laws do keep good restraunts away. I'm glad to see Pearland "grow up" about this issue.

Pearland is a HUGE surprise to me. I too was born and raised in Brazoria County. I must admit I had ignored the town until about two or three years ago. About the only thing I remember about the area is the dove hunting we used to enjoy in fields that are now buried under thousands of new homes. Now I hear it will soon be what us natives used to call a "wet" town. Imagine that, being able to have a glass of wine with dinner, in Brazoria County! I guess not ALL change is bad after all.

I could fill several pages of ALL CAP ranting about our property tax system. But, I will spare innocent readers from such an excessive amount of poor grammar and misspellings and sum it up in one simple statement. I feel like I bought the right to lease from the taxing entities!!!
