I thought this was a little funny: Here is a picture of a happy Wal-mart employee: This picture is just sick: Dang look at this guy: This was proposed at there last employee meeting as the official uniform but was shot down:

Does it say why?

Yes and the Amtrak Station will be moved to the proposed location for the Intermodal Center

Obviously You did not read my whole comment. I do remember saying: "And no I don't want Houston to look like any other city or follow their example. I want Houston to have a strong vibrant city core"

I just think that it is embarrassing that San Antonio has a better downtown than Houston as far as lively vibe goes Heck I have not mentioned Austins' downtown night life thank God they don't have a mall like this in the works

so far the renderings I have seen look like you can only do that from main st, but not on the the sides streets. that is very much like Horton plaza, but that is not my point at all. I am saying that smaller cities have already built projects like this. Houston is behind the bell curve. And no I don't want Houston to look like any other city or follow their example. I want Houston to have a strong vibrant city core

I wish I could have said all that the same way I totally agree It is sad to that Houston being such a large city that it is does not have something like this in it downtown. Heck even Horton Plaza in San Diego invokes this wonderful city vive Here is a picture and great example of another city that is smaller then Houston and has a vibrant city central mall it is a view from of the Riverwalk from the Rivercenter Mall in downtown San Antonio

How about a subway down both Richmond street and Westheimer?

Yes that is the one the paper was talking about. central square is not being developed but the building on corner of Gray and Milam will be developed soon and that is what this topic is about. Does anyone know anything about it?

You are such a downer houstonsemipro give us clueless look and everything is OK and canceled

this what I think about this new development restaurant TED place what ever it is Ppppppppppppppp!

It would be cool if channel 51 or 55 the tube could become a super-station I kn ow hardly anyone watches them but heck if they had some money and bought better programs an/or produces less then 15 hours of original content they could be a super-station especially the Tube I do occasionally watch Leave It To Beaver it comes on the Tube some time around MIDday

is there a nude beach off the Texas coast that is not near High Island and Galveston? Is there a nude beach near Bay City? Mustang Island? Somewhere that can be reached without a 4x4?

regarding Winners. I always liked getting lost between the clothing racks. I think even back then I was too embarrassed to be seen at such a low cost store even though it was all my family could afford at the time

Here is an Idea why don't one of us on here call the company and ask if this project is on track?

good point texasboy, but I think their grips are rooted in the fact that Virgin is mostly a top 40 record store. [this current discussion reminds me of the movie High Fidelity with John Cusack and Jack Black. the characters in it were record sales people who were avid music listeners and were happy being the pompous elitist who held the gate key to modern music history.] However, if a Virgin record store cant attract repeat business then what good is it that it is at this development. I mean I have been to one of these stores and always thought cool I could find any thing here. But after my initial visit I did see a reason to go back. Virgin Record Stores may want to revamp their format and this a topic that could get started altogether on a different thread. I have a few Ideas but will keep them to myself at this time.

that starbucks will be about two block west of this one on Gray st

*eelimon hisses in anger* your no fan i cant wait for spring time again and opening day at the ballpark Way to go Astros! Thank you for an amazing season

I think yes this area is in a down turn and has been since the early 80's but the area is long over due for a renewal and revitalization. I know a few gay people who moved into that area b/c they were priced out of the Montrose and the heights. But the fact it that the area needs good community leadership and a will from the people who are willing to remodel homes. The fact that gay people are moving to the area, in my opinion, will help the area in the long run b/c they are know for revitalizing neighborhoods, because they have a larger disposable income.

Bryan college station won't be considered part of the Houston metro area for a long time I think the town of Navasota will see a plan community knocking at tit city limits door long before that will happen to B/CS. Besides Navasota sounds better then Bryan-College Station. I am sure I could market Navasota as a small town American with wholesome good family values. And I think at that point Houston will decide to limit sprawl and never reach the city limits of B/CS. *eelimon smiles and makes the following sound hehehehehehehehe* Seriously though there is a lot of land between Houston and B/CS. Sprawl will do its bad job sooner or later and you and I am all who post on here will be old before B/CS is considered part of Houston

Citykid09 what about projects like Hardy Rail Yard Mixed use development what do you think about this? http://img185.echo.cx/img185/8975/aa38lh.jpg http://img185.echo.cx/img185/2189/aa228yr.jpg

Google needs a grammar check in addition to its spell check So what is the word on Hispanics; were they allowed to live in River Oaks? Or were they just allowed to live on the East End and Spring Branch and The Heights? What neighborhood in Houston is considered to be exclusively for the rich Hispanic folk?

still have not read it I will now

so is this going to be in the HCCS at central campus?
