Oops sorry I meant Howard Stern. even after I read that and edited my misspelled words. shoot the Google spellcheck changed that automatically I did not noticed that

I was here for the fire. the elevators did not work before the fire very well and after the fire they started to break down more often. at this time they have not had one of the elevators working for 2 months now. the 16th floor was redone but the sheet-rock was just recovered by sheet-rock. that floor is the only floor in the building that has two layers of the stuff. there is a lobby and a door man that sits at a desk not at the door thusly making security an issue in the building. recently all the tires were stolen off a Chrysler 300. this place is far from fancy you are allowed to paint the walls and take out any walls you want redecorate how you want. I know of some people recently tearing down walls to make there kitchens feel open to the living space. however I don't think he asked the management team for permission. it looks better the way he has it we both have the same apartment. it is a nice place to live if your life is in transition and this is all you can afford. some women has been in the building since it opened. I just can't imagine me waisting my money on an apartment for that long

Phase three is making as many babies as possible, Oh wait that was step 2.00001 on the way to phase 3. No phase three is Constitutional amendment making Spanish the official language of the U.S. Talk Radio and Spanish speaking formats is the way because that is who is listening and are in the majority. Radio has gone to the Spanish speaker because most Hispanic/Latino families are poor and cant afford to buy and additional service like XM or Sirius. Plus most listeners are only Spanish speakers and not bilingual. I used to participate in a marketing survey for radio stations. they would play sons for me and I would rate them. I would always rate the songs I really hated very high so they could get played and inevitable they would get played a lot more then before I took the phone survey OK I will comment On the actual topic too I did not like R&R for many of the same reasons already stated. However I have never liked Malone. That guy sounds like he looks ugly. His face is perfect for radio. Malone makes Howard Stone show sound like quality radio, and the sad thing is that both R&R, Sam Malone and many others try very hard to emulate Howards format.

Crazy is right I was trying to sleep but the cars honking did not stop until after 3am. I am just glad the watch party was not too large. Go Stros!

geeeezzzzzus!

what would be cooler is if some would build and on demand system that works like elevators you could stand at a station and press the button and the tram would arrive at your location you press the button for the location you want and if no gets on you will go directly to your location. it would work in any location too small to have multiple rail lines but too spread out to be walkable like the energy corridor and the park ten galleria or any edge city location all could be joined by light rail an/or subway, or commuter rail

How do you purpose to to make the entire city walkable? Remember the city expands over 600 sq miles. Houston needs to establish several "livable villages." Where they can be reached and linked by rail and once you get there you can access every thing by walking. Houston already has several edge cities and other neighborhoods were this can be done: Downtown Galleria Greenway Plaza Rice Village The Medical Center Greens Point Energy Corridor Memorial City/ Town and Country WestChase Gulfgate Meyerland Midtown Montrose Heights

North of downtown between the UH Downtown campus parking lot off of Main St and the Bayou

So Red did you paint that yourself? I don't recognize the painting much less the artist . WHO did it and what is it called? Red what do you think is this project on track to get built or delayed indefinitely. I for one think that it is on track, but it may get delayed you are right there are a ton of factors that a company needs to consider before things of this size get built. As Red said earlier houston's office market is at 20 vacancy. y'all cant forget a that a portion of the Pavilion's has offices designed into the project and perhaps this may have delayed project if they decided to make any changes

^^^^^ that is the way to show them whats what KinkaidAlum. At one point in this tread it was said that the groundbreaking would be this fall or early part of 2006. I have a feeling that it may be next summer before we See any action on the three lots. that is if the developer does not back out yes the ball is in the hand of the people who are building this perhaps there are finalising financial baking or waiting to close all the little details. I for one cant wait! I would hope that developers would wise up and start more mid rise projects priced similar to maiden priced homes out in the suburbs. not every one can afford to live a 1milion plus apartment for that matter a lot of people cant afford to to pay 300,000 for a condo in a mid rise.

I thought everyone can edit their own post. I thought. I also installed Google toolbar on my Mozilla FireFox browser it has a spell check. There are two options a quick edit and a full edit. I use either one.

Sorry my cat was on the space bar on an earlier post. then I hit enter Opps. I could have edited that but I said to hell with it. I

Page eleven (11) I wish I had something relevant to say

THIS JUST IN. EVERY PROJECT GOING UP IN HOUSTON AT THIS TIME HAS BEEN CANCELLED.

I think AWACS is an alarmist who likes to send out bad news even if it is not true

Why are you saying that? What are you basing that assumption on? This has to be a joke....

What is a troll? is that someone on here only to promote their progects? I am confused.

I think Houston is in a transitional phase not in it maturity stage of planed mobility. In order for any city to work well commerce must flow and that means transportation needs to flow. Because people want to live in homes out of the city this mean that they will drive in and some other chose to live in town. and this means that they need to go to work as well. before I write you a book on my thoughts about this. Let me just say Houston as a city will continue to work because it will have to develop well with sprawl. you can not have an Urban core without having a suburban plan for transportation, community development, management and so on the fact that streets are wide has to do with Houston's original plan. When Houston's founding "brothers" came from New York to develop Houston. the downtown grid was drawn then and has not changed too much since then. there have been several projects downtown that have focused on developing ground level or street level aesthetically pleasing elements like fountains. street lamps, sculptures, intricate details that depict the history of the city and I can keep going on for a while here. However I won't. the name of the project was: Metropolitan Transportation Plan (or was it: Beautification Project) What ever it was these issues have been address. [With this project the city of Houston Narrowed portions of some streets (Preston, Congress, Franklin and Commerce just to name a few) Preston even curves to and fro in front of the county records office and before it crosses main st] But they are not the end-all-project that will correct everything. they were merely steps in the improvement of downtown I love my SUV too Coog. However I could only afford a Kia Serento Even without zoning the city of Houston looks much like any other city in the US. Now, there are plenty of exceptions but the good majority of Americans land scape looks like Houston. the city develops were developers see it fit (profitable). and most of the time through a little research the customers determent < us you and everyone else influence were things get built because developers follow the money

Well I am 30 today. I don't really want to be 70 by the time Houston Transit system is in its maturity stages.

probably just another strip mall

Memorial-Hermann Katy Hospital is off the I-10 west toward Katy pass the 99

Manhattan > New York City > Long Island this is a perfect example how sprawl works well with a cities urban core and surounding land.

I completely agree with you. "Every major urban center has mass spraw attached to unless geography or markets forces dictate something different" Like Manhattan Island

^^^^ that quote is from 2004 a little late with that comback Huh? No just joking I see you recently joined. Welcome! Anyhow, one can get used to any kind of nose that is near ones home. And you begin to miss the noise after you move away Ahhhh! I miss Marin Corp boot camp in San Diego. The airport landing strip is right next to the barrcks on that base.

You must like that place b/c that is the second time you mentioned it on two differnet topics. just an observation. I really like that place too! I am there just about every weekend when the movies being realeased at the time are good!
