  1. Does anyone really think Disney would build here? I want some pros AND cons.
  2. That was an eye catcher. What was the Hub anyway?
  3. I think it all depends on the situation. I feel very uneasy driving down Richmond after 10pm on hte weekends. I also feel nervous walking 10 blocks back to my car at 2am downtown. I need a taser
  4. Downtown might be the safest residential neighborhood in the city. This could be that all the residential is interior condo units with privately secured parking garages & entrances. I don't however doubt that its still a dangerous place at night on the street. (I'm going to HPD.com now to find out..) EDIT: Good God.. It would take hours to compare data by neighborhood the way they have it setup. Good Luck to some other sucker that wants to sift through that pile of..
  5. I know this is coming in a little late seeing as its being reported that the diner is closed, but.. I went with some co-workers about 2 months ago. It was packed, but I don't think that it was from people coming back for the food - I think its from the same people that had been there for at least an hour and still waiting on their food. We took a chance (3 of us) and ate there. Our waiter was a sheepish younger fella that seemed unsure how to take a drink order. We finally got drinks after flagging him down and telling him to go get us some drinks. We knew to order when he came back with the drinks, so we did. 2 burger plates & a club sandwich. I had the club. about 20 minutes later I got my plate. I waited a full 10 minutes before eating, and then only after having to flag down the waiter to ask him where the burgers were. This was our conversation: Me: Hey, what's the status on those 2 burger plates? Him: Oh.. umm, they're good. Me: What? What do you mean good? Did you eat them? Him: (smiling unsurely) Ummm.. no. Me: Well, how long - we've been waiting 30 minutes now. And why did you bring my meal 10 minutes ago if the other two weren't ready. Him: (sheepishly now) Ummm, I don't know. You'd have to ask the chef. (he then points towards the order-up counter) Me: Ummm. No (mimicking Bill Lumberg - to all you that know ) YOU go ask the chef how much longer for those burgers. Him: ok. 5 minutes later he came out with the burgers. I watched him the whole time and he never spoke with the chef for more than a second through the order-up counter, so I was fairly confident he didn't yell & delicate flower about us and ask the chef to give us any "special sauce". We were more in shock that he answered my question of the status of the burgers with" Ummm.. they're good." I mean - WTF?? Overall - the food was average of maybe a Denny's or IHOP. The service? Sheesh.. No wonder they closed.
  6. I hate to see more sprawl with a giant park facility out towards Katy (I'd imagine somewhere around the US99 area?). The same for the Woodlands, Kingwood/Humble, or Sugarland/Rosenberg area. I could only see another park in that void area along US288 between I610 & BW8. It would still be inside the belt - and you know that this area is going to end up as housing anyway. This brings up the subject however, of who should build?
