I believe it is right around Main and Prarie. The will be showing it on the building next to Slainte.

Check out the Midtown area - Woodrows, Wet Spot, Pub Fiction. Lolas in the Motrose area is cheap.

This series is really killing me both in the pocket book and the liver. I have to pick a bar every game and watch. I think I wore out my good luck karma at Little Woodrows in Midtown. I need to find another spot. Maybe we have a curse too. A sports writer said we may have the curse of the astroturf, or maybe the curse of building the 1st roofed stadium.

My friend is Canadian and knows the owner of this bar. He said it will mainly be a Canuck bar showing all hockey games and Canadian football. I'm sure they will telivise American events too. I think this is a great idea, just like some of the British pubs around here.

94.5 is OK, but I hate their newest phrase "The Killer B's". Why are they the killer B's, what the hell did they do? It least say "we support the killer B's"

Dean and Rog are the only ones worth a damn. Maria Todd is a cakling idoit, Sam Malone is just a dumb ass with one catch line, and Walter and Johnson suck because they have nothing original to talk about. I am a continuous channel changer on the radio and I always find mayself back to Dean and Rog. By the way, I head Nirvana on 96.5 the other day. I guess they are trying to reach out to the younger group. I think it is time for satalite radio for me, but the only problem is I am not in the car long enough to listen to the radio.

Can you recomend a good taco stand around the downtown area?

I could give a rats ass what some 21 year old thinks. I am willing to bet this is the first time she has even visited anywhere other than her home state, and probably has not visited outside the city of Austin.

This would be in the Galleria area.

I was at the Texans game when they were down over 14 points with 5 minutes left in the game. Titans were 1st and goal on the 5 yard line and then you hear "Let's Go Astros". It was great, at least we had something to cheer for. I wound up watching the end of the Astros game at a tailgate party.

Too bad - I thought the Blue Angels were always flying here. I know they were flying at Elington a few years back.

Come on, like Miami isn't a high revenue team? They are not like NY, Dallas, and some others but that city does pretty well with revenue too. I'm sure McNair isn't the "only" owner they have a problem with, but I guess he is the only owner bidding for a Superbowl other than Miami that has good revenue. I don't know what McNair did - but it must have pissed a lot of people off.

Miami got the Superbowl again and I think it is bullshit. http://www.chron.com/cs/CDA/ssistory.mpl/sports/3384856

Interesting hardly anyone has the Braves winning. Hopefully all of their rookies choke against our pitching, and starting right now I am one of the Padres biggest fans.

I agree about the back-toback National League Wildcard Champs thing. Who cares - they didn't win a division and shouldn't be celebrating like they won the pennant. But LET'S GO STROS!!!!

I've had a few issues at The Hogg, but I guess that is what you get when you live in an old building.

The evacuation car of choice - From a Houston Chronicle Blog "My wife and I were part of the horde of people who left town last Thursday to avoid Hurricane Rita. Driving a Toyota Prius hybrid car, we made about 45 miles in nine hours time before turning back. During that time we consumed less than two gallons of gasoline, all the time in the comfort of an air conditioned car. I can't say too much for the Prius as the ideal evacuation car." Another: "FYI, Renee and I finally got to Palestine, TX at about 5:45 AM -- 30 hours after leaving our house in Clear Lake. The Prius still has about 1/4 tank of gas..."

I know for a fact my place would have been safe. But I didn't know what the situation downtown would be after the storm. Could I leave downtown if I had to? Would the infrastucure be torn up? Could the flooding be so bad downtown it would be like an island ie.Alison storm. Then I have mom calling me telling me to leave and knowing she will be worried sick about me. Once they stated the hurricane would drop to a Cat 3 I decided to stay for good.

[quote name= I mainly paid attention to the more newsworthy items--e.g. the National Weather Center updates and the awful and tragic explosion of the bus and the latest event of the dam in Livingston. True, but I didn't need to hear about the bus accident for 3 hours stright, and I didn't need a traffic report all day.

I stated on another thread that I was interviewed by a San Antonio reporter. We were we on the patio of La Carafe's Friday night. It was around 7:00pm and downtown was dead, she was wondering what was going at this place and thought it was finally something new to talk about. We didn't leave the bar until 2:00am Friday night. The highlight of the evening was when a chair was blown over and everyone cheered. I agree with you BayouGirl, but I don't think you should get upset with the other responses and the opinions of others.

Two bars were open downtoen Friday night - Warrens and La Carafe. We sat on the patio at La Carafe until 2:00am. I got interviewed from a San Anotonio reporter because she noticed all of downtown was dead and saw us and a few others drinkining, she thought it was a good story. I told her the media needed to settle down a bit because I was sick of seeing reports about trafic all day (nothing had changed so why keep repeating yourself all day). They had 24 hour coverage since Wednesday. I talked with the owner of Warrens when the storm was a cat5 and she said she was going to keep the place open no matter what. It's a safe building and she woudn't have anything to worry about other than flooding.

I live 2 blocks from the Chase Tower. This is typical news media blowing things out of proportion. It was the smaller Chase building that had windows blown out (around 10), The skyscraper only had 1 window blown out.

I remember hurricane Alicia's eye went directly over I-45.

I watched tonight for about 10 minutes until I HEARD THE SAME DAMN QUESTION FOR THE NEXT 30 MINUTES. "Should I leave the area - I live in..... This has been discussed over and over and over again. The answer is the same as it was 6 hours ago.
