Be sure of one thing, if you get a ticket in a handicap parking spot, note whether or not there is a sign posted. Texas state law requires a regulation blue handicap sign (no homemade signs) be posted directly in front of the space no lower than 3 ft and no higher than 8 ft. If it's not posted fight the ticket. signs painted on the ground in the space DO NOT COUNT.

This is good to know because I got a ticket for parking downtown in a handicap spot last week. There were three head in parking spots and I parked in the far right spot. The center spot has a handicap sign up, but the place where I parked was just striped. I just didn't see the stripes because it was striped with dull gray brick and it was around 9:00pm.

I took a picture and it clearly shows the sign is in the middle parking spot. I guess it's time to fight. However the ticket does say parked in a stiped area.

I checked it last night and it's a nice bar. I would even consider bringing a date there. The patio won't be ready until March, but there is still plenty of room. The owner of the bar is very friendly and she has a nice music list on the jukebox.

It had a couple of options pending it one point.

It's a forclosure. It's as-is and they will not turn on any power, you must get the house inspected before you make an offer too. The house sits directly on Studewood.

But the house looks to be in good condition.

Apparently this happened IN the bar. They are still looking for the suspects.

The friends left the table and Lopez got into a brief struggle with a group of men, witnesses said. When patrons at nearby tables complained, the group of men left the club and Lopez remained at the table.

As Lopez's friends returned moments later, Lopez fell to the floor and people realized he'd been injured, police said.

Thanks for the replys. I was looking at a house around Cullen and Dallas St (more like Sydney & Dallas). This particular house was on a good block (Dallas). All of the houses seemed to be in good shape, but there were a lot of cars parked on the street. I guess that's better than cars parked on lawns.

I thought this area was Eastwood until someone told me otherwise. The streets look the same and the houses look the same. Can anyone tell me any other information about this neighborhood? Is the area relatively safe?

I hope they find my wallet. It's the on the says Bad Mother Fu****

I stopped by last Friday and they said haven't had an official opening yet. It wasn't crowded and yes, the skyline view is great.

The place will be good as long as they don't start with the shiny shirt dress code. I hope they keep it casual, at least for the upstairs area.

Right next to the RR tracks, but it's also a couple of blocks away from one the the proposed Metro Harrisburg stops.

I appreciate the input. I guess the only exception would be if I were to buy a new house or townhome from a builder, but that won't be the case.

I can find everything I am interested in on har.com. Or let

Why did they change it?

I've often wondered why they all turn red at the same time.

They 1st did this because of all the construction that was going on, and because of the train. Along the East / West streets that cross Main Street affects the train. Right now the train has signal priority, meaning that the cross streets will serve the train as soon as they can

TRAFFIC SIGNAL CHANGES!

Beginning Saturday, November 17, downtown's traffic signals will switch from simultaneous green to progressive green (domino effect rather than all at once).

The goal is to reduce stops which should reduce travel times, emissions and fuel consumption.

City engineers will be watching traffic closely to evalute the new plan and make adjustments as necessary.

Yep, Red Door shiney shirt crowd. I'm staying away and going to the local dive bar.

I heard the made $42K is alcohol sales one Saturday.

Blow it up with the Montagu

I had an option pending on this house for $165K and we were in the negotiation phase, but that was until I saw the inspection report. This house needs MAJOR roof and foundation repairs (roof leaking in the attic), along with some other important repairs.

I then offered $154K, or he could to repair some stuff and we could work on the numbers...he said no. Don't get me wrong, the house is beautifull inside and looks great cosmetically, but someone is going to have to spend at least another $20K to get this house structually sound.

She would probably have better look with a two bedroom.

Make sure you get some mussels at Cafe Montrose. They are some of the best in Houston.

I may stop by soon...that is if the douchebag crowd at Red Door doesn't show.

It was my understanding that rail would not run from UH to the Eastwood Transit Center because it would cost another $60 million. They will use a bus service between instead.
