  1. Sugar Land never latched on as they probably did it best out of the suburbs and took time to develop their own brand.....they never associated with Stafford (next door) but caused Missouri City to adopt similar principals on the HWY 6 corridor

     

    Sugar land requires that "look" as you can't build a restaurant with the Houston or other area "look"...you got to have that generic look and some hate that as they say you cannot distinguish basic fast food restaurants 

     

     

     

     

  2. it is.....they don't promote it and the teams...it's light years behind what it was just 15 years ago and it was going down then

     

    they let Lamar High School cannibalize the rest of the district and take the best football talent and even then they get bounced early.......alot of other schools are just fielding teams for fun and have no need to play football....the games are beyond empty...they don't advertise their tournaments as the Jaycees Tournament has regressed from the top tourney in the city to nothing...

     

    they schedule the traditional; rival games on bad night..need I go on?

     

     

     

     

  3. it's bad now....outside of Charlie's show, which stays free from lame games, uninformed guests, etc., the rest is a waste of airwaves

     

    KCOH 1230 does the best at mixing all the topics in but you can only cram so much in the 2-hour window from 5-7.

     

    The rest of the stations just plain suck and are trying to be like each other instead of being different....everyone is on there to make a name for themselves.

  4. Didn't Harris go to college with O'Brien?  Homeboy hookup...

     

    neither of the morning shows are of interest to me...same topics...they go off the beaten path to generate jokes...when a female comes on there you can hear the slobber, need I go on?

     

    They need some serious diversity on Houston radio and not just a black voice to talk about pro sports (which the trend is now get a pro athlete with no training)...our stations do not cover local teams, colleges, high schools, etc....it's pitiful...

     

  5. white flight is the cause as no one would believe Cullen was a predominately white area at one time....blacks ended up following instead of making it their own and leaving behind folks who weren't as motivated as the first generation of families...you know its trouble when you see the suburban districts go through the same thing

     

    the key to this process is reducing white flight as it promotes, black flight, etc..

  6. or Bellaire, Westside and Lamar...or Pearland ISD as there are neighborhoods closer to Dawson off Cullen where kids are changing addresses and going there instead of Worthing, HISD, etc.

     

    ask any african american kid from those 2 schools where they live in HISD and 95% will provide you with an address zoned to another school on the south side...I've been to graduation parties in 3rd ward for kids from Bellaire..lol

     

    HISD's open enrollment has created that problem as it has drained neighborhood schools.....if they enforce the zone changes Jones is back to regular enrollment...if they make kids play sports for their zoned school alot of schools grow

    The suburbs have hurt but not as bad as FBISD's enrollment has dropped...charter schools such as KIPP and Yes smack dab next to HISD schools are the killers
