Idylweird

don't know about all but the ones near mason park and near the golf course have a layer of dirt after the bayou goes down from a rain. the ones by the golf course tend to be the worst as inches of mud can be deposited on the trail.

That was less of a problem pre-Ike.

I sure miss Local Charm.

I may not be the smartest guy around but I've run the Bayou (Brays - Behind the Gus Wortham Golf Course), Harrisburg and Sunset trails end to end. I'd love to see the Bayou trail connect with the Brays Bayou trail at MacGregor Park which runs to Hermann Park and all the way out to West Houston. I think there are plans to connect all the city parks, but who knows when?

How about the Ranch House, a barbecue joint on Telephone Rd. adjacent to Hobby Airport? I was too young to really get a read on the food, but I remember it as being a big place lots of Old West decor.

Anybody know what happened to the big tenty things on the HEB?

I remember a Roy Rogers by Gulfgate Mall close to Woodridge.

It's a taqueria now:

The space that has been leased in the new retail building at Gulfgate will be a Payless Shoes. Their paperwork is posted in the window. Ho-hum.
