Frank Black Middle School At 1575 Chantilly Ln.
lilyheights replied to Techman1's topic in The Heights
Parochial schools tend to be less expensive than other private school options. I would suggest doing tours of your private school options. Like someone said, spots open up in even hard-to-get-into schools. Good luck, and welcome to the neighborhood!- 15 replies

The Heights Restaurant And Bar Scene - More Coming
lilyheights replied to Freelander's topic in The Heights
1. Loredo. My fav is Loredo Taqueria; we go there regularly. They have good huevos rancheros and bfast tacos. Coffee is only so-so, but it gets the job done. 2. El Rey. Damn good coffee -- if I could have Loredo's food and El Rey's coffee brought to the same table, I'd be happy. I was loyal only to El Rey for a long time, but I've switched bfast taco allegiance to Loredo. Still eat El Rey -- Loredo is just better in some small, but significant ways. 3. Yale Diner. They fit the hashbrown, bacon, eggs bill from time to time. -

I think UH Library special collections has some of the actual catalogs. I remember seeing them on display in the library about 15 years ago. I do not think they were on loan. ...pretty neat stuff.

The Heights Restaurant And Bar Scene - More Coming
lilyheights replied to Freelander's topic in The Heights
The shack looked like a booth for a fair or something. The Pappa's HQ is across the street...they were prob. doing something on there other piece o' property. I learned they are moving their HQs out of the Heights to somewhere on 290. Wonder if they'll keep ownership of the Heights properties? -
Third Coast Seafood At 2412 Washington Ave.
lilyheights replied to houstonray's topic in The Heights
Never mentioned this before, because despite my experience I like the place and wanted to see it continue: Unfortunately, this was my case too. The occasional roach sighting I could handle...it was when one crawled all the way up to my father's collar that I wrote the place off. Still, I'm sorry to see it closing. If someone would scrub it and fumigate, I'd come back in a heartbeat. -
My husband and I also bought an offending home three and a half years ago. We plan to stay; so stability has nothing to do with the size and shape of our home either. Between us and luvtheheights, that's two objectionable-home-families that plan to stay. I think my next door neighbors plan to be in their house for quite some time. Oh, come to think of it, the lady building down the street who has had enough of NOLA and sold a perfectly flood-free house to move here, I think she's not interested in ever moving again. There are four-objectionable-home-families planning to stay for as long as possible. I understand how passion can lead one to jump to conclusions. Things just aren't always how they seem. Just a thought.

^^ I second that. That guy is such a good store owner. He's always been most helpful even with relatively musically ignorant people like me. He'll talk music and share his love for it with anyone.

You can critique anything you want to. Someone else's "vision" especially. What happens in the end is another matter, but you can always complain, critique, and express your thoughts. You can even ask the person in power for what you want and see what you get. Why do so many people in this discussion think that expressing your dislike of a concept leads directly to dictating what's done with a property? If only complaints had that much power... It is a free society. That's why everyone on here is able to express a viewpoint counter to what those in power in this situation (Weingarten) believe. I don't think it is morally wrong for me to dislike someone's ideas or vision about what they want to do to their property. Morally wrong? That's reaching.

But usually nothing will change if you don't talk about problems. Since these are the only plans out there and since they are real (whether on not they're outdated), this is what people can talk to. I don't see anything wrong with saying, "we don't want this plan." Whether it is right or wrong doesn't matter when talking about your opinion of the ideas presented in that plan. Weingarten is more than welcome to issue or provide copies of the most up-to-date plans at any time.

This story made KUHF's broadcast around 4:30 p.m. this afternoon. As for the gone and missed list, I miss the Ale House. I don't shop at those stores, but I surely had a few beers at the Ale House.

I think you've just become a broken record of a tune no one cares to hear. We all get what you're saying. Most don't agree. You're dangerously reaching troll status on this subject; far from healthy debate.

It's time has not passed. You don't get it. It doesn't show current movies. It is one of a handful of theatres that shows movies that a small, but significant, portion of the Houston population wants to see. And, it is a great venue to see these movies. What percentage of Houston goes to any one theatre? This city is sooo big, I bet any one theatre doesn't draw that high of a percentage. What percentage of people who want to see something besides Pirates go to the RO? Probably quite a lot. That argument is silly. It isn't about the facade, although it is cool. It is about a way of life. It is a difference in taste in movies. This is our thing and you don't have to like it or even understand it. I'm not going to close down the Alley b/c most people in this city have never seen a live play in their home town.

This is terrible. I think "Remember the Bellaire" is perfect. Destroyed to make a kids indoor play area that lasted five minutes... now the RO. True, the upstairs seating isn't the best for long legs, but I endured it many a time just to see a good film for a change. And, if you were on top of things, you'd catch your film when it was still downstairs. It is just sad.

We went last night, as Wendy mentioned. What fun! Whose family was it with the little boy who was so excited about being "in the *new* target?" I'm sure it was someone on here....we thought that was really cute. He'd obviously been caught up in the excitement too. I hope that the store continues to be as helpful as they were last night.

You're right Wendy. Living in Houston my whole life, I have never, ever seen or heard people get sooo excited about something. This city so rarely takes a collective interest in anything, but darn that Target store opening. Personally, I can't wait! We're actually holding off on purchases and shopping excursions so that we can do them at the new Target...I feel a little like a sap.

Shepherd Plaza: Retail Center At 1221-1261 W. 11th St.
lilyheights replied to segovia's topic in The Heights
My husband ate there last night and described the atmosphere as similar to the t.v. show, "Hell's Kitchen." I took that to mean that the staff wasn't organized properly at this point. The food, he said, was good. He said that if they can get their service working and add the missing items from the menu, it will be a great place. If you're reading this Mr. Restaurant Owner, know that we're all being patient. Try to get this together for us. -
I wonder if they grandfather in some safety and things too. If your plant is operational and then you go and build a whole new facility, do you end up incurring costs associated with meeting current regulations? Even if you could move the industrial widget assembly, it does not meet code so you have buy a new industrial widget assembly? It wouldn't surprise me if this were the case.

The Heights Restaurant And Bar Scene - More Coming
lilyheights replied to Freelander's topic in The Heights
Correct me if I'm wrong HY, but I think she's thinking French-style perhaps? Not cakes, pies, and cookies, but croissants and breads. -
I thought that was the point.

That's my point: the ads are not an accurate representation of the exhibit's look and feel...bad ad campaign or whatever, the ads turn one off. I'm glad I saw the thing w/o focusing on the ads b/c the exhibit was a valuable experience.

I saw it a couple of months ago and went to the lecture the other night. It isn't any more gross than a wax replica or the skeleton in the biology lab. It is very respectful and scientific, imo. I saw the ads after seeing the exhibit: those aren't really a good representation of the feel you get seeing the exhibit. I guess they try to be a little more sensational b/c they're ads... There was a child of 7 or 8 in the exhibit when I went. Didn't seem to be bothered and she was asking questions. Seemed like some learning was going on.

I didn't mean that whining is bad...all the civic assocs. do it from time to time b/c it works. Perhaps I should have used the word advocate or something...
