  1. I like East Village, or East Houston Village.
  2. Forbes recently (two days ago) had a list for the top ten cities in the US for college graduates. The first three were: Houston, DFW, and Austin (in that order). SA didn't make the list. For having the highest college student per capita (something like that) SA needs to find a way to keep those graduates.
  3. Most of these people probably have families, too, so a lot of houses will be going up for sale in San Antonio.
  4. Aren't the plans for the Northwest and Southwest quadrants of the Katy Freeway and Beltway 8 interchange suppose to be two different retention ponds?
  5. Yeah I think so, and it has been somewhere around 40 years. A lot of people from the West Coast (mainly California) and New York that move to Texas (especially the suburbs) are making it more and more liberal.
  6. Obama 317 McCain 194 Ties 27 Texas is surprising me (well, not really since if the minorities come out and vote, Texas will go Obama).
  7. Sure does. Houston has a growing tech industry though. Gained almost 5,000 jobs last year, and is only about 50K, or so behind DFW's number of tech jobs.
  8. Some say a move to Atlanta would have been smarter for AT&T. I'm glad they are still in Texas, but have to ask why Atlanta would be better than DFW. Would be a much more expensive move, and Atlanta does not offer much more than DFW.
  9. Rumor has it that USAA (a San Antonio Fortune 500) may be moving to Phoenix, and Tesero (another Fortune 500 in San Antonio) may be bought out by an oil company in Houston (don't know which one). I hope neither really happens to SA. would be two more big blows.
  10. Would be dumb to build their own tower with DT Dallas' market conditions. Luckily for AT&T, they already have a tower Downtown (with many AT&T employees) that they are moving into. They own this: http://www.google.com/maps/ms?ie=UTF8&...ad4f623da105a34 Both from DallasMetropolis.
  11. I would say it does. There are a ton of telecommunication companies in DFW. Most in the state.
  12. I'm thinking AT&T wants to grow. They can grow in San Antonio, but DFW would be a lot easier. There is a larger talent pool there, and the metro area is three times as large. They already employ 16,600 people in DFW.
  13. http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/ap/business/5860371.html Smart move by AT&T. Its not like being in San Antonio was bad for them, but moving to a much larger metropolitan area will definitely help them. Cool for DFW. Wonder where they will locate.
  14. I'm surprised, but not really because people are heading back into the Inner City.
  15. I give it a B. I'm glad we traded away Batum. Morey is a genius.
  16. With that Texas youth rape house (basically what it is), and the girls in Ohio (I think it was Ohio), this had to come up.
  17. I'll link the one with the woman who burned herself.
  18. True, but doesn't Perry and friends want high speed rail and all that other stuff? Wouldn't the ROW needed be too wide?

    METRORail Green Line

    I'm in the comments . Some of those people amaze me though.
  20. I agree, but I think it would be a lot harder to route it over to the East side (around the Bay Area cities).
  21. Any neighborhood with "Forest" around this area is legit.
  22. Having it in Uptown, where it would stand out more, instead of Downtown will bring it more prestige and presence I think. It will stand out more.
