I find this man's signature phrase terribly annoying. "I'm Ed MAYberry. Houston Public Radio BIZness news.

Thanks for the links & quote! I wonder what the deal is with the girl they arrested.

Where did you get the information that the victim was an illegal immigrant? Ther's no mention of immigration status in the KPRC coverage linked above. Here's the Chronicle's coverage of the incident -- no mention there of anyone's immigration status: http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/front/3948940.html http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/metrop...an/3948935.html http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/front/3945217.html One of the above articles states that the boy's father "is in El Salvador," not that he was deported there. Care to explain how you know that the victim's father was deported, and that the victim was in the US illegally? One of the Chronicle articles includes some interviews of current Lamar HS students. It doesn't indicate that gangs are a big problem on the school's campus. But I would expect the school's administration to be even more strict after this terrible incident.

Hello! I have lurked here a little bit and thought I would ask a question of you knowing souls. Almost by accident I made a big gain in a real estate investment in the Montrose area when I sold it to a developer about a year ago. He told me that the Heights were going be the next big area for development inside the loop. So I have this capital from the house I sold in the Montrose and am looking to put in in real estate again. Houston is going to keep growing, right? The prices in the Heights seem pretty good, and I can imagine making a decent profit in a few years once the development in the area starts to boom. But then I started reading about these groups of socialists in the Heights opposing new building. That could really limit my upside. So do you think there going to be successfull or will progress continue unabaded? I would really like to repeat my success in real estate investing (obviously) . Thanks!
