    Is the house this one on Glen Forest?

    Only if you are talking chicken fried steak!

    Red Lobster I could live without. Upscale Japanese, I'm afraid we will be going downtown or midtown for that (its not that far anyway), as for Italian, old George's on Park Place isn't bad. Certainly not upscale, but decent food. PF Chang's, ehhh, just another chain, who needs it with 888 there. As for upscale steak places, how is Bonnie's or whatever it is called across the freeway? I have never been there so I don't know. It looks nice on the outside.

    A ladies shoe line carried by Pay-Less. Very cheap basically. Back when I was in the apartment business they were the leasing agents friend. Many would start out wearing their good shoes until they ended up having to show in the rain, or sludging through a water logged sidewalk. Most learned to keep their good shoes at home and stocked up on the good old Highlights for work.

    There is a good archive picture here. What a loss...

    Do you really need 2500 sq ft? This may be where you might need to make your compromise, if you can and still be happy with the choice. You could get the location etc in Idylwood, but not the size. You might try Meadowcreek Village, over off of Allendale and Monroe. There are some nice sections in there with some sizeable homes in that price range. Have you thought about going a little to the southwest of the med center into Post Oak Manor, Willowbrook & Westbury? These are not the new-style homes with the high ceilings, open floorplans, etc. But when "moving in" these are the sort of compromises you have to be prepared to make unless you have a ton of money to spend.

    I've been in that one. The carport has been taken in, interior walls removed, but originally it was the same floorplan.

    I've been in that house and always thought it held enormous potential. Spaceage thought it might have been a Floyd Design. Despite its modest size, it really could be an impressive house. It is encouraging to see more of these get into the hands of people that know what to do with them.

    At a community meeting tonight in Glenbrook, it was brought up by one of Carol Alvarado's assistants that there is a move afoot to take out the golf course at Gus Wortham and replace it with a soccer field. Has anybody else heard about this? I think that would be a terrible move for the area.

    I asked Ben Koush about the house, he was not familiar with it. I have also asked the Listing Agent for verification on the Architect. I don't know if the original plans are in it or not. I will let everyone know what I find out.

    Back in September, I bitched on this forum about the old Dinner Bell cafeteria padding my bill. I ended up going back, and once again, they padded the bill. I would ve very careful if you go there and use a debit or credit card.

    I just read that part, it is sort of confusing.
  13. rps324
    Does anybody know the background on this house? How do we know it's a Harwood Taylor btw? Is there some archives or something on it?
  14. rps324
    That's good news. I have been in that one & it was a good one.
  15. rps324
    I don't remember all the good brick award winners, but are you sure this was one of them? I know there was the house off Memorial and Jason & Vanessa's William Jenkin's design on Willowisp that were winners for 2007. I didn't remember there being a third mod house.

    She has two daughters, I want to say one is named Suzanne, I don't know the other one's name.

    My house on Glencrest is supposedly next door to Paul Boesch's old house. The lady that has lived across the street since '68 told me it was his old house. Did you know the Provenzano's next door? I bought the house from Ruth Provenzano who moved to Meyerland to be closer to her daughter. The Boesch house, or so I am told, is the one on the corner of Glencrest and Glenview.

    I will be there!

    Possibly the "OP" Old Plantation?

    Barnaby's (3 locations in the greater Montrose area) Brown Bag Deli (also owned by Barnaby's, really good sandwiches cheap) Most chinese food places for lunch. Teotijuacan (3 locations, one on Bellfort near Fondren) Java-Java (11th st. Heights) Buffalo Grill (2 locations) Amazon Grill Paulie's (2 locations, moderate but not dirt cheap) Kelly's (2 locations, one near Hobby) Frank's Grill (3 locations, Telephone Rd, by NW Mall & on Clinton) Tel-Wink (Telephone & Winkler) Dot Diner - Gulfgate Dinner Bell Cafeteria (Wayside & Lawndale) Cafe Express (numerous locations) Baba Yega's (Pacific & Grant) Niko Niko's (Montrose) This is it Soul Food (W. Gray) Some of these are better than others, some are cheaper than others, but its a good start.

    The prices (maint fee aside) seem quite reasonable for that building. At one time there was an issue that the building sat on land that was leased for 100 years. I think it was built in 1911 so the lease on the land was set to expire. I had heard it was renegotiated or somehow resolved, but that would be one thing I would investigate.

    Yes, but it could use some scrubbing. I am a big fan of "comfort food" like they served at the Pig, but the lack of cleanliness there kind of kept me from going very often.

    The Beaconsfield on main were built as either condos or apartments originally. That round hi-rise is really nice on Woodway. Executive house, not to be confused with the old Executive house on Alabaman. It has this Japanese style garden in the back with these ponds, and a section of flat roof mod guests houses that look straight out of Palm Springs. It is a really interesting building.
