Andre Johnson signed an action figure of his fight with Cortland Finnegan They need to make one with Nolan Ryan and Robin Ventura.

Didn't make it there during the public viewing today, but based on the stops here in previous years I figured it was going to be a mob scene. So we went over there about 9PM tonight, when it was basically deserted except for security and a few UP workers. Barricades were up to prevent anyone from getting very close (you can't see them in the photos, but we're right up against the temporary barricades adjacent to the station).

Yes, Lambeau Field's definitely a "unicorn" in any list of stadiums. I don't think it's going anywhere any time soon.

You'd think that both Soldier Field and Arrowhead would certainly be considered "iconic and historic", even more so than the Superdome in my mind. But then I remember that being arguably the most historic stadium of them all wasn't enough to preserve Yankee Stadium, and figure that no stadium's safe when it comes to the never-ending thirst of sports franchise owners to get shiny new facilities that they can one-up their peers with (as long as they're paid for by someone else).

As a former Enron employee, I fully approve of this neologism. I'm reminded of what an old-school Enron employee told me when I first started working there - in its earlier years, the company was often referred to as "Tenron", due to the substantial number of former Tenneco employees who'd jumped ship to go work there.

Lovett to permanently move into new building by fall 2026, adjacent to twelfth college What will become of the Toaster? I suspect one of the options they are "actively considering" for it is outright demolition. If that comes to pass, that part of campus will look very different with no more Old Sid and no more Toaster.

So is Matt Lanza's Xitter, for more informal/current commentary than what shows up on SCW. Went there earlier this afternoon after seeing a fearmongering clickbait notification pop up from ABC13's app, only to find that essentially nothing had changed since earlier today.

I heard this insane rotary-powered McLaren is supposed to be at coffee and cars this week (and allegedly at Discovery Green after coffee and cars).

Since when is chicken vegan? On a more serious note, it does most certainly suck that a well-preserved MCM building is going to meet the wrecking ball to make way for another Chick-Fil-A, especially when the one on Shearn is all of a mile and a half away.- 52 replies

Since the headwaters of rivers originate in mountains, the source of the elusive river in question must be that well-known local peak, Mount Houston. ;-) Or maybe it's only visible to non-natives. "Houston is a cruel, crazy town on a filthy river in East Texas with no zoning laws and a culture of sex, money and violence." --Hunter S. Thompson

A storied location in Houston music history - it was the original location of the Old Quarter, a bar and live music venue that operated there from 1965 to 1979. Townes Van Zandt's "Live at the Old Quarter" was recorded there. Old Quarter Acoustic Cafe

No disrespect intended toward Ms. Gaw, but as far as I can tell neither her nor the interim executive director that preceded her seem to have any actual experience related to public libraries. The previous executive director held a Master's degree and a doctorate in library and information science. The Mayor's quote above is unfortunately all too typical of those who have bought into the lie that management techniques are more important than actual knowledge of the relevant discipline. Yet another depressing signpost on the path toward the public devaluation of expertise.
