  1. My masters project was a Petrologic study of the area and I could never find reason for most of the claims about anwr. I mean I'm sure there are some decent gas plays and even some oil but my models determined no great amount of either.
  2. dbigtex56 - I think the style lends itself to needing more help along the way than some other constructions, at least in the case of these affordable mods meant for the masses. I also believe in updating materials as you move along and technology provides. I suppose that makes me less of a hardline than most here. For instance, I think 90% of Mod kitchens need major help. Help that alot of your more era-correct people would like to flay me for. Oh btw, I see that har is listing it as 'Option Pending'.
  3. If your talking about that spanish style house at Memorial and Boheme, I heard it was actually designed by one of the mod architect's. I just dont recall which one.
  4. San Felipe is a nice corridor. That Kroger strip area seems to do really well as well as the area directly across San Felipe to the north there. Plaza On San Felipe: Retail Center At 1635-1745 Voss Rd.
  5. Are you referring to that Grey monster on Memorial next to the mod? The one with the white lions and blah blah blah? If you are, that house actually drove me from even considering the mod next door
  6. Interesting, to get from uptown to westchase they suggest going via "Smith & Polk", ie downtown.
  7. For viewing pleasure: 1965 Aston Martin DB5 coupe (shaken, not stirred) For daily driver: 2003 Audi RS6 Avant For the speed thrill: 2006 Noble M12
  8. Uptown Taking the family and dog to Dallas. I'm lucky to go 2 weeks without losing power, no way I'm riding this one out without AC. Good luck folks. Oh and if you end up looting my place... please trash it. Danke.
  9. Probably the numerous threads on what to do with the astrodome... post your desktop... there was one about Philip Johnson too.
  10. Welcome back, 2112! (hehe nm, on further inspection you been posting for awhile and I just never ran across them... welcome back, lowbrow)
  11. "Battelsteins", I believe. That Miller sign is classic.
  12. I'm working on my creole drawl to see what they will knock off a Merc E55.
  13. There is a contemporary furniture store just south of the Louis Shank's on Fondren called Spazzz... or something similar. I think the cross street is Clarkcrest. As well as Cantoni and Pilie'. http://houston.citysearch.com/profile/9890...editorialreview http://houston.citysearch.com/profile/41779685#sponsorTop Also the place next tothe Brazil Cafe at Westheimer and Dunlavy called Mid-Century Modern.
  14. Our docent on the Chase building tour told us the escalator in the bank lobby there was the first in Houston. Its no longer there but you can see it in the pictures on the walls. (Just to confuse the issue further.)
  15. "Displaced Students Stabbed in Boston" At least we didnt stab anyone. http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20050914/ap_on_...tudents_stabbed
  16. Well, I'm starting to see this story pop up nationally. Lovely.
  17. Give them all a shovel and put em on a bus for New Orleans.
  18. My daughter is way to young for Astroworld but she gets so excited everytime we drive past it... "Rollercoasters DaDay!!" I was hoping to take her in a few years.

    Yeah isn't Vincent a crack whore now?
  20. Actually I meant the Presidency in general... not Bush. He wont change. Why should he?
  21. Me thinks the days of our president living in a hermetically sealed wonderdome are over. His cabinet should include Information Minister... someone like myself that reads FARK and a hundred other news sources all day. Maybe he should sign up for cnn instant messages to his cell phone.
  22. This is great: http://www.perrspectives.com/blog/archives/000246.htm
