  1. Is everyone keeping with tradition and having New England Chowder tonight?
  2. Sauce is to great Q as catsup is to filet mignon. You gotta remember, Texas Monthly is all about advertising, so I don
  3. I have heard of people wanting smaller yards, but that is rediculous!
  4. I worked for a Dutch pipe supply company at the time, and someone from the main office sent us a newspaper clipping from a Holland paper about the fire complete with pictures.
  5. I heard they were going to reopen the underwater show. Some company out of Houston will open a branch in San Marcos at the Springs. I think the company is Gold Cup. What
  6. What I fail to understand is that both Houses of Congress passed this bill, and Bush simply approved it, so why heap all the blame on Bush? Why not blame Congress? That
  7. No, it was tw2ntyse7en I was thinking about, i just forgot his handle. I just remembered it had to do with a number. I recall 77017, but I didn't anything about him, or that he was banned.
  8. "Most likely to leave in a snit" I can't remember his screen name, but it was a 5-digit number, like a Zip Code. Before he left, he went back and deleted all his previous posts.
  9. When Cavalla was moved to Seawolf Park, I hated the idea of it being stuck in the ground rather than in water. I now understand the necessity of that. Perhaps Texas could be planted in the same manner? It
  10. None of the above, but for a different reason - I don't watch TV news. In fact, I don't watch TV at all because I 86'ed my DishTV service, and I can't get the local (Austin) stations because of bad reception. I went from being a TV Junkie to a TV Dropout literally overnight.
  11. According to B4U-Eat, all Houston locations have closed. If you check out the link, and you read the most recent reviews, you may see why they closed.
  12. We were talking about Aquarena Springs just last weekend at a nature outing here in Bastrop. My GF is doing a dig on 304 at Cedar Creek, an Indian encampment dating back some 5000 years. A woman in that group was at the outing, and she was saying that there is an archeological
  13. I am not a big fan of Brownstone, especially in an area like the Heights. They just don
  14. After I posted the question, I thought about the problems of parking along Yale. However, those lots seem to be deep enough to build a row of shops, and still have plenty of room to park, as is evident on 11th and Yale where the Eckerd
  15. My folks knew the Chadwicks, and I used to get a warm feeling every time I passed that old station. But it's long past time that place was razed. For some reason, Yale Street has been slow to respond to all the renovation of the Heights area. I know there is traffic considerations for residential use. But it seems like it would make a great location for some upscale businesses.
  16. My granddad was living in Sargent when Carla hit. He lost part of his house, but there was enough left that he was able to rebuild.
  17. The Olympics have become little more than an over hyped, money grubbing exhibition that has almost nothing to do with National pride and everything to do with individual glory and the almighty dollar. I don
  18. Can someone tell me what is directly behind these properties? The location at 14th and Yale used to be Chadwick
  19. Maybe one of you old timers - OK, other old timers can help me on this one. If I remember, the Jack Tar was at Seawall just east of Broadway. Was it gone before Carla? Or was it a victim of the storm?
  20. No more wire hangers! Uh, sorry. Just had a flashback from something my dearest mommy used to tell me.
