  1. dbig, you missed the point. Visitors want to see the Dome, not because it is beautiful, but because it is The Astrodome. Most first-time visitors I have known said the two things they really wanted to see was NASA and The Astrodome.
  2. Anybody ever see the Cadillac Ranch outside Amarillo? Well, I have. We drove out of our way just to go by and see it. It is ugly. It is gaudy. But it was there, and I had never seen it, so I drove over just to see it because it was famous.
  3. I have been thinking a great deal about the proposed light rail project to Northline mall. At first glance this project seems quite absurd because of the limited number of commuters it would serve. It makes me wonder about the reasoning behind this decision. If my conclusions are correct, I
  4. I have been to the one on Airline a couple of times. It was pretty good, but nothing special. I wasn't too woried about the sanitary condition of the place, though. I figgered that if the color of the building didn't make me sick, then nothing would.
  5. Ah, I see, now. The North Hardy Corridor will handle the literally hundreds of commuters from Northline Mall to Downtown and all points in-between. That

  11. I was merely noting the similarities in the two domes.
  12. In passing downtown today I noticed a building with a similar dome on top. It was around 20 floors, although I didn
  13. I saw that place Thanksgiving, and I thought it was a huge dancing joint!
  14. You mean I made up a real word??? I guess somebody liked those yellow trees because there were enough of them around.
  15. This isn't saying much, but I questioned most of the answers Ken missed, including every one of the Daily Doubles. I thought they were fairly easy questions, if not by knowledge, then by reason. I hate to say it, but I think ol' Kenny took a dive!
  16. At what US company do white-collar workers work an average of only 4 months a year?
  17. Another entertaining source is the 4-episode PSB series, "Houston, Remember When". That sure brings bach a flood of memories.
