  1. Virgin is actually fairly competitive. The only place that would probably sell cheaper I think would be Wal-Mart. Of course Wal-Mart's selection is little thinner. When I lived in Louisiana, I used hold off on buying CD's until I went to New Orleans to go to the Virgin store since it was cheaper.
  2. The land sale has already been agreed upon. Now it just the wait time for all the other pieces to fall in to place. I haven't seen any timetable. I'll guess we'll know something when construction fences and demolition crews show up.
  3. Good thing it closed. It only means that we may eventually get something better. Astroworld is not the first amusement park to close down. It actually opened when another popular park near Gulfgate was set to close. Also, Six Flags or any amusement destination is not beholding to whether the people want to keep it open. Any amusement park is based on money, if more was to be made by selling, then it is so. If some sees a need for an amusement park in Houston and has the money to invest, we'll see another get built. Probably in a better location with potential extra land for expansion.
  4. ^^^ Nothing but a brilliant statement. New Orleans has a chance to completly build their school system from scratch.
  5. The drawings of the proposed development looks great. It would really fill in the area and make is a real urban place. All the apartments along Cummins could easily supply a steady pedestrian source. The area already pulls in a crowd for the Edwards cinema. This will give them more of a reason to stay in the area.
  6. It's not troubling at all. No employer is requrired to provide benefits. Benefits are a way to entice someone to work for you. Wal-Mart doesn't have a problem finding people to work for them. I don't know why people get the perception that your employer to should pay for everything. And if you employer does, imagine if he would just not pay you and transfer those cost to your salary. You can get your own health care and retirment and do it better.
  7. I wonder if he'll start a restraunt that won't use generic food and concoctions and have an actually chef on hand. I'm with you Red, Tilman building a restraunt is no reason to leave your neighborhood. That same line of thought means he should have moved out when developers were building the little victorian mansions everywhere. They changed the Heights much more than one restraunt will.
  8. How much about this team do you know? I don't see much of tract record. I just hope the price point is reasonable so the presales are good. They are doing presales and not reservations, right? Anyway, it will be interesting to watch.
  9. He'll support whoever will help with his business. Not much different than Enron backing Clinton in 1996 and then George Bush in 2000.
  10. It behind the Chase bank and shopping center off Alabama and Kirby. You can see it from the Whole Food parking lot.
  11. It's kind of snobby for heights residents to pretend that they are above a certain type of establishment. So what if Fertita wants to build a restraunt. He's buying the land and he's following the rules. If the heights residents should be mad at someone, they should be mad at the owner of Someburger or the land it sits on.
  12. I can see where they will be more ahead in rail since certain times of the year it isn't necessarily good driving weather.
  13. Will this be a Target or SuperTarger? I've been hearing things on both sides. If anybody knows for sure, let us know.
  14. METRO Go to Metro Solutions on the website.
  15. The circle is a hot-water heater. The one-bedrooms have a stackable in the bathroom. The larger floorplans have side by sides in a closet near the foyer.
  16. Yes, It's on a deadline. Metros website has a scheduled laid out.
  17. You know, I found out the other day that Lakewood doesn't own the Compaq center. They are leasing it from the city. The original plan was to put Lakewood where the new proposed downtown park is going to be. The city squashed the church's proposal to by the land and bought it. Lakewood entered an agreement with the city for the Compaq Center. So techincally, Lakewood could eventually move out of there.
  18. Cool, I've been seeing a lot of them. I think Dodge/Chrysler made a good turn when being bought by Mercedes-Benz. The quality just seemed to go up. Oh, and what's coming and going from my ass is none of your business.
  19. I may be gay, but I don't want flames coming out by my ass.
  20. How do you like the Magnum? Does it have big blind spot? Just wondering. I like the new Chargers to eventhough it has four doors.
  21. I like it. The car is built like brick, at least they don't look like them anymore. I like the smaller s40's now. In a few years I may swicth to one of those.
