Fringe

Pretty cool. Couldn't decide if I should put where I live or where I work. Ended up placing my work location. After all I don't want any demented HAIF's to show up where I live.

Disabling shockwave seems to have helped. I've used Opera for so long I can't get used to other browsers. Every once in a while I'll find a site not compatible with Opera but yesterday was the first time I had trouble with the HAIF site.

Anyone else use the Opera browser? All of a sudden it crashes when I get on the HAIF forum. It's like they added something new over the weekend and Opera can't handle the plug-in. Thought it was just my home computer but it does the same at work. Forced me to go to the Chrome browser which isn't nearly as good as Opera.

Update. I disabled the shockwave flash plug-in and Opera is no longer crashing. Must have been some new ad that was causing problems.

You're kidding...in the whole metro area that's the only place you can go? Wow.

That's where you would want to go for the best treatment. There's only two Level 1 trauma centers in all of Houston also. (Herman and Ben Taub) That doesn't mean other hospitals could not treat you but if your injured really bad those two are probably your best chance of survival.

Fringe, where did you get the "running radio" image? I want one for my rear window even though my car is a 2007 year model and KLOL has been gone for a decade. Wasn't there a Cannabis leaf in the middle of the "O" at one time?

The only ones I still have is the one I posted earlier and this one:

This article from Texas Monthly, March, 1976, says the Houston distributors of Coors hoped to launch May 15 of that year (last paragraph). There were 6 distributorships awarded for the Houston area, due to the high initial investment cost.

My wife managed a Walgreens liquor store back in those days and I remember going to a grand opening at one of the Coors distributorship's. Seems like it was in the old Astroworld area. Earl Campbell was there and I got his autograph.

Was surprised to hear that some of the kids were taken to Memorial Hermann when West Oaks Medical Center is only a few minutes drive down Richmond. Maybe that was due to the specifics of their injuries or capacity at West Houston MC at the time.

Memorial Herman in the med center is the only burn treatment center in Houston.

Comparing state and federal budgets to Houston Metro is like comparing McDonald's whole budget to Bernie's Burger Bus.

Metro is supposed to make a profit?

I think that would be a first for a public transportation system.

Who said anything about a profit? Is it wrong to ask them to be responsible with taxpayers money?

It says they were taken at the Rice Hotel.

Metro is nothing but a money pit. Always has been and always will be.

Home video of John F. Kennedy in Houston that recently surfaced shows the president and first lady, just hours before his death, reaching out to the Hispanic community.

(Sorry. I keep trying to attach the film but unable to do so)

KHOU

I definitely have to try Bernie's.

In 1974 and 75 I went to Fort Worth every other weekend to visit my kids, and I always made a point of coming back to Houston with at least half a dozen cases of Coors, which I had no trouble selling at cost to neighbors in my apartment complex. It got me invited to a lot of parties.

Same here. I had Grandparents in Fort Worth and New Mexico and whenever we went to visit we would return with as many case of Coors as I could fit in the car. Was it really any better back then or was it just because it was so elusive? Of course there were not many choices back then either.

Only downside of the acrylic plastic is it doesn't hold up well in hurricanes. I covered a patio one time and there was nothing left after the storm. It is easy to work with though if your doing it yourself.

Hoar works in several market sectors including healthcare, office, cultural and entertainment, civic, education, and others. For example, the Science Teaching Lab (University Of Houston), River Oaks Medical Center, and the Parks at Arlington Mall are a few of Hoar’s Houston notable projects. Hoar’s work on Houston Methodist’s Central Utility Plant won ENR’s Best Project in the Under $10 million category.

So who is this Collins Ofoegbu and why hasn't the city put out a contract on him?

At least you can now take your dog out for a drink:

Boneyard

Other than an immigration center I can't understand anyone wanting to build there.

I can't stand to listen to any political talk show host. It's their job to be controversial so any of them are going to say ridiculous things. I'll stick to sports talk shows when I tune to local radio and thank god for satellite radio Totally worth the $7 a month.

I got 2 on order.

The 1953 aerial is great. Nice to see Houston pre 610. They were just starting my old neighborhood (Woodside). At the time it was the furthest neighborhood in southwest Houston. I first moved there as a child in 55.

Isn't that the building that formally housed Scott Gertners Skybar?

Was Meyer Park once known as Meyerland Plaza?

No. Meyerland Plaza is on Beechnut and 610 and way predates Meyer Park.
