    I just left from there - I am considering giving downtown living a try (only if my home can lease for a good price). Well, I felt they were fine. They are definately not glamorous but there not bad. Good price if you want to get into downtown. Layouts are pretty nice as well. Again my issue . . .Parking. No parking and only one entrance in. They have contracted though with garages VERY near with a reasonalbe fee.

    As much as I would love a coffee shop (no Starbucks), Chipotle, Freebirds, or bakery I won't hold my breath for revitalization of S. Post Oak. What are they building next to the Shipley's?

    Hello All, I am trying to find a reasonable landscape designer for a simple Mod home. The current landscape is fit for a traditional house and looks horrible. Any recommendations on a designer or websites that have pics of landscapes? Thank you.

    I've seen too many close call accidents because of the lights not being synched. It takes forever to get out of downtown now in the evenings.

    I gave it two tries as well. This place is overpriced and overhyped.

    I am a CW fan. News is straight to the point without out all the cheezy talk.

    You know I thought I was the ONLY one bothered by this. I just hate how I have to lay over when I live in a hub city. Another thing that pisses me off is that Continental does not have any late flights from LAX to IAH. Meaning for those getting off of transpacific flights between 5-7pm they have to wait until the NEXT DAY to get into Houston. But I quess South America is Houston's "Thing".

    Jax Grill on Shephard. . . It was fine.

    From Houston Press Best Of Houston 2007 Best Hidden Neighborhood (2007) Westbury This Southwest Houston neighborhood has had a bit of a bad rap, some of it connected to relocated Katrina victims. But, despite the catfight at Westbury High last year, a lot of that involved the victims as victims, not as perpetrators. Other

    This is a georgeous neighborhood that I stumbled into accidently a few years ago. Those homes over there are well kept and they truly adhere to there deeds.

    ???? I need to throw out here . . . Does anyone know where one could go and find an exterior front door that fits with a Mod home? Most doors sold in stores here are for traditional homes. Thanks!

    San Diego is only 6% African American last I check versus Houstons 18% Whites in San Diego account for over 70% as they do in Houston. What I have observed since moving here . . . And I am speaking strictly adults . . . People here do not tend to mingle out of there circle in my opinon. When I met people when I moved here, and they would bring me around there social circle (or I observed this from afar) - everyone was pretty much from the same race, background, etc . . . Didn't see a lot of "diversity" in the social circles of locals. San Diego, LA, San Francisco - It seems like many races were/are represented from every ethnic group when observing & being apart of social groups. People seemed more "open" in welcoming a person in. Yeah, downtown here may have Latinos and African Americans - but are they socializing TOGETHER or in different clubs? Are the clubs representative of Houston or just one group who patronizes the establishment? I'm not knocking Houston, however I still believe that many adults (locals) stay within there circle. I don't see many people venturing out to diversify their circle.

    Breakfast Klub hands down (fish, grits, chicken, waffles, people watching). Hobbit Cafe is pretty good.

    Both Home Depot & Lowes have horrible, horrible customer service. They have it because they can. I stopped going to Home Depot for awhile because Lowes was aesthetically pleasing. Merchandise was in order, well light, and fairly empty (now I see why). But they pissed me of royally and missed out on a large $$$ purchase from me. I and other customers were paging employees to come to the dept and guess what? no one ever showed. Manager would say they were getting someone - guess what? they don't show. & when some did show, guess what? It wasn

    I think with the Thai food here in Houston it will be a hit or miss on how it tastes. As for Indian, the southwest side is where you will find these restaurants.

    Do you think this would pertain to Houston as well?

    That's why I do not even waste my time at that theatre. The Dunvale Location works fine for me.

    I didn't even know they were closing.

    It is a older neighborhood that is growing in popularity. More than some really care to believe.

    I am a California native and totally understand what your saying. People in Houston love to scream about diversity. But I find here, $$ alone wont get you in. That's what I appreciate about Cali. At least if I had the $$ and means to get into a neighborhood, I could. Here, no. And if you do get into a neighborhood you apprantely have "no business in" - It will be a cold reception (I know this for a fact, living it now).

    Wow! That is great. Have you flooded any? Has there been an increase any in crime?

    I do not understand how Brady's Landing continues to stay in business. I cringe when a company wants to take people there. Monument Inn is not the greatest. I can find better seafood in the middle of houston. Also, looking at the dirty water does not help my appetite.

    Very true. I RARELY see interracial couples in Houston (adults). I am from California, & it seemed as if interracial couples were the norm there versues the exception. Houston really does have a way to go. Especially if one thinks Houston is progressive in the interracial scene. For example, it seems like in other major LARGE cities, caucasian men seem more open to dating women of different races and or frequenting spots where you find women of various races. I don't see that here at all. I have a issue with Houston. For a city that is always screaming "diversity, diversity diversity" everyone seems to stay on their side of the tracks. & you best believe when you cross over to another side - stares and glares will come your way - this includes neighborhoods, hangout spots, etc . . . .
