So, what do you think will happen to the Simon/Mills deal?

Some Canadian group is set to acquire Mills Corp....didn't catch the name on the news though.

Wow, I just looked at photos from sixflagshouston.com and I just can't believe they tore down all those terrific trees.
-
It would almost make sense for a Busch Gardens to appear here, considering the business ties to Houston Budweiser has. Apparently, there was a Busch Gardens here at one point, but not any rides or anything, just gardens as it originally was.

George Strait, every time! I think I have only missed him once or twice since I was 16.

Here is a site that might interest you:

There is a forum there as well, but I like this one better!
Below is the Astroworld Park map from 1980, when my best friend and I used to get the season passes! $10 for the pass if I'm not mistaken. ;-)
What a trip. I had that map hanging in my closet. That definitely was one of their best years.

Man, I remember when they couldn't GIVE those things away. *shakes head*
They seem about what is going on in Galveston these days!

The high rise scenes were filmed at 2016 Main, you can see the Houston House in the background. As for the uptown nightclub, it was Elan back then, on St. James near Yorktown. It is now a restaurant called The Courtyard.
Yes! It was later The Ocean Club. I remember people talking about that!

Congrats Mark, that looks like a terrific example of Life Forms' excellent use of space!! Is that over there off of Rush Haven/Flintridge?

TJ, YES! I never did it (not then, anyway LOL), but I do remember the months leading up to the law change, what a weird time that was at that club.
I bet we knew each other in our former lives

Yes westguy, that was SkyScreamer--OMG! Freaked me out!!
I had many good memories, but unfortunately, one time I was there on a day that I wasn't supposed to be (my mother expressly told me not to go), and when I came home I found out my father died. I only went one time after that, needless to say it was not the same.
I am sad that it is gone though.
-
Hey wasn't Red Square the former Homage? I think I went there a few times.
-
Lizard Lounge (in both cities) is/was weak. It was for the X and Capri Cigs smoking crowd. Cheesedicks.
OMG seriously!
I was 17 in '87 so it was hard to get into some places, but for the most part, I could do it. It was a big deal to go "into Houston" from Kingwood. It was awesome!
I liked 6400 early on, but ick to later. I liked Xcess better. NRG had the best music, IMHO. Numbers sorta scared me, but I guess that's why I liked it so much. I saw Nine Inch Nails there with the Jim Rose Side Show in 1987 (I think it was '87). I almost got trampled!!
Clubland, if I could get in, definitely. Decadance was harder to get into for some reason. I guess the bouncers were getting into trouble letting us in. I went to the Ocean Club ONE time. That was all that was needed.
I remember Red Square, Club Some and Power Tools. Gads, the names of these places!
Mid to late '90s I was going to Rich's all the time. Heaven, JR's, and Pacific Street too. I was a huge hag and we had quite an entourage. Lots of drinks, lots of other things. Not much to be proud of, but it was fun!
-
BTW, has anyone heard if Dean & Deluca is coming out to the Woodlands area? If so, when & where? Thanks!
Are you kidding?!?!!?
-
Thank god, I was gonna freak out! I love me some Eatzi's!!
-
I went to Lifetime Fitness with some friends out at Cinco Ranch, and they are definitely looking to drive out YMCA's and similar. They are very family oriented.

I loved the Great Greek on Gessner & Westheimer, I went there on a first date with one of my first boyfriends. So good!
The best thing about going to Marshall Field's cafe in the Galleria: Silver Satin Cake! It was wedding cake, so good!
-
Where was the first LifeForms home built? What floorplan was it? Did LifeForms build exclusively in the Woodlands, or did they branch out to other areas?
Someone mentioned in another post that LifeForms is no longer around. Aren't they located on Research Forest somewhere? Their homes are so nice that it would be a shame if they were gone.
LifeForms is no longer in business. If you check one of the earlier posts in this thread, a member gives a great history of their existence.
-
Price per square footage is going up in The Woodlands, but especially on the older LifeForms. In fact, I think there are only about three on the market currently. It's been like that for a few months now.
-
I drove past this home the other day. It is in a nifty location and looks very familiar to me. I wonder who the architect was...does anyone know?
I really like Royal Oaks--the homes are beautiful and well-taken care of. I could see how that whole area could make a big comeback once I-10 is done.

I just wrote to the Houston Farm & Ranch Club to see if they would be interested in saving it if the rumor is true. I would like to save this structure, it needs to be saved--how do we do it?
edited to add: I also wrote to Comm. Steve Radack.
-
I read in another post that they are going to tear it down!! Is this true? It can't possibly be! There has to be some way to move it or save it?!?!?

I drove through the areas of Shadow Bend and Royal Oaks (the OLD Royal Oaks in Spring Branch, not the new subdivision over by Kirkwood/Westheimer) today and I just LOVED Royal Oaks. I also liked Spring Lea, which is the neighborhood just behind the grain elevator-cum-storage unit off of Lumpkin Road. Hubby and I are looking. It's a neat, neat area. Royal Oaks looks IDENTICAL (and in fact, some of the homes are) to Memorial Plaza and Rustling Oaks, but the lots are larger in R.O. and the trees are enormous pines instead of oaks. I felt like I was in a different city! It was definitely worth checking out. The demographics are interesting, but I think that is mostly due to low-rent apartments along the north and east side of the area. It is SBISD, and both Shadow Bend and Westwood Elementaries have "Acceptable" ratings. It would be nice to see that improve over the next few years.

It's possible, but not likely.
