Although the thought of a 47 story modern monument sounds grand, bigger isn't always better. The superstructures in downtown have eclipsed some of the true Texas landmarks... Like the crown of downtown The Neils Esperson.

As long as the "sheeple" are tuning in the antics will get worse. Pretty soon they will find someone to act like George Newman from UHF! I just hope they get some of the shows in the deal. The radio stations do the same thing, all media is controlled by the same couple of companies... Get used to it.

I work off of Aldine Bender, its a real shame, there are some really nice houses on large lots most are still kept up nicely. But the closer you get to 59 the worse off you are. Once again there are low income apartments housing mostly african and latino based people. The worst apartment complex is known as "hav-a-rock" based on the given name Haverstock. I dont think there is 1 hard working person in the whole place. An armed gaurd is at the main gate 24 hrs, if you dont live there or have business with someone that does you can not enter. I see ambulances with people on stretchers a couple times a month, the convenience store and strip center next to the complex are riddled with drug dealers, hookers, and junkies. The strip center has a hard time keeping decent customers due to the criminal activities that surround them. If you cross over 59 you run in to a more latino portion on Old Humble road, yet again in the roach motel apartments. Cheap housing, hot tempers, drugs, gangs, all run together. Its a real shame that our neighborhoods are turning into war zones.

I dont think there is anything we can do to make these places safe without spreading the problem somewhere else. Its like putting a band aid on a shot gun wound... Theres always more blood.
