Trophy Property

Remember the Texxas Jam concerts that were back in the late 70's early 80's. The big one was at the Cotton Bowl in 78. Aeromsith, Nugent There was one here in 1983 with Styx, Sammy Hagar, Ted Nugent, Triumph and Uriah Heap. It was in the Astrodome.

The ultimate cool feeling came when he left radio for good. He drove me crazy.

I left during Rita but will probably not leave again unless they fix the evacuation routes. I can handle 6-7 hours to Dallas, but 13 hours in a car with two screaming cats

I like it. Perfect IDEA.

To those new HS graduates. Please don't hang a tassle from your rearview mirror and please refrain from urge to write stupid things on your friends car window using shoe polish. If you can control those urges you are a success in my book. Examples: LHS Class of 2006 - Sexy Driver - Lubbock or Bust - Honk if your Horny -

Thats an original post !! Way to put some thought it in. Lets tear down the shops and then put up the Pavillion. Make lots of sense to me.

I would have to say some big old mansion in Midtown !!! I can not think of any other areas that would be a good fit (except my neighbors house, I could then spy on the Real Word Folks and that would be fun)

Wikipedia to the Rescue Once Again !! I like Dominique in the middle. She has nice attributes...

I remember back about 15 years there was some scandal with Ed Brandon, the weather guy. Anyone remember what that was all about?

Twisted Fork is gone. There is a new concept opening there. I cannot remember the name right now but it is a PF Changs Knockoff from what I hear.

I notice a Quizno's in the picture. Isn't there a Quizno's in the same cetner as Ibiza. I have not been over there in a while. Did they move locations or are two operating withing a qurter mile of one another.

Have you the seen the most recent renovations. I think it looks much nicer and the 80's funk seems gone to me. I am not sure if the renovations are completed yet, but I when I was over there a month ago it looked much better than it had in years. I think J.A. Banks is a good fit. I find Brooks Brothers a bit too pricey for my likes. Their product is far and away more supiorior to J.A. Banks, but out of my range.

That is a pretty cool looking house. I might have to check out the open house.

So lets say you owned the Shops at Houston Center. What would you do to make them better? What wouls have of made your expeience working at 2 Houston Center any better?

The name is actually the Houston Center Shops. Was changed years ago. But I still call it the Park Shops at times too.

Llamo Mr. Norman. Hablamos Espanol. He was a regular fixture on Houston Wrestling. Him and Matress Mack. I just googled him and found nothing about him.. I think he was saying Llamo (sp) Mr Norman, as in my name is Mr. Norman. I could be totally wrong on this one. I was 12 at the time.

Anyone else hating Monday as much as I am today. I can not get rolling today. I have been here for 2 and half hours and have yet to do any real work. Any suggestions for cool websites to surf, or something to kill the day. HAIF is about all I got right now.

Astros have not won a game since Clemmens announced his return. They are fading fast. Ugggh. You can't get swept at home by the team in front of you in the standings. Lets hope there is still some 2005 magic left. They need a turn around quickly.

There are many Coffee Kiosks / Vendors that may not be Starbucks per se but they still sell Starbucks coffee. But if you see a store with the name Starbucks on it then it is owned by corporate.

You are correct. Starbucks does not Franchise. They are all corporate stores.

Time to throw your blockbuster card away and join netflix. I have not walked into a video store in two years. I sound like a spammer.

Was in College Station for a wedding on Saturday. We ate at Abulo's yesterday. It was pretty tasty. I managed to tour some of the areas surrounding the campus. There seems to be a lot of acitivity going on.

I could tell you some stories. Early in my career I manged professional buildings. For a few years I ran a building that was connected to a Dr's Hospital. The un-ethical behavior was out of control. I was pretty much clean, but I had to step away from a few deals and wash my hands. The Dr's group would open lavish offices and run it through the hospital. The more you admitted to the hospital the better your digs were. I also worked for Columbia / HCA in their heyday and they had some shady accounting going on there. I was 26 and pretty new nothing at the time, but even then I knew there was some bad stuff going on. The people that ran those hospitals were money grubbing bottom line dirt suckers. That is not the type of hopsital I want to be in when the ____ hits the fan. My opinion, hopsitals should be non profit. Pay the people who work there well, but lets try not to de-fraud medicare to boost the bottom line. HCA was Enron before Enron was evil !!

OK, now you are starting to freak me out a little. I too went to 2nd Craptist (I just came up with that one) from Pre-K through 8th Grade. I obviously was not a fan. But that is a totally different post.... I graduated HS in 1989 so that gives you an idea of my age. How old are you? We might just know each other. I like the anonominity of this site, but if you are the same age we might have to take it offline and see if we know each other. Did you ever have Mrs Casteneda (sp). She was my 6th grade teacher. She was as mean as a snake (if you are friends with her by some chance, I am just kidding...)

I have the same exact thought. My thought is that terrorist will wait until it is finished and then take it out. I am still wondering who is bankrolling this project. It can't be the smartest investment of all time. Does the Dubai government back this type of project. On a side note, is Dubai where the Islands of the World are being built. I do not know the exact name, but basically every county of the world is being artificially built for tourism purposes. I want to hit Dubai in a bad way, but Mexico is a hell of lot cheaper and easier to get too.
