Righteous! By definition i am a semi-hipster and i live in the Heights! It can happen!!

for the win....

owner of Volcano near Rice bought Leon's.

this is the post of the entire thread. internet forums = serious business my friends.

Sorry, Jessie. Emotionless text strikes again. I live here as well, not elitist one bit either! Thanks for trying to bring some civility to this thread.

You are really not as good at this as you think you are. Let me try to express my feelings rather then you glean them from my comments. I think your presence is wonderful. You add heaps of value to this forum, in some weird way. So do the NIMBY elitist Heights residents, in their own odd way as well. I also fully understand that walmart will change the world for all of us inner loopers. No where did I post otherwise. I have never said i don't like or don't want walmart to build on this site. I have not forgotten about everyone else and have not stated as such. you moved near the walmart in your backyard, perhaps you forgot that. what i am asking of you, and i should have just typed this in the first place, is to let go a little. you are more then entitled to your opinion, but so are the elitests. So are the area residents that dont have a computer (so they cant post on forums all day) and now have a 180 degree better view towards life since they can (if its ever built) shop for cheaper "needs" at wallyworld! I wasnt attacking your ability to have and post an opinion, just asking for a little neighborly love.

absolutely nothing. you are more then welcome to post your opinion all day long, as you freely do now. just let someone else have an opinion too without point counter pointing them all day long. you either don't care or completely ignore the simple fact that this is in someones "back yard", while ignoring or not caring that that yard isn't yours.

I also forgot how to point out how amazing you are at reading minds. I think what i enjoy the most about internet forum discussions is the fact that people can read so well into a few lines of text to know EXACTLY what someone is thinking. Absolutely amazing. You lumped me into the elitist crowd after reading one post and i am starting to think you are clearly related to Miss Cleo. Anyone, even people who are practically in Dallas, can shop at any walmart or any store they want. Although there are plenty of suburban Walmarts that are closer to you that you might feel better about patronizing being how socially conscious you seem to be. This thread is about a discussion where Walmart, may or may not be building in an area that to most people is well known as the "greater heights" area of our city. I know you are not that naive and spout plenty of real estate isms day after day, so this shouldn't be a surprise - yes, most of us understand its not in THE HEIGHTS, just like Target or "Sawyer Heights" isn't either. You also understand that branding/marketing is very important for business to survive and LOCATION immensely more important. This will be the Walmart (Super or Neighborhood) located in the Houston Heights.

yes they do? i love reading your responses, especially since you DON'T EVEN LIVE IN THE HEIGHTS.

one of the few posts of value in this entire thread. wouldn't it be wonderful if you were in the NIMBY brigade yet were essentially subsidizing their business too!!??

I really hope them end up opening. It looked like they got quite far in their opening preparations then just stopped.
