    Yes, I've seen people on the roof of Union Station watching the game before. Would need to be quite a bit taller a block out.

    I started getting weather alerts that look like texts a few days ago on my cell phone alerting me of severe weather conditions. I wonder if the activation of this system is why I started getting those?

    This is called a False Dilemma Fallacy. HCTRA said the tolls would end after the construction costs were paid for. When the tolls end, the highways don't evaporate. Ah, glad you brought up what they said from day 1, because back then they said the tolls would end when the roads were paid for, which happened long ago.

    Who cares what they say? They lie, such as when they promoted the bond referendum by saying that the toll roads would be free after the construction costs were covered. All roads are paid for somooow, but there are plenty of nice roads that aren't paid for with tolls. You don't need to inflation-adjust a toll that isn't supposed to exist any longer in the first place.

    Take them to Kinko's and pay a pretty penny for the employees to scan them in, or run an ad on Craigslist offering to pay a lesser amount to get them all scanned.

    It's a paraphrase, not a misquote. You think they should require ground floor retail space, and you prefer that they require it on all sides of the project. I prefer that the city not abandon Prairie at all.

    Preferably require is what you said. Which means that you prefer that they require.

    Nice... The growler places are popping up left and right.

    Because it isn't so. Picazo failed at LaBranch and Preston. More importantly, though, is that there isn't a lot that is working around here restaurant-wise, aside from V&A and Irma's. Let them decide on their own if they want to offer retail, but let's keep our public right of way.

    They are repurposing current public parking lots to be apartments. A bunch of parking spots there will therefore be lost, and we counter this with...removing more street parking as well? You're saying if they can't do what they want to do that they'll have to do something different? Well...yeah!

    Because I don't like screwing up a simple to navigate grid unless it is for something that's for the use of all/most of the public. According to who?
  12. kylejack
    Of course it will do something to motor traffic: It will stop motor traffic from traveling or parking on that section of road. As to inconveniencing people, that's exactly the problem. I shouldn't have to walk around what was formerly a public road just so a developer can create his urban utopia. Eliminating public roads to create a public park that we all can use is one thing, but eliminating it for a private apartment complex is quite another. Houston's downtown grid is easy to understand and navigate. Adding obstacles in the grid makes it less easy.

    Found this listing: El Tiempo Cantina 502 Main @ Prairie 713-221-1695 Mexican Latin Live Music/Dancing http://www.wowdesignservices.com/wedding/restaurants.html

    Apparently so. I found reference to Grasshopper club being between Post Rice Lofts and El Tiempo.

    Interesting. I have an interview with Enterprise on Monday.

    Why would a restaurant coming to downtown make midtown more lively? There's something called Pepper Jack's coming there.

    But slavery erased the history and cultural background of dozens of generations. The AA name was an attempt to reconnect to that history. Fortunately for that kid, this is a free country where you can call yourself whatever you want, even if others like you don't like it.

    I don't want the city to abandon it at all. It's one thing to mess up a grid for a ballpark, basketball arena, or a major downtown park, but quite another to do so for an apartment complex.

    I see a lot of overlap with what Market Square Bar and Grill serves, but hey, I'm always interested in more options.

    Because Katy has practically non-existent public transportation. Even if you personally started a soup kitchen, not many would be able to get to it.

    Anyone know where I can find when the factory was closed or torn down?
  22. kylejack
    ADT building on Louisiana across from Gloria's was torn down. Shopping center coming.

    It is common knowledge that it isn't available for those of us who have been paying attention. How shall I prove a negative? Programs lay out who they are for, not who they aren't for. WIC stands for Women, Infants, and Children.

    The factory was torn down long ago, but this monument still stands commemorating a perfect safety record at the Trinity Portland Cement Company in 1929, just as The Great Depression was starting. Inscriptions were added to commemorate perfect safety records in 1945, 1947, and 1950. There's a geocache very close by, if you're a cacher. It's at the corner of N Hutcheson and Freund, near 600 N York. http://i.imgur.com/vt3wo.jpg http://i.imgur.com/YDQPf.jpg http://i.imgur.com/uEOlb.jpg http://i.imgur.com/K5mu9.jpg http://i.imgur.com/qxBvx.jpg

    You are? I will recommend reading up on Clinton's welfare-to-work reforms.
