    Olive Garden is frozen dinners. The only reason I would go there was if my microwave or freezer were broken and I really just had to have some microwaved frozen food.

    Collina's (just the one on Richmond near Weslayan) is excellent, but not really close to the museum district, and even further off topic than my last few posts.

    Is your microwave or freezer broken?

    Ewww. Cafe Express sells multiple configurations of overpriced, dry, flavorless chicken breasts. There's nothing "artsy" or "classsy" about that.

    You don't get to tell other people what's a big deal and what isn't. And I'm not sure why you want to. Does it bug you that it was a big deal to someone?

    Yeah, there goes Houston's vibrancy. It's too bad this town doesn't have any $50 steak places.

    Kam's Chinese! But only on weekdays. Weekends it isn't so good.

    Especially trendy ones. If everyone is going there, you can pretty much bet it won't be around for long.

    As a taxpayer (and therefore co-owner of HP), I demand they do something immediately to ensure its success. I want to see a check cashing place and a matress store in there pronto!

    "Daddy, why can't we have fun with the other kids?" "Because those other kids are filthy and disease ridden. Now go scrub the top layer of skin off. Get clean! Clean for Daddy!!"

    The old trains have been gone since January, I think. That big old locomotive went away years ago. You need to get to the park more frequently!

    I miss The Pot Pie. I used to live next door to it. Very unhealthy food. They served stuff like mac & cheese & ham in big bread bowls. It was super gay, too. I'll never forget a breakfast on New Year's Day when the wait staff was hung over and in the shredded remnants of last night's drag.

    Welcome to The HAIF. I'm not hating on the Target; I think this thread is silly. When I lived in The Heights, I shopped at the Target on I-10, then the one on San Felipe. I never felt like I was lacking concomitant infrastructure. It's all just groceries. I usually shopped at the concomitant Kroger's on 20th, or the HEB Pantry before it closed. West U doesn't have La Michoacana.

    Yeah, leave The Woodlands for people who crave soul in all that they consume.

    How about an iPod giveaway to anyone who can write "The HAIF Rulezzzz!" in the concrete?

    Speak for yourself. Sex is very important to some of us.

    Like I said, poor farms and poor houses were different. Poor houses tended to be more like debtors prisons. Poor farms were more like old age homes. By debts, I mean any debts.

    But you could have invested in the project if you wanted the excitement. Let the free market deal with shopping malls.

    It isn't exciting to you. I'm not excited by mimicking other downtowns, but my tax dollars will be used to excite you. You're welcome.

    Poor farms were a little different from poor houses. If you couldn't pay your debts, you could be sentenced to a poor house, but a poor farm was more like a really nasty, county-run retirement home for the elderly and disabled. Residents had to work, but they weren't worked as hard as prisoners or folks in the poor house. It's one of the social institutions that Social Security replaced.

    Downtown Houston.

    I was proud of our downtown when it was a skater's paradise at night. That was something unique about Houston: we all go home at night and let the Urban Animals play while we sleep. Not very. There's a big version of Times Square and I know where to find it, if I wanted it. Why resemble something else when it can be what it is?

    I remember The Gap in Almeda Mall sold Levi's and not much else.

    I sort of grew up with it. I lived down in Sagemont, so I didn't see a lot of River Oaks strip centers until I was in high school and started going to the theater (back when they were a repertory theater that showed different films every day, and the balcony was still a balcony). I'm not hurt by Weingarten tearing down the strip center; the architecture isn't that interesting to me. I miss the Black Eyed Pea and the Jamba Juice that used to be there, though. I used to take my daughter to both of them. She was a master at getting the Jamba Juice people to give her free squishy fruit toys. We still have a few around here. Wow, I'm starting to sound like Grampa Simpson.

    When was that? I remember the Gap at the Galleria, but I'm pretty sure there was one at Almeda Mall in the early 70s. It never seemed "exotic", just a store full of jeans.
