Pasadena Plaza! Now that's a thread of its own ;-0

Pancho's!

I remeber when The Heights smelled like patchouli oil and dirty birkenstocks.

I think the only apartments left are 1/2 way down Mid Lane.

Looks to be a few salvage items left. There was some cool detail on some of the stairs.

Cullen University would be very cool. Not every school in the UH system has to be UH-something. Just look at Lamar, Angelo State, Texas State (now that is a bad name).

Some folks call anything in the loop "downtown". Maybe that's the confusion.

At one time the main campus was called UH - University Park.

Closing of what streets?

While not closed, Dallas St. from Allen Center to Fannin is total mess.

The entire right lane is closed.

I never use them anyway. One can only be so wired.

So has anyone looked at the 1-series convertible?

Well equiped they end up almost as much as a 3.

Two that I can see say "Free Public WiFi".

I am downtown and can currently see 4 free WiFi and 3 secured WiFi networks.

On a good day I can pick up Allen Center Food Court.

Dont forget KACC - The Gulf Coast Rocker!

Filling up the tub is still a good idea.

When Bulls Attack

Remember when China town was supposed to get grand entrance gates?

I had a feeling.

A few months back I saw the same lady on both commericals.

Robert Finger died of cancer.

It's "Tunnel Rat". And I don't participate in that game.

I wouldn't walk to MMP if I worked in the Cotton Exchange.

Biesball is very, very boring to ME.

So what do they enjoy out of season?

Also, typical lazy Houstonians. Too lazy to walk or take the train ;-)

My first thought was the game of life.

That's neat.

Hi all,

I was wondering how much value does a private driveway, rooftop deck, and the main windows facing the street add to a townhouse as opposed to shared driveway, no rooftop, and facing sideways?

If you could break each one down by an estimated $$ amount, that'd be even better. I currently have an offer on a great deal in Rice Military for a little over 300k (pre-foreclosure). However, there is a brand new constructed townhouse a couple blocks away (on a nicer street) that has all the extra things (private driveway alot better in RM where guest parking sucks, rooftop that sees downtown, and alot more natural light since it faces the street). This house is a little over 400k though. Do you think this is worth the extra 100k? Better in the long run for living comfort and resale?

Any opinions are greatly appreciated!

It all depends on how "Rice Military" evolves.

You know this. I know this.

If we could see into the future...

Anyone ever notice the Houston House garage exit sign says:

"Enjoy the Game"

What's up with this?

Oy Vey, Red!

If Houston won the games could you imagine what the world would be saying about us?

It's cool to comment on others.

That's the way of the world.

I tried to start something similar in Texas but it failed:

This is my last post in the China thread.

Reality (war) intrudes on a make-believe campaign

http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/editor...ok/5937280.html

This year's August upheaval coincides, probably not coincidentally, with the world's preoccupation with that charade of international comity, the Olympics.

For only the third time in 72 years (Berlin 1936, Moscow 1980), the Games are being hosted by a tyrannical regime, the mind of which was displayed in the opening ceremony featuring thousands of drummers, each face contorted with the same grotesquely frozen grin. It was a tableau of the miniaturization of the individual and the subordination of individuality to the collective. Not since the Nazis' 1934 Nuremberg rally, which Leni Riefenstahl turned into the film Triumph of the Will, has tyranny been so brazenly tarted up as art.

A worldwide audience of billions swooned over the Beijing ceremony. Who remembers 1934? Or anything.

Those crazy krauts!

It's all a grande charade in China.

Bela Karolyi even suggests the gymnastics are not the age they say they are.

China just misunderstood. China cool.
