I'm not a fan of the first round pick because he's an LSU recruit. I'm hoping he decides the ladies in college are better than on the minor league bus tour for a few years.

CityCentre: Mixed-Use Development At 800 Town And Country Blvd.
20thStDad replied to Parrothead's topic in Going Up!
Sure, if their location is as optimal as this one. But it's not. See: waterlights district. -
As long as they don't put another Eatzi's in there. That place was idiotic. Cold food at ridiculous prices? Woohoo! Just dumb. No wonder it went away.

They had a trolley type service when I moved here in 2001. I guess they don't have it any more. All my friends who worked downtown rode a free trolley/shuttle, and we always took the free shortstop shuttle to Astros games. Now that even more people live in midtown I would think this is more necessary.

Urbannizer you must really dig some Hyundai and Kia! I never thought I would be so educated about their upcoming models, but you make sure I am.
-
That should easily draw over 21,000 so even if it was built I think they would be having this at Reliant. They might even fill that place.
-
I hope they put in a dungeon and elevators to raise up lions and other carnivores at random so they can feast on the wussy injury fakers.
-
Ok now this makes sense. The Astros started 0-8, of course they would have the most negative "chatter" during that time period. They shouldn't be allowed to call this a study or put numbers to it.
-
Will this result in any liquor stores being closed down? If not I'm ok with it.

Yeah those were kind of the dream picks, but with both being gone in the top 10 it wasn't likely. Too bad the guy they got is from 'bama. Loser. I didn't watch on tv because I was out to dinner for my anniversary, but it seems like it was kind of a boring draft aside from a couple of picks (Tebow and whoever your team is). Good enough for prime time? I guess so, on a cable channel. I would have watched if I was at home. I will not watch tonight or over the weekend though, so I think maybe this first round move to Thursday will hurt the viewers that normally stuck around for the 2nd-3rd rounds. It's Friday, they'll be out partying.

CJ Spiller or Eric Berry, whoever is available.

So you agree he was at least 'roided up...as for douche, a friend of mine was good friends with his wife/girlfriend (different?) and crossed paths with him at least half a dozen times, and stated that he was a douche. I don't care either way really. I just think he looked like something was up his arse when he batted, like in this excellent rendering by Highway6
-
Or because he was a 'roided up douche? The Astros should have shopped Berkman last year. He's past his prime now and they need young talent in a bad way.

I can't believe no one has been motivated to start the 2010 Astros topic yet!!!! Wait, 0-7 and less than 2 runs per game so far? Ouch. It would be easier if we could say it was pitching or hitting, but it's both. Ok try to find a positive...no one has more than 1 HR...no pitchers with wins...team leader has 3 RBI (Placido Polanco had 6 in 1 game)...team leader has 2 runs...well they are in the top half of MLB in fielding percentage!...and Oswalt's ERA is decent at 3.75! This has to be one of the worst starts I've seen in years. I know it's just a small set of games, but dang. I think their success must be indirectly related to the price of beer and other concessions, because there's no logical reason for a professional team to be this bad.
-
No doubt! I haven't been in about 6 years but I was all about some Alamo Drafthouse happy hour movie time. Different specials each day, beer or food. We always sneak our food into the theater these days, but only go about once ever 2 years because of kids and $. I'd rather blow my money on something else, like sushi.
-
How about less bickering, and more pics of good/bad examples for how you want Houston to change?
-
Yeah southern baptists and pentacostals, not presbyterians from what I've observed. And the reason, of course, is that dancing makes kids irresponsible and all want to have sex. Didn't you see Footloose?

I drive right by downtown every morning while it's still dark, and I prefer the buildings that appear ghostly, rising up in the night lit only by muted interior lighting. It just looks and feels cool to me. The overtly flashy lit ones usually stand out the first time I notice them, but after seeing it many times I kind of want them to turn it down and highlight another one that maybe I haven't noticed.

This would be great, but I can hear the discrimination cries already. You can't get more logical, the cost to move someone (in fuel terms) is directly proportional to their weight. So perhaps they apply this logic only to the fuel cost portion of a fare and leave all else equal. Especially since on more than one occasion I've had to suffer through a flight next to some gigantic person who takes up half of my seat. They should be required to buy 2 seats, and I should get my damn money back. I know there is a policy that you have to buy 2 seats if you are large, but they don't enforce it.
-
If they would do a survey I think they would find that the vast majority of folks would prefer they just keep everything included in the fare and raise the fare a bit. No one likes being nickel and dimed to death.

FINALLY got around to going here. It's perfect, it's the place we've been searching for ever since moving from Louisiana. I'll be back regularly. So few places in Houston do it right when it comes to Cajun (don't even joke about Ragin Cajun...they try, but not quite). http://www.calliopespoboy.com/index.html

The Heights Restaurant And Bar Scene - More Coming
20thStDad replied to Freelander's topic in The Heights
Chicago Pizza (Airline) - we do the deep dish religiously, still need to try the Italian beef -
Lack of master bland communities, chain retail, and traffic. I prefer an actual small town any day over a 'burb.
