  1. They should put a presidential head at each end and one in the middle.
  2. Yes I was a bit hard on the goat farm, I really don't mind it. It's the suburban pieces that annoy me.
  3. I don't see how moving to Pearland would improve my quality of life in any way. I do think I would like Pearland more 20 years ago than now. My commute is easy, not much traffic, just long. I definitely live where I want though.
  4. Apparently I signed up for email updates. Ironically, this is the only one I ever received (today):
  5. Did they finish them all? I think placing them in random public spaces all over the city would be fun, and make it some kind of way to connect different areas together with a president's head tour map. At least one should become an art car also.
  6. You mean the chinese tallow trees? Or master bland communities**? Ok fine, it's not THAT bad. But I will be forever bitter that my office is down there and I have to drive from the city to the goat farm every day. **I take complete credit for this term if no one else has thought of it, because I can't remember ever hearing it from anyone else
  7. This project was never realistic. The area has no capacity for something like this. They are already closing shops and restaurants in the town center, no way another entire retail/food district was going to hold up. Let go of your 2007 economy pipe dreams people, Pearland is and always will be that muddy, tallow-filled area south of Houston.
  8. I wish they would do a zip line too. That'd be a good time while trying to hold on to my bike.
  9. Can we trade the panda funk-nasty for Po-boy Express? Now that's a damn good chain.
  10. Good article in the Continental magazine this month on Hines. Gotta scroll down. http://magazine.continental.com/201003-idea-makers
  11. National Geographic (March 2010) has a nice page and a half on Houston Heights, sort of a walkable spot in the big city thing. They highlight 20 or so things in the area and have a little cartoon tourist map for them. Neat stuff.
  12. ^Nice toy. Will they make one for people who have driver's licenses?
  13. I second that. I already eat but seeing that makes me want to eat again. I hope there are some cattle roaming around the heights, if so they are toast.
  14. Haha, no. Nutria rat. Not beavers. Long rat tail, orange teeth versus flat and not orange. Invasive species, kill them! At least that's what we say in the marshes of Louisiana.
  15. Someone needs to redirect the Heights arsonist over to this thing. I bet he couldn't even do a lick of damage to this REAL structure...
  16. Is the Schlotzky's still open? That might be the only one left that I know of. Keep it! Or move it to the Heights, where one of the burned down lots are.
  17. Never been to one of these - is it like Potbelly where one size fits all, or different sizes? If so does it compare to Quizno's or Subway? I like Quizno's, their wheat bread rocks and toastiness rules. A little more expensive, but there are coupons in the paper every Sunday and we're cheap bastards who use them every time.
  18. I have an idea - stop getting other team's washed up backups and get a real QB. And quit looking like idiots in front of the national media by writing crap on your shoes about getting money you definitely didn't earn.
  19. That just marks the 3rd BS pointless website related to this project. Never gonna happen.
  20. So it's been done for a while, and when I run by it seems pretty full and active. Anyone know how full it is? Anyone live there?
  21. The first picture looks like an old Ford Tempo. Why is Honda going backwards in terms of style? The bottom pic is better, but I can't say for sure until I can see the front.

    Snack Food

    The apples at Caninos have sucked the past 2 weeks. What the hell.
  23. I didn't say anything about starting families, just "starting earlier"...I was avoiding being blunt. I said that getting knocked up at age 14 is more a part of their culture than it is for others. Maybe it's more a result of their culture of bad parenting or not being educated, but whatever. Same result.
