Guessed you missed the chronicle article

Concord, I love that photo of the airport terminal. Awesome shot!

 

I have to agree.  very iconic

Vik your influential person in planning misled you on sidewalks and the ADA.  centerpoint obtains an easement to place poles.  in the instance, METRO chose to obtain the easement to widen the corridor.  at this point, METRO is responsible for moving the power poles out of the old easement.  since they didn't have enough money the poles remained.  to blame centerpoint is wrong.

 

the city of Houston residents are not required to build and maintain sidewalks and curbs.  there are many areas that don't have them currently.  if they want them, they can petition the city to build them and the neighborhood can pay for them outright OR they could get lucky with a capital improvements shot of funding.  if they have sidewalks currently then yes they want citizens to maintain them.

I'm actually headed there this afternoon for a mooners happy hr.   dec 7 is bad.  all the Christmas parties are already on peoples' calendars.  sorry for not logging in more often.  lot less to look at nowadays.

What's wrong with lounges?

nothing. the time I went there it was loud, not the type of place i'd want to go with a group to talk.

just have to look at historical data.  increased spending doesn't increase test scores.

Gotta be honest winetopia is lame. At voodoo now. So far so good. Reasonably priced too.

What about voodoo queen on the east side? Near milby and Harrisburg. Heard drinks are robust.

That second picture looks old if not current

Yes but eliminates certain areas of town completely.

Is your last name sebelius?

Since my power is out I am craving a drink. We need another happy hour before 2014! No hipster or doucheois places though. Before or after thanksgiving?

All of a sudden I have the urge to watch Good Times.

Increasing funding?

Yes increasing funding.

Open your mind.

lol

For some it evidently is. Shocked me too.

What? what does that even mean?

it means you are missing out on the world around you.

it's strange how people describe different nationalities; i've literally never heard someone say "a vietnamese" in real life; it's always "a vietnamese person/girl/dude/ect."

Yet "an Indian" or "a german" would seem normal. But "a french" or "a japanese" would just sound bizarre.

you youngsters need to get out.

If the Mayor got rid of the parking meters THAT would make parking easier.

"a Vietnamese?" interesting wording.

well I wouldn't ask an Indian...

Yeah....but Cali, Les Givral, Cafe TH, etc...

It's not hard to get good banh mi inside the loop.

if you ask a Vietnamese I think they would disagree. These places are very Americanized to me.

Too bad the 39 rail cars they bought are way behind schedule with a delivery date of TBD.

You are paying a Spanish company $150 million to make the cars. The first one was supposed to be here in July. Then it slipped to November. Now propulsion issues and a failed leak test are forcing METRO to say there is no scheduled date for delivery.

The Republican route of slashing education funding and reducing investments in their communities will only exacerbate crime and inequality.

As we've seen over the past 30 years, increasing funding for education doesn't increase test scores, it only increases the size of the stadia.

yes please delete the bytes

Ah, the usual deep and insightful analysis that I've come to expect from HAIF. It's a pretty conclusively documented fact that there is a strong coorelation between income inequality and crime rates. Income inequality is becoming an increasing problem in Houston and the current wave of economic growth that is underway will increase that disparity. Therefore it isn't a big stretch to conclude that we will see some increase in crime as well.

I'm not talking about the individual crime referenced, I'm talking about overall crime rate. You can go ahead and return to your originally scheduled, "they just need to pull themselves up by their bootstraps" conversation.

please provide conclusive evidence.

I mean its the difference in saying "Much good" and "Very good"... either way it looks great!

yes ignorant
