    looks like borris miles' fortunes continue to elude him. State Representative Borris Miles has been indicted on two counts of deadly conduct. The indictments stem from two different incidents on the same day back in December. The first incident happened during a Rockets/Mavericks game at Toyota Center. At a facility lounge, Miles allegedly pulled a gun on TSU regent Willard Jackson's wife. The second incident took place at a party thrown by businessman David Harris later that same night. At the party, Miles allegedly pulled a gun on Harris.

    not sure i'd agree. how many incarnations has the current vietnamese place near montrose and fairview had? 3 or 4 at least.

    i just thought he came to realization that his morals weren't as high as he thought they were.

    i was talking to my aunt who worked there in the 50's and 60's. she said she had some fond memories of the building. she said the pool was monstrous. my mom said that she got her tickets to go swim there but my aunt didn't remember. she also said the food in the cafeteria was wonderful.

    i'm confident this park will be patrolled, how the other areas in downtown/midtown end up is another story esp with HPDs staffing issues.

    he was selling it there for $64.95

    you sure could tell how 20/25 yrs later this was a sore subject to residents, current and former. realtors driving black families through the neighborhood slowly so that current residents would see this and then the realtors would ask the residents if they were ready to sell. sam felt sure had guts. residents figured out that he had two types of realtor signs. when his full name was on the sign, people knew that the house would only be sold to whites. if a partial name was there, it could be sold to blacks.

    the comments by the younger black guy i found very interesting as well. he said that the black people brought the neighborhood down. he said the jewish people taught them to make money so the blacks came in and brought the properties while they were cheap and the beautiful homes were converted into multiunit apartments so that they could make money by renting them. the anecdote by the older white lady concerning redistricting was humorous. she got called to an emergency meeting on redistricting. the subject was how redistricting would hurt black influence. she said "there are still whites here too". lol

    yep along with the user formerly known as danax. you timed it just right. there was a delay after an elderly lady fell down the stairs in the theater. i must say it was really enjoyable. the residents' comments were quite candid. their negative comments towards realtors was interesting as was the racist diatribe given by sheila jackson lee and her husband elwyn. i did enjoy the ending quite a bit. everything does go full circle.

    lol...remember he's a typical white person. but he's trying to be diverse by eating vietnamese baguettes. turn the city around in what way?
  18. musicman
    yeah that's what they used at my parents....didn't work for 7 yrs

    no. i think you need to go back and look at the project and see what is being built. not sure you're quite there yet. there's a link earlier in the thread describing the configuration.

    the patio was most likely poured after the house foundation. without seeing a pic it would be hard to say whether it is a drain. depending on the situation, surrounding the house the answer would vary. most modern treatments tend to push them to an untreated area vs killing them. my parents and their neighbor had termites go from one house to the other depending on who treated last. a yearly inspection would be prudent particularly if there has been a problem in the past. is it a cypress by chance?
  21. musicman
    the majority of the costs of what?
  22. musicman
    0.5 billion according to the literature. from the different requirements needed between the toll portion and the remaining portion, i don't think i could conclude costs are proportional.
  23. musicman
    their portion isn't a few billion.
  24. musicman
    yeah but mason jar closed yrs ago and has been several incarnations since.
  25. musicman
