most likely its mediocrity is the culprit

sounds like a call to jason.

there are numerous neighborhoods in midtown, this is probably just another one.

i think it is a store of some sorts. i remember seeing quite a few students there during lunch time.

les said the kc deal was too hard to beat. i think KC offered free rent and he said there's no way he could do that.

when the destination isn't near the bus, then that's where the problem comes in. for me at night, using the bus takes a lot longer than driving. i use the bus when i go to the downtown macy's because it is easier. but if i have to then catch the LRT or another bus, it adds too much to my travel time so i tend to drive.

i do enjoy the gallery in the 200 block of travis when i'm there during the day........

your IF scenario is not realistic as it is not in metro's plans. as for the snobs living in the area....many value their time and most will only use the light rail IF it saves them time. currently the majority of their trips will be more efficient if they drive to their destination.

the new hempstead tollway looks like a good idea.

i believe there were three downtown at its peak.

Yes i am a native but my comments weren't a bad habit nor narrow view. that is an honest assessment. public transportation isn't just for the "po folk" but if it increases travel times for the commuter, there is less likelyhood of them using it.

i guess the people who i know is the area are too well off to use mass transit. for most of their daily trips, mass transit will not be an option.

they are using yellow suits in the medical ward currently.

i don't understand the popularity of the place. the food is ok but nothing i would wait in line for. i did go one time when they had a trio playing and enjoyed that.

occasional inconvenience isn't a problem esp during big events like rodeo. i know the bus that goes by my house is sometimes full during AM rush but they don't add buses for something that happens occasionally. long term it may become a problem more frequently unless the frequency is increased to meet the increased long term demand.

seems mayor white has offended the mayors of nearby cities such as pasadena, deer park etc by proposing plans for their cities even though he isn't mayor. should be interesting. article Four area mayors accuse Houston Mayor Bill White of overstepping his authority with his plan to reach beyond his city limits to negotiate voluntary reductions in carcinogenic benzene emissions at plants from Texas City to Baytown. The mayors of LaPorte, Baytown, Pasadena and Deer Park say White has no business invading their turf and feel snubbed because they weren't consulted prior to the plan's unveiling three weeks ago. "Mayor White is over Houston," LaPorte Mayor Alton Porter said. "He's not the mayor over all Harris County." The mayors also say White's plan could hurt their cities' economy. They contend cars

LOL....may i suggest a helipad on the roof?

just remember it takes an EE to spell geek.

that is true. the number of cars is effectively increased by increasing frequency.

i have the same pic dbigtex

The Mayor was on the news yesterday and he mentioned how keeping traffic moving in the city is his priority. councilmember sue lovell is also siding with the mayor on his traffic proposals. in an earlier post you said "it is just plain silly to not allow people to make left turns to THEIR HOMES, THEIR BUSINESSES, TO THE MENIL, or TO THE UST during certain times of the day." when rail gets put on richmond it will definitely affect how local residents get to THEIR HOMES, THEIR BUSINESSES, TO THE MENIL, or TO THE UST. if that is the main problem you have, then you should be against both alabama's current road config and the new light rail because they do affect local traffic.

LOL good summary though.

so what plants are you looking for?

no need to worry. capacity is a function of the number of LRT cars. that can grow if needed.
