this place is tropospheric. had a call drink for about 9.50 or so.

some of the structures from this are still there, although dilapidated.

looks like rachael ray did a nice thing..... Television personality Rachael Ray throws a mass wedding at Minute Maid Park for 33 couples who lost nuptial venues

quite a few of the older warehouses sustained damaged. i know that the commerce street warehouse also had large portions of its roof torn off. they are trying to get it back together for the upcoming art crawl.

not sure the quality of some of these is any better. pottery barn and crate and barrel were written up in a magazine i was reading at the dr's office. it mentioned several others that were of poor quality.

they sell locks for gates which would help alleviate your concern. if you have a wooden fence, it's already very easy to pull off the panel and get into the area.

my parents are in their late 60's and pay someone to cut their 410'x15' easement. i think they pay $25. theirs is pretty big so i'm sure yours would be considerably less.

if they would only enforce the ordinances on the book, it would be cut/maintained. many civic clubs have these same type of issues when ordinances aren't enforced. (loud noise, garage sales, high weeds, etc) why don't you turn in the addresses to neighborhood protection if you're that concerned? if not neighborhood protection, elevate it and contact yoour councilperson. what street is this?

a conservancy was setup to take care of discovery green.

As civic club President, you need to use all resources possible. Does this hinder drainage for the street or the neighborhood in any way? If so, you may take this approach and the city will cut it. Not sure where you're located but the county also cuts this if it affects drainage.

no, there are slacker home owners throughout Houston.

doesn't sound like the City is the one shirking.

the perimeter minimum setbacks are set by the city. the inner corridor would be most likely be designed to maximize interior space

1)the dog shouldn't be roaming on your property. as for maiming, i wouldn't think that would be allowed for scaring someone however a bb/pellet gun could be helpful in preventing 1. LOL

i know 4 longer term residents (all over 5 yrs) and they say there's the standard problems with older buildings but evidently not enough for them to move. i know many units got wet from ike so there's some of that you'd probably have to deal with.

no loathing here...enjoy.

being different is one thing....however when they used the word lovely.... that crossed the neutral barrier IMO.

party at the house with some friends so i can hand out candy to the trick or treaters. cooked and making some foo foo drinks for the coworkers.

while the statement is a comparison, it's definitely not neutral.

i know, kinda negative huh?

read it again...it's called best inventions, the shadowless skyscraper.

if it were only that easy. METRO moved the route again just this yr cause of one neighborhood complaining and a vocal councilperson backing them up.

postively negative yes.

i recommend in a gadda da vida

LOL Very true. I must say that your earlier post regarding Rev Wright, Bill Ayers and Rashid Khalidi was one of the best posts on HAIF in a long while.
