How are the going to charge cars with one person, but at the same time allow cars with more than one occupant to ride at a lower rate, or no rate? How will they monitor it?

CyKat

it's in the long katy freeway thread. they are issuing tags where you have to be registered as a carpool vs single occupant.

Both Mia Bella locations (Main St. and Pavilions) will be open simultaneously.

The quote you got for the gas line was cheap. I got a quote for moving my gas line less than 10 ft with easy access to it under the house and it was over $1000 because they had to perform a whole house test upon completion (required by the city).

The price for installing the sink/faucet is high--you can probably get a handy man to do that for you relatively cheaply--it's not exactly skilled work.

it obviously takes some skill.

a permit guarantees nothing unfortunately. if you know the person and have seen their work in the past, that's probably a better guarantee than a permit.

and a couple of times to the Irish-Italian bar and restaurant - shoot, why am I locking up on the name - the chain, which included the one downtown and the one next to the River Oaks movie theater. I don't know if the downtown one is open, but the one on West Gray closed a few years ago.

birraporetti's? the downtown one is open.

Again, just something I heard, nothing definite or concrete... any truth to this?

earlier in the thread it mentions that several businesses are already closed and a few others will be closed in the near future in preparation for the expansion.

Maybe there is merit to our concealed handgun law.

how would this have helped your situation? they were probably going after the truck for parts since it is older.

congrats....now will you let her on the lawn?

I'm of the view that this is worth bringing to the attention of Mayor Bill White and the Houston City Council. But what do you think?

when money isn't allocated to hire enough inspectors to properly inspect new structures...not sure your hopes could be fulfilled on inspecting older apartments.

I want sidewalks & gutters, too! Thanks for posting.

get out the checkbook. sounds like they have already.

Interesting. So what will happen to the Mia Bella spot once Mia bella moves in at Pavilions?

they claim they aren't moving but are opening another location. i'm headed there sat nite and will ask again.

I know, I was thinking 15-17 grand. Is that in the ballpark?

i think it depends on the type of metal and how decorative.....i looked about 3 yrs ago and the price they quoted me as about 90% more than what i thought i could get it done with composition. there were lots of variations though.

My settlement will help offset the cost of upgrading from asphalt shingle to metal. Any recs from you HAIFers on metal roof suppliers/contractors?

big bucks crunch!!

Maybe I just walk a lot, but I agree with the above.

Also (and sorry if this has been asked/answered already) I haven't made it there yet and as wondering how late are the pavilion/stores generally open?

And I understand you can pay to park, but what about street parking if you drive down there? There used to be plenty if I remember correctly...

i depends what's going on in the area already. as more stores/restaurants start to open, there will be less. i was at toyota center a few weekends ago and ended up parking by HP for the concert, since HP hadn't opened yet.

Tis the season

My only issue, yeah it's my own issue and I welcome any criticism, is that why are so many homes built with rooms that are unusable.

this is a different issue altogether.

That's a great-looking house!

Wonder what the status is for the old grocery store that Garland Co. was rehabbing into a residence? It was a work-in-progress on one of the Eastwood Home Tours and supposedly was already sold. I think it's on McKinney.

sure doesn't look like anything is being done. i saw a couple of broken windows upstairs.

Gosh, everyone here is on such a high horse! Of course everyone wants bigger.

I thought you bought the Nissan?

i couldn't handle the sale pitches at nissan and everywhere else to be honest. once i got past the sales people the toyota manager was ready to deal.

now if i can only get past the repeated calls about "do you know your warranty is about to expire?" had one about 1.5 hrs ago.

Is it any relation to Gibson's Steakhouse in the Chicago area? If so, it's supposedly rated as one of the best in the nation.

we were talking about that and someone who goes to gibson said she didn't think there was any relation.

they definitely deal. i bought a toyota last yr. i worked directly with the manager though vs a salesperson, who had to get approval from the manager.

I'm never quite sure if the people in these bits are really clueless or if they're purposefully acting that way to be on radio or TV.

go work an election....you will definitely get the answer.

you can buy apartment furniture but it usually comes at a price....i ended up buying an apartment sofa, only 32" deep vs the minimum 36" or more.

looked cool from the 2nd floor of high fashion fabrics.

I don't have my own talk show or mindless zombies following every word I say... It's different.

let's not get this thread closed too. there are definitely mindless zombies on both sides.

I find it laughable that right-wing TV and radio personalities, and those who follow them, rail against liberal bastions such as NYC and CA... but guess where they live?! NEW YORK AND CALIFORNIA! Michael Savage?! - SAN FRANCISCO! Home of Nancy Pelosi and the Gay Capitol of the world! Sean Hanity - NEW YORK! They love to mouth off against the so-called "liberal elite" - but they live and work right there among them.
