  1. The actual alignment proposals, as of the last Metro public workshop, has two options of subway underneath either Mckinney or Walker streets. The third option is a surface rail, like the red line, on RUSK. If the Mckinney one is chosen, then, they would have to tunnel deeper to get underneath of the 5 or so underground levels of the GRB. This alignment would continue straight underneath the GRB under Walker Street, then pop up on a portal somewhere around Dowling Street. If the Walker one is chosen, then the plan is to remain subway right under where the proposed Central Park would be, and curve towards the north and bypass the GRB, and therefore, not have tunnel as deep compared to the Mckinney alignment. Again, the portal would emerge somewhere around Dowling Street.
  2. So they are not ashamed of being a woman and showing it. And I know most guys love it. So I dont understand what the problem is? It's kinda offensive when people that are not used to it, will just proclaim our women as prostitutes. Ive seen it several times also. Its also cultural, I think. The Latin influence plays a big part, probably. There's nothing wrong with it, unless your a nun or something I guess.
  3. OK. Its time I mentioned something I heard during the All-Star game. I was walking around Main Street during one of the big block parties, and I was next to a guy from who knows where. But what was interesting was his conversation on the phone to, I presume, a buddy of his somewhere not in Houston, because he was saying something like:
  4. I guess it's the "overall Houston would be considered conservative" I have a problem with; it just seems to proclaim the stereotype, whether its reall or not. Maybe it is. But there are so many ways to measure the idea. I
  5. Dall!!! Youre back!!! Good to hear from you! Hey, youre making me look like some kinda' prevert! Generally, I dont like my name associated with the phrase "upskirt", although, in the event that one is presented to me, I may have no choice but to look. Its who I am. Its whats for dinner. Anyways, hope the magazine and all is doing well. Oh, and, Montrose1100 says hello. Laters.
  6. oops. my error. You were talking about Saturday.
  7. It was a Monday. I think that's all there is to it. There was no game downtown, and it was a Monday. Most people celebrating the 'Stros game were at thier neighborhood pub or sports bar.

  10. Damn. What a great idea. A bowling alley.
  11. That makes me so happy. I can imagine our Midtown being Houston's own little SOHO or something like that, with small retail, galleries, restaurants, pubs, etc. All within a dense carpet of 4 to 20 story residential buildings that but up to the streets, with nice sidewalks and such. Something you can walk around and visit some shops or go out for dinner. I dont live in Midtown, and I probably never will, since I dont make that kind of money. But I love what it does for my city, and I would feel proud to visit Midtown, to show it off to visitors, as an alternative to the high-energy of downtown's historic entertainment district. I cant wait to see it turn into something nice.
  12. FYI: Just talked wth the workers in that building next to Slainte...they say the place still is going to be a Karoke bar, and that there is still about 3 months of work left.
  13. I'm sorry. But so far, this "Krystal Burger" thing doesnt seem as appetizing as a good, juicy, and greesy, Whataburger. (No. 5 with jalapenos). That's my opinion and I'm sticking with it.
  14. Places that allow jeans include: Market Square/Franklin area: La Carafe Warrens Twelve Spot Cabo Old Cotton Exchange Bar Brewery Tap Over by Commerce and main: Speak Easy Main: Live (sports bar) Deans St. Petes Dancing Marlin F2 Saba Slainte Shay McElroy
