    Garden Oaks Information & Developments

    in The Heights

    You can occasionally find something like what you are looking for in Timbergrove or Lazybrook. The houses in Timbergrove South of 11th, east of TC Jester are the most likely candidates, but will still be rare. There are a few areas in Spring Branch that will meet your criteria as well, but you ahve to look around and do your research on the specific neighborhoods.

    I second Lazybrook and Timbergrove - both nice neighborhoods. Maybe Shepherd Forest? You can find 3 bed/2 bath there.

    good selection but thats where it ends. place is designed terribly. its laughable some of the design cues they used. random enclosure that doesnt utilize all the back patio. random enclosure that makes those waiting for the bar squeezed in unnecessarily tight. very random, our group all said they wouldnt go back

    Yep, they have the same design flaws at the other 2 Bronx Bars - tight spots and less than 500 ft of space. 20 people inside = crowded and can't move.

    Edit - Oops, I thought you were talking about Bronx...sorry =)

    Did anyone see the Houston Press story in the current issue about Bronx Bar being racist? I wonder if its going to damage business at their locations.

    Edit: this one http://blogs.houston...internetexp.php

    Pretty amusing article actually, from the title: "Bronx Cheer: Black Music Allowed at Rice Village Bar. Black People? (Allegedly) Not So Much."

    Also, that they turned away a black guy who was from the Bronx, heh.

    I can TOTALLY vouch for that being TRUE. I had my 25th b-day party there and my invite list included all races. I literally had to embarrass the heck out of the door douche to let my black friends in. I basically called him a racist in front of the crowd, got the manager out there and called him a racist, and then he let them in (all 2 of them). I really didn't want to stay there after all that, but it was already 1:00 a.m. and I was too drunk to round up my gang and move.

    Took this yesterday, it's right across the street from the Shell on Washington... Mannequins with dresses in the windows...? A new resale shop? Another Dean's Credit Clothing? There were more dresses hanging (randomly, not on racks, that I could tell) inside. Looked like they were adding a little bricked patio with palm trees on the side too.

    Anyone know what it is?

    I have been wondering about the mannequins too! They have graced the windows for about a month now. Whoever has moved into Casa's needs to take down the catering signage

    Anyone know what the Social is like now days? I haven't been there in about 5 years when it was the only club in that area. Also, anyone know of a good bar on Washington to watch the fireworks for 4th of July?

    The owners totally revamped the Social and it's awesome inside, but it's dead dead dead. I mean, I still like to go there, esp on Friday nights to hear the DJ play 80s-90s hip-hop, but the crowd is always slim.

    Greenspoint Mall Memories

    in Historic Houston

    I've never been to Greenspoint, just passed it by on 45 north. Is the mall and the surrounding area similar to Sharpstown? Do these two areas share a similar story?

    IMO, Greenspoint and Sharpstown were once both nice malls in nice areas, but declined. To me, I think the "feel" of Greenspoint is more similar to Northwest Mall than Sharpstown.
