    Or if budget is an issue, they can go with this...

    Just attach one of these puppies to the back of the train and you're good to go.

    So what are some interesting things to visit along the new lines? Bars, restaurants, funky stores, etc?

    Taking cash only has some not-so-legal perks.

    I don't know...President Good Hair just doesn't have the same ring as Governor Good Hair....

    What were we thinking?

    And all this time I thought that fiery glow in the east was a refinery...

    Is that Mount Houston in the background?
  12. august948
    Say what?
  13. august948
    Apparently, there's a pasture nearby.

    Speed, yes. Scale, no.

    I think that was already part of the city ordinances when this was built (2000 or so). I've wondered if they got a variance of some sort as they did build sidewalks along other sides of the development.

    They did the yogurt and coffee shop thing at the one near me at Westheimer and Dairy Ashford, but it was gone within 6 months. Replaced by a florist counter. Other than that the store has been doing ok so far, judging from the traffic in and out. Not as good traffic as the one at Bellaire and Hwy 6, but decent.

    It's very similar to, and is owned by, The Cheesecake Factory. Ambiance and lighting (on the dark side) are similar. Food is a standard assortment. They used to have enormous chocolate cream puffs, but those have been gone for several years now. That was the only thing that made it stand out to me.

    Nowadays it's more often Hummers. Back in the day BMW's and Mercedes were the more common cars. I did see a kid driving a Rolls once. Probably a hand-me-down.

    And vice versa.

    I don't see Fiesta leaving it's niche. If they do, they'll never survive. Not much value in a bit player mainstream grocer. It'd be my guess that they clean up whatever they can and sell to a larger chain looking to expand in the Hispanic market.
  21. august948
    Yeah. They built a number around 2000 or 2001, including one downtown. After 3 or 4 years there was some sort of dispute between corporate and the local franchisee and they all shut ddown.

    And most college students really haven't been driving that long either and lack the experience and judgement of an older driver.
  23. august948
    Can businesses and developers within the city limits be forced to build a sidewalk? There's a long stretch of Richmond along the Royal Oaks development where they never put in a sidewalk.
  24. august948
    Sweet! An Arby's further out on Westheimer, east of Dairy Ashford, also just closed. Now I can get my hopes up that they convert that one to Krispy Kreme, too.

    The west loop is best avoided during rush hour. Not sure any of the mass transit plans I've seen are going to make a big dent in that, though.
