  1. I wrote Louis Aulbach, the guy who wrote "Buffalo Bayou: An Echo Of Houston's Wilderness Beginnings" about the controversy over the brewery and vault. This is what he said, "The ruins of the Magnolia Building (the former Magnolia Brewery) are located on the downstream edge of the modern Franklin Avenue bridge while the Donnellan Grave Vault is directly under the bridge." Hope that helps clarify, or maybe fuel the fire. Either or.

      You can't tell me Kyle Lowry and Luis Scola don't. They aren't Lebron, D-Wade, or Kobe. But they give you everything they got every night no matter what. That's the heart of a champion, not what place you are in or how many rings you have.

    3. Highway6

      Highway6

      I would call that a "Heart of a Really Hard Worker" then.

  3. This was just posted on yfrog from wholefish with the quote: "You can see this from orbit! EL Real's marquee back in business"
  4. I know some of the people that work at the Meyer Park apartments and they told me that the Wal-mart is going to be remodeled and not upgraded to a supercenter. As far as the Randalls they believe it is going to stay and yes of course there will be Kohl's
  5. Isn't this area between the Ballet building and the bayou where the Boyle Hotel once stood?
  6. There is very little that could be done to Baldwin Park without removing some of the trees and that would be devastating in the least. As for the super block, that would be somethin. Great location along the lightrail with a station. That would be a good sized park, and there would be a lot of things you could do with it
  7. Going to miss Shane's horrible singing performances lol should be interesting to see how this plays out. I don't think 8th seed playoffs is outa the question. Never know.
  8. Im 100 percent sure you are right DrLan34, the Settegast Estate building is the exact shape, size and dimensions as showed on the rendering. That would be awesome for them to be able to preserve part of history and give it a nice face lift
  9. I take it that the eating table is outside? I understand the meaning of these micro houses but seriously...Could you be any more extreme? I am all for recycling absolutely everything and anything possible. reducing what we use, the whole nine yards. But this is just crazy. Definitely not a house for raising children in. Lord help them if they do
  10. A lot of people are posting great multiple burger places. but if you could only have one final burger before your tumultuous end, Where would you get it from and what would be on it?
  11. Anyone been to Sparkle's Hamburger Spot on Dowling? The best and beefiest (10 oz pattie) burger anywhere in town for about 4 dollars (and thats with cheese). Its fantastic.
  12. Welcome to HAIF sharonmiz. This post may be best in the Greater Northwest subforum for Cypress since it is a small project on the outskirts of town.
  13. Come on really? Is this what it has come to? I mean, I understand yes....the Rockets suck, the Astros suck, the Texans suck. We get it. I enjoy playin air hockey, dont get me wrong. But even with our conventional sports in the drain, are we really going to call air hockey a sport? Anyways if I was Houston I think I'd be quite hesitant to put Mecca of Air Hockey on my resume to the world. It's a cool thing to know, just not something I'd shout on top of a roof top lol
  14. You gotta give us more info than what seems like a hunch lockmat lol Whats got you thinking its back?
  15. I dont understand how it would make it more humid. The human body releases sweat to cool down the body, so why would an artificial "sweat" such as a misting station not be a great idea for jogging/walking trails and parks. Events that do have misting stations during the summer are huge hits. They really don't use a great deal of water, can't be any more than a water fountain. Especially if they were created like a push sink knob where it is activated for a certain amount of time. I don't know, I think it would be awesome. lol Entrepreneurs, get on it!
  16. Houston parks really ought to have Misting Stations. Hit the button and get 30 seconds of mist, especially for those really hot humid days. Just a thought lol
  17. This is an awesome article. Makes me really excited for the future of Houston. I hope it all works out exactly as it is layed out.
  18. Can anyone take pictures of the statues that are being mentioned? I am curious as to what they added and where. Haven't been able to make it down that way in some time =/
  19. Well they succeeded in making Luby's a "stand alone" luby's by completely disconnecting it from the Randalls side of the strip center. lol
  20. I like the color of it come autumn it will look awesome with the leaves changing.
