dude we fill our big green recycle bin to the top. definitely a good size for those who know what all is recycleable.

im so happy to be part of the pilot program. before it was a pain to have to go to a recycle drop off for glass and tin

here we come 90 win season!

just starting off 1-4

Wow, we now have another rail line with a connecting station!!

haha

wooo! awesome

their site said they were reopening march 26th so it should be open for business. all is right with the world now!

gotta love their cinnamon sticks..*drools*

that is a super awesome idea =]

i really havent been to Hermann Park in a really long time. hearing about all these improvements really make me want to go down there and check it out

and yeah that bridge looks pretty lame.

should have taken that million and build a bridge out of one million dollar bills >.<

Late Nite Pie made some awesome pizza, what a shame, they better come back!

thanks for the pics. ive missed out on checkin up on the building since their cam stop working

that seems like it would be an awesome show to watch. i love history and fun facts

after watching Kyle Lowry since the trade, i must say i am pretty impressed and think the rockets made a good trade. he surely isnt afraid to sacrifice himself for the team and drive it to the hole when no one else is producing

well thats encouraging to see. nothing wrong with a bronze medal lol

gah seeing MP go up gets me excited lol.

Another Rockets article...

The NBA's Best Owner...With a financial windfall and a consistently winning team, the Houston Rockets' Leslie Alexander is tops.

That track record is why Alexander tops our list of the NBA's best owners. In the past six years, the Rockets have nearly doubled revenue, to $156 million from $80 million, helping grow the club's valuation to $469 million from $278 million in 2003--all while playing in a mid-sized market that falls in the NBA's bottom third in median income. On the court, the team has won 58% of its games over the past five seasons, while earning four playoff appearances.

Falling in just behind Alexander is San Antonio's Peter Holt (47% valuation growth and two titles since 2003), Detroit's William Davidson (69% valuation growth and a championship) and Miami's Mickey Arison (66% growth in one of the league's poorest markets, plus a title in 2006).

AH! you beat me to it lockmat. pretty interesting article though

the red lights automatically make me think of the Rockets.

In their commercial 'Get Red' the red spreads throughout downtown lol

i dont know, maybe its just me

if only the rockets would do something

nice picture

is it just me or does the top floors on the right side not look level to one another? something looks off to me

Dallas for sure.

theres not a more boring drive up 45 to dallas. id take a rail for sure

So you are wanting to take a picture of a Prius and solar panels?

I wouldnt think you would find a place in Houston for that. seems like they would be easily damaged or stolen for ground level solar panels

i wonder what will happen with the existing oak trees around powerlines.

what would be the distance from the power lines one could plant an oak tree? =/

agreed, its gettin up there. i cant wait for this area of downtown to grow up, its going to be a great spot.

i was down over there the other night at Mom Alone mexican restaurant but forgot to take a look and see whats happening over there

yeah austin's news is so much more liberal lol. love the youtube zombie links =]

Was just announced they are doing the ground breaking for this. Man, this came out of nowhere!

when is the breaking ground? and is this different pedestrian bridge than the formally known Tolerance Bridge?

Push for high-speed rail in Texas re-emerges

Thursday, January 29, 2009

AUSTIN (AP) — The vision of high-speed rail lines swiftly shuttling Texans between big cities such as San Antonio and Houston in brisk 90-minute trips is trying to get back on track.

Bullet trains in Texas are being touted again in a big way, and backers who hope to have a $12 billion to $18 billion network of high-speed trains running by 2020 say their proposal won't fall flat again.
