Was so nice to attach a face to all these witty haifers! Im so glad I decided not to be a lurker and introduce myself.

Dont shoot your wad about the parking. I think it is a total of about 12 spots. Feel free to park in my yard.

Im in! I just returned from a relaxing trip to Wimberley and Austin and need a little douchery back in my system! Plus, this may be one of the last times I can make the walk down the street to the drinkery... the move is coming soon! I have yet to decide if I will introduce myself to anyone or lurk....

Yall, this is by far the funniest thread I have ever read on HAIF. I have tears in my eyes. I also have a liter box full of cat turds that I will share.

It would be fun if they were Houston locations...

I think the new bronx is actually smaller in square feet than the village location. The parking lot has about 10 spaces.

Alot of the charming charlie stores are carrying clothes now. Great place to pic up a summer dress.

On an unrelated note, I am leaving the washington area this month and headed north to oak forest. VERY excited. Apparently I am becoming too middle aged for the corridor.

Went to Bronx last night. Stupid lay out. The upstairs porch has no bathroom or access to the inside. Cant wait to hear about the dumb girl who falls head first down those stairs. The inside is about 600 sq feet and has only one bathroom for men and one for women. Its a cool old building and they managed to leave it some of its dignity. I will give it this, they had a really good DJ on a tuesday night which was a plesant surprise. Douche factor was low, but that was only because there were like 10 people there.

I think I saw a board advertising a happy hour. But I didnt really take much notice. Not sure on pint prices either. So really I am worthless to you, but wanted to respond anyway.

Went to Taps last night. They have a GREAT selection of draft beer. Place is pretty laid back and had a good vibe. What I did not have a good vibe about was the $9 shots!! Bronx bar had thier soft opening last night.

Sawyer park is owned by the same folks as Drake.

I love parking lots.

I'm kicking it old school tonight and going to Benjy's in THE VILLAGE!

Went to the Drinkery last night and I am pleased to report it is DOUCHE BAG FREE! For the time being anyway......

Thanks for the help. I am going to cruise around later this week.

Howdy folks! I am looking for a rental property in the Heights, Oak forest or Garden Oaks area. I have looked on HAR, craigslist and all the usual places. Thought maybe someone on HAIF would know of a hidden jewel! We have 2 dogs so the place would have to be pet friendly. We currently live off washington and things are just getting a little too ridiculous over here. Thanks for your help!

Thank you so much for the jeep pics! Brought a smile to my face this monday morning.

Sorry to hijack the thread but the reason that I ask is that I have several friends who are in their early 30s single, never been married, no kids that worry they may be classified as such. All are good looking girls who put their careers first. We love a 5 dollar Rain martini and go to Benjys all the time. Glad to know we arent being considered as such.

at what age does one become a cougar? just a thought -- maybe these ladies were just hanging out together enjoying some drinks ... not on the "prowl"

I was seriously considering large rocks in the yard, but then I limit parking for my own guests. Maybe I will get one of those air soft guns and start shooting folks. I imagine the pellets dont hurt all that much, and everyone is so drunk they will have no idea where the shots came from!

Well reign opened up on saturady night and it was a cluster f*ck at best. Traffic was STOPPED on washington going both ways at jackson hill. I actually called the cops for the first time to make a noise complaint about drunk people in front of my house. By no means do I hate the bars, I enjoy walking to them just like everyone else.. It isnt the people that walk to them that are the problem. It is the jackasses that drive in from pearland in their huge trucks who park all over my yard and rip it up. When I moved here 5 years ago this neighborhood was nothing like this. It may haev seemed "scary" to those who dont live here but once you get to know the homeless foks, it isnt scary at all. What is scary is all the drunk drivers, and the lack of action from HPD. So was I supposed to use my crystal ball to forsee what was about to befall my quiet niehgborhood? Its almost enought to make someone move to the surburbs.

Blue label was open as of last night... Not that I go there. Just drove by.

My best friend and her fiance just bought a house in the Heights and were looking for some cute neighborhood places that they could take their engagement pictures. THANKS!! btw - we arent limiting ourselves to the heights, so if you know of any other places, please do tell. The photographer is a friend from out of town so he dosent really have any good suggestions.

So am I reading this correctly? We are getting a creek where wescott ice house used to be? I wish the creeks had waitstaff. That would make me a very happy lady.
