    Probably shouldn't have let his dog pee in the elevator.

    He doesn't show up on KSEV's schedule - where are you seeing it? Malone is a major ass-monkey in person. ETA: Okay, found him on the Host Bios list, but no show is listed for him.

    If by "character" you mean "chickens in the front yard, goats out back, random gunshots, and trash in the street," then please count this girl as unappreciative.

    I think this will now be my new tagline.

    My family moved to Quail Valley in 1975. Surprisingly little has changed in the actual subdivision ... the trees are larger, that's about it. The homes are still mid-'70s, and there's some damn strange architecture from that time. What lies around Quail Valley has changed. Used to be, the only ways in were 59 to Wilcrest or South Main to 2234. Now it's another pass-through on your way to Pearland or Richmond.

    NYMBY: Not Your My Back Yard?

    Point of order: the child was named Eugenie Victoria. Melanie commented that the baby's eyes were as blue as the bonnie blue flag, and the nickname stuck. /pedant

    Just for my own ornery curiosity, aren't those largely mid-century homes? Not awesome architecturally, but the sort we delicate flower and moan about being demolished and then we bewail Houston's cultural Philistinism?

    FWIW, I live in Chateaux Dijon - my apartment overlooks Pilgrim's running track - and as of this morning, it was still For Sale. Interestingly, the For Sale signs are specific to the land. Wonder how hard it'd be to get into Pilgrim?

    Thanks! I grew up in Quail Valley, and that house has always fascinated me. Local legend has it that the house was connected with the Joan Robinson Hill murder in some fashion.

    Not much up in Pearland when a new gas station is considered noteworthy, eh?

    Might be 527 - the teensy little spur that takes you off Smith and onto 59, and seems like it has speed-trap potential.
  13. KristinDaugherty
    See? I knew someone would know right off! Thank you much!

    Uh, heh heh, heh heh ... heh heh, heh heh ... you said 420.

    Yeah, so perhaps the thread title isn't as catchy as "dead skunk in the middle of the road" ... but you gotta start somewhere! So there's this house I see, on my rare voyages into downtown to get cheese from the big Spec's. I'll be heading out of Spec's, so southwest on Smith until I get to 59, and just after I pass under the Pierce Elevated, on my right is this huge gorgeous old house. I am positive someone here has the skinny on it, what it is and what it was and how old it is and all that interesting info. (Frankly, I wouldn't be surprised if there's already a thread on it and I just can't ID the sucka.) Thanks, y'all!

    Backstage at the Texas Renaissance Festival, we have a long-standing joke about our imminent buy-out by Disney. Gives us something to spook the n00bs with.

    I work in One Post Oak Central; my office window faces the Transco Tower, and I can see the back of the Canyon Cafe and Abraham's Oriental Rugs from here. So this building will literally be built before my eyes. Intriguing!

    Mr. Hodges, Ms. Berry ... what an awesome story y'all have added a layer of cool to! Thank you so much for comin' here to tell that. I'm the first generation of native Houstonian in my family, so I don't have connections as deep as y'all do, so I find stories like this fascinating.

    My best friend's sister's boyfriend's brother's girlfriend heard from this guy who knows this kid who's going with the girl who saw the governor with a hoochie that night. Guess it was pretty serious.

    Born here in 1968. Spent my entire life here, except my kindergarten year (family issues led us to Seguin for the school year). Would leave if another job paid me LOTS, but wouldn't like it. H-town is my home. My dirty, smelly, littered, noisy, hoboed-up parking lot of a home. My fun, bright, yummy, friendly, handshaking melting pot of a home.

    Re picture 11 ... what held the floors up? I don't know much about building, but I'd think there would be some sort of floor studs or something.
  22. KristinDaugherty
    I sure hope not, because then stuff would be, like, burned in hate, which as we all know is FAR worse than being burned without hate.

    One of my work buddies is hatching a fiendish plot to screw with those of us who will remain after he's been lucky enough to retire or be canned, and he is in need of some old area Yellow Pages. He'd prefer '70s or earlier. (Yeah, I know, but he's picky.) Does anyone have any idea where some of these are available for purchase?
  24. KristinDaugherty
    I tell you what Pearland is missing ... a Spec's.
  25. KristinDaugherty
    And that, kids, is Sugar Creek for you. Yuppiefied soccer-mom hell, just like Quail Valley except with more disposable income. /Misery City dweller mode
