So I'm guessing that they sold their url to some town home development that's been existence for a good while...

Is this development still on?

What kind of place is Warren's? They don't serve any food?

I really like Matt and Adam together when they did the night show at 610. However, I didn't really like Matt with Rich.

I'm glad Rich is still there though. I'm not a huge fan of Robert.

Also, I heard them say Rich was out sick, either yesterday or Monday.

Beginning November 30, Air Canada is linking Montreal and Houston with daily, nonstop service.

Air Canada flight AC7997 departs Montreal at 9 a.m. arriving in Houston at 11:55 a.m. The return flight, AC7998, departs Houston at 12:25 p.m., landing in Montreal at 4:40 p.m. Both Executive and Economy class are available and all seats have individual seatback entertainment.

Fares are starting at $226 one way.

Sounds good, what's the average price of an entree?

Wow, the margin between NY and Houston, and Houston and Dallas/others is huge.

I guess they do Mike Leach's radio show there every week in Lubbock. I heard him yesterday and he seems to like the nachos.

Patrol spokesman Kim Montes said injuries are considered serious if they require more than minor medical attention.

Seriously Injured????

That was the intial report.

Well it didn't take long for townhomes to start coming under the wrecking ball. A couple of apparently perfectly healthy specimens have been torn down at the corner of Woodhead and West Clay (behind the Kroger).

Do you know why?

New reports that he's been released. Also that charges are pending, for what, nobody knows yet.

Right on the money (also describes what happened in South Florida). Didn't Abu Dhabi help them a few months ago? And everything looked stable... Not anymore... Not sure why Abu Dhabi - which has like $900 billion in assets? - would let its little brother just hang out there like that... oh well.

Speak of the devil...

Apparently hit a fire hydrant, his neigbors tree, airbags did not deploy and alcohol was not involved.

Sounds like he was not wearing a seat belt. Hope he's ok.

This idea was first mentioned in alternative options for Metro in the posted thread, but nobody else mentioned it. This seems like such a great idea. Does anyone have some experience with this?

Dang, TAMU has some great recievers. JJ looks good, too.

I saw The Blind Side last night. Excellent movie. I'll be buying it once it comes out on DVD.

The LA Times has a great article on it. The last quote on it shows why it was really such a great movie:

Pretty cool. Are there any other states that offer so much variety? Good greif, that is a ton of options; much more choice than simply chooseing your numbers and letters.

Now they just need to add clovers and hearts like California.

It's not topped out yet, is it? I've not had the opportunity to see it for any length of time in person, so I can say about the height appearance.

I'm not sure if it's topped out yet. The thread says 20+ but to me it looks closer to 30 at least. I didn't count the floors when I saw it.

anyone?

I was at the game last night and am rewatching the game right now. Did anyone see or get a picture of Transco lit up with TEXANS spelled out????

This is a massive building.

I was thinking the same thing when I saw it last night. Don't you think it looks a lot taller than it really is, too?

4,800 SF of office?

Yes?

Our best season ever and not much discussion. Maybe b/c everyone is waiting it out, being cautious?

Anyway, Transco will spell out T-E-X-A-N-S Monday night with their window lights!!!

Nancy has the scoop and picture here: http://blogs.chron.c.../11/post_9.html

I'm sure there will be plenty of people taking pictures of it.

Duplicate thread

Show us the way. Where is the other one? PM mod to have merged.

...last week that the Texas Transportation Commission gave the nod to begin spending money on a massive reconstruction of the northwest artery. Or, at least, the first part of the first phase of a massive reconstruction. The $315 million allocation will allow work to begin on rebuilding the interchange of U.S. 290, Loop 610, and Interstate 10. The next 18 months will be spent acquiring rights-of-way and moving utilities. Drivers should start seeing construction in May 2011...

The work will include adding segregated, direct connector ramps to reduce the merging of cars exiting 290 onto the West Loop. For example, one ramp will take vehicles from 290 straight onto I-10 (eastbound or westbound) without making them first join the southbound main lanes of the West Loop.

Widening 290 is still in the future, planners hope. But funding has not been identified for those later phases, and TxDOT in general is facing a depletion of funds unless it finds more revenue soon. Planners are already telling me that raising the gasoline tax will be a big issue in the next legislative session.

Pretty sweet project. This architect alone has a ton of DFW projects that are pretty cool. Dallas is really gettin' after this type of development. I wonder how many of these are still planned.
