  1. Considering UT-RGV was just formed as an amalgamation of UTPA and UT-Brownsville, I think the state is already working on bolstering the system along the border. Kingsville is not the border.
  2. If this was Texas State bitching about the PUF, none of you would care.
  3. Time to follow the only true path to school naming. P.S. 1, P.S. 2, P.S. 3, P.S. 4... Or better yet, just sell naming rights and help defray the HISD deficit. "My kid goes to Finger's Furniture Middle School!" Helluva bumper sticker.
  4. I did, in fact, Google that publication, and... Yup, sounds like we oughta strap McRaven in at Huntsville and let the pentobarbital flow freely in those bastardly, dastardly veins. Because Watchdog sez he be the 9TH EEEVULLLEST!!!1! I was hoping he would be higher in the rankings so I could be more outraged. My goodness, I hope UT AND A&M build campuses in Houston. The more the merrier.
  5. Interesting piece, which I am sure will engender some vigorous huffing and puffing from those who see urban density as the cure.
  6. I'm still trying to figure out why you think we have ever heard of this "Watchdog" bunch. I have no idea why that is supposed to be a big deal.
  7. http://www.hbu.edu/About-HBU/The-Campus/The-Future-of-HBUs-Campus.aspx There's an interactive map that has some renderings.
  8. Very cool new design! Will be interested to see the final product.
  9. Nope, I will bulldoze every building more than 75 years old
  10. Interesting history of the block at https://peoplesguidetohouston.wordpress.com/2009/05/14/a-witness-to-history-by-rebecca-debardelaben/ I'm just ticked they tore down the boarding house in '96.
  11. They are trying to protect themselves from guerilla marketing efforts.
  12. Evidently they aren't to you. Carry on. Why would I want to send you a PM? I come here to read things and post things, not engage in private discussions.
  13. Nope. I wasn't around then, so not much I could do about that. I'm not too fond of people throwing out "neck beard" and "redneck" in screeds against people they deem as below them. As I'm sure you have slurs you don't like to see thrown around. We all have our pet peeves.
  14. Nawwww, Montrose1100, stick to enjoying your frolics with the hoi polloi in slave-built Dubai
  15. http://www.txdps.state.tx.us/rsd/chl/legal/newlegislation.htm A license is required for open carry. The old CHL is now an LTC.
  16. I don't understand the motivation to carry a firearm in public, openly or not, but on the ranked list of "Things That Make Me Uncomfortable Being Done in Public", it is quite low. It just looks silly. I'm much more uncomfortable with cocky drivers who think it's OK to endanger my life by speeding and/or weaving through traffic, and drivers who think it's OK to have a drink or two before getting behind the wheel.
  17. They have two sites -- chron.com and houstonchronicle.com. The chron.com site is pure clickbait to pay bills, while the other is basically the print version in electronic format.
  18. All very impressive and beautiful, but at what price? I will just leave this here:
  19. http://www.houstonarchitecture.com/haif/topic/32950-509-517-louisiana-to-be-demolished/ You're late to the party...
  20. ROTFLMAO at you, 19514. You made a snarky and uninformed remark about me really needing to visit downtown Houston. I pointed out the error of your ways. We shouldn't really be sidetracking this thread with our petty back-and-forths, so I will leave it at this.
